Project description:Normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells cultured in an air-liquid interface (ALI) system form a polarized, pseudostratified epithelium composed of basal, ciliated and goblet cells that closely resemble the in vivo airway epithelium structure. ALI cultures of NHBE cells provide a unique in vitro system to investigate airway epithelial biology, including developmental, structural and physiologic aspects. In this study, we wanted to investigate mRNA expression patterns during airway epithelium differentiation. By using microarrays, we studied the changes in expression of mRNAs in normal human bronchial epithelial cells as they differentiate from an undifferentiated monolayer to a differentiated pseudostratified epithelium after 28 days of air-liquid interface (ALI) culture, when epithelial cells differentially express basal, ciliated and goblet cell markers.

Normal human bronchial epithelial cells were cultured in an air-liquid interface (ALI) system and harvested at three different time-points: subconfluent, confluent and day 28 of ALI. Samples were processed for total RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. All the experiments were performed by triplicate.

ALI cultures of NHBE cells provide a unique in vitro system to investigate airway epithelial biology, including developmental, structural and physiologic aspects. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, single-stranded, non-coding RNAs of 20-23 nucleotides that down-regulate gene expression by either inducing degradation of target mRNAs or impairing their translation. They are phylogenetically well conserved, which probably implies an important role of miRNAs in biological processes. In this way, we wanted to shed some light on miRNA specific roles and the relationship with their mRNA targets during airway epithelium differentiation.

Project description:To investigate how human airway epithelial cells respond to Influenza or RSV infection, we harvested airway epithelial cells from the mainstream bronchi of human donors and cultured them as previously described (Pickles et al,1998) in a polarized system that resembles the in vivo mucociliary pseudostratified epithelium. Quadruplicate hAEC cultures were infected with 2X105 PFUs Influenza A (Udorn) or with 1x106 PFUs RSV for 2h or mock inoculated and harvested 24h after Influenza infection and 48h after RSV infection.

Project description:Airway basal cells (BC) function as progenitor cells capable of differentiating into ciliated and secretory cells to replenish the airway epithelium during physiological turnover and repair. The objective of this study was to define the role of Notch signaling in regulating human airway BC differentiation into a pseudostratified mucociliated epithelium. Notch inhibition with γ-secretase inhibitors demonstrated Notch activation is essential for BC differentiation into secre-tory cells and ciliated cells, but more so for the secretory lineage. Sustained Notch activation via lentivirus expression of the intracellular domain of each Notch receptor (NICD1-4) demonstrated that the Notch 2 and 4 pathways have little effect on BC differentiation, while activation of the Notch1 or 3 pathways has a major influence, with persistent expression of NICD1 or 3 resulting in a skewing toward secretory cell differentiation with a parallel decrease in ciliated cell differentiation. These observations provide insights into the control of the balance of BC differentiation into the secretory vs ciliated cell lineage, a balance that is critical for maintaining the normal function of the airway epithelium in barrier defense against the inhaled environment. Array-based expression profiling of the Notch signaling pathway genes specifically in human airway basal cells.

Project description:Human airway epithelial cells cultured in vitro at air-liquid interface (ALI) form a pseudostratified epithelium that forms tight junctions and cilia, and produces mucin, and are widely used as a model of differentiation, injury, and repair. To assess how closely the transcriptome of ALI epithelium matches that of in vivo airway epithelial cells, we used microarrays to compare the transcriptome of human large airway epithelial cells cultured at ALI with the transcriptome of large airway epithelium obtained via bronchoscopy and brushing. Gene expression profiling showed global gene expression correlated well between ALI cells and brushed cells, but there were some differences. Gene expression patterns mirrored differences in proportions of cell types (ALI have higher percentages of basal cells, brushed cells have higher percentages of ciliated cells), with ALI cells expressing higher levels of basal cell-related genes and brushed cells expressing higher levels of cilia-related genes. Pathway analysis showed ALI cells had increased expression of cell cycle and proliferation genes, while brushed cells had increased expression of cytoskeletal organization and humoral immune response genes. Overall, ALI cells are a good representation of the in vivo airway epithelial transcriptome, but for some biologic questions, the differences in the in vitro vs in vivo environments need to be considered. Affymetrix arrays were used to assess the gene expression of large airway cells cultured in vitro at air-liquid interface (12 samples) and large airway epithelial cells obtained by fiberoptic bronchoscopy of 20 healthy nonsmokers. *** Air-liquid interface Samples not provided in this Series. ***

Project description:Basal cells (BC) are the resident stem/progenitor cells of the adult pseudostratified airway epithelium, whose differentiation program is orchestrated by the NOTCH signaling pathway. NOTCH3 receptor mediated signaling regulates BC to club cell differentiation; however, the downstream responses that regulate this process are largely unknown. In the present study we utilized an in vitro air-liquid interface model of the human pseudostratified airway epithelium to identify the NOTCH3-dependent downstream genes/pathways that regulate human BC to club cell differentiation. Activation of NOTCH3 signaling in BC via lentivirus-mediated over-expression of the active NOTCH3 intracellular domain (NICD3) promoted club cell differentiation. Bulk RNA-seq analysis of control vs NICD3 -transduced cells, identified 692 NICD3 responsive genes enriched for pathways linked to airway epithelial biology and differentiation including Wnt/β-catenin Signaling. Expression of the classical NOTCH target HEYL increased in response to NOTCH3 activation and positively correlated with the club cell marker SCGB1A1. Further, using single-cell RNA-seq, we report that HEYL+ cells primarily clustered with SCGB1A1+ and NOTCH3+ cells. Moreover, HEYL protein co-localized with SCGB1A1 in ALI cultures in vitro and in the human and mouse airway epithelium in vivo. siRNA-mediated knockdown of HEYL in BC led to changes in epithelial structure including altered morphology and significant reductions in transepithelial electrical resistance and expression of tight junction related genes. Finally, HEYL knockdown significantly reduced the number of SCGB1A1+ club cells, along with a corresponding increase in KRT8+ BC-intermediate cells. Overall, our data identifies NOTCH3-HEYL signaling as a key regulator of BC to club cell differentiation.
