Fig. 7From: Identification of potential therapeutic targets for atherosclerosis by analysing the gene signature related to different immune cells and immune regulators in atheromatous plaquesIdentification of common genes related to plaques in the ImmuneScoreL and ImmuneScoreH clusters. CAPG: actin regulatory protein CAP-G, IGSF6: immunoglobulin superfamily member 6, IL18: interleukin-18, CECR1: cat eye syndrome critical region protein 1, FBP1: fructose-bisphosphatase 1, MMP7: matrix metallopeptidase 7. A Pearson correlation coefficients obtained for the correlations of CAPG, CECR1, IL18, IGSF6, and FBP1 with the relative proportions of M0 macrophages, gamma delta T cells, plasma cells and monocytes in the ImmuneScoreL cluster. B Scatterplot showing the correlations of the relative expression levels of CAPG, CECR1, IL18, IGSF6, and FBP1 to the relative proportions of M0 macrophages, gamma delta T cells, plasma cells and monocytes in the ImmuneScoreL cluster. C Pearson correlation coefficients obtained for the correlations of CAPG and MMP7 with the relative proportion of M0 macrophages, gamma delta T cells, plasma cells and monocytes in the ImmuneScoreH cluster. D Scatterplot showing the correlations of the relative expression levels of CAPG and MMP7 to the relative proportions of M0 macrophages, gamma delta T cells, plasma cells and monocytes in the ImmuneScoreH cluster. E Pearson correlation coefficients obtained for the correlations of CAPG with the relative proportion of M0 macrophages, gamma delta T cells, plasma cells and monocytes in the healthy controls. F Scatterplot showing the correlations of the relative expression levels of CAPG to the relative proportions of M0 macrophages, gamma delta T cells, plasma cells and monocytes in the healthy controls. The grey-shaded areas in the scatterplots represent the standard errors of the regression lines. R: correlation coefficient. The p values of all these genes were < 0.05 except for the correlation of the relative expression levels of CAPG to the relative proportions of gamma delta T cells in FBack to article page
