Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Repartition of cells in each cluster as a fraction of total cells from young or aged VAT from males ( top ) and females ( bottom ). (B) Schematic depicting the flow cytometry gating strategy used to define clusters 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, and 13 identified via single cell RNA-sequencing of resident F4/80 + CD11b + (CD45 + CD45.2iv − CD3 − CD19 − ) cells from the visceral white adipose tissue (VAT). Fluorescence minus one (FMO) control(s) were included for the following cell surface markers: CD11b, CD169, CD11c, CD226, CD9, CD163, FOLR2, and CD38. Abbreviations for each population and defining cell surface markers are as follows: Nerve-associated-macrophages (NAM, C5): CD169 + CD11c − , Myeloid Precursors-1 (MP-1, C13): CD169 + CD11c + , Vessel-associated Macrophages (VAM, C0): CD38 + FOLR2 + CD11c − CD38 + , Age-associated Macrophages (AAM, C4): CD38 + FOLR2 − CD169 − CD11c − , Lipid-associated Macrophages (LAM, C10): CD9 + CD11c + CD226 − CD163 − CD169 − , Adipose Tissue Macrophages-1 (ATM-1, C3): CD226 + CD11c + CD163 − CD169 − , Dendritic Cells-1 (DC-1, C6): CD163 + CD226 + CD11c + CD163 + CD169 − . (C) Quantification of cells from clusters 5, 13, 0, 4, 10, 3, and 6 as a fraction of live CD45+ cells per gram of visceral white adipose tissue (VAT). Data is displayed as the mean +/− SEM and is representative of one independent experiment from 3-month (n=4) and 21-month-old (n=5) females. Statistical significance was determined via Student’s two-tailed t-test with α=0.05 and *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01, n.s. = not significant.
