Project description:We performed a study investigating donors previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic to understand how vaccination may reshape T cell populations formed after infection. 10 donors were investigated using single-cell RNA-sequencing consisting of a) 3 mild non-hospitalised donors, b) 3 severe hospitalised donors, c) 1 mild recently vaccinated donor and d) 3 recently convalescent donors. For each of these groups we sampled at the following timepoints a) 6-9 months and 18 months after infection, b) 6-9 months and 18 months after infection, c) 13 months and 15 months after infection and d) 35 days after infection. All donors were unvaccinated at the first time point and vaccinated at the second time point. We stimulated PBMC with an overlapping peptide pool derived from the spike glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and sorted spike-specific CD4+ T cells (CD4+CD69+CD40L+) and spike-specific CD8+ T cells (CD8+CD69+4-1BB+) from every donor and time point using flow cytometry for 10X single-cell sequencing (5' protocol). Each time point from Dnr4868 was sequenced across two 10X reactions/libraries performed on the same day. Multiple samples were hashed and pooled together for sequencing using TotalSeq-C anti-human hashing antibodies from BioLegend. Individual library expression matrix files were generated using the CellRanger pipeline from 10X Genomics. The processed data file named immune.combined220929.rds is a Seurat Object containing all samples and generated using the Seurat package in R.

Project description:Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common malignancy in women worldwide. It is characterized by a natural continuous phenomenon, that is, it is in the initial stage of HPV infection, progresses to intraepithelial neoplasia, and then develops into invasion and metastasis. Determining the complexity of tumor microenvironment (TME) can deepen our understanding of lesion progression and provide novel therapeutic strategies for CC. We performed the single-cell RNA sequencing on the normal cervix, intraepithelial neoplasia, primary tumor and metastatic lymph node tissues to describe the composition, lineage, and functional status of immune cells and mesenchymal cells at different stages of CC progression. A total of 59913 single cells were obtained and divided into 9 cellular clusters, including immune cells (T/NK cells, macrophages, B cells, plasma cells, mast cells and neutrophils) and mesenchymal cells (endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts). Our results showed that there were distinct cell subpopulations in different stages of CC. High-stage intraepithelial neoplasia (HSIL) tissue exhibited a low, recently activated TME, and it was characterized by high infiltration of tissue-resident CD8 T cell, effector NK cells, Treg, DC1, pDC, and M1-like macrophages. Tumor tissue displayed high enrichment of exhausted CD8 T cells, resident NK cells and M2-like macrophages, suggesting immunosuppressive TME. Metastatic lymph node consisted of naive T cell, central memory T cell, circling NK cells, cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and effector memory CD8 T cells, suggesting an early activated phase of immune response. This study is the first to delineate the transcriptome profile of immune cells during CC progression using single-cell RNA sequencing. Our results indicated that HSIL exhibited a low, recently activated TME, tumor displayed immunosuppressive statue, and metastatic lymph node showed early activated phase of immune response. Our study enhanced the understanding of dynamic change of TME during CC progression and has implications for the development of novel treatments to inhibit the initiation and progression of CC.

Project description:Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth leading cause of deaths in gynecological malignancies. Although the etiology of CC has been extensively investigated, the exact pathogenesis of CC remains incomplete. Recently, single-cell technologies demonstrated advantages in exploring intra-tumoral diversification among various tumor cells. However, single-cell transcriptome (scRNA-seq) analysis of CC cells and microenvironment has not been conducted. In this study, a total of 6 samples (3 CC and 3 adjacent normal tissues) were examined by scRNA-seq. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to survey the transcriptomes of 57,669 cells derived from three CC tumors with paired normal adjacent non-tumor (NAT) samples. Single-cell transcriptomics analysis revealed extensive heterogeneity in malignant cells of human CCs, wherein epithelial subpopulation exhibited different genomic and transcriptomic signatures. We also identified cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) that may promote tumor progression of CC, and further distinguished inflammatory CAF (iCAF) and myofibroblastic CAF (myCAF). CD8+ T cell diversity revealed both proliferative (MKI67+) and non-cycling exhausted (PDCD1+) subpopulations at the end of the trajectory path. We used the epithelial signature genes derived from scRNA-seq to deconvolute bulk RNA-seq data of CC, identifying four different CC subtypes, namely hypoxia (S-H subtype), proliferation (S-P subtype), differentiation (S-D subtype), and immunoactive (S-I subtype) subtype. Our results lay the foundation for precision prognostic and therapeutic stratification of CC.

Project description:MSCs comprise several percent of pluripotent-like cells named Multilineage-differentiating stress enduring (Muse) cells that express pluripotent markers at moderate levels, are collectable as cells positive for the pluripotent surface marker SSEA-3, are able to differentiate into triploblastic lineage cells, and self-renew at the single cell level (Kuroda et al, PNAS, 2010; Wakao et al, PNAS, 2011). Importantly, MSCs also comprise cells other than SSEA-3(+)-Muse cells, namely multipotent SSEA-3(-)-non-Muse MSCs that correspond to ~98% of the total MSC population. These SSEA-3(-)-non-Muse MSCs exhibit the same properties as conventional MSCs, although the non-Muse MSCs are multipotent, they are not pluripotent. In the present study, to clarify the key molecules that characterize pluripotent-like vs multipotent somatic stem cells, we separated human MSCs into SSEA-3(+)-Muse cells and SSEA-3(-)-non Muse MSCs, and analyzed both populations by scRNA-seq. SSEA-3(+) Muse cells and SSEA-3(-) non-Muse MSCs were sorted from human BM-MSCs. Sequencing libraries were prepared using Chromium single cell 3' Kit v3 (10x Genomics, Pleasanton, CA, USA) and sequenced on HiSeq2500 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). Transcripts were mapped with CellRanger pipeline v3 (10x Genomics). Library construction, sequencing, and initial analysis were performed by GENEWIZ (South Plainfield, NJ, USA).

Project description:Wnt/b-catenin signalling is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism for cell-cell communication implicated in both developmental processes and diseases such as cancer. A main part of this signalling pathway is the stabilization and nuclear translocation of b-catenin, driving the transcriptional regulation of target genes. However, while b-catenin target genes traditionally have been through to be collectively regulated upon Wnt pathway stimulation, this appears in contrast with the non-overlapping patterns of Wnt target gene expression in several contexts, including early mammalian embryogenesis. To address the question whether individual cells exhibits diverse responses to Wnt stimulation, we followed Wnt target gene activation in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) via single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) after GSK3 inhibition at 4, 24 and 72 hours of stimulation.

Project description:Longitudinal phenotyping of T cells and myeloid cells in early (day 14) and late (day26) GL261 tumors. Single cell RNA sequencing of CD45+ immune cell from intracranial murine GL261-SIINFEKL tumors 20 days after inoculation. SIINFEKL-reactive T cells were sorted based on dextramer staining. Using time-resolved scRNA-seq of murine tumor-infiltrating immune cells from early (d14) and late stage (d26) syngeneic GL261 gliomas we observed constant MHCII expression by murine microglia over time and overall high but decreasing MHCII expression in late stage bbm indicating a dynamic process of MHCII expression. We show that loss of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II (MHCII)-restricted antigen presentation on bbm drives dysfunctional intratumoral tumor-reactive CD8+ T cell states through increased expression of Tox, a critical regulator of T cell exhaustion. By calculating the normalized abundance of T cell states along the pseudotime trajectory of SIINFEKL-reactive CD8+ T cells retrieved from myeloidMHCII-proficient and -deficient microenvironments, we found an enrichment of a distinct T cell state in myeloidMHCIIKO CD8+ T cells that was defined by peak expression of exhaustion markers. Mechanistically, MHCII-dependent activation of CD4+ T cells restricts myeloid-derived osteopontin that triggers a chronic activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (Nfat)2 in tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells. In summary, we provide evidence that MHCII-restricted antigen presentation on bbm is a key mechanism to directly maintain functional cytotoxic T cell states in brain tumors.
