Figure Lengend Snippet: Single-cell resolution reveals the expression of hub mitochondrial-related genes (Mito-RGs) and the immune landscape in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). (A) Uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) plot presenting distinct cell clusters identified from single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA- seq ) data. (B) UMAP plot displaying the distribution of cells across different individual samples, including GDM and control groups. (C) UMAP plot comparing cell distributions between GDM and control groups. (D) Bubble plot highlighting the top five marker genes for each cell cluster, aiding in the identification of major cell types. (E) UMAP plot with annotated cell types, including tissue stem cells, epithelial cells, macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils, natural killer (NK) cells, B cells, endothelial cells, myelocytes, and common myeloid progenitors (CMPs). (F) Bar plot illustrating the proportions of different identified cell types in each sample. (G) Bar plot comparing the proportions of major cell types between the GDM and control groups. (H) Feature plots depicting the expression patterns of hub Mito-RG (DHRS2, STX17, and TIMM44) in specific cell clusters. (I) Feature plot showing the distribution of Mito-RGs scores across various cell subpopulations, reflecting their enrichment in particular immune and stromal cell types.
