Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Myeloid cell population clustering from E16.5 ChP. ( B ) CellChat visualization of inferred outgoing signals from epithelial, mesenchymal, and endothelial cells to ChP macrophages. ( C ) Incoming vs. outgoing signal strength across populations. ( D ) Heatmap of selected differentially expressed genes from bulk RNA sequencing of sorted P7 stromal vs epiplexus macrophages. ( E ) Representative image of an E14.5 brain sections stained with SPP1. Scale bar = 10 µm. ( F ) UMAP of other myeloid population signatures reflected in the various ChP macrophage populations. ( G ) Schematic of choroid plaque development from E12.5-E16.5. ( H ) Representative image of an E12.5 brain section. Scale bar = 200 µm. Inset: Magnified view of choroid plaque. Scale bar = 50 µm. ( I ) Representative image of an E17.5 and E18.5 brain section showing the residual choroid plaque and underlying macrophages. Scale bar = 250 µm; 25 µm for inset. ( J ) Representative image of a P0 brain section showing the roughly equivalent region following the crossing of the corpus callosum as well as the lateral ventricle and ChP. Scale bar = 250 µm; 25 µm for inset.
