Fig. 1. “SenMayo-hi” cells detected in the mouse retina mainly correspond with retinal glial cells.

Fig. 1

a UMAP plot of murine retina samples collected from 3-, 12-, and 24-month-old mice representing an ageing series. Cells detected include neurons such as Rods, Cones, Retinal Ganglion Cells (RGCs), Bipolar cells (BCs), Amacrine Cells (ACs), Horizontal cells (HCs), glia including Mueller Glia (MG), Astrocytes (Asc) and Microglia (Mic), Endothelial cell, Pericytes (ECs & Pericytes) and retinal blood cells (Ret blood). b Density plot showing the cell type distribution of SenMayo gene panel enrichment scores obtained using the escape package. Mic cells score the highest. c UMAP highlighting the SenMayo-hi cells, which correspond to Mac, Mic, Asc and Endothelial cells. d Percentage of SenMayo-hi cells per cell type. e SenMayo-hi cells also score high for GenAge and CellAge. Inset- Violin plot shows the upregulation of Tgfb2 gene expression in SenMayo-hi cells in the mouse retina. f Chord diagram representing ligand-receptor (L-R) signalling pathways in the mouse retina, that includes signalling both from and to the SenMayo-hi cells. These cells mainly interact with themselves, suggesting a strong signalling network within this category.
