Figure 2

Heterogeneity of endothelial cell in meniscus biopsies. (a) UMAP plot showing integrated analysis of meniscus endothelial cells. (b) Violin plots showing the expressions of feature genes in endothelial subclusters (HOXA13 and RASGRF2). (c) Heatmap showing the disparity of the top 10 genes between meniscus endothelial cell subclusters. (d) Gene set enrichment analysis showing meniscus endothelial cell subclusters exhibits distinguished biological features. (e) Split UMAP plots showing the comparison of meniscus endothelial cell subclusters between controls and patients with OA. (f) Flow cytometry analysis showing differences of meniscus endothelial cell subclusters between controls and patients with OA. cells were acquired from each sample. (g) Dot plot showing statistical analysis of the absolute number of endothelial cell subclusters between controls and patients with OA. Each dot represents one readout. Data represents three independent experiments. .
