| description | To assess the effect of Furin ablation on TEC development and heterogeneity, we detected the transcriptional profiles of 2-week-old WT and Furin KO TECs using single-cell RNA-seq. Employing an unsupervised graph-based clustering strategy, 20 clusters of TECs and 5 clusters of non-TEC contaminants were identified. After removing contaminants, 4301 WT TECs and 4086 Furin KO TECs were obtained. UMAP visualization revealed that the proportion of mTECs decreased significantly and the proportion of cTECs increased significantly in TEC-specific Furin knockout mice in comparison with WT mice. Further analysis showed that Furin ablation did not affect the proportion of mTEC I, II and III subsets, but reduced the proportion of mTEC IV subsets markedly.
