Consistent with the upregulation of these pathways, the network model further showed that exocytosis (RAB27B, ECM1, STYL1, SDC1, ITIH3, S100A13, MYH10, LAMP2, VAMP8, and STX4) and inflammation (S100A8, S100A9, NMI, C1QBP, IL1RAP, IL1RN, NFKB1, ANXA1, PRDX5, and LYZ) were also upregulated in PCP. This evidence concerns the gene ECM1 and pneumocystosis.
