Fig 7. Predicted upstream regulators.

Fig 7

Based on the differentially expressed genes, certain functions like inflammatory response, chemotaxis of T lymphocytes, and growth of connective tissue were predicted to be inhibited (blue). IPA analysis predicted that the inhibition of upstream regulators like the cytokine TGFB1, EDN1, IL-6 and OSM would lead to decrease in the functions listed in the third tier of the figure via their effect on the mediator genes that were also seen to be differentially expressed between the two groups.
