Abstract Background: Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is one of the most challenging congenital heart diseases in clinical treatment. In cardiac tissues, resident macrophages fulfill critical functions in maintaining a stable cardiac state and have strong regenerative capacity and organ specificity. However, the molecular mechanisms of macrophages in HLHS remained unclear. Methods: Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) data of HLHS and healthy control (donors) samples obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were normalized and clustered using the Seurat package. The “FindMarkers” function was used to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the HLHS and donor… More >
