Figure 3. ERα/β-agonist treatment reverts HFD-induced transcriptional changes by affecting central cellular pathways and liver cell types.

Figure 3

(A) Network connects major Reactome pathway clusters (numbered nodes). Colored bars inside each node present pathway cluster enrichment for CDm and ER-agonist-treated HFDm compared to HFDm (normalized enrichment score, NES). Edges connect positively-correlated (green) or negatively-correlated (black) nodes based on NES profiles. (B) UMAP space-projected enrichment plots highlight liver cell types with enhanced signal for the gene sets (defined in Fig. 2B). Hepatocyte nuclear fraction (snRNA-seq) is labeled. (C) Spatial transcriptomics maps show liver zonation patters of the gene sets (defined in Fig. 2B). (D) Bubble plots display activity scores of altered pathway clusters (A) across all liver cell types in control (left), HFD (middle) male mice and their differences (right). Color-code and circle diameter for enrichment score: low (yellow, narrow), high (black, wide). Arrows and enrichment change indicate higher abundance in control (red) and HFD (blue) mice.
