Figure 6.

Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) and vascular calcification were increased in Tie2 (Tek receptor tyrosine kinase)-cre–mediated ECs-specific microRNA-126 (miR-126) knockout (miR-126-ecKO) embryos. A, Five subclusters were obtained by further clustering of EndoMT (cluster 10 in Figure 6A). Colors denote different subclusters or mice line. B, Fractions of EndoMT from miR-126-ecKO or miR-126fl/fl in each subcluster. C, Gene Ontology biological function analysis of differentially expressed genes in cluster 3. D, Feather plot of representative genes in chondrogenesis and endothelial-to-mesenchymal which were enriched in cluster 3. E, Double immunofluorescent staining of COL1A1 (alpha-1 type I collagen) and PECAM1 (platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1) proteins in embryonic hepatic tissue to identify the EndMT (Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition). F, Alizarin Red S Staining to identify the calcium in the adult’s brain and lung slides. Scale bar=100 µm. DAPI indicates 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole.
