主 题:Epicardial cells Gene markers Single-cell sequencing Spatial transcriptomics
摘 要:Tbx18,Wt1,and Tcf21 have been identified as epicardial markers during the early embryonic ***,the gene markers of mature epicardial cells remain ***-cell transcriptomic analysis was performed with the Seurat,Monocle,and CellphoneDB packages in R software with standard *** transcriptomics was performed on chilled Visium Tissue Optimization Slides(10x Genomics)and Visium Spatial Gene Expression Slides(10x Genomics).Spatial transcriptomics analysis was performed with Space Ranger software and R ***,whole-mount RNA in situ hybridization and X-gal staining were performed to validate the analysis *** transcriptomics analysis revealed distinct transcriptional profiles and functions between epicardial tissue and non-epicardial *** gene markers specific to postnatal epicardial tissue were identified,including Msln,C3,Efemp1,and ***-cell transcriptomic analysis revealed that cardiac cells from wildtype mouse hearts(from embryonic day 9.5 to postnatal day 9)could be categorized into six major cell types,which included epicardial *** epicardial development,Wt1,Tbx18,and Upk3b were consistently expressed,whereas genes including Msln,C3,and Efemp1 exhibited increased expression during the mature stages of *** analysis further revealed two epicardial cell fates during ***,Upk3b,Msln,Efemp1,and C3 positive epicardial cells were enriched in extracellular matrix *** results suggested Upk3b,Efemp1,Msln,C3,and other genes were mature epicardium *** matrix signaling was found to play a critical role in the mature epicardium,thus suggesting potential therapeutic targets for heart regeneration in future clinical practice.
