Single-cell comparative transcriptomics of control and MK-886-treated sea urchin primary mesenchyme cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We report the single-cell transcriptional profiling of sea urchin primary mesenchyme cells isolated from embryos treated with DMSO or with 5-lox activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor MK-886. We find that inhibition of LOX activity with MK-886 prior to PMC isolation induces shifts in gene expression within the PMC population. We further demonstrate that control PMCs cluster into four transcriptionally-defined subsets, and MK-886-treated PMCs cluster into five distinct subsets. These data highlight novel transcriptional paradigms in the diversification of PMCs, and the requirement of ectodermal LOX activity for proper PMC transcriptional diversification.
