Figure Lengend Snippet: Spotfire generated heatmaps. TOP shows on the vertical dendrogram axis the organization of 1,373 CM interactome fragments overlapping with biological process network and identifies network-network interactions; the horizontal dendrogram axis identifies phenotypes of 747 natural products and CM ingredients containing substance groups inducing similar interactions in network fragment phenotypes; the vertical dendrogram section highlighted in green identifies network-network connectivity of core group of 416 network fragments induced by all 747 CM ingredients. BOTTOM identifies that a phenotype of 67 Fragment within the red boundary of the top heatmap containing biological process regulating vitamin D metabolism, Nitric oxide production and redox balance overlap with a network regulating caveola functions. Shown are the information densities of proteins CAV1, CAV3, PTRF, CAV2, FLOT1, FLOT2, NOS3, SRC, STOM, PRKCDBP, EHD2, SLC6A3, KIF18A, PACSIN2, CDH1, ADTRP, TFPI, PTGIS, PLVA with 67 network fragments.
Article Snippet: Selection of network fragments with < 10 network nodes (associated with a strength of > 0.9 and a p value of < 0.0001) produced 1,373 biological structure-function constraint network fragments. (3) These 1,373 network fragments were used as topological descriptors for determining information densities of 747 CM ingredients associated with these 1,373 fragments in the Medline database resulting in the generation of a similarity matrix containing 1,373 × 747 information density measurements ( Section: ). (4) Clustering of this similarity matrix using the TIBCO Spotfire platform ( ) , and cosine correlation as similarity measure provided .
