Fig. 3. EC-BMSC heterotypic doublets are the predominant source of ECs expressing mesenchymal markers in scRNA-seq analysis.
a, b Bar graph (a) and violin plots (b) showing the doublet ratios, nUMI, nGene, and log10(GenesPerUMI) among the EC subclusters. c, d Flow cytometry analysis illustrating the gating strategy (c) and quantification (d) of Tomato+ cells, Tomato+CD31+ cells, Tomato+CD31+CDH5+TIE2+ cells, and the doublet ratios of these cell populations in the live, Lin−CD45− bone marrow cells of Prrx1-Cre;R26T (n = 3 biologically independent animals) and Lepr-Cre;R26T (n = 3 biologically independent animals) mice. Data represent the mean ± S.E.M. Statistical significance was determined by two-tailed Wilcox rank-sum test (b), two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test or one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s test (d).
