Article Title: Single‐cell transcriptional profiling of human carotid plaques reveals a subpopulation of endothelial cells associated with stroke incidences
doi: 10.1111/jcmm.17354
Figure Lengend Snippet: AOC3 is related to plaque haemorrhage and plaque stability. (A) Venn plot showing the overlapping relationships of up‐regulated genes about cell adhesion in ASYM, stable and non‐IPH group. (B) Violin plots of AOC3 expression in all three EC subpopulations. (C) The AOC3 expression in stable plaques ( n = 4) and unstable plaques ( n = 4). (D) The AOC3 expression in non‐IPH ( n = 16) and IPH ( n = 27) group. (E) Gene ontology enrichment analysis of KEGG pathway with up‐regulated genes in EC 2 subcluster of ASYM group. (F) A protein interaction network was constructed using all differentially expressed genes in the EC 2 subcluster. Red colour represents up‐regulated genes, and green colour represents down‐regulated genes. ASYM, asymptomatic carotid artery plaque; EC, endothelial cells; IPH, intraplaque haemorrhage
Article Snippet: After antigen retrieval with citrate buffer (P0088, Beyotime), the sections were incubated with an anti‐human AOC3 antibody (1:200, 14365‐1‐AP, Proteintech) or a rabbit IgG control at 4°C overnight followed by incubation with an HRP‐conjugated secondary antibody (1 μg/ml, GK500705, Genetech) for 30 min.
