Fig. 4. ALF induces intestinal stem cell cycle arrest and goblet cell activation.
a UMAP plot of four intestinal stem cell clusters. b Dot plot of the top four marker genes of the intestinal stem cell clusters. c Percentages of intestinal stem cell clusters. Means ± SD, two-way ANOVA. d UMAP plot colored by cell cycle phase based on the results of Scran analysis. e Percentages of intestinal stem cell cycles. Means ± SD, two-way ANOVA. f Venn diagram of ALF_DEGs drawn for each intestinal stem cell cluster. g GO term enrichment analysis for ALF_DEGs of each intestinal stem cell cluster. h Expression of genes related to mitosis in S2 between the control and model mice. i Top five terms in the GO term enrichment analysis for the ALF_DEGs in intestinal stem cells. j UMAP plot of specific IECs. k Violin plots showing key cell markers used to describe goblet cells, EECs, Paneth cells and tuft cells and link them to cell type. l Dot plot of the top two marker genes of specific IECs clusters. m Percentages of specific IECs clusters. Means ± SD, two-way ANOVA. n, o Volcano plot and top five terms in the GO term enrichment analysis for ALF_DEGs in goblet cells. p, q Clustered heatmap of the average expression of the top 100 ALF_DEGs in specific IECs/goblet cells. r Heatmap drawn for TFs specifically activated in specific IECs clusters. Number of mice: model group (n = 3), control group (n = 3).
