Spatial transcriptomics of the distal lung bronchioles unravel the mechanisms underlying epithelial desquamation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)

ABSTRACT: One histopathological hallmark seen in end-stage IPF within the distal bronchioles is epithelial desquamation, a process in which the epithelial cells detach from their basement membrane. We performed spatial transcriptomics to profile the distal bronchiolar epithelium of the IPF lung and compared it to healthy lung bronchiolar epithelium. Our analysis has revealed crucial pathways leading to epithelial desquamation.

Effect of knockdown of junctional genes JUP and PLEC on Small Airway Epithelial Cells (SAECs) in the context of epithelial desquamation in distal bronchioles of Idiopathic Pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients

Project description:JUP and PLEC are downregulated in the distal bronchioles of IPF patients. To understand the relevance of this in the epithelial sloughing (desquamation) phenotype observed in distal bronchioles of IPF patients, we knockeddown JUP and PLEC in small airway epithelial cells thats are isolated from distal bronchioles of human airway epithelium (Lonza). Bulk RNA sequencing of JUP vs Scrambled and PLEC vs Scrambled were performed. The transriptomic data suggests that JUP transcriptionally regulates the matrix synthesis and the transcription of other junctional genes in SAECs. However, no significant effect of PLEC knockdown on transcription of matrix genes, a significant reduction in junctional gene transcripts were observed in PLEC knockdown. These findings suggest that JUP and PLEC may play key roles in the regulation of epithelial integrity during homeostasis, and when desrupted can lead to epithelial desquamation.

Single cell RNA Sequencing Identifies G-protein Coupled Receptor 87 as a Basal Cell Marker Expressed in Distal Honeycomb Cysts in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Project description:Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating and life-threatening lung disease characterized by epithelial reprogramming and increased extracellular matrix deposition leading to loss of lung function. A prominent histopathological structure in the IPF lung are aberrant bronchioles filled with mucus, referred to as honeycomb cysts. These heterogeneous bronchiolized areas feature clusters of simple epithelium with Keratin (KRT)5+ basal-like cells interspersed with pseudostratified epithelium containing differentiated, hyperplastic epithelial cells as well as aberrant ciliated cells. Recent single-cell RNA sequencing studies of the lung epithelium shed further light into cellular subtypes unique to IPF, including basaloid KRT5-/KRT17+ cells present in the distal lung. However, IPF distal bronchiole cell subtypes still remain poorly characterized and their disease contribution remains underinvestigated. Using single-cell RNA sequencing of enriched EpCAM+ lung cells of the distal IPF lung, we identified G-protein coupled receptor (GPR) 87, as a marker of distal bronchioles and KRT5+ IPF basal cells contributing to impaired airway differentiation and honeycombing.

Human IPF and control lungs LC-MSMS

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive interstitial lung disease characterized by patchy scarring of the distal lung with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. Here, we show that conditional deletion of the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-2 in lung epithelial cells in adult mice produces chronic lung disease that shares key features with IPF including progressive fibrosis and bronchiolization with increased expression of Muc5b in peripheral airways, honeycombing and characteristic alterations in the lung proteome

Bronchiolar progenitors and club cells in mouse lung

Project description:Gene expression patterns of bronchiolar progenitors and club cells in mouse lung were examined by microarray experiments. Although it has not yet been fully characterized, a subset of epithelial cells lining bronchioles are best understood as bronchiolar progenitors that self-renew over the long term and that can differentiate into more differentiated club cells and ciliated cells. The bronchiolar progenitors are distinct from club cells and characteristically express the alveolar type 2 cell marker, prosurfactant protein C, with lower levels of club cell secretory protein/Scgb1a1. There are also functional differences between them; while club cells can be depleted by naphthalene because of the abundance of cytochrome P450 enzyme Cyp2f2, bronchiolar progenitors are resistant to naphthalene-induced depletion because of defects in the enzyme.

The profile of miRNAs in lung fibroblast-derived extracellular vesicles from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients or non-IPF individuals.

Project description:Accelerated senescence in lung epithelial cells is known to play a key role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, the exact mechanisms underlying the IPF-related epithelial cell phenotype have yet to be elucidated. Increasing evidence supports the concept that extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, mediate intercellular communication that contributes to diverse aspects of physiology and pathogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that lung fibroblasts (LFs) from IPF patients accelerate epithelial cell senescence via EV-mediated transfer of LF-derived pathogenic cargo to lung epithelial cells. Mechanistically, IPF LF-derived EVs increase mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) and associated mitochondrial damage in lung epithelial cells, leading to mtROS-mediated activation of the DNA damage response and subsequent epithelial cell senescence. We show that IPF LF-derived EVs contain elevated levels of miR-23b-3p and miR-494-3p that are responsible for suppressing SIRT3, resulting in the EV-induced phenotypic changes of lung epithelial cells. Furthermore, we observe that miR-23b-3p and miR-494-3p expression increases in lung epithelial cells from IPF patients’ lungs. Finally, the levels of miR-23b-3p and 494-3p found in IPF LF-derived EVs correlate positively with IPF disease severity. These findings reveal that the accelerated epithelial cell mitochondrial damage and senescence observed during IPF pathogenesis are caused by a novel mechanism in which SIRT3 is suppressed by miR-containing EVs derived from IPF fibroblasts.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a disease related to AT2 cell. We used flow cytometry to analyze the epithelial component of donor and IPF lungs. From the live cells, we first excluded the CD31PosCD45Pos and then selected the EPCAMPos cells for further analysis using the human AT2 cell marker HTll-280 and the surface marker PD-L1. Our data indicate that, the bona fide differentiated AT2 cells (HTll-280High PD-L1Neg), were drastically reduced in the context of IPF. More interestingly, the number of HTll-280Low/Neg PD-L1High was drastically increased, suggesting that HTll-280Low PD-L1High epithelial cells could represent a pool of progenitors linked to the deficient AT2 lineage. The aim of this experiment is further characterization of AT2 and PDL1+ cells in donor and IPF.

Gene expression signatures for Normal-looking, fibrotic foci and hyperplastic (adjacent to fibrotic foci) area in IPF lungs

Project description:To further understand the pathologic microenvironment in IPF, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to distinguish normal and IPF lung in normal-looking, fibrotic foci and hyperplastic areas of IPF lung. Four IPF lungs were dissected into normal-looking, fibrotic foci and hyperplastic areas by Laser-Capture-Microdissection. Gene expression analysis showed that 638 significantly different genes were identified that clearly distinguished the different IPF microenvironments . Among them, MMP19 was revealed as one of the most significantly up-regulated genes that distinguished normal looking epithelial cells (N) to hyperplastic epithelial cells, MMP19 up-regulation in IPF lungs was verified by immunohistochemical (IHC), qRT-PCR and Western-blot. IPF lungs are heterogeneity complex, which comprise normal looking area, fibrotic foci and hyperplastic area. In this study we separated the normal, fibrotic foci and hyperplastic area by LCM and employed Agilent whole genome gene expression microarray profiling to identify genes with the potential to distinguish the unique microenironment of IPF

The ferret bleomycin-induced model of lung fibrosis shares features of human idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:In the present study, we report a bleomycin-induced ferret PF model characterized by an irreversible decrease in pulmonary compliance and increase of opacification, accompanied by “honeycomb cyst-like” structures, “proximalization” of distal lung epithelium. Cellular and molecular analysis by single-nucleus RNA sequencing analysis revealed a significant shift in distal lung epithelium towards proximal epithelial phenotype. Importantly, a histopathological pattern of bronchiolization encompassing divergent atypical epithelial cells, and KRT17+/TP63+/KRT5low “basaloid-like” cells, were present in the distal fibrotic lung lesions. Trajectory analysis revealed AT2 cells transition through multiple cell-states in bleomycin injured ferret lungs, particularly AT2 to KRT8high/KRT7low/SOX4+ to eventual KRT8high/KRT7high/SFN+/TP63+/KRT5low “basaloid-like” cells. Further, immunofluorescence analyses demonstrated KRT7 and KRT8 populations reside in close proximity to the ACTA2 positive myofibroblasts in fibrotic foci thereby driving fibrogenic phenotype in bleomycin injured ferret lungs. Collectively, our results provide evidence that the bleomycin ferrets can reproduce pathophysiological, cellular, and molecular features of human IPF disease, suggesting that they may be a reliable model for understanding mechanisms of IPF pathogenesis and for testing therapeutic strategies for treatment of IPF.
