Figure 7.

Altered odontoblastic and endothelial heterogeneity in Vegfr2 iΔEC mice. (A) Schematic diagram depicting the strategy for scRNA-seq analysis of dental pulp cells. (B and C) UMAP plot of cells from control and Vegfr2iΔEC mice at P12. Clustering was performed based on expression of canonical cell-type markers for HCs (HC1, HC2, and HC3), odontoblasts (OB1 and OB2), myelinated Schwann cells (MScCs), non-myelinated Schwann cells (NMScC1 and NMSsC2), EC1s and EC2s, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). (D) Cell counts (%) for each cluster shown in B. Red color indicates FC >2.5. (E) Gene ontologies for differentially expressed genes upregulated or downregulated in Vegfr2iΔEC compared with control mice. Eight representative ontologies sorted from the top 25 ontologies are shown. (F) Heatmaps showing expression level of dentinogenesis genes extracted from the gene list GOBP_ODONTOGENESIS_OF_DENTIN_CONTAINING_TOOTH (M15056) or Hif-1 target genes extracted from the list SEMENZA_HIF1_TARGETS (M12299) in the website for gene set enrichment analysis (https://www.gsea-msigdb.org/gsea/msigdb/index.jsp).
