Article Title: Chlamydia trachomatis disrupts host metabolism in primary cervical epithelial cells
doi: 10.1007/s11274-025-04584-4
Figure Lengend Snippet: Temporal gene expression changes of primary cervical epithelial cells upon C. trachomatis infection. A Volcano plot of DEG between C. trachomatis infection vs. uninfected control. Transcriptional changes in primary cervical epithelial cells with C. trachomatis infection 8, 24, and 40 h vs. uninfected control. Up (log 2 FC ≥ 1) and downregulated (log 2 FC ≤ − 1). genes are represented in red and blue, respectively with P adj < 0.05. B Bar plot showing GSEA of MSigDB hallmark signatures during C. trachomatis infection. Bars in red and blue respectively represent up and downregulated pathways within the MSigDB Hallmark gene set collection based on their normalized enrichment score (NES). Only significantly modified pathways with P adj < 0.05 are shown. C GSEA enrichment plots indicate C. trachomatis -associated downregulation of OXPHOS genes
