The correlation of disease progression and changes in tissue-infiltrating immune cells. (a) Enrichment scores for 22 tissue-infiltrating immune cell subpopulations on four gene expression datasets based on deconvolution by CIBERSORT. The results are listed in order of disease severity assessment (GSE73661, Mayo endoscopic score (MES): 0-3; GSE48959 and GSE75214, disease activity assessment: normal, inactive UC, active UC; GSE92415, Mayo score: 0-12). (b) A heat map of the Spearman rank correlation coefficient between the proportion of 19 tissue-infiltrating immune cells and disease characteristics on four gene expression datasets. Asterisks denote significant correlations after value corrections ().
