Heme oxygenase-1 is a critical gene in the activation of endothelial cells by oxPAPC. (A) Visualization of the whole network consisting of 2000 transcripts, organized into 11 modules, shown by distinct colors. Network was constructed based on genomic expression data of HACEs from 149 donors, treated with oxPAPC. Examples of module enrichment in specific pathways are shown. HO-1 is a “hub” of gene-gene interactions in the blue module, enriched in redox and sulfur aminoacid processes. (B) HO-1 mRNA expression. Basal levels varied approximately ninefold at baseline (black curve) but only approximately twofold after treatment with oxPAPC (red circles). (C) Basal HO-1 mRNA levels correlated negatively with IL-6 mRNA expression. Taken from Romanoski et al. (2011).
