Figure 2. Predicted interactions between genes and microRNA (miRNA) in pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Figure 2

Genes that were differentially expressed in lung tissues of patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis compared to controls (as described in Figure 1) are depicted according to the function of their protein products. The predicted targets of differentially expressed miRNA transcripts, which were identified in pulmonary sarcoidosis in a previously published report (23) were then analyzed using curated online miRNA target prediction resources (microRNA.org, targetscan.org). The predicted interactions among gene products are represented by black arrows, and the predicted interactions of specific miRNA with specific genes are represented by color-coded triangles. The sum total of these interactions is designated the “interactome”.
