Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cells Regulate Gas Exchange Through Controlling Lung Fluid Balance

ABSTRACT: Limiting fluid in lung is critical for efficient gas exchange. Here we discovered a mechanism of neuropeptidergic control of lung fluid balance by pulmonary neuroendocrine cells (PNECs), potent sensors of chemical and mechanical cues. We studied the first animal model of neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI), which faithfully recapitulated patient phenotypes including PNEC hyperplasia and impaired gas exchange. Double mutants showed that increased PNECs and excess PNEC products such as CGRP are responsible for poor gas exchange, acting through downregulating endothelial junctions, increasing vessel leakage and fluid accumulation. Endothelium-specific inactivation of CGRP receptor, or treatment with CGRP receptor antagonist reduced fluid and improved gas exchange. In lungs with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including those caused by COVID-19, there was a striking increase of CGRP-expressing PNECs. These findings raise the possibility that increased neuropeptides would contribute to excess extravascular lung fluid and antagonizing their function may improve gas exchange.

Efficient generation and transcriptomic profiling of human iPSC-derived pulmonary neuroendocrine cells

Project description:Expansion of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells (PNECs) is a pathological feature of many human lung diseases. Human PNECs are inherently difficult to study due to their rarity (<1% of total lung cells) and a lack of established protocols for their isolation. We used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to generate induced PNECs (iPNECs) which express core PNEC markers, genes therby recapitulating known functions of primary PNECs. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of these iPNEC revealed a PNEC-associated gene expression profile that is concordant between iPNECs and human fetal PNECs. In conclusion, our model has the potential to provide an unlimited source of human iPNECs to explore PNEC pathophysiology associated with several lung diseases.

Human basal cell diversity in normal and IPF lung (bulk RNAseq)

Project description:Declining lung function in patients with interstitial lung disease is accompanied by epithelial remodeling and progressive scarring of the gas-exchange region. There is a need to better understand the contribution of basal cell hyperplasia and associated mucosecretory dysfunction to the development of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).We confirmed that Notch2 maintains undifferentiated basal cells and restrict basal-to-ciliated differentiation, and present evidence that Notch3 functions to restrain secretory differentiation. When characterizing single cell transcriptomes of the IPF lung we found a bias towards accumulation of the secretory primed basal cell subset.

Transcriptomic analysis of P0 mouse lung lymphatic endothelial cells

Project description:Fluid clearance mediated by lymphatic vessels is known to be essential for lung inflation and gas exchange function during the transition from prenatal to postnatal life, yet the molecular mechanisms that regulate lymphatic function remain unclear. Here, we profiled the molecular features of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) in embryonic and postnatal day (P) 0 lungs by single-cell RNA-seq analysis. We identified that the expression of c-JUN is transiently upregulated in P0 LECs. Conditional knockout of Jun in LECs impairs the opening of lung lymphatic vessels at birth, leading to fluid retention in the lungs and neonatal death. We further demonstrated that increased mechanical pressure induces the expression of c-JUN in LECs. c-JUN regulates the opening of lymphatic vessels by modulating remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton in LECs. Our study established the essential regulatory function of c-JUN-mediated transcriptional responses in facilitating lung lymphatic fluid clearance at birth.

Single cell reconstruction of human basal cell diversity in normal and IPF lung (single-cell RNAseq)

Project description:Declining lung function in patients with interstitial lung disease is accompanied by epithelial remodeling and progressive scarring of the gas-exchange region. There is a need to better understand the contribution of basal cell hyperplasia and associated mucosecretory dysfunction to the development of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Single cell RNA sequencing was used to map epithelial cell types of the normal and IPF human airway. Organoid and ALI cultures were used to investigate functional properties of basal cell subtypes. We confirmed that Notch2 maintains undifferentiated basal cells and restrict basal-to-ciliated differentiation, and present evidence that Notch3 functions to restrain secretory differentiation. When characterizing single cell transcriptomes of the IPF lung we found a bias towards accumulation of the secretory primed basal cell subset.

Transcriptional landscape of pulmonary lymphatic endothelium during late gestation

Project description:Maturation of lung cell types occurs during late gestation to ensure lung function and optimal gas exchange at birth. The pulmonary lymphatic endothelium is an understudied cell type and is essential for immune regulation and interstitial fluid removal. Here we provide the first characterization of the pulmonary lymphatic endothelium during late gestation prior to birth. We used microarrays to detail the global transcriptional programme underlying maturation of pulmonary lymphatic endothelium and identified 1,281 genes with significant changes in gene expression over time. Gene expression was validated by qPCR and in situ hybridization, which indicated a potential role for IFN-I signaling in pulmonary lymphatic endothelial cell (PLEC) maturation prior to birth.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR)-dependent protection against lung vascular leakage in viral infection

Project description:Disruption of the lung endothelial-epithelial cell barrier during respiratory virus infection causes cell and fluid accumulation in the air spaces and compromises vital gas exchange function. Endothelial cell dysfunction is known to exacerbate tissue damage; however, it is unclear whether the lung endothelium engages in tissue-protective activity during viral infection. Here we show that the environmental sensor aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is predominantly active in endothelial cells and protects against influenza-induced lung damage. Endothelial-specific AHR deletion caused increased vascular leakage in air spaces and enhanced influenza-induced lung tissue pathology. Global expression profiling revealed limited AHR-dependent regulation of vessels in the steady-state lung. However, following influenza-induced tissue damage and inflammation, AHR engages tissue-protective programmes in endothelia and prevents a dysplastic keratinised and apoptotic signature in the airways of infected lungs.
