Figure 6

Network analysis of differentially expressed proteins using the IPA software. Proteins of WS that were found to be significantly different among pSS, non-SS sicca syndrome, RA-sSS and SSc-sSS syndromes were analysed by using IPA. (A) This network shows 35 proteins that work together for Cellular Movement, Haematological System Development and Function, Haematopoiesis. Ten of these 35 proteins were found in our salivary proteome. Protein-to-protein direct (solid lines) or indirect (dashed lines) interactions/regulations, based on information published in the literature are shown in the figure. In the panel B, the top 17 functions of the proteins identified in the network are shown. Proteins were matched to 72 functions with significance above 1.83 (P <0.015). The top 17 functions involving the 35 proteins are shown here with the number of associated proteins that were identified for each function.
