Expression of various molecules in all LEC subsets identified in the scRNA-seq dataset. (A–C) Bubble plots of the seven dermal LEC subsets showing the expression of selected genes encoding (A) cytokines, growth factors, and their receptors, (B) molecules involved in cell adhesion and migration, and (C) molecules involved in antigen presentation and the immune response. (D–F) Transcription factors (D), chemokines (E), and genes (F) recently found to be expressed by immune-interacting Ptx3⁺ LECs present in murine skin (Petkova et al., 2023). Only data from the skin are shown in A–E, whereas a comparison of skin and s.c. adipose tissue data is shown in F. The color and size of each dot represent the expression level and cell fraction of the indicated genes, respectively.
