Cell fate specification during respiratory development requires ARID1A-containing canonical BAF complex activity

ABSTRACT: Mammalian lung development requires coordinated gene regulation to drive lung bud formation, branching morphogenesis, proximal-distal patterning, and epithelial specification. While key transcriptional and signaling regulators are known, the epigenetic regulators are less well studied. Here, we identify the canonical BAF complex as essential for lung epithelial development. Complete loss of BAF complex causes failure of lung formation, and selective deletion of ARID1A leads to loss of distal patterning and reduced alveolar type 1 (AT1) cell differentiation, with emergence of a highly proliferative cell state defined by joint activation of YAP and WNT signaling and loss of BMP response. Epigenomic analyses demonstrate broad failure of cell type-specific enhancer activation. Notably, exogenous BMP4 rescues distal differentiation in embryonic murine lung organoids, while YAP and WNT signaling require functional BAF complex. These data demonstrate a requirement for BAF complex activity during lung epithelial development and reveal a surprising differential specificity between signaling pathways.

Transcriptome data of mouse distal lung epithelial cells with different Wnt/β-catenin activity

Project description:Wnt/β-catenin signaling regulates progenitor cell fate decisions during lung development and in various adult tissues. Ectopic activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling promotes tissue repair in emphysema, a devastating lung disease with progressive loss of parenchymal lung tissue. The identity of Wnt/β-catenin responsive progenitor cells and the potential impact of Wnt/β-catenin signaling on adult distal lung epithelial progenitor cell function in emphysema, are poorly understood. Here, we used a TCF/Lef:H2B/GFP reporter mice to investigate the role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in lung organoid formation. We identified an organoid-forming adult distal lung epithelial progenitor cell population characterized by a low Wnt/β-catenin activity, which was enriched in club and alveolar epithelial type (AT)II cells. To further characterize the lung epithelial populations with different Wnt activities, we perform microarray analysis using freshly isolated Wnthigh/low/negative lung epithelial cells to study their transcriptome, specially the enriched genes and signaling pathways in the Wnt low population related epithelial stem cell functions.

Smad1 and its target gene Wif1 coordinate BMP and Wnt signaling activities to regulate lung development

Project description:Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) is essential for lung development. To define its intracellular signaling mechanisms by which BMP4 regulates lung development, BMP-specific Smad1 or Smad5 was selectively knocked out in fetal mouse lung epithelial cells. Abrogation of lung epithelial-specific Smad1, but not Smad5, resulted in retardation of lung branching morphogenesis and reduced sacculation, accompanied by altered distal lung epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation, and consequently severe neonatal respiratory failure. By combining cDNA microarray with ChIP-chip analyses, Wnt inhibitory factor-1 (Wif1) was identified as a novel target gene of Smad1 in the developing mouse lung epithelial cells. Loss of Smad1 transcriptional activation of Wif1 expression was associated with reduced Wif1 expression and increased Wnt/beta-catenin signaling activity in lung epithelia, resulting in specific fetal lung abnormalities. Therefore, a novel regulatory loop of BMP4-Smad1-Wif1-Wnt/beta-catenin in coordinating BMP and Wnt pathways to control fetal lung development is suggested. mRNA profiling: Total RNA was isolated from left lobe lungs of three pair of E18.5 wild type and Smad1 lung epithelium-specific conditional knockout mice

Transcription profiling ofmouse wild type and GATA6 null lung

Project description:Epithelial organs including the lung are known to possess regenerative abilities through activation of endogenous stem cell populations but the molecular pathways regulating stem cell expansion and regeneration are not well understood. Here we show that Gata6 regulates the temporal appearance and number of bronchioalveolar stem cells (BASCs) in the lung leading to the precocious appearance of BASCs and concurrent loss in epithelial differentiation in Gata6 null lung epithelium. This expansion of BASCs is the result of a dramatic increase in canonical Wnt signaling in lung epithelium upon loss of Gata6. Expression of the non-canonical Wnt receptor Fzd2 is down-regulated in Gata6 mutants and increased Fzd2 or decreased Î²-catenin expression rescues, in part, the lung epithelial defects in Gata6 mutants. During lung epithelial regeneration, we show that canonical Wnt signaling is activated in the niche containing BASCs and forced activation of Wnt signaling leads to a dramatic increase in BASC numbers. Moreover, Gata6 is required for proper lung epithelial regeneration and postnatal loss of Gata6 leads to increased BASC expansion and decreased differentiation. Together, these data demonstrate that Gata6 regulated Wnt signaling controls the balance between stem/progenitor expansion and epithelial differentiation required for both lung development and regeneration. Experiment Overall Design: 3 replicates of each condition-wild-type and GATA6 null tissue. 6 total samples.

RNA-seq analysis of E18.5 mouse embryonic lungs reveals impaired saccular maturation and airway differentiation in Svep1 knockout embryos

Project description:Loss of Svep1, an extracellular matrix protein, leads to severe defects in airway patterning and alveolar differentiation during lung development. To investigate transcriptional changes associated with impaired saccular maturation, we performed bulk RNA sequencing of whole lungs isolated from wild-type (Svep1+/+) and homozygous knockout (Svep1-/-) mouse embryos at embryonic day 18.5 (E18.5), corresponding to the saccular stage of lung development. Differential gene expression analysis revealed dysregulation of pathways related to extracellular matrix organization, smooth muscle differentiation, epithelial maturation, and FGF signaling. These data provide insight into how loss of Svep1 disrupts coordinated epithelial–mesenchymal interactions required for normal distal lung development.

Hmga2 is required for canonical WNT signaling during lung development

Project description:The high-mobility-group (HMG) proteins are the most abundant non-histone chromatin-associated proteins. Here we deciphered the role of the high mobility group AT-hook protein 2 (HMGA2) during lung development by analyzing the lung of Hmga2 deficient mice (Hmga2-/-).We found that Hmga2 is expressed in the mouse embryonic lung at the distal airways. Analysis of Hmga2-/- mice showed that Hmga2 is required for proper cell proliferation and distal epithelium differentiation during embryonic lung development. Hmga2 knockout (KO) led to enhanced canonical WNT signaling due to an increased expression of secreted WNT glycoproteins Wnt2b, Wnt7b and Wnt11 as well as a reduction of the WNT signaling antagonizing proteins GATA6 (GATA binding protein 6) and FZD2 (frizzled homolog 2). Comparison of Hmga2-/- with Hmga2+/+ mice by Affymetrix microarray-based expression analysis of embryonic lung revealed an increased expression of genes whose products participate in cell cycle and canonical Wnt signaling. Affymetrix microarray transcriptome analysis of Hmga2-/- and Hmga2+/+ embryonic lung (E18.5) was performed and analyzed

Effects of mitochondrial stress on intestinal tumor development depends on Apc status

Project description:Mitochondrial stress triggers both metabolic and transcriptomic reprogramming but its effects on tumor development remains unclear. It is also unknown whether the genetic status has any influence on the capacity of mitochondrial stress to control tumor development. To explore these issues, we generated a mouse model lacking the lipid transfer protein Stard7 in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and assessed tumor development in both Wnt-dependent tumor initiation and in inflammation-driven tumor development. The loss of Stard7 in both models of intestinal tumors impaired mitochondrial Complex I activity, led to a severe metabolic and lipidomic reprogramming and potentiated mTORC1 activation. As a result, levels of enzymes involved in serine biosynthesis were enhanced in Stard7-deficient IECs showing or not constitutive Wnt signaling. Strikingly, despite similar molecular signatures upon Stard7 deficiency in intestinal crypts showing or not constitutive Wnt signaling, Stard7 contributed to tumor development in AOM/DSS-treated mice but inhibits Wnt-driven cancer initiation in the intestine. Apc+/min mice lacking Stard7 in IECs developed more tumors in the distal colon as well as a specific microbiota signature. Collectively, our results suggest that the Apc genetic status critically controls the effects of mitochondrial stress on intestinal tumor development.

YAP/TAZ activity in PDGFRa-expressing alveolar fibroblasts modulates lung fibroblast-epithelial cell crosstalk through Wnt4 [scRNA-seq]

Project description:The Hippo signaling pathway, mediated by its transcriptional effectors YAP and TAZ, play vital roles in maintaining lung homeostasis and facilitating injury repair. While the roles of the Hippo pathway in epithelial cells are well-established, its regulatory effects on lung fibroblasts remain less understood. Here, we engineered a novel mouse allele to allow inducible knockdown of YAP and TAZ, and show that fibroblast-specific knockdown enhances the ability of PDGFRa+ alveolar fibroblasts to support organoids derived from alveolar epithelial stem cells in vitro. Single-cell multiomic profiling revealed changes in fibroblast subpopulations, including the emergence of an Mmp9+ cluster containing Wnt4+ cells. Analyses demonstrated shifts in the epigenomic landscape leading to varied enrichment of transcription factor motifs across both fibroblasts and epithelial cells in response to targeted suppression of YAP/TAZ in fibroblasts. Further computational analyses identified an increase in epithelial Wnt signaling which was confirmed by in vivo studies. We found that Wnt4 expression was increased in PDGFRa-lineage+ fibroblasts and enhanced proliferation of SPC+ AT2 cells following fibroblast-specific YAP/TAZ knockdown. These results shed new light on the mechanistic role of YAP/TAZ in PDGFRa+ alveolar fibroblasts in supporting AT2 cell maintenance and proliferation via Wnt4 secretion.
