DMD gene expression across tissues and vascular cell types. (A) DMD gene expression levels in various human tissues, with notably high expression in arterial tissue. Data obtained from the GTEx Portal database. (B) Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from human aorta showing high DMD expression specifically in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), compared to other cell types including endothelial cells (EC), fibroblasts (Frb/Frbio), monocytes (Mono), and macrophages (Macro). (C) scRNA-seq data from mouse aorta confirming elevated DMD expression in VSMCs relative to other vascular cell types. Expression levels are shown as TPM (Transcripts Per Million), indicating relative transcript abundance across cell populations.
