Global gene expression analysis of human fibroblasts from whole body

ABSTRACT: Fibroblasts are the principal stromal cells that exist in whole organs and play vital roles in many biological processes. Although the functional diversity of fibroblasts has been estimated, a comprehensive analysis of fibroblasts from the whole body has not been performed and their phenotypical diversity has not been sufficiently explored. The aim of this study was to elucidate the phenotypical diversity of human fibroblasts within the whole body. Global gene expression analysis of 63 human primary fibroblasts from 13 organs elucidated that fibroblasts from the gastrointestinal tract showed a remarkably distinct character compared to that seen in other organs. Furthermore, gastrointestinal fibroblasts were created by topologically diverse subgroups of fibroblasts depending on their organ and histoanatomical site in the gastrointestinal walls.

Furthermore, gastrointestinal fibroblasts were created by topologically diverse subgroups of fibroblasts depending on their organ and histoanatomical site in the gastrointestinal walls. Global gene expression analysis was performed on 63 human primary fibroblasts from 13 anatomical organs. Of these, 32 fibroblasts from gastrointestinal organs were obtained from a pair of 2 histoanatomical sites, including the submucosal layer (submucosal fibroblasts: SMFs) and subperitoneal layer (subperitoneal fibroblasts: SPFs). Using hierarchical clustering analysis, identifiable phenotypical subgroups of fibroblasts were elucidated and the phenotypical character of each subgroup was analyzed.

Transcription profiling of human fibroblasts to examine diversity, topographic differentiation and positional memory

Project description:Diversity, Topographic Differentiation, and Positional Memory in Human Fibroblasts Howard Y. Chang, Jen-Tsan Chi, Sandrine Dudoit, Chanda Bondre, Matt van de Rijn, David Botstein, and Patrick O. Brown A fundamental feature of the architecture and functional design of vertebrate animals is a stroma, composed of xtracellular matrix and mesenchymal cells, which provides a structural scaffold and conduit for blood and lymphatic vessels, nerves, and leukocytes. Reciprocal interactions between mesenchymal and epithelial cells are known to play a critical role in orchestrating the development and morphogenesis of tissues and organs, but the roles played by specific stromal cells in controlling the design and function of tissues remain poorly understood. The principal cells of stromal tissue are called fibroblasts, a catch-all designation that belies their diversity. We characterized genome-wide patterns of gene expression in cultured fetal and adult human fibroblasts derived from skin at different anatomical sites. Fibroblasts from each site displayed distinct and characteristic transcriptional patterns, suggesting that fibroblasts at different locations in the body should be considered distinct differentiated cell types. Notablegroups of differentially expressed genes included some implicated in extracellular matrixsynthesis, lipid metabolism, and cell signaling pathways that control proliferation, cellmigration, and fate determination. Several genes implicated in genetic diseases werefound to be expressed in fibroblasts in an anatomic pattern that paralleled the phenotypicdefects. Finally, adult fibroblasts maintained key features of Hox gene expressionpatterns established during embryogenesis, suggesting that Hox genes may directtopographic differentiation and underlie the detailed positional memory in fibroblasts.

Single-cell RNA-seq of mouse peripheral iNKT cells

Project description:Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT) cells are differently distributed in various immune organs. However, it remains unclear whether iNKT cells exhibit phenotypical and functional differences in different peripheral organs and how thymic iNKT migrate to peripheral organs. Hence, characterizing iNKT cells in peripheral organs is important.

Target-agnostic discovery of Rett Syndrome therapeutics by coupling computational network analysis and CRISPR-enabled in vivo disease modeling

Project description:It is difficult to develop effective treatments for neurodevelopmental genetic disorders, such as Rett syndrome, which are caused by a single gene mutation but trigger changes in numerous other genes, and thereby also severely impair functions of organs beyond the central nervous system (CNS). This challenge is further complicated by the lack of sufficiently broad and biologically relevant drug screens, and the inherent complexity in identifying clinically relevant targets responsible for diverse phenotypes. Here, we combined human gene regulatory network-based computational drug prediction with in vivo screening in a population-level diversity, CRISPR-edited, Xenopus laevis tadpole model of Rett syndrome to carry out target-agnostic drug discovery, which rapidly led to the identification of the FDA-approved drug vorinostat as a potential repurposing candidate. Vorinostat broadly improved both CNS and non-CNS (e.g., gastrointestinal, respiratory, inflammatory) abnormalities in a pre-clinical mouse model of Rett syndrome. This is the first Rett syndrome treatment to demonstrate pre-clinical efficacy across multiple organ systems when dosed after the onset of symptoms, and network analysis revealed a putative therapeutic mechanism for its cross-organ normalizing effects based on its impact on acetylation metabolism and post-translational modifications of microtubules.

Transcription profiling of zebrafish ovary, testis, brain, kidney and whole body to identify gonad-expressed genes and their expression in various organs

Project description:Our knowledge about the molecular regulation of zebrafish gonad development and function is very limited. This study aims to identify gonad-expressed genes in zebrafish and to analyze their expression in various organs. Using our custom ÂGonad Uniclone Microarray v1, we performed a total of 32 hybridizations, using eight target organs with four biological replicates each. The target organs consisted of adult ovary and testis; the brain, kidney and rest-of-body (ie. whole body except the three organs listed earlier) from both male and female zebrafish, were used as controls. For simplicity, rest of body will be regarded as an organ. All targets were hybridized against a pooled common reference consisting of equal amounts of targets from all dissected organs from a single adult male and a single adult female.

Single-cell analysis uncovers inter- and intra-organ fibroblast heterogeneity and provides criteria for fibroblast identification and discrimination from vascular mural cells [heart]

Project description:Many important cell types in adult vertebrates have a mesenchymal origin, including fibroblasts and vascular mural cells (pericytes and smooth muscle cells). Although their biological importance is undisputed, the level of mesenchymal cell heterogeneity within and between organs, while appreciated, has not been analysed in detail. Here, we compare single-cell transcriptional profiles of fibroblasts and vascular mural cells across four murine muscular organs: heart, skeletal muscle, intestine and bladder. We reveal gene expression signatures that demarcate fibroblasts from mural cells across these four as well as other organs and provide molecular signatures for cell subtype identification. Striking inter- and intra-organ heterogeneity and specialization were observed amongst the fibroblasts, primarily reflecting differences in the expression of extracellular matrix components. In comparison, mural cells appeared more homogenous. Fibroblast subtypes localize to discrete anatomical positions in all four organs, offering novel predictions about physiological function(s) and regulatory signalling circuits. Our data shed new light on the diversity and relationships between hitherto poorly defined classes of cells and provide a foundation for improved understanding of their roles in physiological and pathological processes.
