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.

Project description:Following lung injury, alveolar regeneration is characterized by the transformation of alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells, via a transitional KRT8+ state, into alveolar type 1 (AT1) cells. In lung disease, dysfunctional intermediate cells accumulate, AT1 cells are diminished and fibrosis occurs. Using single cell RNA sequencing datasets of human interstitial lung disease, we found that interleukin-11 (IL11) is specifically expressed in aberrant KRT8 expressing KRT5-/KRT17+ and basaloid cells. Stimulation of AT2 cells with IL11 or TGFβ1 caused EMT, induced KRT8+ and stalled AT1 differentiation, with TGFβ1 effects being IL11 dependent. In bleomycin injured mouse lung, IL11 was increased in AT2-derived KRT8+ cells and deletion of Il11ra1 in lineage labeled AT2 cells reduced KRT8+ expression, enhanced AT1 differentiation and promoted alveolar regeneration, which was replicated in therapeutic studies using anti-IL11. These data show that IL11 maintains AT2 cells in a dysfunctional transitional state, impairs AT1 differentiation and blocks alveolar regeneration across species.

In lung disease, dysfunctional intermediate cells accumulate, AT2 and AT1 cells are diminished and fibrosis occurs. Using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets of human interstitial lung disease, we found that Interleukin-11 (IL11) is specifically expressed in aberrant KRT8 expressing KRT5-/KRT17+ epithelial cells and basaloid cells. Stimulation of AT2 cells and distal airway epithelial cells with IL11 or TGFβ1 caused epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), induced extracellular matrix (ECM) production, increased KRT8 expression and stalled AT2-to-AT1 differentiation, with TGFβ1 effects being partially IL11 dependent. In bleomycin injured mouse lung, IL11 was increased in AT2-derived Krt8+ transitional cells and deletion of Il11ra1 in AT2 lineage cells prevented the accumulation of Krt8+ transitional cells, enhanced AT1 differentiation and promoted alveolar regeneration, which was replicated in therapeutic studies using anti-IL11 antibodies. scRNA-seq analysis of lung epithelial cells from mice with deletion of Il11ra1 in AT2 lineage cells further identified the importance of IL11 signaling for the potentiation and polarization of a disease-causing, ECM producing KRT8+ transitional cells that contributes to pathological lung remodeling. Overall, our data show that IL11 maintains damaged AT2 cells in a transitional state, impairs reparative AT1 differentiation and impairs endogenous alveolar regeneration to cause fibrotic lung disease.

Project description:Alveolar epithelial cell fate decisions drive lung development and regeneration. Using transcriptomic and epigenetic profiling coupled with genetic mouse and organoid models, we identified Klf5 as a critical regulator of alveolar epithelial cell fate across the lifespan. During prenatal lung development and alveologenesis, Klf5 enforces alveolar epithelial type 1 (AT1) cell lineage fidelity. While it is dispensable for both adult AT1 and alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cell homeostasis, Klf5 regulates AT2 cell plasticity after injury. Klf5 represses AT2 cell proliferation and enhances AT2-AT1 cell differentiation in a spatially restricted manner in both infectious and non-infectious models of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Moreover, ex vivo organoid assays reveal that Klf5 modulates AT2 cell fate decisions through reducing AT2 cell sensitivity to inflammatory signaling. These data highlight a major transcriptional regulator of AT1 cell lineage commitment and of the AT2 cell response to inflammatory crosstalk during lung regeneration.

Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. TP53 tumor suppressor gene mutations occur in 50% of lung adenocarcinomas (LUADs) and are linked to poor prognosis, but how p53 suppresses LUAD development remains enigmatic. We show here that p53 suppresses LUAD by governing cell state, by promoting alveolar type 1 (AT1) differentiation. Using mice expressing oncogenic Kras and null, wild-type, or hypermorphic p53 alleles in alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells, we observed graded effects of p53 on LUAD initiation and progression. RNA-sequencing and ATAC-sequencing of LUAD cells uncovered a p53-induced AT1 differentiation program during tumor suppression in vivo through direct DNA binding, chromatin remodeling, and AT1 gene induction. Single-cell transcriptomics analyses revealed that during LUAD evolution, p53 promotes AT1 differentiation through action in a transitional cell state analogous to a transient intermediary seen during AT2-to-AT1 differentiation in alveolar injury repair. Notably, p53 inactivation resulted in the inappropriate persistence of these transitional cancer cells accompanied by upregulated growth signaling and divergence from lung lineage identity, characteristics associated with LUAD progression. Analysis of p53wt and p53-null mice showed that p53 also directs alveolar regeneration after injury, by regulating AT2 self-renewal and promoting transitional cell differentiation into AT1 cells. Collectively, these findings illuminate mechanisms of p53-mediated LUAD suppression, in which p53 governs alveolar differentiation, and suggest that tumor suppression reflects a fundamental role of p53 in orchestrating tissue repair after injury.
