Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) UMAP plot showing annotated cell clusters. Major cell types are labeled and color-coded, including epithelial, immune, endothelial, and stromal populations. MMP expression was determined in 32 different cell types. ( B ) UMAP plots showing the expression of selected MMP genes (MMP10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28) in single cells from mouse lung tissue (filtered air group, n = 9). Expression is color-coded by log-normalized expression levels, with darker shades indicating higher expression. ( C – E ) qRT-PCR data showing mRNA expression levels of Mmp1a, Mmp1b, Mmp2, Mmp3, Mmp9, Mmp12, Mmp13, Mmp14, and Mmp19 in pmLF, IMΦ or AMΦ (WT and Trpml1 −/− ). ( F ) qRT-PCR data showing mRNA expression levels of Timp1, Timp2, Timp3, Timp4 in pmLF and IMΦ (WT and Trpml1 −/− ). In all figures, each single dot corresponds to one biologically independent sample. Data were mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis for qRT-PCR data were performed with multiple t -test, corrected for multiple comparisons using the Holm–Šídák method. ( G – J ) Western Blot analysis of different MMPs in pmLF isolated from WT and Trpml1 −/− mice. Graphs show quantification of each MMP band normalized to ß-actin. Each single dot corresponds to cells isolated from one mouse. Data were mean ± SEM. Student’s t -test, unpaired, two-tailed. .
