Bulk transcriptomic profiling of pluripotent stem cell-derived alveolar type 2 cells (iAT2s) cultured in spheres and at air-liquid interface and human HTII-280-sorted AT2s from a pediatric and adult donor lungs cultured in spheres

ABSTRACT: We performed bulk transcriptomic profiling of pluripotent stem cell-derived alveolar type 2 cells (iAT2s) and HTII-280-sorted human AT2s cultured with CK+DCI media. We used previously described distal lung directed differentiation protocol to generate alveolar type 2 cells (iAT2s). We used the SPC2-ST-B2 (“SPC2”) line containing a SFTPC-tdTomato knock in reporter. iAT2s were cultured in 3D spheres and at air-liquid interface. Human AT2s were HTII-280-sorted from a pediatric donor lung (13 months old) and an adult, nonsmoker human lung (32 years old) and cultured as spheres in the presence of MRC5s. After deconvolution, we find that iAT2s cultured in ALI correlate more closely to primary cultured AT2s than do iAT2s cultured in 3D spheres on the basis of lung epithelial gene expression.

Project description:We performed transcriptomic profiling of freshly isolated primary adult human alveolar epithelial type 2 cells (AEC2s), their isogenic cultured progeny, and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived AEC2s (iAEC2s). Distal lung preparations from adult donor lung explants from two individuals were cryopreserved using methods we have previously described. Primary AEC2s were purified using fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate cells co-expressing EPCAM and HTII-280. To establish cultures of primary AEC2s, these cells were combined with MRC5 fibroblasts at an 1:10 ratio on cell culture inserts in CK+DCI medium. iAEC2s were derived using our previously published lung directed differentiation protocol. We used the SPC2 human iPSC line and specifically the SPC2-ST-B2 (SFTPC tdT/WT ) clone containing a SFTPC tdTomato knock-in reporter. SFTPC tdTomato+ cells were sorted on day 41 of differentiation. iAEC2s were single-cell passaged in self-renewing feeder-free 3D cultures approximately every 2 weeks. We used the 10X Chromium System to generate single-cell transcriptomic data from 5 samples prepared in parallel and sequenced on the same day. We profiled (a) preculture primary AEC2s, (b) cultured primary AEC2s, (c) 3D feeder-free iAEC2s, (d) feeder-free iAEC2 cultured on cell culture inserts, and (e) iAEC2s cultured on cell inserts with MRC5 fibroblasts. The cultured primary AEC2 samples and the iAEC2 sample co-cultured with MRC5s were sorted for live EPCAM+ cells prior to encapsulation. All other samples were sorted for live cells. We find that although each population (fresh, primary cultured, and iPSC-derived AEC2s) occupies a distinct transcriptomic space, both cultured primary AEC2s and cultured feeder-free iAEC2s closely resemble their primary pre-cultured counterparts. We also find a continuum of progressively more proliferative states (from fresh primary to cultured primary to cultured iAEC2s) inversely associated with progressively less mature AEC2 states.
