Characterization of quiescent adult liver stem cells and downstream lineages [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Understanding the liver stem cells (LSCs) holds great promise for new insights into liver diseases and liver regeneration. By employing single-cell RNA-seq technology with weighted gene co-expression network analyses (WGCNA), we examined transcriptome features of distinct Krt19 lineage-tracing cell types isolated from Krt19CreERT; Rosa26R-GFP reporter mice, and identified gene expression signatures of quiescent and active adult LSCs, as well as their downstream lineage-restricted progenitors and terminally differentiation hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. Importantly, we discovered a novel cell surface LSC marker, CD63, as well as CD56, which distinguished active and quiescent LSCs. Furthermore, we confirmed that CD63+CD56- quiescent LSCs resided in Canals of Hering and peribiliary glands and that these cells could be activated by a combined action of VEGF and bFGF, and subsequently underwent terminal differentiation. These findings define an authentic adult liver stem cells compartment and highlight its contribution to liver homeostasis during pathophysiologic processes.

Intraepithelial papillary neoplasia in the biliary tree is mediated by FGF10 signal

Project description:The new concept of neoplastic lesion of biliary tree, Biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) and intraductal papillary neoplasm of bile duct (IPNB), as a conunterpart of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), have been reported to be precancerous lesions in hilar and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and arise from lining bile duct epithelium and peribiliary gland (PBG) under inflammation microenvironment in human. However, mouse model is lacking different from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma arised from canal of Hering in the liver. In a Doxycyclin-controlled transgenic mouse model of BilIN and IPNB, overexpression of Fibroblast Growth Factor 10 (FGF10) phenocopies human pathology with mutistep progression of cholangiocarcinogenesis in chronic cholangitis. The development and branching morphogenesis of BilIN and IPNB was induced by Fgf10/Erk signal and inhibited by MEK inhibiter. Pdx1+ PBG cells present in IPNB were able to lineage trace the early IPNB lesion as well as Krt19+ cholangiocytes. BiliN and IPNB with Kras mutation was irreversible different from no Kras mutation, and loss of p16 contributed to malignant transformation of BilIN and IPNB. Our data challenge the common paradigms regarding the pathogenesis of BilIN and IPNB.

Discrete limbal epithelial stem cell populations mediate corneal homeostasis and wound healing

Project description:Stem cells (SCs) are traditionally viewed as rare, slow-cycling cells that follow deterministic rules dictating their self-renewal or differentiation. It was several decades ago, when limbal epithelial SCs (LSCs) that regenerate the corneal epithelium were among the first sporadic, quiescent SCs ever discovered. However, LSC dynamics, heterogeneity and genetic signature are largely unknown. Moreover, recent accumulating evidence strongly suggested that epithelial SCs are actually abundant, frequently dividing cells that display stochastic behavior. In this work, we combined single-cell RNA sequencing and advanced quantitative lineage tracing for in-depth analysis of the murine limbal epithelium. The generated data provides an atlas of cell states of the entire corneal epithelial lineage and reveales the co-existence of two novel LSC populations that reside in separate and well-defined sub-compartments. In the “outer” limbus, we discovered a primitive widespread population of quiescent LSCs (qLSCs) that uniformly express Krt15/Gpha2/Ifitm3/Cd63 proteins that serve as SC reservoire and in boundary formation. In the “inner” peri-corneal limbus, we identified prevalent active LSCs (aLSCs) that express Krt15-GFP/Atf3/Mt1-2/Socs3 and maintain homeostasis. We propose that these SC populations are abundant, follow stochastic rules and neutral drift dynamics. Notably, we provide evidence that T cells serve as niche cells for qLSCs, regulating quiescence and wound response. Taken together, we propose that divergent regenerative strategies are tailored to properly support tissue specific physiological constraints.

Microarray data of human MLLr AML cells with or without CD93 expression

Project description:Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) share several crucial properties with hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) including self-renewal, cell cycle quiescence, and expression of a CD34+CD38- immunophenotype, which complicates efforts to eradicate AML by therapeutically targeting LSCs without adversely affecting HSCs. Here we report that CD93, a C-type lectin transmembrane receptor, is preferentially expressed on the cell surface of LSCs compared with HSCs in the genetic subtype of AML with genomic rearrangements of the MLL gene. LSCs that selectively express CD93 are actively cycling, and highly enriched for xeno-engraftment potential, yet comprise a minor component of an otherwise quiescent CD34+CD38- compartment of human AML. Notably, CD93 is required for LSC function in MLL leukemogenesis, and is not simply a passive surface marker co-expressed on LSCs. Thus, CD93 selectively marks and essentially maintains LSCs, and identifies them as predominantly cycling, non-quiescent leukemia-initiating cells in MLL-rearranged AML.

RNA sequencing based comparative analysis of human hepatic progenitor cells and their niche from alcoholic steatohepatitis livers

Project description:Hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) are small cells with a relative large oval nucleus and a scanty cytoplasm situated in the canals of Hering, that express markers of (immature) hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. HPCs are present in large numbers in alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH), one of the leading causes of chronic liver disease. To date, the mechanisms responsible for proliferation and differentiation of human HPCs are still poorly understood and the role of HPCs in ASH development is unknown. In this study, we aimed to characterise human HPCs and their interactions with other cells through comparison, on both protein and RNA level, of HPC-enriched cell populations from adult human liver tissue using different isolation methods. Fresh human liver tissue was collected from ASH explant livers and HPC-enriched cell populations were obtained via three different isolation methods: side population (SP), EpCAM and TROP-2 membrane marker isolation. Gene expression profiles of fluorescent activated cell sorted HPCs, whole liver extracts and laser microdissected HPC niches were determined by RNA sequencing. Immunohistochemical evaluation of the isolated populations indicated the enrichment of HPCs in the SP, EpCAM+ and TROP-2+ cell populations. Pathway analysis of the transcription profiles of human HPCs showed an enrichment and activation of known HPC pathways like Wnt/β-catenin, TWEAK and HGF. Integration of the HPC niche profile suggests autocrine signalling by HPCs (TNF, PDGFB and VEGFA) as well as paracrine signalling from the surrounding niche cells including MIF and IGF-1. In addition, we identified IL-17A signalling as a potentially novel pathway in HPC biology. In conclusion, we provide the first RNA-seq based, comparative transcriptome analysis of isolated human HPCs from ASH patients and revealed active signalling between HPCs and their surrounding niche cells in ASH livers and suggest that HPCs can actively contribute to liver inflammation.

Cell quiescence and reprogramming are distinctive features of pre-leukemic stem cells [RNA-seq CTV]

Project description:The leukemic stem cell concept is well established in B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). However, the question of how a primary oncogene reprograms stem cell-like properties in committed B-cells and leads to a pre-neoplastic population remains unclear. Here, we used the PAX5-ELN oncogenic model to demonstrate a causal link between the differentiation blockade, the self-renewal and the emergence of pre-leukemic stem cells (pre-LSCs). Through multi-parametric immunophenotyping, we show that PAX5-ELN oncoprotein disrupts the differentiation of pre-leukemic cells by enforcing the IL7r/JAK-STAT signaling pathway. This disruption is associated with the induction of rare and quiescent pre-LSCs that sustain the leukemia-initiating activity, as assessed using the H2B-GFP model. Integration of transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility data reveals that those quiescent pre-LSCs lose B-cell identity and reactivate an immature molecular program, reminiscent of human B-ALL chemo-resistant cells. Collectively, our study sheds new lights on the biological mechanisms underlying the cell-of-origin of leukemia. We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of quiescent, slowly prolfierative or highly proliferative B-cells coming from WT or PEtg mice.

Tetraspanin CD63 acts as a pro-metastatic factor via β-catenin stabilization

Project description:The tetraspanin CD63 is implicated in pro-metastatic signaling pathways, but so far, it is unclear how CD63 levels affect the tumor cell phenotype. Here, we investigated the effect of CD63 modulation in different metastatic tumor cell lines. In vitro, knock down of CD63 induced a more epithelial-like phenotype concomitant with increased E-cadherin expression, downregulation of its repressors Slug and Zeb1, and decreased N-cadherin. In addition, β-catenin protein was markedly reduced, negatively affecting expression of the target genes MMP-2 and PAI-1. β-catenin inhibitors mimicked the epithelial phenotype induced by CD63 knock down. Inhibition of β-catenin upstream regulators PI3K/AKT or GSK3β could rescue the mesenchymal phenotype underlining the importance of the β-catenin pathway in CD63-regulated cell plasticity. CD63 knock down-induced phenotypical changes correlated with a decrease of experimental metastasis, while CD63 overexpression enhanced the tumor cell-intrinsic metastatic potential. Taken together, our data show that CD63 is a crucial player in the regulation of the tumor cell-intrinsic metastatic potential by affecting cell plasticity. Stable knock down of CD63 was performed in SKOV3ipL ovarian carcinoma cell line using 2 shRNAs lentiviral constructs (sh49 and sh51), and as a negative control, a shNT construct. Parental cells, control shNT and the 2 shCD63 cell lines were seeded 24 hours prior to RNA isolation on a 10 cm dish, labelling and hybridization on microarrays. One color experiment with 2 biological replicates of the 4 experimental conditions: SKOV3ipL, SKOV3ipL_shNT, SKOV3ipL_sh49 and SKOV3ipL_sh51.
