PDGFRα and αSMA mark two distinct mesenchymal cell populations involved in parenchymal and vascular remodeling in pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:We utilized a fate-mapping approach to investigate alpha-smooth muscle actin (αSMA)+ and platelet derived growth factor-alpha (PDGFRα)+ cells in two lung fibrosis models, complemented by cell-type specific next-generation sequencing and investigations on human lungs. Our data revealed that αSMA+ and PDGFRα+ cells mark two distinct mesenchymal lineages with minimal transdifferention potential during lung fibrotic remodeling. Parenchymal and perivascular fibrotic regions were populated predominantly with PDGFRα+ cells expressing collagen, while αSMA+ cells in the parenchyma and vessel wall showed variable expression of collagen and the contractile protein desmin. The distinct gene expression profiles found in normal conditions was retained during pathologic remodeling. Cumulatively, our findings identify αSMA+ and PDGFRα+ cells as two separate lineages with distinct gene expression profile in adult lungs.

Intronic polyadenylation of PDGFRα in stromal stem cells attenuates muscle fibrosis

Project description:The platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) exhibits divergent effects in skeletal muscle. At physiological levels, signaling through this receptor promotes muscle development in growing embryos and proper angiogenesis in regenerating adult muscle. However, either increased PDGF ligands or enhanced PDGFRα pathway activity causes pathological fibrosis. This excessive collagen deposition, which is seen in aged and diseased muscle, interferes with proper muscle function and limits the effectiveness of gene- and cell-based therapies for muscle disorders. Although compelling evidence exists for the role of PDGFRα in fibrosis, little is known about the cells through which this pathway acts. Here we show that PDGFRα signaling regulates a population of muscle-resident fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) that play a supportive role in muscle regeneration but may also cause fibrosis when aberrantly regulated. We found that FAPs produce multiple transcriptional variants of PDGFRα with different polyadenylation sites, including an intronic variant that codes for a protein isoform containing a truncated kinase domain. This variant, upregulated during regeneration, acts as a decoy to inhibit PDGF signaling and to prevent FAP over-activation. Moreover, increasing expression of this isoform limits fibrosis in vivo, suggesting both biological relevance and therapeutic potential of modulating polyadenylation patterns in stem cell populations. We used microarrays to explore the biological effects of altering intronic polyadenylation of PDGFRα in FAPs in vivo.

Tissue-resident PDGFRα stromal cells modulate both fibrosis and tissue revascularization during wound repair

Project description:PDGFRα+ cells are interstitial/perivascular mesenchymal progenitor cells that have been associated with fibro-adipogenic processes. However, their function during tissue homeostasis or in response to revascularization and regeneration stimuli remains to be fully defined. Here, by high-throughput transcriptomic analysis, adoptive transfer and multicolor lineage tracking we showed that PDGFRα+ cells from skeletal muscle cluster as a population that is transcriptionally distinct from other mesenchymal stromal cells and with an essential role in tissue revascularization and restructuring of ischemic areas. We further showed that tissue regeneration involves the removal of differentiated PDGFRα+-derived cells, while pathological healing occurred if PDGFRα+-derived cells persisted as terminally differentiated mesenchymal cells (e.g. myofibroblasts). From the perspective of tissue regeneration, these studies support a context-dependent 'yin-yang' biology of PDGFRα+ cells, that possess an innate ability to stabilize newly formed blood vessels and concurrently limit injury expansion after ischemia, while also being capable of promoting fibrosis in an unfavorable environment.

A PDGFRα-driven mouse model of Glioblastoma reveals a Stathmin1-mediated mechanism of sensitivity to Vinblastine

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive primary brain cancer that includes focal amplification of PDGFRα and for which there are no effective therapies. Herein, we report the development of a genetically engineered mouse model of GBM based on autocrine, chronic stimulation of PDGFRα and the analysis of GBM signaling pathways using proteomics. We discovered the tubulin-binding protein Stathmin1 (STMN1) as a PDGFRα phospho-regulated target and that this mis-regulation conferred selective sensitivity to vinblastine (VB) cytotoxicity. Treatment of PDGFRα GBMs with VB in mice drastically prolonged survival and was dependent on STMN1. Our work provides a rationale for evaluating genotype-specific anti-microtubule drugs as cancer treatment in select GBM patient populations.

PDGFRα+ cells in ESC cultures represent the in vitro equivalent of the pre-implantation primitive endoderm precursors

Project description:Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) express PDGFRα heterogeneously, fluctuating between a PDGFRα+ (PrE-primed) and a Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (PECAM1)-positive state (epiblast-primed). The two surface markers can be co-detected on a third subpopulation, expressing epiblast and PrE determinants.
