Fig. 2

In the STRING network, red or blue nodes correspond to hazard ratio (HR) > 1 or HR < 1, and node shading corresponds to transformed HR = (-(1/HR)). If the protein is an indirect neighbor other than the 144 list of ‘top hits,’ there is no corresponding HR value and it is shaded in grey. Node size reflects the degree, or number of connections between each protein and other proteins. Proteins related to insulin-like growth factor(IGF) have a yellow border, and inflammation-related proteins a black border. Protein names are listed in Supplementary 14.
