Regionalized cell and gene signatures govern oesophageal epithelial homeostasis.

ABSTRACT: Regionalized disease prevalence is a common feature of the gastrointestinal tract. Herein, we employed regionally resolved Smart-seq3 single-cell sequencing, generating a comprehensive cell atlas of the adult oesophagus. Characterizing the oesophageal axis, we unveil non-uniform distribution of epithelial basal cells, fibroblasts and immune cells. In addition, we reveal a position-dependent, but cell subpopulation-independent, transcriptional signature, collectively generating a regionalized landscape. Combining in vivo models with organoid co-cultures, we demonstrate that proximal and distal basal progenitor cell states are functionally distinct. We find that proximal fibroblasts are more permissive for organoid growth compared to distal fibroblasts and that the immune cell profile is regionalized in two dimensions, where proximal-distal and epithelial-stromal gradients impact epithelial maintenance. Finally, we predict and verify how WNT-, BMP-, IGF- and NRG-signalling are differentially engaged along the oesophageal axis. We establish a cellular and transcriptional framework for understanding oesophageal regionalization, providing a functional basis for epithelial disease susceptibility.

Gene expression profiling of prostate basal cells at proximal and distal ducts

Project description:We have noticed that the proliferative potential of epithelial cells in the mouse proximal prostatic ducts is less than those at the distal prostatic ducts. To determine whether specific signaling is differentially activated in distal and proximal prostate basal cells, we isolated respective basal cells in the two regions and performed an RNA-seq analysis.

Progenitor identification and SARS-CoV-2 infection in human distal lung organoids

Project description:The distal lung contains terminal bronchioles and alveoli that facilitate gas exchange. Three-dimensional in vitro human distal lung culture systems would strongly facilitate investigation of pathologies including interstitial lung disease, cancer, and SARS-CoV-2-associated COVID-19 pneumonia. We generated long-term feeder-free, chemically-defined culture of distal lung progenitors as organoids derived from single adult human alveolar epithelial type II (AT2) or KRT5+ basal cells. AT2 organoids exhibited AT1 transdifferentiation potential while basal cell organoids developed lumens lined by differentiated club and ciliated cells. Single cell analysis of basal organoid KRT5+ cells revealed a distinct ITGA6+ITGB4+ mitotic population whose proliferation further segregated to a TNFRSF12Ahi subfraction comprising ~10% of KRT5+ basal cells, residing in clusters within terminal bronchioles and exhibiting enriched clonogenic organoid growth activity. Distal lung organoids were created with apical-out polarity to display ACE2 on the exposed external surface, facilitating SARS-CoV-2 infection of AT2 and basal cultures and identifying club cells as a novel target population. This long-term, feeder-free organoid culture of human distal lung, coupled with single cell analysis, identifies unsuspected basal cell functional heterogeneity and establishes a facile in vitro organoid model for human distal lung infections including COVID-19-associated pneumonia.

RNA-sequencing of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived intestinal epithelial organoids

Project description:The purpose of this study was to characterise iPSC-derived human intestinal epithelial organoids (iPSCo) by comparing these cultures with primary purified intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). Intestinal epithelial organoid (IEO) cultures were derived from at least three different lines of iPSCs, RNA was extracted and gene expression was profiled using RNA-sequencing. We compared these profiles with datasets we have previously derived from purified IEC from mature terminal ileum (TI) and sigmoid colon (SC) as well as human fetal proximal gut (FPG) and fetal distal gut (FDG).

Three-axis classification of mouse lung mesenchymal cells reveals two populations of myofibroblasts

Project description:The mesenchyme consists of heterogeneous cell populations that support neighboring structures and are integral to intercellular signaling. Despite such importance, mesenchymal cell types are poorly defined morphologically and molecularly, lagging behind their counterparts in the epithelial, endothelial, and immune lineages. Leveraging single-cell RNA-seq, three-dimensional imaging, and lineage tracing, we classify the mouse lung mesenchyme into three proximal-distal axes that are associated with the endothelium, epithelium, and interstitium, respectively. From proximal to distal, (1) the vascular axis includes vascular smooth muscle cells and pericytes that transition as arterioles and venules ramify into capillaries; (2) the epithelial axis includes airway smooth muscle cells and two populations of myofibroblasts: ductal myofibroblasts, surrounding alveolar ducts and marked by CDH4, HHIP, and LGR6, which persist post-alveologenesis, and alveolar myofibroblasts, surrounding alveoli and marked by high expression of PDGFRA, which undergo developmental apoptosis; (3) the interstitial axis, residing between the epithelial and vascular trees and sharing a newly-identified marker MEOX2, includes fibroblasts in the bronchovascular bundle and the alveolar interstitium that are marked by IL33 and Wnt2, respectively. Single-cell imaging reveals distinct morphology of each mesenchymal cell population. This classification provides a conceptual and experimental framework applicable to other organs.

GRAMD2+ alveolar type I cell plasticity facilitates cell state transitions in organoid culture

Project description:Alveolar epithelial regeneration is critical for normal lung function and becomes dysregulated in disease. While alveolar type 2 (AT2) and club cells are known distal lung epithelial progenitors, determining if alveolar epithelial type 1 (AT1) cells also contribute to alveolar regeneration has been hampered by lack of highly specific mouse models labeling AT1 cells. To address this, the Gramd2CreERT2 transgenic strain was generated and crossed to ROSAmTmG mice. Extensive cellular characterization, including distal lung immunofluorescence and cytospin staining, confirmed that GRAMD2+ AT1 cells are highly enriched for green fluoresecent protein (GFP). Interestingly, Gramd2CreERT2 GFP+ cells were able to form colonies in organoid co-culture with Mlg fibroblasts. Temporal scRNAseq revealed that Gramd2+ AT1 cells transition through numerous intermediate lung epithelial cell states including basal, secretory and AT2 cell in organoids while acquiring proliferative capacity. Our results indicate that Gramd2+ AT1 cells are highly plastic suggesting they may contribute to alveolar regeneration.

Single-cell division tracing and transcriptomics reveal cell types and differentiation paths in the regenerating lung

Project description:Understanding the molecular and cellular processes involved in lung epithelial regeneration may fuel the development of therapeutic approaches for lung diseases. We combine mouse models allowing diphtheria toxin-mediated damage of specific epithelial cell types and parallel GFP-labeling of functionally dividing cells with single-cell transcriptomics to characterize the regeneration of the distal lung. We uncover cell types, including Krt13+ basal and Krt15+ club cells, detect an intermediate cell state between basal and goblet cells, reveal goblet cells as actively dividing progenitor cells, and provide evidence that adventitial fibroblasts act as supporting cells in epithelial regeneration. We also show that diphtheria toxin-expressing cells can persist in the lung, express specific inflammatory factors, and transcriptionally resemble a previously undescribed population in the lungs of COVID-19 patients. Our study provides a comprehensive single-cell atlas of the distal lung that characterizes early transcriptional and cellular responses to concise epithelial injury, encompassing proliferation, differentiation, and cell-to-cell interactions.

Single-cell transcriptional landscape of human embryonic limb development - Mouse

Project description:To investigate into the evolutionary conversation of the single-cell transcriptome of human fetal limbs, especially the principles of forelimb and hindlimb specification and proximal-distal axis establishment, we collected the forelimbs and hindlimbs of mouse embryos matching human samples. We dissected the limbs to separate proximal, middle and distal parts and generated single-cell RNA-seq data of more than 70,000 cells. Combining this dataset with our human data, we are able to see highly conserved limb cell types and limb axis drivers.
