Figure 6. Bioinformatical network analysis for cytokeratin.

Figure 6

Proteins are the nodes and the edges are protein activation/inactivations, such as phosphorylation and dephosphorylation across a set of proteins. The cytokeratin analysis reveals an up-regulation of Keratin 6 A and B, Keratin18, Keratin 19 and Keratin 81. In our data, genes for Keratin 15, FAM107A, BBS1 and Peripherin were down-regulated in cholesteatoma. Colors: red: up-reglated genes within cholesteatoma compared to external auditory skin; green: down-regulated genes within cholesteatoma compared to external auditory skin; grey: the gene for the protein is not in the microarray; Node-Size: The “Node Ranking” describes the number of interactions. The bigger the nodes, the more interactions are represented for the protein in the network.
