Associating receptor mRNA / protein abundance with transcriptional response. The quantile-normalized transcriptomes per cell type (level 3 data) will be used to determine whether the cognate receptor for each ligand is present.

Below is an overview of all potential cognate receptors per ligand present in the data. The left figure shows which ligands (dark purple) each receptor is known to interact with. On the right is a heatmap showing mean normalized gene expression per cell type for each receptor gene, with darker indicating higher expression. Gene names (rows) are ordered by heirarchical clustering of ligand-receptor interaction data, such that receptors common to the same ligand should be together. Landmark gene expression was emperically determined rather than inferred (names indicated in bold). Ligand names (columns, left) are ordered by heirarchical clustering of ligand-receptor interaction data, such that ligands sharing the same receptors should be proximal. Cell type names (columns, right) are ordered by heirarchical clustering of mean receptor gene expression.

RF accuracy explained by receptor availability?

Cognate receptor expression for each ligand was compared to the accuracy per cell line of the leave-one-out ligand classification model outlined previously. Lines for each receptor are coloured by the spearman correlation coefficient between expression and accuracy per cell type (purple is negative, green is positive), and the three most correlated receptor genes are labeled.

Number of DE genes explained by receptor availability?

Cognate receptor expression for each ligand was compared to probability scores for the number of differentially expressed genes associated with each ligand-treated cell line outlined previously. Lines for each receptor are coloured by the spearman correlation coefficient between expression and DE score per cell type (purple is negative, green is positive), and the three most correlated receptor genes are labeled.
