The identification and interactions of decidual cell clusters by single-cell sequencing. (A) The heatmap showing the expression of differential genesin separate cell clusters of normal deciduas. (B) The dot plot reveals the expression of some known markers in each immune cell clusters of normal deciduas. The size of the ball represents percent expressed. The color of the ball represents average expression. (C) The UMAP visualization maps of various immune cell clusters in the normal deciduas by single cell RNA sequencing analysis. The various colors represent different types of cells. (D) The cell-to-cell interaction analysis was conducted by CellPhoneDB. Cell types are presented by nodes and interactions are indicated by arrows. The size of the nodes represents the number of cells contained in each cell type in the deciduas (p-value < 0.01). →, export function; ←, import function. dM, decidual macrophages; dNK, decidual natural killer cells; ILC, innate lymphoid cells; DC, dendritic cells.
