Fig. 4: Transcriptomic difference of T cells between TDL and glioma and reclustering of T cells in TDL.

a Volcano plot of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that are upregulated (red) or downregulated (blue) in T cells of TDL by comparing to T cells of glioma. b UMAP plot of T cells from TDL after reclustering revealed 6 subclusters (C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5). c Violin plots showing the specific expression distribution of selected genes related to T-cell subclusters. d Dotplot showing the characteristics of T-cell subclusters. e Dotplot of GO analysis (biological process) based on top 20 markers in C2. f Dotplot of GO analysis (biological process) based on top 20 markers in C5. g The pseudotime trajectory predicted by Monocle 3 and displayed by UMAP plot. Cells were ordered and colored by pseudotime in a gradient from purple to yellow. h The dynamic changes of expression level of selected genes along with pseudotime progression.
