Fra-2 negatively regulates postnatal alveolar septation by modulating myofibroblast function

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Compare the transciptome between lung myofibroblasts that contituatively express Fra-2 to control lung myofibroblasts to determine genes that may contribute to regulation of secondary alveolar septation Methods: mRNa sequences from lung myofibroblasts isolated from mutant mice that contituatively express Fra-2 in α-SMA expressing cells (sma-Fra2) were compared to control mice. n=4 in each group Results: 43,432 transcripts wre analyzed and 361 genes were differentially expressed in the smaFra2 mice compared to wild type control. Functional analysis was performed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. Changes in genes from lung myofibroblasts in smaFra2 mice: genes involved with extracellular matrix and cell adhesion were upregulated; Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase family member 2 (Enpp2) and LPA receptor1 (LPA1) were downregulated. Coclusion: The secondary alveolar septation defect in smaFra2 mice could be explaned by Fra-2 mediated changes in extracellular matrix and cell adhesion in developing lung myofibroblasts.

Smooth-muscle-cell differentiation in airways

Project description:This experiment was performed in order to investigate the difference in the gene expression pattern between differentiated airway/vascular smooth muscle cells and progenitors for alveolar myofibroblasts in embryonic lung. To answer this question, we genetically labeled Smooth muscle actin-expressing cells using Sma-Cre-ERT2 crossed with Tomato Cre-reporter line. This line allows to label both airway/vascular smooth muscle cells (high SMA expression) and progenitors for alveolar myofibroblasts (low SMA expression). Mice were treated with tamoxifen at embryonic day E15.5 and cells from embryonic lungs were collected at E18.5. Mice used in this study were offspring from RjOrl:SWISS (CD1) [mother] x STOCK Tg (Acta2-cre/ERT2)12Pcn Gt(ROSA)26Sortm9(CAG-tdTomato)Hze/sbel (Acta2-CreERT2; tdTomatoflox) [father]

Transcription profiling of lungs of wild type and Mg-delta strain of fibrillin-1deficient mice to identify pathways that are critical for normal alveolar septation

Project description:The Mg-delta strain of fibrillin-1 deficient mice display an early defect in alveolar septation. This study attempts to identify expression patterns in the mutant mouse lung compared to their wild-type littermates that suggest pathways that are critical for normal septation. This experiment focuses on postnatal days 1 and 5. Other time points will be added at a later date.

expression data in lung of mice bearing inducible FGF18 transgene

Project description:Better understanding alveolarization mechanisms could help improving prevention and treatment of diseases characterized by reduced alveolar number, especially bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Although signaling through fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors is essential for alveolarization, involved ligands are unidentified. FGF18 whose expression peaks during alveolar septation is likely to be involved. Herein, a mouse model of inducible, lung-targeted FGF18-transgene was used to advance the onset of FGF18 expression, and genome-wide expression changes were determined. keywords: transgenic mice, alveolarization, angiogenesis, fibrosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Four pairs of simple and double transgenic pups issued from 4 different litters were selected on the basis of FGF18 transgene induction. RNA from the mice lung were extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.

Dynamic Hippo pathway activity underlies mesenchymal differentiation during lung alveolar morphogenesis

Project description:Alveologenesis, the final stage in lung development, substantially remodels the distal lung, expanding the alveolar surface area for efficient gas exchange. Secondary crest myofibroblasts (SCMF) exist transiently in the neonatal distal lung and are critical for alveologenesis. However, the pathways that regulate SCMF function, proliferation, and temporal identity remain poorly understood. To address this, we purified SCMFs from reporter mice, performed bulk RNA-sequencing, and found dynamic changes in Hippo-signaling components during alveologenesis. We deleted Hippo effectors, Yap/Taz, from Acta2-expressing SCMFs at the onset of alveologenesis, causing a significant arrest in alveolar development. Using scRNA-seq, we identified a distinct cluster of cells in mutant lungs with altered expression of marker genes associated with proximal mesenchymal cell types, airway smooth muscle (ASM), and alveolar duct myofibroblasts (DMF). Using lineage tracing, we show that neonatal Acta2-expressing SCMFs give rise to adult DMFs and that Yap/Taz mutants have an increase of persisting DMF-like cells in the alveolar ducts. Our findings identify aberrant differentiation of neonatal lung myofibroblasts and demonstrate that Yap/Taz are critical for maintaining lineage commitment.

Acquisition of alveolar fate and differentiation competence by human fetal lung epithelial progenitor cells

Project description:Our data show that Wnt and FGF signalling, and the downstream transcription factors NKX2.1 and TFAP2C, promote human alveolar or airway fate respectively. Moreover, we have functionally validated cell-cell interactions in human lung alveolar patterning. We show that Wnt signalling from differentiating fibroblasts promotes alveolar type 2 cell identity, whereas myofibroblasts secrete the Wnt inhibitor, NOTUM, providing spatial patterning. Our organoid system recapitulates key aspects of human lung development allowing mechanistic experiments to determine the underpinning molecular regulation.
