今天尝试复现两种常见实验图表——细胞生长曲线与肿瘤生长曲线。在R中,我们可以通过ggplot2绘制带误差棒的折线图+散点图来实现我们的可视化需求。在绘制生长曲线图中,需要注意以下几点:


1、横轴通常表示时间,可以是天、周、月等时间单位,也可能是给药浓度/剂量等。


2、肿瘤生长曲线纵轴表示肿瘤的体积、质量或大小,细胞生长曲线纵轴表示细胞的相对数量,不同的实验方法标注截然不同。


3、每个组别的生长曲线通常会以不同的线条或颜色表示,如果组别较多,加之需要添加error bar,组别的颜色需要仔细选择以便区分。


A、细胞生长曲线


细胞生长曲线是测定细胞绝对生长数的常用方法,也是判定细胞活力的重要指标,它以培养时间为横坐标,细胞密度为纵坐标。这里复现nature cancer上面一篇文章的Fig2e:


Network-based assessment of HDAC6 activity predicts preclinical and clinical responses to the HDAC6 inhibitor ricolinostat in breast cancer.Nat Cancer.2023 Feb;2022 Dec 30.PMID:36585452.

Growth curves of sensitive(S)vs resistant(R)BC cells treated with four different HDAC6 inhibitors(n=3 independent experiments/per drug concentration).All error bars represent Mean±SD.P value was estimated by two-tailed t test.

B、肿瘤生长曲线


肿瘤生长曲线图是一种用于描述肿瘤体积、质量或大小随时间变化的图表。这种图表通常用于研究肿瘤在不同治疗条件下的生长情况,或者用于比较不同肿瘤类型之间的生长速率。同样复现nature cancer上面一篇文章的Fig2a:
