“…And 6 categories of IPF-related cell types were identified, including Monocyte (cluster 0, 5,7,10, 13, 15, 16), Tissue_stem_cells (cluster 1, 6), Endothelial_cells (cluster 2, 9), Fibroblasts (cluster 3, 14), Macrophage (cluster 4, 8, 17), Epithelial_cells (cluster11, 12) (Figures 7G, H, I). As for LUADassociated cells, we annotated them into 4 categories, including Epithelial_cells (cluster 0, 1, 3,4,6,11,13,18,19,20,22,23,24), Tissue_stem_cells (cluster 2, 9, 10, 12), Macrophage (cluster 5,7,8,14,15,16,17,21,25), and Endothelial_cells (cluster 26) (Figures 7P, Q, R). In the study, we referenced 13 cell types for marker genes, including Cancer stem cells (PROM1, CD34, and CD90), Monocyte (CD14), M1 macrophages (CD16, FCGR3B, and FCGR1A), M2 macrophages (MSR1, CD163, MRC1, and CSF1R), CD8+ T cells (GZMK, CD8A, and CD8B), CD4+ memory cells (IL7R, CD27, and CCR7), B cells (CD79A and CD37), Regulatory T cells (LAG3, ITGA2, FOXP3, HELIOS, and NRP1), NK cells (CD160, NKG7, GNLY, CD247, CCL3, and GZMB), Fibroblasts (FGF7 and MME), Endothelial cells (PECAM1 and VWF), Neurons (ENO2), and Epithelial_cells (cD24, CDH1, and CLDN4).…”
