Project description:The kidney contains a population of resident macrophages from birth that expands as it grows and forms a contiguous network throughout the tissue. Kidney resident macrophages (KRMs) are important in homeostasis and the response to acute kidney injury (AKI). While the kidney contains many microenvironments, it is unknown whether KRMs are a heterogeneous population differentiated by function and location. We combined single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq), spatial transcriptomics, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence imaging to localize, characterize, and validate KRM populations during quiescence and following 19 minutes of bilateral ischemic kidney injury. scRNAseq and spatial transcriptomics revealed seven distinct KRM subpopulations, which are organized into zones corresponding to regions of the nephron. Each subpopulation was identifiable by a unique transcriptomic signature suggesting distinct functions. Specific protein markers were identified for two clusters allowing analysis by flow cytometry or immunofluorescence imaging. Following injury, the original localization of each subpopulation is lost, either from changing locations or transcriptomic signatures. The original spatial distribution of KRMs is not fully restored for at least 28 days post-injury. The change in KRM localization confirms a long hypothesized dysregulation of the local immune system following acute injury and may explain the increased risk for chronic kidney disease.

Kidney-resident macrophages (KRMs) are important in homeostasis and the response to acute kidney injury. While the kidney contains many microenvironments, it is unknown whether KRMs are a heterogeneous population differentiated by function and location. We combined single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq), spatial transcriptomics, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence imaging to localize, characterize, and validate KRM populations during quiescence and following 19 minutes of bilateral ischemic kidney injury. scRNA-Seq and spatial transcriptomics revealed 7 distinct KRM subpopulations, which are organized into zones corresponding to regions of the nephron.

The original spatial distribution of KRMs was not fully restored for at least 28 days after injury. The change in KRM localization confirmed a long-hypothesized dysregulation of the local immune system following acute injury and may explain the increased risk for chronic kidney disease.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major health burden in the United States. Macrophages have been shown to mediate AKI in murine models. Murine kidneys contain multiple subpopulations of kidney resident macrophages (KRM) that are transcriptionally and spatially distinct. We hypothesized the human kidney contains orthologous KRM subpopulations, both transcriptionally and spatially. We utilized kidney sections from donors diagnosed with mild to moderate AKI in order to increase the translatability of murine research to clinical settings. We used spatial transcriptomics and single cell RNA sequencing to identify five distinct human KRM subpopulations. Using the AddModuleScore function in Seurat, we were able to compare the murine KRM transcriptional profiles from pre and post-AKI to the human KRM subpopulations. As a result, we identified four orthologous to known murine KRM subpopulations. The remaining population was identified in the kidney cortex and expresses a profile similar to activate microglia, the resident macrophage population in the brain. Again, we used AddModuleScore to determine a set of marker genes that will allow for the identification of KRM subsets across species and injury.

Project description:Macrophages are hematopoietic cells critical for innate immune defense, but also control organ homeostasis in a tissue-specific manner. Tissue-resident macrophages, therefore, provide a well-defined model to study the impact of ontogeny and microenvironment on chromatin state. Here, we profile the dynamics of four histone modifications across seven tissue-resident macrophage populations, as well as monocytes and neutrophils. We identify 12,743 macrophage-specific enhancers and establish that tissue-resident macrophages have distinct enhancer landscapes. Our work suggests that a combination of tissue and lineage-specific transcription factors form the regulatory networks controlling chromatin specification in tissue-resident macrophages. The environment has the capacity to alter the chromatin landscape of macrophages derived from transplanted adult bone marrow in vivo and even differentiated macrophages are reprogrammed when transferred into a new tissue. Altogether, these data provide a comprehensive view of macrophage regulation and highlight the importance of microenvironment along with pioneer factors in orchestrating macrophage identity and plasticity. 7 tissue-resident macrophage populations were isolated, as well as monocytes and neutrophils, and transcriptome analysis was performed. Experiment was done in duplicates.

Project description:Resident macrophages orchestrate homeostatic, inflammatory, and reparative activities. It is appreciated that different tissues instruct specialized macrophage functions. However, individual tissues contain heterogeneous subpopulations, and how these subpopulations are related is unclear. We asked whether common transcriptional and functional elements could reveal an underlying framework across tissues. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and random forest modeling, we observed that four genes could predict three macrophage subsets that were present in murine heart, liver, lung, kidney, and brain. Parabiotic and genetic fate mapping studies revealed that these core markers predicted three unique life cycles across 17 tissues. TLF+ (expressing TIMD4 and/or LYVE1 and/or FOLR2) macrophages were maintained through self-renewal with limited monocyte input; CCR2+ (TIMD4−LYVE1−FOLR2−) macrophages were almost entirely replaced by monocytes, and MHC-IIhi macrophages (TIMD4−LYVE1−FOLR2−CCR2−), while receiving modest monocyte contribution, were not continually replaced. Rather, monocyte-derived macrophages contributed to the resident macrophage population until they reached a defined upper limit after which they did not outcompete pre-existing resident populations. TLF+ macrophages were first to emerge in the yolk sac and early fetal organs. Fate mapping studies in the mouse and human single-cell RNA sequencing indicated that TLF+ macrophages originated from both yolk sac and fetal monocyte precursors. Furthermore, TLF+ macrophages were the most transcriptionally conserved subset across mouse tissues and between mice and humans, despite organ- and species-specific transcriptional differences. Here, we define the existence of three murine macrophage subpopulations based on common life cycle properties and core gene signatures, and suggest a common starting point to understand tissue macrophage heterogeneity.

Project description:Kidney macrophages are comprised of both monocyte-derived and tissue resident populations; however, the heterogeneity of kidney macrophages and factors that regulate their heterogeneity are poorly understood. Herein, we performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq), fate mapping, and parabiosis to define the cellular heterogeneity of kidney macrophages in healthy mice. Our data indicate that healthy mouse kidneys contain four major subsets of monocytes and two major subsets of kidney resident macrophages (KRM) including a population with enriched Ccr2 expression, suggesting monocyte origin. Surprisingly, fate mapping data using the newly developed Ms4a3Cre Rosa Stopf/f TdT model indicate that less than 50% of Ccr2+ KRM are derived from Ly6chi monocytes. Instead, we find that Ccr2 expression in KRM reflects their spatial distribution as this cell population is almost exclusively found in the kidney cortex. We also identified Cx3cr1 as a gene that governs cortex specific accumulation of Ccr2+ KRM and show that loss of Ccr2+ KRM reduces the severity of cystic kidney disease in a mouse model where cysts are mainly localized to the kidney cortex. Collectively, our data indicate that Cx3cr1 regulates KRM heterogeneity and niche-specific disease progression.

Project description:Macrophages are critical regulators of immune responses, and link innate immunity to acquired immunity. The precise mechanism of the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases through tissue-resident macrophage is unclear. The role of the tissue-resident macrophages in the onset or development of autoimmunity was investigated using a murine model for Sjögren’s syndrome.

Project description:Mononuclear phagocytes promote injury and repair following myocardial infarction but discriminating functions within mixed populations remains challenging. We utilized fate mapping and single cell RNA-sequencing to delineate fate specification trajectories of heterogeneous cardiac macrophage subpopulations. In steady state, TIMD4 expression tracked with a dominant resident cardiac macrophage subset that persisted via in situ self-renewal with minimal monocyte input. Following ischemic injury, monocytes displayed significant plasticity, ultimately adopting transcriptional states similar to resident macrophages, but also multiple unique states. Ischemic injury reduced resident macrophage abundance within infarct tissue, and despite transcriptional similarity, TIMD4 expression distinguished resident from recruited macrophages. Specific lineage-based depletion of resident cardiac macrophages resulted in depressed cardiac function and adverse remodeling primarily within the peri-infarct zone, the only region of the myocardium where resident macrophages expanded numerically following injury. Together, these data highlight a non-redundant, cardioprotective role of resident cardiac macrophages, and the diverse transcriptional fates recruited monocytes can adopt.
