Fig. 2. Dynamic changes of epithelial cell during development and aging.

Fig. 2

a UMAP plots of epithelial cells (left). Alveolar epithelial type 1 cell (AT1); Alveolar epithelial type 2 cell (AT2); Pulmonary neuroendocrine cell (PNEC). Proportion of epithelial cell subclusters in 5 groups (right). b Dot plots of specific marker genes. c The age-associated changes of transcriptional noise of epithelial cell subclusters. d Gene ontology enrichment analysis of gene set in cluster 4 of AT2 (development) by TCA method. e Gene ontology enrichment analysis of cluster 5 of AT2 (aging). f Gene ontology enrichment analysis of up (top part, red)/down (bottom part, blue)-regulated genes expression in aging AT2. g Gene ontology enrichment analysis of gene expression in cluster 1 of AT1 (development). h Gene ontology enrichment analysis of gene expression in cluster 3 of AT1 (aging). i Gene ontology enrichment analysis of up (top part, red)/down (bottom part, blue)-regulated genes expression in aging AT1. j Relatively expression of FTL in AT2 subcluster in single-cell analysis. k The expression of FTL in AT2 of immunofluorecence staining. l Relatively expression of FTL in AT1. m The expression of FTL in AT1 of immunofluorecence staining. n Relatively expression of EEF1A1 in AT1. o The expression of EEF1A1 in AT1 of immunofluorecence staining. The choice of ANOVA tests was based on the results of Shapiro-Wilk normality test. Dunnett tests were used to inter-group comparison. *p < 0.05, ****p < 0.0001.
