Transcriptional profiling of short telomere iPS derived sorted SFTPC+ iAT2 cells

ABSTRACT: Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by deficiencies in telomere maintenance leading to very short telomeres and the premature onset of certain age_Related diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis (PF). PF is thought to derive from epithelial failure, particularly that of type II alveolar epithelial (AT2) cells, which are highly dependent on Wnt signaling during development and adult regeneration. We use human iPSC-derived AT2 (iAT2) cells to model how short telomeres affect AT2 cells. Cultured DC mutant iAT2 cells accumulate shortened, uncapped telomeres and manifest defects in the growth of alveolospheres, hallmarks of senescence, and apparent defects in Wnt signaling. The GSK3 inhibitor, CHIR99021, which mimics the output of canonical Wnt signaling, enhances telomerase activity and rescues the defects. These findings support further investigation of Wnt agonists as potential therapies for DC related pathologies.

CRISPRi DSP-kd in iAT2

Project description:We performed single cell transcriptomic profiling of induced human pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived type 2 alveolar epithelial cells (iAT2). iPSCs stably expressed CRISPRi (dCas9-KRAB) under the control of doxycyline. iAT2s were transduced with a lentivirus expressing gRNA targeting the transcriptional start site of DSP. Cells were treated with or without doxycyline to intiate CRISPRi-knockdown. Prior to capture, cells were labelled with hashing antibodies (HTO). Cells were captured for 10x Genomics Single cell capture (V3 protocol), and GEX and HTO libraries were sequenced. HTODemux function was used to demultiplex the samples. Knockdown of DSP caused cells to cluster separately from wild-type cells.

Project description:We performed bulk transcriptomic profiling of induced human pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived type 2 alveolar epithelial cells (iAT2). iPSCs stably expressed CRISPRi (dCas9-KRAB) under the control of doxycyline. iAT2s were transduced with a lentivirus expressing gRNA targeting the transcriptional start site of ADGRG6. Cells were treated with or without doxycyline to intiate CRISPRi-knockdown. Cells were plated at an air-liquid interface, then subsequently exposed to air or 5% cigarette smoke using a VitroCell smoke robot. Cells were harvested for bulk RNA sequencing 8 hours post cigarette smoke exposure

Small-Molecule PAPD5 Inhibitors Restore Telomerase Activity in Patient Stem Cells

Project description:Genetic lesions that reduce telomerase cause a range of incurable diseases including dyskeratosis congenita (DC) and pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and restoring telomere length in these patients would be curative. Ectopic expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) risks cellular immortalization, and how to target telomerase in stem cells throughout the body remains unclear. Here we describe a successful screen for small molecules that augment TERC, the non-coding telomerase RNA component, and thereby specifically elongate telomeres in stem cells. PAPD5 is a non-canonical polymerase that oligo-adenylates and destabilizes TERC. Using a high-throughput screen we identify BCH001, a specific PAPD5 inhibitor that decreases TERC 3′- oligo(A) tailing and increases telomerase activity and telomere length by thousands of nucleotides in DC patient induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). BCH001 does not result in immortalization or telomere elongation in somatic cells which lack TERT, establishing a favorable safety profile. When human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) engineered by CRISPR-Cas9 to carry PARN mutations that cause DC and PF are xenotransplanted into immunodeficient mice, oral treatment with PAPD5 inhibitors rescues TERC 3′-end maturation and telomere length. Our data demonstrate telomere restoration in human stem cells in vivo using small molecules.

Emergence of Wnt signaling during lung alveologenesis expands and maintains the type 2 alveolar epithelial cell population

Project description:Alveologenesis is the culmination of lung development and involves the correct temporal and spatial signals to generate the delicate gas exchange interface. Using a novel Wnt signaling reporter system, we have identified a Wnt-responsive alveolar epithelial sublineage arising during alveologenesis called the axin2+ alveolar type 2 cell or AT2Aaxin2. The number of AT2Aaxin2 sublineage cells increases substantially during late lung development, revealing a wave of Wnt signaling during alveologenesis. Transcriptome analysis, in vivo clonal analysis, and ex vivo lung organoid assays reveal that AT2sAaxin2s promote enhanced AT2 cellalveolar growth during generation of the alveolus compared to the overall AT2 population. Activating Wnt signaling in the AT2 lineage results in expansion of the AT2axin2 sublineageAT2s whereas inhibition of Wnt signaling inhibits AT2 cell development and shunts alveolar epithelial development towards the AT1 cell lineage. These findings reveal a novel epithelial sublineage that coordinates Wnt-dependent alveolar growthAT2 expansion required for lung alveologenesis

Gene expression data of alveolosphere/airway organoid and alveolosphere with SARS-CoV-2 or mock infection

Project description:Although the main cellular target of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is thought to be alveolar cells, the absence of their tractable culture system has precluded the development of a clinically-relevant SARS-CoV-2 infection model. Here, we established an efficient human alveolosphere culture method and sphere-based drug testing platform for SARS-CoV-2. Alveolospheres exhibited indolent growth in a Wnt and R-spondin dependent manner. Gene expression, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy analyses revealed the presence of alveolar cells in alveolospheres. Alveolospheres expressed ACE2 and allowed SARS-CoV-2 to propagate nearly 100,000- fold in three days of infection. While lopinavir and nelfinavir, protease inhibitors used for the treatment of HIV infection, had a modest anti-viral effect on SARS-CoV-2, remdesivir, a nucleotide prodrug, showed anti-viral effect at the concentration comparable to the circulating drug level. These results demonstrated the validity of alveolosphere culture system for the development of therapeutic agents to combat SARS-CoV-2.

Human alveolar hydrogels promote morphological and transcriptional differentiation in iPSC-derived alveolar type 2 epithelial cells

Project description:Alveolar type 2 epithelial cells (AT2s) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iAT2s) have rapidly contributed to our understanding of AT2 function and disease. However, as iAT2s are primarily cultured in three-dimensional (3D) Matrigel, a matrix derived from cancerous mouse tissue, it is unclear the impact a physiologically relevant matrix will have on iAT2s. Herein, we derive hydrogels from decellularized human lung alveolar-enriched extracellular matrix (aECM) to provide a relevant ex vivo model for the 3D culture of iAT2s. We demonstrate aECM hydrogels retain critical in situ ECM components, including structural and basement membrane proteins. While aECM hydrogels facilitate iAT2 proliferation and alveolosphere formation, a subset of iAT2s rapidly change morphology to thin and elongated ring-like cells. This morphological change correlates with upregulation of recently described iAT2-derived transitional cell state genetic markers. As such, we demonstrate a potentially underappreciated role of physiologically relevant aECM in iAT2 differentiation.
