Figure Legend Snippet: Glutamate reprogram keloid fibroblasts transcripts. (A) Volcano plot show DEGs in HKF cells upon 100 μM glutamate stimulate for 24 h. (B,C) GO enrichment of DEGs (B) with bubble size representing the number of genes in each term and color indicating the adjusted q value, and KEGG enrichment of DEGs showing the top enriched signaling pathways related to cytokine and immune responses (C) . (D) Barplot of GSEA enrichment of DEGs, resented as normalized enrichment scores (NES); bars to the right indicate pathways positively enriched in GLU compared with PBS. (E,F) GSEA enrichment of cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction (E) and TGF beta signaling pathway (F) .
Techniques Used: Protein-Protein interactions
Figure Legend Snippet: Glutamate promotes inflammatory responses in keloid fibroblasts. (A–C) Volcano plot show DEGs that associated to cytokine activity pathway (A) , extracellular space pathway (B) , and inflammatory response pathway (C) in HKF cells upon 100 μM glutamate stimulate for 24 h. (D–F) Volcano plot and heatmap show DEGs that associated to TNF signaling pathway (D) , IL-17 signaling pathway (E) , and calcium signaling pathway (F) in HKF cells upon 100 μM glutamate stimulate for 24 h. (G) FPKM of inflammatory genes (CXCL8, CXCL3, CXCL2, IL11, IL6) of RNA-seq in keloid and normal tissues in HKF cells upon 100 μM glutamate stimulate for 24 h. (H) RT-PCR of inflammatory genes in HKF cells upon 10 μM or 100 μM glutamate stimulate for 24 h. (I) ELISA of IL-6 andIL-11 in HKF cells upon 10 μM or 100 μM glutamate stimulate for 24 h p-values were determined by one-way ANOVA: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
Techniques Used: Activity Assay, RNA Sequencing, Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay
