Deciphering in vivo reprogramming using single cell RNA sequencing in the pancreas

ABSTRACT: The manipulation of cell fates through reprogramming is one of the most exciting advances in recent years. The most striking breakthrough in the field occurred when Yamanaka first illustrated the possibility to convert differentiated cells into pluripotent stem cells by the ectopic expression of four transcription factors, Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc or OSKM. Our laboratory has demonstrated that transient expression of these four Yamanaka factors leads to teratoma formation in mice indicative of in vivo reprogramming. We were interested in deciphering the intermediate events of de-differentiation induced by OSKM in vivo before reaching pluripotency. For this purpose, we focused on the pancreas which we found to be the organ with the highest reprogramming efficiency in vivo. To gain an insight into the cellular heterogeneity generated by OSKM activation in vivo, we performed single cell RNA sequencing of partially reprogrammed pancreas. We found that in vivo reprogramming leads to the loss of pancreatic acinar identity and the acquisition of an atypical tubular morphology different from normal pancreatic ducts or from the metaplastic ducts produced by pancreatitis. We were able to capture cells that have lost their acinar identity and they have acquired alternative cell fates. This analysis provide us with a list of markers characteristic of the intermediate stages of OSKM reprogramming.

Human stem cell-derived pancreatic acini-like and duct-like organoids demonstrate lineage-specific differences to oncogene activation

Project description:The exocrine compartment of the pancreas consisting of ducts and acini makes up most of the pancreatic tissue and is the site of origin for pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Our understanding of the initiation and progression of human PDAC is limited because of challenges associated with maintaining acinar cells in culture. Here we report the commitment of human pluripotent stem cells towards pancreatic duct-like and acini-like organoids that express properties of the neonatal exocrine pancreas. The expression of PDAC-oncogenes KRasG12D or GNASR201C induced cell lineage-specific effects where GNASR201C was more effective in ductal compared to acinar organoids. KRasG12D was more effective in modeling cancer in vivo when expressed in acinar cells and was associated with acinar to ductal metaplastic changes in culture and in vivo. Thus we demonstrate lineage tropism and plasticity in the human exocrine pancreas and identify a renewable source of ductal and acinar epithelia for understanding exocrine development and diseases.

Comprehensive sequence-based DNA methylation analysis suggests that PanIN lesions are acinar-derived and epigenetically primed for carcinogenesis

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is believed to arise from the accumulation of a series of somatic mutations and is also frequently associated with pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) lesions. However, there is still debate as to whether the cell-type-of-origin of PanINs and PDACs is acinar or ductal. As cell type identity is maintained epigenetically, DNA methylation changes during pancreatic neoplasia can provide a compelling perspective to examine this question, but DNA methylation sequencing has not yet been performed genome-wide on purified exocrine and neoplastic cell types in the pancreas. Thus, we performed genome-wide DNA methylation sequencing on acini, non-neoplastic ducts, PanIN lesions, and PDAC lesions. We found that: 1) both global methylation profiles and block DMRs clearly implicate an acinar origin for PanINs; 2) at the gene level, PanIN lesions exhibit an intermediate acinar-ductal phenotype resembling acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM); and 3) PanINs are epigenetically primed to progress to PDAC. Thus, epigenomic analysis complements histopathology to define molecular progression toward PDAC.

In vivo reprogramming drives Kras-induced cancer development [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Accumulation of genetic mutations is thought to be a primary cause of cancer. However, a set of genetic mutations sufficient for cancer development remains unclear in most cancers, including pancreatic cancer. Here, we examined the effect of in vivo reprogramming on Kras-induced cancer development. We first demonstrate that Kras and p53 mutations are insufficient to induce activation of ERK signaling and cancer development in the pancreas. We next show that short transient expression of reprogramming factors (1-3 days) in pancreatic acinar cells results in repression of acinar cell enhancers and reversible loss of acinar cell properties. Notably, the transient expression of reprogramming factors in Kras mutant mice is sufficient to induce robust and persistent activation of ERK signaling in acinar cells and rapid formation of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In contrast, forced expression of acinar cell-related transcription factors inhibits pancreatitis-induced activation of ERK signaling and development of precancerous lesions in Kras-mutated acinar cells.

Gene expression of non-apoptotic pancreatic acinar cell death with autophagy

Project description:Serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 3 (Spink3) is a trypsin inhibitor in the pancreas. Spink3-/- pancreatic acinar cells are dead with excessive autophagy at birth (p0.5). To prove the role of nonapoptotic cell death with autophagy, we generated by transgenic technology the pancreas of Spink3-/-;XKI/+ mice contained both normal and dying acinar cells with autophagy. In this new mouse model, chronic inflammation occurred in the pancreas, indicating that some signals from nonapoptotic dead cell induce chronic inflammation in the pancreas. All samples were the pancreas at p0.5. Sample 1 and 2 are the pancreas from wild type (Spink3+/+, control) mice. Sample 3 and 4 are the pancreas from Spink3-/-, which all pancreatic acinar cells show induced nonapoptotic cell death with autophagy. Sample 5 and 6 are the pancreas from Spink3-/-XKI/+, about half acinar cells are normal, but other acinar cells show induced nonapoptotic cell death with autophagy.

NFIA regulates pancreatic cell fate and adult physiology through vesicle trafficking

Project description:Intracellular trafficking is essential for proper cell signaling. In the pancreas, secretory cells rely on trafficking to regulate blood glucose and digestion. Pancreatic disorders reflect defects in function or development, evoking considerable interest in understanding the molecular genetics governing pancreatic organogenesis. Here, we show the transcription factor NFIA regulates trafficking in both the embryonic and adult pancreas, affecting both developmental cell fate decisions and adult physiology. NFIA deletion from pancreatic progenitors led to the development of more acinar cells and ducts and fewer endocrine cells, whereas ectopic NFIA promoted endocrine formation. We found that NFIA’s effects on trafficking influence endocrine/exocrine cell fate decisions through regulation of Notch. Adult NFIA-deficient mice develop diabetic phenotypes due to impaired insulin granule trafficking and defects in acinar zymogen secretion. This study shows how a single transcription factor, NFIA, thus exerts profound effects on both embryonic cell fate and adult physiology by regulating vesicle trafficking.

A single cell atlas of the murine pancreatic ductal tree identifies novel cell populations with potential implications in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis.

Project description:Pancreatic ducts form an intricate network of tubules that secrete bicarbonate and drive acinar secretions into the duodenum. This network is formed by centroacinar cells, terminal, intercalated, intracalated ducts, and the main pancreatic duct. Ductal heterogeneity at the single-cell level has been poorly characterized. Here, we used scRNA-seq to comprehensively characterize mouse ductal heterogeneity at single-cell resolution of the entire ductal epithelium from centroacinar cells to the main duct. Moreover, we used organoid cultures, injury models and pancreatic tumor samples to interrogate the role of novel ductal populations in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis. In our study, we have identified the coexistence of 15 ductal populations within the healthy pancreas and characterized their organoid formation capacity and endocrine differentiation potential. Cluster isolation and subsequent culturing let us identify ductal cell populations with high organoid formation capacity and endocrine and exocrine differentiation potential in vitro, including Wnt-responsive-population, ciliated-population and FLRT3+ cells. Moreover, we have characterized the location of these novel ductal populations in healthy pancreas, chronic pancreatitis and tumor samples, hightlihgting a putative role of WNT-responsive, IFN-responsive and EMT-populations in pancreatic exocrine pathogenesis as their expression inceases in chronic pancreatitis and PanIN lesions. In light of our discovery of previously unidentified ductal populations, we unmask the potential roles of specific ductal populations in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis.

Unlimited in vitro expansion of adult bi-potent pancreas progenitors through the Lgr5/Rspondin axis

Project description:Lgr5 marks adult stem cells in multiple adult organs and is a receptor for the Wnt-agonistic R-spondins (RSPOs). Intestinal, stomach and liver Lgr5+ stem cells grow in 3D cultures to form ever-expanding organoids, which resemble the tissues of origin. Wnt signaling is inactive and Lgr5 is not expressed under physiological conditions in the adult pancreas. However, we now report that the Wnt pathway is robustly activated upon injury by Partial Duct Ligation (PDL), concomitant with the appearance of Lgr5 expression in regenerating pancreatic ducts. In vitro, duct fragments from mouse pancreas initiate Lgr5 expression in RSPO1-based cultures, and develop into budding cyst-like structures (organoids) which expand 5-fold weekly for >40 weeks. Single isolated duct cells can also be cultured into pancreatic organoids, containing Lgr5 stem/progenitor cells that can be clonally expanded. Clonal pancreas organoids can be induced to differentiate into duct as well as endocrine cells upon transplantation, thus proving their bi-potentiality We generated arrays from whole pancreas, islet, acinar and duct (Sox9+ sorted) cells and pancreas derived cultures maintained in our defined medium. For the clustering analysis we substracted the pancreas array to all arrays. Genes 2 fold differentially expressed in the ductal array were used for the analsyis. For the genes enriched in organoid cultures compared to pancreas we substracted the organoid culture arrays to the pancreas array. Genes >2-fold differentially expressed were used for the analysis.

Mechanisms of Pancreatic Acinar Cell Neoplasia Associated with Gene Expression Changes caused by Dietary Exposure of Rats to Ammonium perfluorooctanoate, Wyeth 14,643 or Diethylhexyl phthalate

Project description:To identify putative procarcinogenic gene changes associated with pancreatic acinar cell neoplasia in rats exposed to peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha agonists, we performed transcription profiling in the pancreas of rats fed diets containing the pancreatic carcinogen Wyeth 14,643 (Wy) at procarcinogenic (50ppm) and non-carcinogenic (20ppm) doses for 1, 7, 28 and 90 days. The effects of these treatments were compared to those of ammonium perfluorooctanoate (APFO) 300 ppm, an agent shown to induce pancreatic acinar cell adenomas in rats, and diethylhexylphthalate (DEHP) 12,000 ppm, an agent not shown to produce pancreatic acinar cell tumors. To assess whether this putative mechanism(s) of carcinogenesis occurs in ‘target’ cells we have also performed transcriptional profiling in isolated pancreatic acinar cells obtained from animals exposed to these compounds in vivo.
