Multiorgan response to cardiac injury in mouse and zebrafish by scRNA-Seq.Experimental outline for mouse (a) or zebrafish (b) heart injury and sampling for scRNA-seq analysis. A scRNA-seq analysis was done per sample, for a total of 28 murine samples (5 tissues, 3 timepoints except for the kidney which were analyzed at 7 and 30 dpi, and 2 conditions, sham and MI. Each sample included cells from one or two biological replicates combined 1:1). 24 zebrafish samples (4 tissues, 3 conditions, and 2 biological replicates) were included. a was created with BioRender. c UMAPs (Uniform manifold approximation and projection) of the 194,315 cells (from 41 mice; 22 sham and 19 MI) colored by timepoint (left), tissue of origin (center) and cell type (right). Dpi, days post infarction. d UMAP of 70,783 zebrafish cells showing treatments timepoints (left), tissue of origin (center) and cell type (right). Dpci, days post cardiac injury; WKM, whole kidney marrow; Ctrl, uninjured. Bar plot of DEGs (MI compared to sham procedure) in mice (e) and zebrafish (f) by tissue and cell type. Bars are colored by timepoint. Genes with FDR < 0.05 and absolute log2(FC) > 0.25 were considered differentially expressed. |
Dynamic cardiac and extracardiac mono/M? subcluster response to myocardial injury in mice.a Dot plot depicting enriched pathways in monocytes at 1, 7, and 30 days post infarction (dpi). b Dot plot shows gene expression in blood monocytes by experimental group (MI or SH) and timepoint. c UMAPs of all 37,215 sequenced mono/M? reclustered, colored by timepoint (left), cluster (center) and tissue of origin (right). d Dot plot shows normalized gene expression (dot color intensity) across all analyzed mono/M? clusters, regardless of tissue, timepoint and sham or MI procedure. Common mono/M? marker genes and MHC-II and TLF (Timd4, Lyve1 and Folr2) genes are indicated. e Dot plot depicting enriched pathways in mono/M? cell subclusters, regardless of tissue of origin, timepoint or sham/MI. f Stacked column plot shows percentage of the 6 murine subclusters (C1-C6) of total mono/M? by condition, timepoint and tissue. In (a) and (e) Dot size represents statistical significance of enrichment, dot color represents z-score. Positive z-score predicts activation of the pathway in the MI compared to the sham group and negative z-score predicts inhibition of the pathway in the MI compared to the sham group. Gray dots denote undetermined activation status. In (b) and (d): Color intensity in dot plots represents normalized mean expression, dot size represents fraction of cells expressing the gene. |
