Single cell RNA-Seq of the murine non-myocyte cardiac cellulome
We characterized single-cell transcriptional profiles of the cardiac non-myocyte cell pool in C57BL/6J mice. The cell preparation we sequenced consisted of metabolically active, nucleated non-myocyte cells from heart ventricles of female and male mice which were depleted of endothelial cells. The goals of this experiment included examining cellular diversity, identifying markers of understudied cell populations, exploring functional roles of different cell types, and characterizing sexual dimorphism in cardiac gene expression.
