Hedgehog gradient in the stroma maintains niche diversity and organ function [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Two single-cell transcriptional analyses were performed on adult human lung distal and proximal stromal cells, respectively. We isolated lung specimen from both the proximal portion enriched in airways and distal portion enriched in alveoli separately. The lung fragments were then dissociated to single cells and FACSorted for stromal cells based on negative expression of epithelial, hematopoietic, and endothelial markers (EPCAM-/CD45-/CD11b-/CD31-). Library preparation was performed separately for the proximal and distal-derived stromal cells so that each subset has distinctive barcodes to determine anatomical origin, and approximately 10,000 cells were captured from each specimen. The results demonstrate that the proximal and distal human lung stromal subsets demonstrate significant overlap of homologous genes with their murine counterparts generated from Gli2+ murine stroma single-cell transcriptional analysis.
