Figure 2. Expression of at least one CMF gene is seen in ~59% of cardiac ECs.

(A): Analysis of mouse heart and lung single cell data from Tabula Muris in Schaum, et al (Nature, 2018). Fifteen cardiac myofibrillar (CMF) genes were chosen based on high, unique expression in the cardiomyocyte cell subsets. Positive expression was determined as a normalized count (ln(1+Counts-per-million)) greater than or equal to one. (B): Percentage of cardiomyocytes vs endothelial cells or fibroblasts within the heart and lung that express 1–15 of the selected CMF genes. (C–E). Analysis of unspliced vs spliced transcripts in Tabula Muris data. Data shown are merged counts for all cells within the cardiomyocyte (CM), endothelial cell (EC), or fibroblast (FB) cell subsets, as annotated in Tabula Muris. Shown are CMF genes with a unspliced percentage >= 1% in cardiomyocytes. Marker genes for cell-subsets are shown in Supplementary file 1, and unspliced/total ratios can be found in Supplementary file 2 (C) Overall expression shown as log₂(1+CPM) for selected CMF genes (D) Unspliced/total fraction for selected CMF genes in cardiomyocyte, endothelial cells or fibroblast cell subsets within the heart. (E) Genome track for aligned Tabula Muris RNA-Seq data for cardiomyocyte, cardiac EC, lung EC or cardiac fibroblast populations. In upper panel is the full track for CMF gene Myom2, with inset showing a regions with intronic reads specific to cardiac ECs.
