From: BCL-2 expression promotes immunosuppression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia by enhancing regulatory T cell differentiation and cytotoxic T cell exhaustion

Fig. 3

BCL-2 expression in CD8+ T cells is related to increased exhaustion of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. (a) The Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) plot of single cells obtained from six patients, representing 16 distinct clusters; cluster 8 stands for CD8+ T cells. Each dot corresponds to a single cell colored according to the cell clusters. (b) A volcano plot of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) compared between BCL2-positive and -negative CD8+ T cells. Each colored dot denotes an individual gene with an adjusted p value < 0.05. (c) Heatmap of DEGs compared between BCL2-positive and BCL2-negative CD8+ T cells. (d) GO enrichment analysis of DEGs. (e) Bar plot of different linages of BCL2-positive and -negative CD8+ T cells. (f) Dot plot of gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) enriched in lineages of CD8+ T cells. (g) and (h) GSEA using transcription factor target (TFT) and customized gene sets
