The SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 expression of maternal-fetal interface and fetal organs by single-cell transcriptome study
Fig 1
The expression level of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in human placenta.
(A)-(B) are the results from Vento-Tormo, R et al.(2018).[16] (A) The tSNE plots of cell types and ACE2/TMPRSS2 genes. For the right plot, the points colored red are the cells expressed ACE2.(B)The violin plot of ACE2 gene in difference cell types. (C) The expression level of ACE2/TMPRSS2 for the data set from Liu, et al.(2018). DC: dendritic cells; dM: decidual macrophages; dP: decidual perivascular cells; dS: decidual stromal cells; Endo: endothelial cells; Epi: epithelial glandular cells; FB: fibroblasts; HB: Hofbauer cells; PV: perivascular cells; SCT: syncytiotrophoblast; VCT:villous cytotrophoblast; EVT: extravillous trophoblast; CTBs: cytotrophoblast cells; EVTs: extravillous trophoblast cells; STR: villous stromal cells.
