Nkx2-5 institutes a unidirectional fate in CPCs to cardiomyocytes. a Re-analysis of published data showing the ratio of smooth muscle cells in embryonic hearts of wild type and Nkx2-5 knockout embryos at E9.5. Smooth muscle cells are scored by low expression of Nkx2-5 (LogTPM < 1, null expression) and high expression of smooth muscle cell genes (Tagln, Cnn1, Acta2, Cald1, Mylk, Hexim1, and Smtnl2 moderate to high (LogTPM > 2) for at least 5 of these 7 genes). χ2 test: p < 2.37e−6. n indicates cells numbers. b Schematic illustration of forced expression of Nkx2-5 in Isl1+ cells and scRNA-seq. c Predicted diffusion pseudotime of Isl1+/Nkx2-5OE cells projected on t-SNE plots of Nkx2-5+ and Isl1+ d CPCs
