Applications of Single-cell RNA Sequencing in Heart Development,Disease and Medicine

doi:10.13560/j.cnki.biotech.bull.1985.2020-0396

Abstract

Abstract:

Single-cell RNA sequencing（scRNA-seq）can depict the difference in the expression level of the same gene between different cells at the single-cell level,enabling a new understanding of various tissues and organs at the single-cell level. At present,the sequencing research of the heart is transitioning from the bulk RNA-seq to the scRNA-seq,and research articles on the sequencing of mice’s and human’s heart have been published one after another. This article reviews the application of scRNA-seq in heart development,disease and medicine,and discusses scRNA-seq in embryonic heart development,cell heterogeneity of heart,pluripotent stem cells derived cardiovascular cell models,and congenital heart malformation. Finally,we conclude with prospects of scRNA-seq technology for heart development,heart regeneration,heart disease and single-cell precision medicine.

Key words: single-cell sequencing, heart development, heterogeneity, heart disease
