Highlights of Tuft Cells in Mouse and Human Salivary Glands

ABSTRACT: Tuft cells (TCs) are rare chemosensory epithelial cells that regulate mucosal homeostasis in several organs, but their role in salivary glands (SGs) remains unclear. This study investigated TC features in both mouse and human SGs. In mouse samples, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), histological analysis, bulk RNA-sequencing and proteomic analyses were performed on submandibular glands (SMGs) from female and male C57BL/6J (wild-type) and C57BL/6J-Pou2f3-/- mice, which lack TCs. Moreover, human minor SG biopsies were evaluated by immunostaining and Poisson regression to identify clinical, serological, and histopathological features correlated with TC abundance. TEM analysis confirmed conserved TC ultrastructure—apical microvilli, a tubulovesicular system, and cytospinules—in both female and male mouse SMGs. Moreover, TC loss was associated with sex-specific transcriptional remodeling (1742 differentially expressed genes in females versus 175 in males), morphological alterations and sex-specific saliva proteomic remodeling. In human minor SG biopsies, TC counts were correlated with salivary flow, serological and histopathology features. In summary, these findings suggest that TCs are regulators of epithelial integrity and potential biomarkers of SG dysfunction.

Retinoic acid and FGF10 promote the differentiation of mESCs into induced embryonic salivary glands

Project description:Salivary glands produce saliva and play essential roles in digestion and oral health. Pluripotent stem cell-derived (PSC) organoids provide a powerful platform for studying salivary gland development and developing new regenerative therapy. The previous protocol of PSC-derived salivary gland organoids required complicated manufacturing processes, which hampered the organoids for basic research and clinical application.Here, by mimicking the regulatory mechanism of developing salivary glands, we reported the differentiation of induced embryonic salivary glands (iE-SGs) from mouse embryonic stem cells by step-wise treatment of retinoic acid and FGF10. We showed that the iE-SGs recapitulated early morphogenetic events, including the thickening and invagination of the salivary gland placode, and then formed initial buds. The iE-SGs also differentiated into developing ducts structures and could develop to striated and excretory ducts when transplanted in vivo. RNA- seq revealed that iE-SGs had gene expression profiles similar to mouse embryonic SMGs. Thus, our study provided an easy and safe method to generate iE-SGs and offered possibilities for studying events during salivary gland morphogenesis in vitro

Paracrine stimulation effect of human salispheres on mouse salivary gland

Project description:Human salispheres, a culture of stem/progenitor cells, represent a potential therapy for radiation induced hyposalivation. Radiation-induced hyposalivation dramatically reduces quality of life of patients. We have demonstrated the potential of human salispheres to engraft and differentiate when transplanted into a mouse model of hyposalivation, in the manuscript associated with these data. We also demonstrate the functional recovery of irradiated salivary glands (SGs) following human salisphere transplantation, by the measurement of saliva production. When analyzing human salisphere- transplanted SGs for the presence of human cells, we noted that the highest proportion of human cells were present 1 week after transplantation. This microarray study was designed to determine if paracrine signaling from transplanted human salisphere cells to recipient mouse SGs accounts for a part of the functional recovery of the recipient SG we observe. We compare the transcriptome from irradiated control SG of immunecompromised NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ (NSG) mice with that of NSG SGs transplanted with 100,000 human salisphere cells. All mice were sacrificed 1 week following transplantation (or non-transplantation in case of controls) and Illumina array chips used to detect differences in gene expression. 6 samples were analysed in total. Total RNA from 3 irradiated control SGs (5Gy irradiation) and 3 salivary glands transplanted with 100,000 human salispheres.

The transcriptome of paired major and minor salivary gland tissue in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome

Project description:While all salivary glands (SGs) can be involved in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), their respective role in pathogenesis remains unclear. To assess immunopathway activation in paired parotid and labial gland tissue from biopsy-positive and biopsy-negative pSS and non-SS sicca patients, paraffin-embedded, paired parotid and labial salivary gland tissue and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained from 39 pSS and 20 non-SS sicca patients. The patients were subdivided based on fulfillment of ACR-EULAR criteria and histopathology and the samples were analyzed for differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The principal component analysis of SG gene expression could only separate biopsy-positive pSS from non-SS sicca patients. However, when comparing the transcriptome of biopsy-positive pSS and biopsy-negative non-SS sicca patients, 1235 and 624 DEGs (FDR<-1 or >1) were identified for parotid and labial glands, respectively. The number of DEGs between biopsy negative pSS and non-SS sicca patients was scarce. The overall, transcript expression levels correlated strongly between parotid and labial glands (R2=0.86, p‐value<0.0001). Gene signatures present in both glands of biopsy‐positive pSS patients included IFN‐α signaling, IL-12/IL-18 signaling, CD3/CD28 T-cell activation, CD40 signaling in B-cells, DN2 B-cells, and FcRL4+ B-cells. Signature scores varied considerably amongst pSS patients. In conclusion, the transcriptomes of paired major and minor SGs in pSS were overall comparable, although significant inter-individual heterogeneity in immunopathway activation existed. The SG transcriptome of biopsy-negative pSS was indistinguishable from non-SS sicca patients. The different patterns of SG immunopathway activation in pSS argue for personalized treatment approaches.

Paracrine stimulation effect of autologous salispheres on mouse salivary gland

Project description:Human salispheres, a culture of stem/progenitor cells, represent a potential therapy for radiation induced hyposalivation. Radiation-induced hyposalivation dramatically reduces quality of life of patients. We have demonstrated the potential of human salispheres to engraft and differentiate when transplanted into a mouse model of hyposalivation, in the manuscript associated with these data. We also demonstrate the functional recovery of irradiated salivary glands (SGs) following human salisphere transplantation, by the measurement of saliva production. We previously employed Illumina microarrays to determine if transplanted human salisphere cells exert a paracrine stimulatory effect on recipient mouse SGs. Results of this array unveiled a large cohort of immuneresponse genes unregulated following human salisphere transplantation. In order to negate this immune response and unveil any true paracrein stimulatory effects, we performed autologous transplantation of salispheres from NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ (NSG) mice, the same model employed in our first microarray study, in the irradiated SGs of NSG mice. 6 samples were analysed in total. Total RNA from 3 irradiated control SGs (5Gy irradiation) and 3 salivary glands transplanted with 100,000 NSG salispheres.

Laser Capture Microdissection-based RNAseq for Profiling Mouse and Human Sebaceous Gland Transcriptomes

Project description:We describe the use of laser capture microdissection (LCM) to isolate human and murine sebaceous glands (SGs) for transcriptomic analysis and publish this SG transcriptomic data for reference. We show that compared to whole skin RNA sequencing, LCM RNA sequencing allows for high resolution in identifying and describing SG genes at homeostasis. Lastly, we compare this LCM of sebaceous glands to published SG clusters from single cell RNA sequencing of skin, and show that we achieve greater resolution and depth with the LCM approach.

E2F Deregulation Compromises ER homeostasis by Attenuating IRE1 Activity

Project description:The E2F family of transcription factors is an essential regulator of the cell cycle across all metazoan and is often deregulated in cancer. While their primary function is in cell cycle control, E2Fs also influence various cellular processes, such as apoptosis and metabolism. Previous studies in mice have shown that E2F deregulation particularly affect exocrine tissues such as the salivary gland and pancrease. However, the mechanisms behind exocrine cell sensitivity to E2F loss remain inadequately explored. Our lab recently discovered a novel alternatively spliced isoform of Drosophila de2f1, de2f1b, with an additional 16 amino acids than the canonical isoform of de2f1, de2f1a. de2f1b mutants have defects in development of polyploid tissues such as larval salivary glands (SG). Interestingly, SGs of de2f1b mutant shows DNA damage, accumulate cytoplasmic DNA and activation of immune response. This RNA-seq study is to create a gene expression profile of the de2f1b SGs to get a comprehensive understanding of the effects of de2f1b mutation in exocrine tissues.

Dissection by single-cell RNA-sequencing of the cellular composition of mouse salivary gland epithelia (wild-type and irradiated).

Project description:The major salivary glands (SG) are exocrine glands responsible for the physiological production of saliva, a sero-mucinous fluid that plays a key role in the digestion and swallowing of food, the articulation of speech and the maintenance of oral hygene. Among the principal causes of SG dysfunction is radiation treatment of head-and-neck malignancies, which can cause severe damage to multiple cell-types within the SG epithelium, resulting in permanent loss of saliva production and substantial disability. The aim of this study is to analyze the cellular composition of the mouse SG epithelium using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) in order to: 1) gain a deeper understanding of the rich repertoire of different epithelial cell-types that coexist witin it; and 2) to elucidate whether different sub-types of epithelial cells display different radiosensitivity and are preferentially elimininated from SGs following radiotherapy. The dataset includes data from scRNAseq experiments performed on the epithelial compartment (Epcam+) of mouse adult sub-mandibular glands (C57BL/6J, female), either at baseline (wild type) or following stereotactic X-ray irradiation (30 Gy). In the specific case of wild-type mice, the dataset also includes data from a secind scRNAseq experiment performed on the basal compartment (Epcam+, Cd49f-high) of the sub-mandibular gland, which is postulated to contain a minority population of epithelial cells with stem-progenitor properties.
