Extended Data Fig. 6. Vascular and smooth muscle cell types.

Extended Data Fig. 6

(a) Markers dot plot for vascular endothelia. (b) cell2location density scores of pulmonary and vascular endothelium for parenchyma and bronchi Visium ST sections. (c) Bronchi section with H&E and cell2location analysis density score for airway smooth muscle population on a Visium ST slide. (d) NPR2 staining in oesophagus and bronchus from the HPA. Black arrows indicate the airway and oesophagus surrounding non-vascular smooth muscle. (e) ASM marker expression in all GTEx tissues. Tissues are ordered by unsupervised clustering based on expression similarity. The dotted line highlights tissues which are surrounded by a thick smooth muscle layer. The orange rectangle shows muscular tissues from oesophagus, and the blue rectangle shows the non-muscular mucous layer of oesophagus tissue. (f) IR-Ven-peri markers localise at the venous vessels in the airway. smFISH staining for IR-Ven-peri (CCL21, CCL19), venous endothelia (ACKR1) and smooth muscle (ACTA2) markers. (g) Leukocyte rolling and homing genes, and chemokines expressed in Endothelia and SM/Perivascular cells together with their interaction partners expression in immune cell groups. Interaction partners are indicated with blue shades.
