Function
"Ingenuity pathway analysis classification revealed enrichment of several pathways and functional groups among common up-regulated genes. For instance, PLA2G2A/Pla2 g2a, phospholipase A2, group VII (PLA2G7/Pla2 g7), prostaglandin E synthase (PTGES/Ptges), and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1 (GPD1/Gpd1) are eicosanoid signaling components, suggesting that the dysregulation of this particular pathway is well conserved between the animal model and IPF, a finding of significant interest considering the phenotype of prostaglandin synthase 2 knockout mice.
