Single-cell RNA-seq of Pdgfra+/Sca1+/Cd31- mouse cardiac cells

Adult mice hearts contain a population of resident mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-like cells called cardiac colony forming units-fibroblast (cCFU-F). The cCFU-F are housed in a population of non-muscle cardiac cells that are Pdgfra+/Sca1+/Cd31- (S+P+ fraction). The goal of this experiment was to profile the heterogeneity of cell sub-types contained within the S+P+ fraction. We profiled two replicates of S+P+ single-cell transcriptomes from the cardiac ventricles of adult, male, C57BL/6J mice after FACS sorting for live Pdgfra+/Sca1+/Cd31- non-myocyte cells.
