In addition to the 3 subpopulations of VICs, which included cluster 7 (FOS, COL1A1, COL3A1), cluster 10 (HSPA6, COL1A1, COL3A1), and cluster 13 (COL1A1, COL3A1, SPARC), we identified the following monocytic cell cluster:cluster 5 (CXCL1, CXCL3, PTX3); VECs:cluster 11 (SELE, IL1RL1, SER, PINE1) and cluster 12 (SELE, SER_x005f_x005f_x005f_x0002_PINE1, PI3); macrophages; cluster 9 (CCL3L1, CXCL5, CCL4); lymphocytes; IIC in the Data Supplement). As the top 5 potential marker genes failed to demonstrate significant specificity, the most expressed gene in each cluster was selected as a potential marker for identifying these notable cell populations (LUM for cluster 1, SOX4 for cluster 2, CCL20 for cluster 3, MT1A for Cluster 4, RPL17 for cluster 6, CMSS1 for cluster 8 |
