Article Title: Cellular heterogeneity and patterning strategies as revealed by upper respiratory epithelium single cell atlas
doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2025.112845
Figure Lengend Snippet: scRNA-seq of the upper respiratory epithelium reveal compartmental and cellular heterogeneity (A) Schematic illustration of cell isolation and scRNA-seq workflow. (B) Dotplot showing top markers for each cluster. Using default Seurat dotplot settings (Methods), percentage expressed was plotted from 0% to 75% detected and the color bar shows the average of scaled normalized expression values across cells in a given cluster. (C) UMAP plots of integrated upper airway scRNA-Seq data from adult WT B6 mice ( n = 8 biological repeats, 4 male, 4 female). (D and E) Schematic illustration of macro-anatomical regions of the upper airway with compartmental epithelial cell type diversity. (F–J) Feature plots with RNAscope validation of Tmprss11a (pharyngolaryngeal) (H), Nkx2-1 (tracheobronchial) (I), Dmbt1 (seromucous glands) (J) exhibiting pan-epithelial regional markers in coronal sections. (G) H&E-stained upper airway. DAPI is in blue. All images 20× magnification. Scale bar represents 500 μm. H&E, hematoxylin and eosin; AC, arytenoid cartilage; CC, cricoid cartilage; TC, tracheal cartilage; SSE, stratified squamous epithelium; SG, subglottis; SMG, submucosal gland.
