vRGs, tRGs and oRGs coexist in the human cortex at GW17-GW18. A scRNA-Seq analysis of 33,976 cortical cells from the mid-gestation human brain (GW17-GW18) [36]. B, C Expression patterns of PDGFD (vRG and tRG marker), HOPX, FAM107A, LIFR, ALDOC, AQP4, BCAN, GFAP and TNC indicated the coexistence of cortical vRGs, tRGs and oRGs. D EGFR, ASCL1, ANXA1, CRYAB and CXCL12 were expressed in tRGs but not in oRGs or vRGs. Note that EGFR was weakly expressed in a subpopulation of PyN-IPCs, and ASCL1 was expressed (indicated by arrows) in a subpopulation of PyN-IPCs, maturing PyNs, and MGE- and CGE-derived cortical interneurons, and MGE-derived OPCs. E ACSBG1 and FBN2 were expressed in oRGs but not in tRGs. F Wide expression of PyN-IPC marker genes (PAX6, NEUROG2 and EOMES) indicating activated PyN genesis. G Except MGE-derived OPCs, cortex-derived OPC or APC clusters were not identified, suggesting that gliogenesis had not commenced yet in the human cortex at GW17-GW18.
