Extended Data Fig. 13. Single-cell transcriptomics of LECs of the nasopharynx in adult mice.

Extended Data Fig. 13

a, UMAP plot visualizing five subclusters of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) in the nasopharyngeal mucosa of adult (10-12 weeks old) mice. Pentraxin-3 (Ptx3), Ptx3 capillary LECs (Ptx3 Cap), Ptx3+ capillary LECs (Ptx3+ Cap), pre-collecting LECs (Pre-col), upstream valve LECs (up-valve), downstream valve LECs (down-valve). Total number of LECs analysed = 842. b, Heatmap showing differential expression of genes for the five subclusters of LECs. c, Violin plots comparing the expression of ten representative genes in the five sub-clusters. Little difference was found in Cdh5 or Prox1 among the subclusters, but Ptx3, Stab2, Foxp2, LYVE1, Cldn11, and Gja4 had prominent cluster-related differences.
