In our results, SST activated immune pathways such as the cytokine receptor pathway (mmu04060), the TNF signaling pathway (mmu04668), rheumatoid arthritis pathway (mmu05323), NOD-like receptor signaling pathway (mmu04621) but it also repressed other immune-related pathways such as the systemic lupus erythematosus pathway (mmu05322), the complement and coagulation pathway (mmu04610), and the Staphylococcus aureus infection pathway (mmu05150) (Figure 4). This evidence concerns the gene TNF and systemic lupus erythematosus.
