To further validate these findings, we extracted data from a public pancreatic single-cell RNA sequencing dataset, The Human Pancreas Analysis Program, and confirmed that VEGFA transcripts in β cells and KDR transcripts in islet endothelial cells were indeed increased in T2D donors compared with the healthy controls (Supplemental Figure 2, C–F). The gene discussed is KDR; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
