Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A – D ) Single-cell RNA-Seq of paired BPH-normal human prostate tissue. ( A ) t-Distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) plot of combined BPH/normal prostate cells. Each dot represents an individual cell. Cell clusters (colored) are annotated by the expression of known cell type markers (e.g., LUM and DCN in fibroblasts). ( B ) Close-up of fibroblast cells contributed by BPH (purple) or normal prostate (green). ( C ) Fibroblast gene expression levels shown for IGF1 , CXCL13 , SRD5A2 , and AR . Color bar depicts log 2 transcript counts per cell. ( D ) Cell coexpression (purple) of IGF1 with CXCL13 , SRD5A2 , or AR . ( E – J ) Two-color RNA in situ hybridization (RISH) of BPH tissue, exemplified for Hub-8, verifies cell coexpression of ( E and H ) IGF1 (blue) with CXCL13 (red); ( F and I ) IGF1 (blue) with SRD5A2 (red); and ( G and J ) IGF1 (blue) with AR (red). Arrows identify representative cells with dual staining; scale bar is 500 μm, and all figure insets are an additional 8.7× magnification. Note, 2-color RISH for IGF1 / CXCL13 , IGF1 / SRD5A2 , and IGF1 / AR was conducted on 1 additional BPH hub .
