scRNAseq of post-amputation regenerating zebrafish cardiac ventricle

Adult zebrafish hearts have the ability to regenerate. The roles of non-myocytes in this process have remained elusive. Here, we have performed 2 scRNAseq experiments on interstitial cells. Experiment 1 (E1) included interstitial cells obtained from uninjured, regenerating (3 days, 7 days and 14 days post-apical amputation). Experiment 2 (E2) included cells from uninjured, sham-operated (abdomen opened) and regenerating (3 days post-amputation) with and without MMP inhibitor (NSC40520) treatment. Cells were obtained by heart dissection followed by enzymatic dissociation and FACS sorting of single, viable nucleated cells.
