Connectivity Map [66] (CMAP) analysis—drugs that have opposite gene expression profile effects to the signature of our validated genes (A), and out of them, those that are also significant predictive biomarkers (B–D). A score of −1 indicates the perfect opposite match, i.e., the best potential therapeutic to decrease stress. Bold—top candidates. Bold and italic—natural compounds of interest. Bold and underlined—compounds known to modulate stress, which serve as reassuring positive controls
