A quantitative label-free analysis of the extracellular proteome of human supraspinatus tendon reveals damage to the pericellular and elastic fibre niches in torn and aged tissue
Fig 5
The interactions of all proteins which were significantly reduced in torn samples compared to control, created using the STRING database.
The different line colours represent the different types of associations between the differentially modulated proteins, which include known interactions such as those identified in the curated database (light blue), and experimentally determined (purple). Other interactions identified were via text mining (green), co-expression (black) and protein homology (grey). Proteins are: COL1A1, Collagen 1(I); COL1A2, Collagen 2(I); COL6A1, Collagen 1(VI); COL6A2, Collagen 2(VI); FBLN1, Fibrillin-1; MFAP5, microfibrillar associated protein 5; COMP, Cartilage oligomeric protein; THSD4, Thrombospondin-4; CILP1, Cartilage intermediate layer protein 1; CILP2, Cartilage intermediate layer protein 2; TGFB1, Latent-transforming growth factor beta-binding protein 2; FBN1, Fibulin-1; TNXB, Tenascin-X; MYOC, Myocilin.
