Single-cell RNA-seq analysis unveils a prevalent epithelial/mesenchymal hybrid state during mouse organogenesis

ABSTRACT: Background: Organogenesis is crucial for proper organ formation during mammalian embryonic development. However, the similarities and shared features between different organs and the cellular heterogeneity during this process at single-cell resolution remain elusive. Results: We perform single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of 1,916 individual cells from eight organs and tissues of E9.5 to E11.5 mouse embryos, namely, the forebrain, hindbrain, skin, heart, somite, lung, liver, and intestine. Based on the regulatory activities rather than the expression patterns, all cells analyzed can be well classified into four major groups with epithelial, mesodermal, hematopoietic and neuronal identities. For different organs within the same group, the similarities and differences of their features and developmental paths are revealed and reconstructed. Conclusions: We identify mutual interactions between epithelial and mesenchymal cells and detect epithelial cells with prevalent mesenchymal features during organogenesis, which are similar to the features of intermediate epithelial/mesenchymal cells during tumorigenesis. The comprehensive transcriptome at single-cell resolution profiled in our study paves the way for future mechanistic studies of the gene- regulatory networks governing mammalian organogenesis.

Selvaggio2020 - Microenvironment control of hybrid Epithelial-Mesenchymal phenotypes

Project description:Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) has been associated with cancer cell heterogeneity, plasticity and metastasis. It has been the subject of several modeling effort. This logical model of the EMT cellular network aims to assess microenvironmental signals controlling cancer-associated phenotypes amid the EMT continuum. Its outcomes relate to the qualitative degrees of cell adhesions by adherent junctions and focal adhesions, two features affected during EMT. Model attractors recover epithelial, mesenchymal and hybrid phenotypes, and simulations show that hybrid phenotypes may arise through independent molecular paths, involving stringent extrinsic signals. Of particular interest, model predictions and their experimental validations indicated that: 1) ECM stiffening is a prerequisite for cells overactivating FAK-SRC to upregulate SNAIL1 and acquire a mesenchymal phenotype, and 2) FAK-SRC inhibition of cell-cell contacts through the Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphates kappa leads to the acquisition of a full mesenchymal rather than a hybrid phenotype.

Organogenetic transcriptomes of the Drosophila embryo at single cell resolution

Project description:To gain insight into the transcription programs activated during organogenesis of Drosophila larval structures, we carried out single cell RNA sequencing during two periods of Drosophila embryogenesis: stages 10 – 12, when most organs are first specified and initiate morphological and physiological specialization, and stages 13 – 16, when organs have achieved their final mature architectures and are beginning to function.

Patterning the embryonic pulmonary mesenchyme

Project description:Smooth muscle guides morphogenesis of epithelia during development of several organs, including the mammalian lung. However, it remains unclear how airway smooth-muscle differentiation is spatiotemporally patterned and whether it originates from distinct mesenchymal progenitors. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing of embryonic mouse lungs, we show that the pulmonary mesenchyme contains a continuum of cell identities, but no distinct progenitors. Transcriptional variability correlates with sub-epithelial and sub-mesothelial mesenchymal compartments that are regulated by Wnt signaling. Live-imaging and tension sensors reveal patterned migratory behaviors and cortical forces in each compartment, and show that sub-epithelial mesenchyme gives rise to airway smooth muscle. Differentiation trajectory reconstruction reveals that cytoskeleton, adhesion, and Wnt signaling pathways are activated early in differentiation. Finally, we show that Wnt activation stimulates the earliest stages of differentiation and induces local accumulation of mesenchymal F-actin, which influences epithelial morphology. Our work provides the first single-cell view of pulmonary mesenchymal patterning during branching morphogenesis.

Single-cell transcriptomic atlas of mouse gingival stroma in homeostasis and inflammation

Project description:The onset of periodontitis involves the response of gingival stroma to inflammatory stimulus. The cell constitution of gingival stroma, however, has never been mapped at the resolution of single cell. In this study, we used single-cell mRNA sequencing to establish cell atlas in mouse gingival stroma. Epithelial, mesenchymal, pericyte and neuronal clusters were successfully identified and their subpopulation and response to ligature-induced inflammation were also examined. While shifts in epithelial cell gene profile and proportion recapitulated the epithelium breakdown during periodontitis, mesenchymal cluster maintained its proportion and gene expression patterns.

The dynamic transcriptional landscape of mammalian organogenesis at single cell resolution

Project description:During mammalian organogenesis, the cells of the three germ layers transform into an embryo that includes most major internal and external organs. The key regulators of developmental defects can be studied during this crucial period, but conventional approaches lack the throughput and resolution to obtain a global view of the molecular states and trajectories of a rapidly diversifying and expanding number of cell types. Here we set out to investigate the transcriptional dynamics of mouse development during organogenesis at single cell resolution. With an improved single cell combinatorial indexing-based protocol (‘sci-RNA-seq3’), we profiled over 2 million cells derived from 61 mouse embryos staged between 9.5 and 13.5 days of gestation (E9.5 to E13.5; 10 to 15 replicates per timepoint). We identify hundreds of expanding, contracting and transient cell types, many of which are only detected because of the depth of cellular coverage obtained here, and define the corresponding sets of cell type-specific marker genes, several of which we validate by whole mount in situ hybridization. We explore the dynamics of proliferation and gene expression within cell types over time, including focused analyses of the apical ectodermal ridge, limb mesenchyme and skeletal muscle. With a new algorithm (Monocle 3), we identify the major single cell developmental trajectories of mouse organogenesis, and within these discover examples of distinct paths to the same endpoint, i.e. branching and convergence. These data comprise a foundational resource for mammalian developmental biology, and are made available in a way that will facilitate their ongoing annotation by the research community.

Identification of genes expressed in a mesenchymal subset regulating prostate organogenesis using tissue and single cell transcriptomics

Project description:Prostate organogenesis involves epithelial growth in response to inductive signalling from specialised subsets of mesenchyme. To identify regulators and morphogens active in mesenchyme, we performed transcriptomic analysis using Tag-seq, RNA-seq, and single cell RNA-seq and defined new mesenchymal subsets and markers. We documented transcript expression using Tag-seq and RNA-seq in female rat Ventral Mesenchymal Pad (VMP) as well as adjacent urethra comprised of smooth muscle and peri-urethral mesenchyme. Transcripts enriched in VMP were identified in Tag-seq data from microdissected tissue, and RNA-seq data derived from cell populations and single cells. We identified 400 transcripts as enriched or specific to the VMP using bio-informatic comparisons of Tag-seq and RNA-seq data. Comparison with single cell RNA-seq identified transcripts yielded 45 transcriptscommon to both approaches. Cell subset analysis showed that VMP and adjacent mesenchyme were composed of distinct cell types and that each tissue was comprised of two subgroups. Markers for these subgroups were highly subset specific. Thirteen transcripts were validated by qPCR to confirm cell specific expression in microdissected tissues, as well as expression in neonatal prostate. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that Ebf3 and Meis2 showed a restricted expression pattern in VMP condensed mesenchyme. Taken together, we demonstrate that the VMP shows limited cellular heterogeneity and that our high-resolution transcriptomic analysis identified new mesenchymal subset markers associated with prostate organogenesis.

Thymic epithelial cells induce formation of mesenchymal network structure after abrogation of thymic crosstalk

Project description:In the earliest step of thymic organogenesis, mesenchymal cells support the growth of thymic epithelial cells (TECs). It is established that TECs and thymocytes influence each other for their growth/differentiation, a process called thymic crosstalk. However, little is known about the influence of developing thymocytes or TECs on mesenchymal cells. Here, we show that during normal thymus development fibroblast ingrowth occurs towards hypoxic areas. Similar overgrowth of mesenchymal cells is seen in a fetal thymic organ culture system under low oxygen conditions. However, when thymocytes were depleted by deoxyguanosine treatment, mesenchymal cells were also induced, precluding the direct effect of hypoxia. In the fetal thymus of hCD3εTg mice, which lack T lineage cells, an overgrowth of mesenchymal cells can be seen at a very early stage of thymic organogenesis. The growth of the mesenchymal cells is due to extensive proliferation and not mere enrichment. With RNA sequencing analysis comparing hCD3εTg with wild type TECs, we identified candidate factors that could be involved in mesenchymal network formation.

Regan2022 - Mechanosensitive EMT model

Project description:This file contains a 136-node modular Boolean network model of EMT triggered by biomechanical and growth signaling crosstalk, linked to a published network of epithelial contact inhibition, proliferation, and apoptosis (MODEL2006170001). This model reproduces the ability of the core EMT transcriptional network to maintain distinct epithelial, hybrid E/M and mesenchymal states, as well as EMT driven by mitogens such as EGF on stiff ECM. We also reproduce the observed lack of stepwise MET, in that our model's dynamics does not pass through the hybrid E/M state during MET. We show that in the absence of strong autocrine signals such as TGFβ (not included in this version), cells cannot maintain their mesenchymal state in the absence of mitogens, on softer matrices, or at high cell density.
