WTAP marks a fibroblast pseudotime shift from metabolic homeostasis to adhesion/migration and ECM remodeling. (A) Reclustering of fibroblasts into subclusters F1–F4. (B) Pseudotime projection of fibroblast differentiation trajectories. (C) Trajectory inference illustrating F1–F4 transition path. (D) Violin plots of WTAP expression and phenotypic-switching scores across subclusters. (E) Representative pathways (respiration, growth-factor response, phenotypic switching) mapped along pseudotime. (F) Segmented pseudotime heatmaps and GO enrichment of dynamic modules. (G) Correlation of WTAP with metabolic and adhesion-related terms. (H) Pseudotime expression dynamics of WTAP, JUN/JUNB, SDHC, PPP1R15A, and TSPO. (I) Correlation bubble plot showing WTAP association with transcriptional and metabolic regulators
