Figure 2. Identification and classification of DEGs in SAMHD1-deficient THP-1 cells. (A) RNA-seq MAplot of wild-type versus SAMHD1 knockout cells as indicated. Three biological replicates were analyzed for both data sets. Average gene expression is plotted on the x-axis and log2 fold-change is plotted on the y-axis; red dots: upregulated genes (log2 FC ≥ 1 and adjusted p-values < 0.01), green dots: downregulated genes (log2 FC ≤ −1 and adjusted p-values < 0.01), blue dots: ISGs. (B) Statistically significant signaling pathways for genes upregulated by over 2-fold in SAMHD1 knockout samples were obtained by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Blue bars indicate the ratio of the total number of genes involved in the specific pathway versus input list genes, while the orange squares show −log (p-value). (C) Heatmap of ISGs expressed in the indicated cells with the RNA-seq data. Gene expression levels (averaged reads per kilobase per million mapped reads (RPKM) values over 3 replicates) was standardized and clustered based on the dissimilarity values (1-Pearson correlation) between genes using the average linkage method as shown in the dendrogram. (D) The mRNA levels of ISGs in wild-type and SAMHD1-deficient THP-1 cells were determined by qRT-PCR. Data were normalized to the GAPDH level. Data represent the mean ± SEM of triplicate independent experiments (*p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001, two-tailed Student’s t-test).
