Figure Lengend Snippet: MCC expression in podocytes in mouse and human. (A) MCC mRNA was detected in 18 out the 20 mouse podocytes subjected to single-cell RNA-seq analysis (GEO: GSE88814). (B) MCC expression in mouse podocytes, mesangial cells and glomerular endothelial cells from the bulk sequencing of mouse glomerular cells (GEO: GSE123179). (C) MCC expression in glomerular cell types according to the database, KIT ( http://humphreyslab.com/SingleCell/ ). (D) Immunohistochemical staining of MCC in a mouse glomerulus, showing a staining pattern characteristic of podocytes. (E) MCC expression in human glomerular cell types, podocytes (Pod), mesangial cells (MC) and endothelial cells (EC) according to the KIT database above. (F) The immunohistochemical staining of MCC from the Human Protein Atlas ( www.proteinatlas.org ) shows that MCC expression is relatively specific to podocytes. (G) Fluorescence co-immunostaining of MCC and SYNPO in mouse kidney, showing the localization of MCC in foot processes of podocytes.
Article Snippet: Consistently, from the Human Protein Atlas ( www.proteinatlas.org ), MCC was found mainly expressed in podocytes as shown by the immunohistochemical staining pattern characteristic of podocytes along the periphery of glomerular tuft ( ).
