LAM cell mTOR dysregulation induces IL6 and paracrine AT2 cell senescence impeding lung repair in lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

ABSTRACT: LAM is a rare disease which causes lung cysts and respiratory failure. TSC2 deficient ‘LAM cells’ with dysregulated mTOR signalling form nodules with fibroblasts causing lung injury. We examined if mTOR dysregulation could induce senescence and impair responses to lung injury. Senescence markers p21 and p16 were increased in LAM lungs and co-localised with alveolar type 2 cells. The SenMayo senescence gene panel was upregulated in LAM alveolar type 2 cells with senescence supressed by mTOR inhibition in patients. LAM cell / fibroblast spheroid cultures induced senescence markers in alveolar type 2 cell organoids, altered their growth and delayed epithelial scratch wound repair. Upstream regulator analysis predicted alveolar type 2 cell IL6 receptor activation. IL6 was produced by LAM cells, was overexpressed in LAM serum and related to lung function, induced p16 and p21 in alveolar type 2 cells and inhibited epithelial wound resolution. Wound repair in the presence of TSC2 null but not TSC2 addback LAM cell / fibroblast spheroids was enhanced by the IL6 receptor antagonist Tocilizumab. Our findings show TSC2 loss induces senescence and IL6 production which are associated with impaired lung repair. Targeting IL6 signalling in parallel with mTOR inhibition, may reduce lung damage in LAM.

Investigation of the gene expression changes triggered by the lung mesenchymal Tsc2KO in each major cell subpopulation of the adult mouse lung

Project description:Tumor suppressor Tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2) is a key negative regulator of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a central controller of cell growth and metabolism in health and disease. Loss of TSC2 induces the constitutive activation of mTORC1 in rare lung disease pulmonary Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), which affects only women of childbearing age and characterized by lung destruction and progressive loss of pulmonary function. Little is known how TSC2 loss induces LAM and what is the LAM cell of origin. To determine cell-type specific effects of TSC2 loss and mTORC1 activation on lung homeostasis we generated new transgenic mice with targeted Tsc2 deletion in lung mesenchyme Tbx4-Cre+Tsc2flox/flox and lung epithelium Shh-Cre+Tsc2flox/flox. Both Tbx4-Cre+, Tsc2flox/flox and Shh-Cre+, Tsc2flox/flox mice were viable and fertile. Adult Tbx4-Cre+Tsc2flox/flox mice demonstrated mTORC1 activation in lung mesenchyme, progressive alveolar enlargement, female-specific pulmonary function decline and prgenancy-induced lesion growth. To investigate molecular mechanism underlying observed phenotypic changes in the Tsc2KO lungs we performed comparative bulk-RNAseq analysis of the gene expression changes in the major cell subpopulations of the adult female 8-week-old Tsc2KO mouse lungs compared to the age- and sex-matched WT controls.

Expression data from LAM-associated fibroblasts and normal human lung fibroblasts co-cultured with TSC2-/- 621-101 cells

Project description:Patients with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) develop nodules of cells within the lung parenchyma. These lesions contain both TSC2-/- LAM cells, and wild type fibroblasts. We investigated the effect of TSC2-/- cells on the transcriptional profile of both normal fibroblasts and fibroblasts isolated from LAM patient tissue (LAFs) using Affymetrix Gene Chip arrays, to identify upregulated pathways which could contribute to LAM pathology. We used Affymetrix microarrays to detail the changes in the global profile of gene expression in fibroblasts following co-culture with 621-101 cells, and identified upregulation of several chemokines, indicating that the fibroblasts had adopted an inflammatory phenotype.

Transcriptomic Differences Associated with TSC2 Gene Expression Loss in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis [human cells]

Project description:Pulmonary Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease that affects predominantly women, is characterized by proliferation of smooth muscle-like cells in the lungs, destruction of lung tissue, upregulation of VEGF-D, and growth of lymphatic vessels inducing a loss of pulmonary function. TSC2 gene mutations that render TSC2 inactive are a common finding associated with LAM. To better understand the function of the TSC2 gene in LAM , we sought to characterize differences in the transcriptome of cells where TSC2 is inactivated. RNA-Seq was used to measure transcript expression differences between a human TSC2-null angiolipoma cell line derived from an individual with LAM, and the same cell line with re-expressed TSC2 to serve as a control. The Illumina TruSeq method was used to prepare poly(A)-selected stranded RNA-Seq libraries, and 100bp paired-end reads were generated with an Illumina Hi-Seq 2500 instrument in high output mode. RNA-Seq data was analyzed using kallisto (http://pachterlab.github.io/kallisto/) and R.

Identification of the lymphangioleiomyomatosis cell and its uterine origin

Project description:Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a metastasizing neoplasm of reproductive age women which causes cystic lung remodeling and progressive respiratory failure. While LAM lesions are known to contain abnormal smooth muscle-like cells which harbor mTOR activating mutations in TSC1 or TSC2, the tissue origins of the mutant “LAM cells” that invade the lung remain unclear. By employing single cell and single nuclear RNA sequencing on explanted LAM lungs, we identified a unique population of cells and associated signature genes and gene networks which were readily distinguished from those of endogenous lung cells. These unique LAMCORE cells shared closest transcriptomic similarity to normal uterus and share transcriptomic features with neural crest, as identified in uterine LAM lesions by single nuclear RNA-seq. Immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated the expression of LAMCORE cell signature genes within LAM lesions in both lung and uterus. Serum aptamer proteomics and ELISA identified biomarkers consistent with the signature genes expressed and predicted to be secreted by LAMCORE cells. Single cell transcriptomics strongly supports a uterine neural crest origin of LAMCORE cells; providing insights into disease pathogenesis and informing future treatment strategies for LAM.

Rapamycin-insensitive up-regulation of MMP2 and other genes in TSC2- deficient LAM-like cells

Project description:Rationale: Increased matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). Objectives: To investigate how TSC1 or TSC2 deficiency alters MMP expression and regulation. Methods: We studied immortalized cells that lack TSC2 derived from an angiomyolipoma (AML) of a LAM patient, and a TSC2 add back derivative; and murine embryonic fibroblast cells that lack Tsc1 or Tsc2 and respective controls. Global gene expression analysis was carried out in the AML and derivative cell lines. MMP levels in the conditioned media from these cells were analyzed by zymography and ELISA. Measurements and Main Results: We found increased MMP-2 expression in cells lacking TSC1/TSC2 compared to their respective controls by zymography. MMP-2 overproduction by these cells was not affected by rapamycin treatment. Gene expression analysis confirmed increased MMP-2 gene expression that was not affected by rapamycin. Furthermore, multiple other genes were found to be over-expressed in rapamycin-treated TSC2-deficient cells compared to TSC2+ cells. Conclusions: We conclude that TSC1/TSC2 deficiency leads to MMP-2 overproduction that is rapamycin insensitive, and that several genes exhibit similar patterns suggesting TSC1/TSC2 dependent but mTOR independent pathways may be involved in the pathogenesis of LAM.

Involvement and targeting of CD206+ macrophages in lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

Project description:Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a very rare disease affecting women of childbearing age, either sporadically or in association with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The proliferation of TSC2 null LAM cells in the lung results in cystic destruction, airflow obstruction, respiratory insufficiency and eventually death. In the LAM lung, the tumor immune microenvironment (TME) plays a role in the progression of LAM lesions. Macrophages can be polarized into inflammatory M1 macrophages or protumorigenic immunosuppressive M2 macrophages. Macrophages are an important component of the TME, and we hypothesized that CD206+ M2 macrophages could facilitate LAM progression and represent a potential therapeutic target.

Estrogen and mTORC1 dependent genes in the uterus of uterine-specific Tsc2-null mice

Project description:To uncover genes regulated by mTORC1 and estradiol in uterine Tsc2-null LAM like cells, we performed RNAseq on uteri from 12-week old wild-type (WT) and uterine-specific Tsc2-null (KO) mice that were either untreated (intact), oopherectomized (ovx) or oopherectomized + treated with 17Î²-estradiol pellets (E2) for 8 weeks. We identified genes that were both estradiol- and TSC2-mediated. Uterine mRNA profiles of 12 week old wild type (WT) and uterine-specific Tsc2-null (KO) mice in the presence or absence of estradiol were generated using Illumina HiSeq2500

Transcript profiling of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) nodules in Human Patients

Project description:Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is characterized by cystic lung destruction caused by smooth, muscle-like LAM cells which have mutations in the tumor suppressor genes Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) 1 or 2, and the capacity to metastasize. Since chemokines and their receptors function in chemotaxis of metastatic cells, we hypothesized that LAM cells may be recruited by chemokine(s) in the lung. Quantification of 25 chemokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from LAM patients and healthy volunteers revealed that concentrations of MCP-1/CCL2, GROa/CXCL1 and ENA-78/CXCL5 were significantly higher in samples from LAM patients than healthy volunteers. In this transcript analysis, expression of chemokine and chemokine receptor mRNA in LAM cells differed from those in melanoma and smooth muscle cells. Subsequent immunohistochemistry of lung sections from 30 LAM patients confirmed protein expression of chemokines and these receptors varied among LAM patient and differed from that seen in breast cancer and melanoma cells. . In vitro, MCP-1/CCL2 induced selective migration of cells showing loss of heterozygosity of TSC2 from a heterogeneous populations of cells grown from explanted LAM lungs. In addition, the frequencies of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the MCP-1 gene promoter region differed significantly in LAM patients and healthy volunteers (p=0.018), and one polymorphism was associated significantly more frequently with the decline of lung function. These observations are consistent with the notion that chemokines such as MCP-1 may serve to specify site of LAM cell metastasis. Keywords: Human patient sample comparison with cell lines The study is of case/control design with biological replication. Biopsies of nodules from 14 LAM patients (cases) are compared with cultured cell lines (controls) with similar properties.
