Figure Lengend Snippet: Integrated object. FeaturePlot. Each cluster is denoted by color. Cluster 0 (Salmon) primarily contains cells expressing fibroblast markers and genes responsible for cell cycle regulation. Cluster 1 (Khaki) encompasses cells expressing preadipocyte-specific genes, such as CEBPB , PPARγ, CD36 and markers of mature adipocytes ( ADIPOQ , Perilipin1 , Perilipin4 ). In Cluster 2 (green), cells predominantly express genes related to mitosis. Cluster 3 (Blue) contains cells of interest with high level of T-cadherin expression, as well as classical MSC markers ( CD90 , PDGFR ), Wnt signaling genes , and DPP4 . In a separate remote Cluster 4 (Magenta), besides CDH13 , cells express Nestin , a marker of neural crest cells, and CD36 , a marker of adipocyte progenitors.
Article Snippet: Cells were detached from culture dishes using HyQTase Detachment Reagent (HyClone, GE Healthcare Life Sciences, United States) and stained with appropriate combinations of primary antibodies against: DPP4 (CD26 Antibody (MA2607), ThermoFisher Scientific, dilution 1:100), T-cadherin (ProSci, United States, #3583, dilution 1:100).
