Linear regression to examine the relationship between cell types, biological processes and inflammatory cytokines. (A) Linear regression analysis showing the relationship between GSVA scores for glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation or oxidative stress and individual cell types (pDCs, monocyte/myeloid, B cells, T cells and NK cells) for FDAPBMC1 (EA, upper panels) and GSE81622 (AsA, lower panels). In (B), GSVA enrichment scores for the indicated cellular processes were generated for purified CD14+ monocytes from EA and AsA SLE patients (GSE164457). Using GSE164457, linear regression was used to examine the relationship between cellular processes and SLEDAI (C), anti-dsDNA titers in active patients (SLEDAI ≥ 6) (D) and GSVA scores for IFNA2 (E). Categories with linear regression p values < 0.05 are in bold; R2 predictive values are listed after the GSVA enrichment category. *Asterisks indicate significant relationship between functional categories. N.s., not significant.
