Tcf21+ mesenchymal cells contribute to testis somatic cell development, homeostasis, and regeneration

ABSTRACT: Testicular development and function relies on interactions between somatic cells and the germline, but similar to other organs, regenerative capacity decline in aging and disease. Whether the adult testis maintains a reserve progenitor population with repair or regenerative capacity remains uncertain. Here, we characterized a recently identified mouse testis interstitial population expressing the transcription factor Tcf21. We found that Tcf21+ cells are bipotential somatic progenitors present in fetal testis and ovary, maintain adult testis homeostasis during aging, and act as reserve somatic progenitors following injury. In vitro, Tcf21+ cells are multipotent mesenchymal progenitors which form multiple somatic lineages including Leydig and myoid cells. Additionally, Tcf21+ cells resemble resident fibroblast populations reported in other organs having roles in tissue homeostasis, fibrosis, and regeneration. Our findings reveal that the testis, like other organs, maintains multipotent mesenchymal progenitors that can be leveraged in development of future therapies for hypoandrogenism and/or infertility.

Identification of a mesenchymal progenitor cell hierarchy in adipose tissue (Bulk RNA-seq)

Project description:The healthy growth of adipose tissue depends on the capacity of progenitor cells to undergo denovo adipogenesis. However, the cellular hierarchy and mechanisms governing adipocyteprogenitor differentiation are incompletely understood. Here, we identify a lineage hierarchy25 consisting of distinct mesenchymal cell types present in mouse and human adipose tissue. Cellsmarked by Dpp4 expression are highly proliferative, multipotent progenitors that give rise toIcam1+ committed pre-adipocytes and a related adipogenic population marked by Clec11a andCd142 expression. TGFβ maintains DPP4+ cell identity and inhibits adipogenic commitment ofDPP4+ and CD142+ cells. Intriguingly, DPP4+ progenitors reside in the reticular interstitium that30 envelope many organs including adipose depots. Altogether, this study defines the adipose lineagehierarchy and identifies a new anatomical niche for multipotent mesenchymal progenitors.

Basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Tcf21 is downstream target of male sex-determining gene SRY

Project description:The cascade of molecular events involved in mammalian sex determination has been shown to involve the SRY gene, but specific downstream events have eluded researchers for decades. The current study identifies one of the first direct downstream targets of the male sex-determining factor SRY as the basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor TCF21. SRY was found to directly associate with the Tcf21 promoter SRY/SOX9 response element both in vitro and in vivo during male sex determination. TCF21 was found to promote an in vitro sex reversal of embryonic ovarian cells to promote precursor Sertoli cell differentiation. Therefore, SRY acts directly on the Tcf21 promoter to, in part, initiate a cascade of events associated with Sertoli cell differentiation and embryonic testis development. We used microarrays to determine genes whose expression was stimulated in rat E13 ovarian cell sub-cultures in the presence of a pCMV-myc-expression plasmid over-expressing the Sry, Tsf21, and/or Tcf12 (Reb-alfa) genes. RNA samples from the control group (untreated E13 rat ovarian cells) are compared to RNA from 4 groups of treated E13 rat ovarian cells: 1) Sry overexpressing, 2) Tcf21 overexpressing, 3) Tcf12 (Reb alfa) overexpressing, and 4) Tcf21 + Tcf12 (Reb-alfa) overexpressing. Untreated E13 testis cell sub-cultures were also analyzed. 3 biological replicates each group.

Proteomics study of protein translation in aging Drosophila

Project description:Aging is characterized by a gradual decline in protein homeostasis. However, how protein dynamics changes with normal aging and in disease is less well understood. Here, we systemically characterize age-modulated proteome in Drosophila, from head and muscle tissues of somatic cells, and the testis as reproductive tissue.

Identification of stem cell populations in sweat glands and ducts: roles in homeostasis and wound repair

Project description:Sweat glands are abundant glands of our body and essential for thermoregulation. Like mammary glands, they originate from epidermal progenitors. However, they display few signs of cellular turnover, and whether they have stem cells and tissue regenerative capacity remain largely unexplored. Here we address these issues. Using lineage-tracing, we identify multipotent progenitors in sweat duct that transition to unipotency after developing the sweat gland. In characterizing four adult stem cell populations of glandular skin, we show that they display distinct regenerative capabilities and remain unipotent when healing epidermal, myoepithelial-specific and luminal-specific injuries. We devise purification schemes, isolate and transcriptionally profile progenitors. Exploiting molecular differences between sweat and mammary glands, we show that only some progenitors regain multipotency to produce de novo ductal and glandular structures, but that these can retain their identity even within certain foreign microenvironments. Our findings provide new concepts about glandular stem cells and sweat gland biology. 10 samples from mouse paw pads were analyzed

Effect of Hypoxia Preconditioning on the Regenerative Capacity of Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in an Experimental Model of Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis

Project description:DNA hydroxymethylation reflects gene activation. Hypoxia preconditioning can alter stem cell functioning by affecting gene activation. We wanted to assess the gene groups which would be activated and suppresed with hypoxia preconditioning to investigate and functionally correlate whether this strategy can enhance the regenerative capacity of adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells, which is a promising upcoming therapy for tissue regeneration especially for organs with a fixed tissue reserve such as the kidneys.

Single Novel single cell assay reveals progressive lymphoid defect in aging multipotent hematopoietic progenitors cell RNA-seq reveals LMPP clonal dynamics in aging.

Project description:Declining immune function with age is associated with reduced lymphoid output of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Currently, there is poor understanding of the dynamic changes with age in the heterogeneous multipotent hematopoietic progenitor cell compartment, which regulates output of differentiated lymphoid cells. In this study, we observed progressive and specific loss of lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitor cells (LMPP/MPP4) as young animals began to age. Single cell RNA-seq revealed a concomitant increase in cycling of these progenitors with loss of a lymphoid priming signature. To interrogate functional multipotency of single cells, we developed a novel, feeder-free in vitro assay to concurrently assess lymphoid and myeloid potential. This assay revealed altered clonal composition of the LMPP/MPP4 compartment with aging, where progenitors with B cell and macrophage-restricted potential are lost while functionally multipotent progenitors are preserved. These results pinpoint an age and cellular compartment to focus further interrogation of the drivers of lymphoid cell loss with aging.
