Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A-M ) scRNA-seq violin plots for Cdkn1a (A), Igfbp2 (E), Trp63 (H), and Krt17 (K) in the novel (19) and basal (3/5) keratinocyte clusters. Corresponding α-CDKN1A (B-C), α-IGFBP2 (F-G), α-TRP63 (I-J), and α-KRT17 (L-M) immunofluorescence from E15.5 (B, C, F, G, I, J) or E17.5 (L, M) CTRL (B, F, I, L) or Prmt5 cKO (C, G, J, M) embryos. Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) reveals a suggestive (FC=1.74, p_ adj=0.51) locus specific increase in chromatin accessibility at the Cdkn1a promoter (D). ( N ) A schematic summarizing the normal progression of keratinocytes in CTRL (top) and atypical progression in Prmt5 cKOs (bottom), including the molecular features involved. Sections shown are the craniofacial epidermis, lateral to the oral cavity, in a coronal plane. White dashed lines demarcate the boundary of the dermis and epidermis. Nuclei are counterstained with DAPI. All section immunofluorescence images are Z-stacks compiled with ‘Max Intensity’ in FIJI. Scale bar = 10 µm.
