Single-cell RNA sequencing of bronchoalveolar lavage cells from mouse

ABSTRACT: Fibrosis is commonly viewed as a pathological endpoint of persistent tissue injury and failed repair. Yet chronically injured tissues do not scar uniformly, indicating that local adaptive programs can buffer tissue stress and preserve structural integrity. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) preferentially initiates within the subpleural region, but the cellular programs that bias subpleural remodeling toward fibrotic progression or preservation remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified a spatially restricted population of enlarged, lipid-laden alveolar macrophages located at the subpleural border, which we termed border-associated alveolar macrophages (BAAMs). Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of BALF cells from fibrotic lungs provided insight into BAAMs as a transcriptionally distinct protective alveolar macrophage population.

Smart-seq profiling of border-associated alveolar macrophages in fibrotic mouse lungs

Project description:Fibrosis is commonly viewed as a pathological endpoint of persistent tissue injury and failed repair. Yet chronically injured tissues do not scar uniformly, indicating that local adaptive programs can buffer tissue stress and preserve structural integrity. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) preferentially initiates within the subpleural region, but the cellular programs that bias subpleural remodeling toward fibrotic progression or preservation remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified a spatially restricted population of enlarged, lipid-laden alveolar macrophages located at the subpleural border, which we termed border-associated alveolar macrophages (BAAMs). Smart-seq profiling of sorted alveolar macrophage (AM) populations from fibrotic lungs identified a discrete set of functional genes defined as the BAAM transcriptional signature.

Single Cell Analysis of Pulmonary Fibrosis

Project description:<p>Pulmonary fibrosis is a heterogenous syndrome in which fibrotic scar replaces normal lung tissue. We performed massively parallel single-cell RNA-Seq on lung tissue from eight lung transplant donors and eight patients with pulmonary fibrosis. Combined with in situ RNA hybridization, with amplification, these data provide a molecular atlas of disease pathobiology. We identified a distinct, novel population of profibrotic alveolar macrophages exclusively in patients with fibrosis. Within epithelial cells, the expression of genes involved in Wnt secretion and response was restricted to non-overlapping cells. We identified rare cell populations including airway stem cells and senescent cells emerging during pulmonary fibrosis. Analysis of a cryobiopsy specimen from a patient with early disease supports the clinical application of single-cell RNA-Seq to develop personalized approaches to therapy.</p>

Ontogeny of alveolar macrophages is a critical determinant of function during lung fibrosis [RNA-seq]

Project description:Little is known about the relative importance of monocyte and tissue-resident macrophages in the development of lung fibrosis. We show that specific genetic deletion of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages after their recruitment to the lung ameliorated lung fibrosis, whereas tissue-resident alveolar macrophages did not contribute to fibrosis. Using transcriptomic profiling of flow-sorted cells, we found that monocyte to alveolar macrophage differentiation unfolds continuously over the course of fibrosis and its resolution. During the fibrotic phase, monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages differ significantly from tissue-resident alveolar macrophages in their expression of profibrotic genes. A population of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages persisted in the lung for one year after the resolution of fibrosis, where they became increasingly similar to tissue-resident alveolar macrophages. Human homologues of profibrotic genes expressed by mouse monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages during fibrosis were up-regulated in human alveolar macrophages from fibrotic compared with normal lungs. Our findings suggest that selectively targeting alveolar macrophage differentiation within the lung may ameliorate fibrosis without the adverse consequences associated with global monocyte or tissue-resident alveolar macrophage depletion.

Bronchoalveolar lavage of healthy human adults

Project description:Rationale: Airspace macrophages are the most abundant cell in airspaces and are viewed as a homogeneous population during health. Single cell RNA sequencing allows for examination of transcriptional heterogeneity between cells and between individuals. Understanding the conserved repertoire of airspace leukocytes during health is essential to understanding cellular programing during disease. Objective: We sought to determine the transcriptional heterogeneity of human bronchoalveolar lavage cells in healthy adults. Methods: Ten healthy subjects underwent bronchoscopy. Cells obtained from lavage fluid were subjected to single cell RNA sequencing. Unique cell populations and putative functions were identified. Transcriptional profiles were compared across individuals. Measurements and Main Results: Based on transcriptional profiling we identify highly conserved macrophage, monocyte-like, lymphocyte, dendritic cell, and cycling cell populations. We define two unique subgroups of resident airspace macrophages - one defined by a pro-inflammatory profile and one by metallothionein gene expression. We identify distinct subsets of monocyte-like cells and directly compared them to peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Finally, we compare global macrophage and monocyte programing between male and female subjects. Conclusions: Healthy human airspaces contain multiple populations of leukocytes that are highly conserved between individuals and between the sexes. Resident macrophages comprise the largest population and include novel subsets defined by inflammatory and metal-binding gene signatures. Monocyte-like cells within the airspaces are transcriptionally distinct from circulating blood cells and include a rare population defined by expression of cell-matrix interaction genes. This study is the first to define airspace immune cell heterogeneity and identifies three previously unrecognized myeloid cell subsets.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis bronchoalveolar lavage cells RNA-seq indicates macrophage expression of pro-inflammatory M1/M2 activation concomitant with radical species metabolism inhibition

Project description:Current concepts of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are that microscopic injury drives alveolar epithelial cell dysregulated activation and epithelial mesenchymal transition, ensuing fibrocyte recruitment, fibroblast proliferation and ECM deposition. With the background that IPF is also characterized by chronic accumulation of activated alveolar macrophages (aMAC) in the lower respiratory tract, we assessed IPFaMAC gene expression to identify patterns of activation, by RNA-seq using Illumina platform. To this we evaluated a population of 7 normal smoking controls and 16 IPF smoking patients. All IPFs had abnormal lung function and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) showing >80% macrophage counts and augmented spontaneous O2 radical release. RNA was extracted from whole BAL cells. Reads were mapped onto the UCSC mRNA database (GRCh37/hg19 version), and transcripts were aggregated by gene symbol, obtaining a final 19,723 unique protein-coding gene ID list, used for further analysis.

Bronchoalveolar lavage alveolar macrophage subset transcriptomes in WT and NOX2-knockout mice

Project description:The leukocyte NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) plays a key role in pathogen killing and immunoregulation. Genetic defects in NOX2 result in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), associated with microbial infections and inflammatory disorders, often involving the lung. Alveolar macrophages (AM) are the predominant immune cell in the airways at steady state, and limiting their activation is important given constant exposure to inhaled materials, yet the importance of NOX2 in this process is not well-understood. Here, we show a previously undescribed role for NOX2 in maintaining lung homeostasis by suppressing AM activation, as studied using CGD mice or mice with selective loss of NOX2 primarily in macrophages. AM lacking NOX2 have increased cytokine responses to TLR2 and TLR4 stimulation ex vivo. Moreover, between 4 and 12 weeks of age, mice with global NOX2 deletion developed an activated CD11bhigh subset of AM with epigenetic and transcriptional profiles reflecting immune activation compared to WT AM. The presence of CD11bhigh AM in CGD mice correlated with increased numbers of alveolar neutrophils and proinflammatory cytokines at steady state as well as increased lung inflammation following insults. Moreover, deletion of NOX2 primarily in macrophages was sufficient for mice to develop an activated CD11bhigh AM subset and accompanying pro-inflammatory sequela. Additionally, we showed that the altered resident macrophage transcriptional profile in the absence of NOX2 is tissue-specific as these changes were not seen in resident peritoneal macrophages. Thus, these data demonstrate that absence of NOX2 in alveolar macrophages leads to their pro-inflammatory remodeling and dysregulates alveolar homeostasis.

Gene expression profiling on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells treated with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA)

Project description:All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is a potent retinoid, which has been used successfully in different clinical settings as a potential drug to treat COPD and emphysema. In alveolar macrophages, ATRA selectively down-regulates MMP-9 and up-regulates TIMP-1 expression. In the present study, we analyzed additional genes modulated by ATRA by performing mRNA expression array on alveolar macrophages after treatment with ATRA. Total RNA was isolated from BAL cells cultivated either in the presence of liposomal ATRA or left untreated for 3 days. Total RNA from five independent donors were pooled at 0.4 µg each to give a final amount of 2µg. This pooled RNA was used for microarray analysis using the Affymatrix array

DNA methylation profiles of cells commonly found in bronchoalveolar lavage

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of 4 cell populations purified from paediatic bronchoalveolar lavage samples. The cell types profiled are alveolar macrophages, granulocytes, lymphocytes and alveolar epithelial cells. Fluorescence-activated single cell sorting was used to purify the cell populations of interest using previously described methods (Shanthikumar, AJRCMB, 2020 ;63(2):152-159). Genome wide DNA methylation profiling was performed via the EPICArray. These data can be used for reference based deconvolution of cell proportion of bronchoalveolar lavage samples. DNA extracted from raw BAL (n=6) was also profiled using the EPICArray, allowing for validation of reference based deconvulution.

Mesenchymal stromal cells isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage and digest parenchymal lung tissue

Project description:Stromal support is critical to the achievement of lung homeostasis and the maintenance of an effective epithelial barrier, and yet previous studies have found a positive association between the number of mesenchymal stromal cell populations (MSCs) isolated from the alveolar space and human diseases associated with epithelial dysfunctional. We hypothesised that alveolar MSCs (A-MSCs) represent a dysfunctional population which would be distinct from lung tissue MSCs (LT-MSCs) and which would not be recoverable from healthy humans. In this study, we comprehensively interrogated the phenotype and transcriptome of human A-MSCs and LT-MSCs. We found that MSCs were rarely recoverable from the alveolar space in healthy humans, but were readily isolated from lung transplant recipients, where they expressed a CD90Hi, CD73Hi, CD45Neg, CD105Lo immunophenotype and were bipotent, lacking adipogenic potential. In contrast, MSCs were readily recoverable from healthy lung tissue and were CD90Hi or Lo, CD73Hi, CD45Neg, CD105Int and had full tri-lineage potential. Transcriptome profiling of the two populations confirmed their status as MSCs and revealed a high degree of similarity between each other and the archetypal bone-marrow MSC. 105 genes were differentially expressed, with genes involved in fibroblast activation, extracellular matrix deposition and tissue remodelling being up-regulated in A-MSCs. Finally, we found the fibroblast markers collagen 1 and Î±-smooth muscle actin was increased in A-MSCs. Our data suggest that in healthy humans, lung MSCs reside within the tissue, but in disease can differentiate to acquire a profibrotic phenotype and so move out of their niche into the alveolar space. Total RNA obtained from in vitro expanded MSCs (p2-4)
