Fig. 2. Visualisation and modularisation of the ulcerative colitis-associated signalling network.

Fig. 2

a The ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated signalling network contains proteins affected by—associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), their interactor partners as well as the transcription factors(TF) and micro-RNAs(miRNA) whose binding or target sites are affected by a SNP. Circles represent proteins and squares represent regulators (red = TFs, blue = miRNAs). Nodes are coloured according to network modules. The modules are named by their representative function. At the top right side of the network are TFs involved in potential regulatory feedback loops in UC pathogenesis. b Visualisation of the two regulatory modules. The module on the left represents the transcription factor binding sites based effects on the downstream network, which affects almost the entire signalling network. The module on the right represents the microRNA-target site based effects that mainly happen by regulating PRKCB.
