Loss of CDK6 deregulates major cellular processes, including metabolic pathways and cytokine signaling in CD8+ T cells. (A) Splenic CD3+CD8+ T cells were sorted ex vivo from WT, Cdk6- /- and Cdk6 K43M mice and lysed for RNA-sequencing. Three biological replicates (each pooled from two mice) were prepared per genotype. (B) The heatmap depicts genes significantly deregulated (FDR < 0.05, >1.25x fold change) in Cdk6- /- vs. WT and Cdk6 K43M vs. WT CD8+ T cells. (C, D) Pathway analysis was performed using the Reactome Pathway tool with genes that were significantly upregulated (C) or downregulated (D) in Cdk6- /- compared to WT CD8+ T cells. Significant pathways (FDR<0.05) are ranked by fold enrichment. Bar graphs show the top 20 upregulated non-redundant Reactome pathways in (C), while all downregulated significant non-redundant pathways are depicted in (D).
