Pathway Analysis
1.
Gene Ontology Enrichment
Analysis (GOEA) Network
Notes: This network was
generated for all the therapeutic entities of checkpoint targets via KEGG
database, ShinyGO toolkit and DAVID toolkit. In summary, a few GO terms were
significant among all the entities such as ‘negative regulation of T cell
activation’, ‘regulation of cell-cell adhesion’, ‘regulation of immune system
process’, ‘positive regulation of cytokine production’ and ‘regulation of
responses to stress’ etc.

Reactome Pathway Analysis
Notes: This pathway analysis was
generated for all the therapeutic entities of checkpoint targets via Reactome
toolkit. In summary, a few biological pathways were significant among all the
entities such as ‘immune system’, ‘cell cycle’, ‘signal transduction’, ‘gene
expression (transcription)’ and ‘DNA repair’ etc.
