Multicellular disease models (MCDMs) from a mouse model of AIA. MCDMs were constructed based on scRNA-seq data by connecting differentially expressed genes in each cell type with predicted upstream regulators in all other cell types. Cell type size corresponds to centrality score. Numbers indicated by the nodes denote the number of identified cells of specific type (for example in RA joint, we have identified 4258 granulocytes). a An MCDM of lymph nodes from arthritic mice. b An MCDM from arthritic joints. c Multicellular model of a healthy mouse joint (lymph node model is not shown because there was only one predicted interaction). Gene names of predicted upstream regulators are indicated on arrows. Treg, T regulatory cells. d Correlation between centrality score of cell types and enrichment of genes harboring genetic variants identified by GWAS and expert curated repositories among differentially expressed genes (the genes were derived from DisGeNet and the analysis based on the mouse orthologues of the human genes)
