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.

2.     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.
