Project description:Cnidarians are the only non-bilaterian group to evolve ciliated larvae with an apical sensory organ integrated with neurons, possibly homologous to the bilaterians. Within cnidarians, an apical organ with a ciliary tuft is identified only in sea anemones. Whether this apical tuft has evolved independently in anthozoans or alternatively originated in the eumetazoans and was lost independently in specific groups of cnidarians and bilaterians is uncertain.

Project description:Dysfunction of motile cilia can impair mucociliary clearance in the airway and result in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a pediatric syndrome characterized by chronic respiratory infection and bronchiectasis, as well as infertility, laterality defects, and occasionally hydrocephalus due to defects in cilia in other organ systems. We have previously shown that mutations in genes encoding components of the ciliary central pair apparatus (CPA) perturb ciliary motility and result in PCD in mouse models. However, little is known about how epithelial cell types in the ciliary microenvironment of the upper airway respond to defects in ciliary motility and mucociliary clearance. In this study, we have used a single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) approach to investigate the effects of ciliary dysfunction on the tracheal epithelial cells from mouse models with mutations in CPA genes Cfap221 (also known as Pcdp1), Cfap54, and Spef2. Expected cell types were identified in the tracheal epithelial samples, including basal cells, suprabasal cells, secretory cells, deuterosomal cells, ciliated cells, tuft cells, ionocytes, and neuroendocrine cells, as well as an unidentified cell type that does not express markers of typical airway cells. The deuterosomal cells were found to exist in two states that differ largely in expression of genes involved in differentiation into the ciliated cell type. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified for each cell type, and functional enrichment analysis revealed a variety of important cellular functions altered in mutant cells. Overlapping DEGs shed light on general cellular responses to cilia dysfunction, while unique DEGs indicate that some responses may be specific to the individual mutation and ciliary defect. These analyses uncover new information about cellular responses to mucociliary clearance defects in the airway and pathogenesis of PCD.

Project description:We previously identified Dclk1, a tuft cell marker, marks tumor stem cells (TSCs) in mouse intestinal tumors. In this study, we have identified IL17RB as a cell surface marker distinctively expressed by Dclk1+ tuft-like tumor cells in mouse intestinal tumors. Using this tuft cell marker, we compared and analyzed the transcriptome of Lgr5-tuft marker-, Lgr5+tuft marker-, Lgr5-tuft marker+, and Lgr5+tuft marker+ tumor cells. These analyses revealed that tuft-like tumor cells in the intestinal tumors comprise two distinct subsets: highly differentiated tuft-like tumor cells (Lgr5-tuft marker+ cells) and tuft-like tumor cells with TCS potential (Lgr5+tuft marker+ cells).

Project description:While the lung bears significant regenerative capacity, severe viral pneumonia can chronically impair lung function by triggering dysplastic remodeling. The connection between these enduring changes and chronic disease remains poorly understood. We recently described the emergence of tuft cells within Krt5+ dysplastic regions after influenza injury. Using bulk and single cell transcriptomics, we characterized and delineated multiple distinct tuft cell populations that arise following influenza clearance. Distinct from intestinal tuft cells which rely on Type 2 immune signals for their expansion, neither IL-25 nor IL-4Ra signaling are required to drive tuft cell development in dysplastic/injured lungs. Furthermore, tuft cells were also observed upon bleomycin injury, suggesting that their development may be a general response to severe lung injury. While intestinal tuft cells promote growth and differentiation of surrounding epithelial cells, in the lungs of tuft cell deficient mice, Krt5+ dysplasia still occurs, goblet cell production is unchanged, and there remains no appreciable contribution of Krt5+ cells into more regionally appropriate alveolar Type 2 cells. Together, these findings highlight unexpected differences in signals necessary for lung tuft cell amplification and establish a framework for future elucidation of tuft cell functions in pulmonary health and disease.

Project description:The goal of the study was to sequence mRNA from tuft cells (identified as CD45-;EpCAM+;IL-25+ using Flare25 reporter mice) in the epithelia of 5 different murine tissues: trachea, thymus, colon, gall baldder, small intestine. As a control, non-tuft epithelial cells (CD45-;EpCAM+;IL-25-) were also isolated. The data were used to identify differentially expressed genes across tuft cells from different tissues and to define a transcriptional tuft cell "signature" that is common to all tissues analyzed but absent in the non-tuft epithelial cells.

Project description:The persistent murine norovirus strain MNVCR6 is a model for human norovirus and enteric viral persistence. MNVCR6 causes chronic infection by directly infecting tuft cells, rare chemosensory epithelial cells. Although MNVCR6 induces functional MNV-specific CD8+ T cells, these lymphocytes fail to clear infection. To clarify how tuft cells promote immune escape, we interrogated tuft cell interactions with CD8+ T cells by adoptively transferring JEDI (Just EGFP Death Inducing) CD8+ T cells into tuft cell reporter mice (Gfi1b-GFP). Surprisingly, some tuft cells partially resist JEDI CD8+ T cell-mediated killing – unlike Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells and extraintestinal tuft cells – despite seemingly normal antigen presentation. When targeting tuft cells, JEDI CD8+ T cells predominantly adopt a T resident memory phenotype with decreased effector and cytotoxic capacity, enabling tuft cell survival. Importantly, JEDI CD8+ T cells neither clear nor prevent MNVCR6 infection in the colon, the site of viral persistence, despite targeting a virus-independent antigen (e.g., GFP).
