Fig. 2. CR in humans reveals anti-aging immunometabolic checkpoints.
(A) Volcano plots depicting the results of differential gene expression analysis of
adipose tissue. Each dot represents a gene. Top 18 significantly up- or down-
regulated genes at 1 year (left) or 2 years (right) of CR compared with baseline
(n= 8). (B) Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of genes up- and down-regulated
after 2 years of CR in a signature describing differences between active and
nonactive twins (GSE20536). (C) Selected pathways significantly (FDR, 5%)
regulated by 2 years of CR based on GSEA. Red and blue bars indicate pathways
up- and down-regulated by CR, respectively. Letters correspond to the source of
pathway gene set. K, KEGG; R, Reactome; B, BioCarta. (D) Enrichment curves for
selected significantly regulated pathways.y-axis denotes rank of the gene in
list ordered by log2FC. (E) Changes in the expression level of FMO-2 after CR. Adjusted
Pvalues (padj) were calculated in the differential gene expression analysis. (F) Box
plots showing estimated macrophage fractions after deconvolution of adipose
transcriptome in adipose tissue at baseline and 1 and 2 years after CR.Pvalues
were calculated using the pairedttest. (G) Expression of genes specific to adipose
tissueÐresident macrophages shown at baseline and 1 and 2 years after CR. NES
corresponds to the normalized enrichment score.
