Tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) and dendritic cells (DCs) are highly heterogeneous and essential for immunity, tissue regeneration, and homeostasis maintenance. Here, we comprehensively profile the heterogeneity of TRMs and DCs across adult zebrafish organs via single-cell RNA sequencing. We identify two macrophage subsets: pro-inflammatory macrophages with potent phagocytosis signatures and pro-remodeling macrophages with tissue regeneration signatures in barrier tissues, liver, and heart. In parallel, one conventional dendritic cell (cDC) population with prominent antigen presentation capacity and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) featured by anti-virus properties are also observed in these organs. Remarkably, in addition to a single macrophage/microglia population with potent phagocytosis capacity, a pDC population and two distinct cDC populations are identified in the brain. Finally, we generate specific reporter lines for in vivo tracking of macrophage and DC subsets. Our study depicts the landscape of TRMs and DCs and creates valuable tools for in-depth study of these cells in zebrafish.
