Fig. 7. Single-cell transcriptional analysis reveals the cell-cell crosstalk network in FHP.
A Ligand activity prediction by NicheNet showing the top 20 ligands best predicting the entire DEGs in epithelial cells between FHP and control lungs. B The bubble plot showing expression patterns of the predicted ligands on macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, T cells, NK cells and monocytes. C Ligand–target matrix displaying the regulatory potential of predicted ligands on target genes from the epithelial cells in FHP lungs. D The top 20 ligands best predicting the entire DEGs in fibroblasts between FHP and normal lungs. E The bubble plot showing expression patterns of the predicted ligands on epithelial cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, T cells, NK cells, and monocytes. C Ligand–target matrix displaying the regulatory potential of predicted ligands on target genes from the fibroblasts in FHP lungs. G Schematic showing the inferred cell-cell interaction network during FHP.
