Subpopulation 4a represents the dermal sheath (DS). (A) RNA-FISH co-staining of subpopulation 4a marker DPEP1 with PDGFRA, n = 5. (B) Mesoderm-derived cell types of the hair follicle: DS cells, dermal papilla (DP) cells. Average expression of top 10 DS signature genes (CCDC80, COL11A1, TNMD, LRRC15, COL12A1, FGL2, CD200, FAM101B, SPARC, IGFBP7) (Shin et al., 2020) (C) among all cell types in Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) plot and (D) among fibroblast populations in dot plot. (E) Expression of DS-specific genes COL11A1 and ACAN among all cell types in UMAP plots. (F) Dot plot of the expression of DS marker genes ACTA2 (A) and TAGLN (T) among fibroblast populations. % expr. Percent expressed, expr. average expression, Mel melanocytes, Per pericytes.
