Heterogeneity of hepatocytes (Heps) and their differentiation states. a Functional enrichment in the down-regulated (left) and up-regulated (right) DEGs of TCS-200 group vs. control group. b UMAP visualization of distinct subtypes of Heps and their distributions in different groups. c Heatmap of expression levels of representative markers involved in drug metabolism, ECM, EMT and cell proliferation. d Pseudotime trajectory indicating the development of four subtypes, rooting from Hep1. e Heatmap showing AUC values of the expression levels of TFs in different subtypes. f The protein level of GATA2 and MEF2C in mice liver were detected by Western blotting. g Cell viability measured by CCK-8 assay after 72 h after transfection with si-NC for NC (normal control) or si-GATA2. h Bar plots showing the biological processes enrich up- and down-regulated DEPs after TCS treatment. i The potential regulatory relationship of GATA2 and MEF2C controlled downstream proteins leading to cell proliferation, ECM reorganization and liver fibrosis. Numbers indicate the fold change of protein between TCS-200 and control groups from proteomics dataset.
