Time-resolved transcriptomic analysis of HSC activation. (A) Log2FC for all expressed genes in WD, CCl4, and IVT experiments relative to controls (log2CPM >2). Induced and repressed genes (FDR ≤0.05), shown in red and blue, respectively. Gene numbers are indicated. (B) Distance plot and k-means clustering of all samples of the three experiments based on genes differentially expressed (FDR ≤0.01) between HSCs from 24w WD- and chow-fed mice. (C) 870 common genes induced ≥4-fold (FDR <0.05), between any two time points in all three experiments, or repressed ≥4-fold (FDR  <0.05). (D) Common genes clustered by profiles of variance-stabilized, scaled exon counts through WD and CCl4 experiments. Gene counts and mean aggregate profiles are shown (bold line). Pearson’s correlation coefficient of mean aggregate profiles are shown for cluster pairs. Middle panel bean plots show normalized log2(RPKM) values and medians for each WD cluster. Dashed lines show average log2(RPKM) values across time course. (RPKM: Reads Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads). (E) Exon counts for 360 genes in WD clusters 1–7, which are shared with corresponding CCl4 clusters. Number of shared genes in each cluster pair, percent of parent WD cluster, and cluster numbers (circles) are shown. (F) Enriched (green; FDR ≤0.01) go-slim categories and -log10(FDR) values for each WD cluster. Common genes expressed at RPKM ≥10 at any time point in the three experiments are included in the go-analysis. Density strip plots show distributions and median log2FC values (24w WD vs. chow) for genes of enriched go-slim categories within respective clusters. All values are averages of 3–4 biological replicates.
