Activation of Notch1 and Notch3 Skews Human Airway Basal Cell Differentiation Toward a Secretory Pathway

ABSTRACT: Airway basal cells (BC) function as progenitor cells capable of differentiating into ciliated and secretory cells to replenish the airway epithelium during physiological turnover and repair. The objective of this study was to define the role of Notch signaling in regulating human airway BC differentiation into a pseudostratified mucociliated epithelium. Notch inhibition with γ-secretase inhibitors demonstrated Notch activation is essential for BC differentiation into secre-tory cells and ciliated cells, but more so for the secretory lineage. Sustained Notch activation via lentivirus expression of the intracellular domain of each Notch receptor (NICD1-4) demonstrated that the Notch 2 and 4 pathways have little effect on BC differentiation, while activation of the Notch1 or 3 pathways has a major influence, with persistent expression of NICD1 or 3 resulting in a skewing toward secretory cell differentiation with a parallel decrease in ciliated cell differentiation. These observations provide insights into the control of the balance of BC differentiation into the secretory vs ciliated cell lineage, a balance that is critical for maintaining the normal function of the airway epithelium in barrier defense against the inhaled environment.

JAG1 Mediated Notch Signaling Regulates Secretory Cell Differentiation of the Human Airway Epithelium

Project description:Background: Basal cells (BC) are the stem/progenitor cells of the human airway epithelium capable of differentiating into secretory and ciliated cells. Notch signaling activation increases BC differentiation into secretory cells, but the role of individual Notch ligands in regulating this process is unknown Results: The objective of this study was to define the role of the Notch ligand JAG1 in regulating BC differentiation. JAG1 over-expression in BC increased secretory cell differentiation, with no effect on ciliated cell differentiation. Conversely, knockdown of JAG1 decreased expression of secretory cell genes. Conclusions: These data demonstrate JAG1 mediated Notch signaling regulates differentiation of BC into secretory cells. This study demonstrates that expression of the Notch ligand JAG1 is highly enriched in basal stem/progenitor cells (BC) of the human airway epithelium and that modulation of its expression levels during differentiation of BC play an important role in regulating secretory cell differentiation with no effect on ciliated cell differentiation. These observations have implications for developing novel targets to specifically modulate levels of secretory cells in human airway disorders.

MicroRNA signature during the time course of regeneration of the human airway mucociliary epithelium

Project description:The regeneration of the airway mucociliary epithelium involves several sequential events including migration, proliferation, polarization and final differentiation (i.e ciliogenesis). The airway mucociliary epithelium is consituted of three main cell types : ciliated cells, secretory cells and basal cells. We used microRNA microrrays to investigate the signature of microRNA during the four step of regeneration of the airway epithelium. Four time points (ALI-D0, ALI-D7, ALI-D14, ALI-D21) of regeneration of the airway epithelium for 3 donors.

Effects of Myb shRNA on Airway Epithelial Cells

Project description:The epithelium of the pulmonary airway is specially differentiated to provide defense against environmental insults, but also subject to dysregulated differentiation that results in lung disease. The current paradigm for airway epithelial differentiation is a one-step program whereby a p63+ basal epithelial progenitor cell generates a ciliated or secretory cell lineage, but the cue for this transition and whether there are intermediate steps is poorly defined. Here we identify transcription factor Myb as a key regulator that permits early multilineage differentiation of airway epithelial cells. Myb+ cells were identified as p63– and therefore distinct from basal progenitor cells, but were still negative for markers of differentiation. Myb RNAi treatment of primary-culture airway epithelial cells and Myb gene deletion in mice resulted in a p63– population with failed maturation of Foxj1+ ciliated cells, as well as Scbg1a1+ and Muc5ac+ secretory cells. Consistent with these findings, analysis of whole genome expression of Myb-deficient cells identified Myb-dependent programs for ciliated and secretory cell differentiation. Myb+ cells were rare in human airways but were increased in regions of ciliated cells and mucous cell hyperplasia in samples from subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Together, the results show that a p63– Myb+ population of airway epithelial cells represents a distinct intermediate stage of differentiation that is required under normal conditions and may be heightened in airway disease. 12 samples, 2x2 factorial design, factor 1: time (days post-ALI), factor 2:shRNA (Myb vs Scrambled Control), performed in triplicate (biological replicates)

The NOTCH3 Downstream Target HEYL Is Required for Efficient Human Airway Basal Cell Differentiation [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Basal cells (BC) are the resident stem/progenitor cells of the adult pseudostratified airway epithelium, whose differentiation program is orchestrated by the NOTCH signaling pathway. NOTCH3 receptor mediated signaling regulates BC to club cell differentiation; however, the downstream responses that regulate this process are largely unknown. In the present study we utilized an in vitro air-liquid interface model of the human pseudostratified airway epithelium to identify the NOTCH3-dependent downstream genes/pathways that regulate human BC to club cell differentiation. Activation of NOTCH3 signaling in BC via lentivirus-mediated over-expression of the active NOTCH3 intracellular domain (NICD3) promoted club cell differentiation. Bulk RNA-seq analysis of control vs NICD3 -transduced cells, identified 692 NICD3 responsive genes enriched for pathways linked to airway epithelial biology and differentiation including Wnt/β-catenin Signaling. Expression of the classical NOTCH target HEYL increased in response to NOTCH3 activation and positively correlated with the club cell marker SCGB1A1. Further, using single-cell RNA-seq, we report that HEYL+ cells primarily clustered with SCGB1A1+ and NOTCH3+ cells. Moreover, HEYL protein co-localized with SCGB1A1 in ALI cultures in vitro and in the human and mouse airway epithelium in vivo. siRNA-mediated knockdown of HEYL in BC led to changes in epithelial structure including altered morphology and significant reductions in transepithelial electrical resistance and expression of tight junction related genes. Finally, HEYL knockdown significantly reduced the number of SCGB1A1+ club cells, along with a corresponding increase in KRT8+ BC-intermediate cells. Overall, our data identifies NOTCH3-HEYL signaling as a key regulator of BC to club cell differentiation.
