Project description:Fibroblast to myofibroblast conversion is a major driver of tissue remodeling in organ fibrosis. Here, we combined spatial transcriptomics, longitudinal single-cell RNA-seq and genetic lineage tracing to study fibroblast fates during mouse lung regeneration. We discovered a transitional fibroblast state characterized by high Sfrp1 expression, derived from both Tcf21-Cre lineage positive and negative cells. Sfrp1+ cells appeared early after injury in peribronchiolar, adventitial and alveolar locations and preceded the emergence of myofibroblasts. We identified lineage specific paracrine signals and inferred converging transcriptional trajectories towards Sfrp1+ transitional fibroblasts and Cthrc1+ myofibroblasts. Tgfβ1 downregulated Sfrp1 in non-invasive transitional cells and induced their switch to an invasive Cthrc1+ myofibroblast identity. Our study reveals the convergence of spatially and transcriptionally distinct fibroblast lineages into transcriptionally uniform myofibroblasts and identifies Sfrp1 as an autocrine inhibitor of fibroblast invasion during early stages of fibrogenesis.

Project description:Fibroblast to myofibroblast conversion is a major driver of tissue remodeling in organ fibrosis. Several distinct lineages of fibroblasts support homeostatic tissue niche functions, yet, specific activation states and phenotypic trajectories of fibroblasts during injury repair have remained unclear. Here, we combined spatial transcriptomics, longitudinal single-cell RNA-seq and genetic lineage tracing to study fibroblast fates during mouse lung regeneration. We discovered a transitional fibroblast state characterized by high Sfrp1 expression, derived from both Tcf21-Cre lineage positive and negative cells. Sfrp1+ cells appeared early after injury in peribronchiolar, adventitial and alveolar locations and preceded the emergence of myofibroblasts. We identified lineage specific paracrine signals and inferred converging transcriptional trajectories towards Sfrp1+ transitional fibroblasts and Cthrc1+ myofibroblasts. Tgfβ1 downregulated Sfrp1 in non-invasive transitional cells and induced their switch to an invasive Cthrc1+ myofibroblast identity. Finally, using loss of function experiments we show that autocrine Sfrp1 directly inhibits fibroblast invasion by regulating the RhoA pathway. In summary, our study reveals the convergence of spatially and transcriptionally distinct fibroblast lineages into transcriptionally uniform myofibroblasts and identifies Sfrp1 as an autocrine inhibitor of fibroblast invasion during early stages of fibrogenesis.

Project description:BackgroundFibroblast-to-myofibroblast conversion is a major driver of tissue remodelling in organ fibrosis. Distinct lineages of fibroblasts support homeostatic tissue niche functions, yet their specific activation states and phenotypic trajectories during injury and repair have remained unclear.MethodsWe combined spatial transcriptomics, multiplexed immunostainings, longitudinal single-cell RNA-sequencing and genetic lineage tracing to study fibroblast fates during mouse lung regeneration. Our findings were validated in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patient tissues in situ as well as in cell differentiation and invasion assays using patient lung fibroblasts. Cell differentiation and invasion assays established a function of SFRP1 in regulating human lung fibroblast invasion in response to transforming growth factor (TGF)β1.Measurements and main resultsWe discovered a transitional fibroblast state characterised by high Sfrp1 expression, derived from both Tcf21-Cre lineage positive and negative cells. Sfrp1 + cells appeared early after injury in peribronchiolar, adventitial and alveolar locations and preceded the emergence of myofibroblasts. We identified lineage-specific paracrine signals and inferred converging transcriptional trajectories towards Sfrp1 + transitional fibroblasts and Cthrc1 + myofibroblasts. TGFβ1 downregulated SFRP1 in noninvasive transitional cells and induced their switch to an invasive CTHRC1+ myofibroblast identity. Finally, using loss-of-function studies we showed that SFRP1 modulates TGFβ1-induced fibroblast invasion and RHOA pathway activity.ConclusionsOur study reveals the convergence of spatially and transcriptionally distinct fibroblast lineages into transcriptionally uniform myofibroblasts and identifies SFRP1 as a modulator of TGFβ1-driven fibroblast phenotypes in fibrogenesis. These findings are relevant in the context of therapeutic interventions that aim at limiting or reversing fibroblast foci formation.

Project description:All samples are conditioned media from primary cultured human gastric myofibroblasts, derived from either carcinoma tissue, or adjacent non cancerous tissue. In each experiment the cancer-derived myofibroblasts are compared against the non-cancer derived myofibroblasts from the same patient. All of the experiments were samples from Patient 1, except for 648, which is from Patient 2. SILAC labelling in each case is; 567 - Methionine COFRADIC; Cancer-derived = Heavy, Non-cancer = Light 575 - N-terminal COFRADIC; Cancer-derived = Heavy, Non-cancer = Light 646 - Cancer-derived = Light, Non-cancer = Heavy 647 - Non-cancer = Heavy, Non-cancer = Light (same cell line labelled twice to create a control experiment) 648 - Cancer-derived = Heavy, Non-cancer = Light

Project description:Fibrotic disease is caused by persistently activated fibroblasts, known as myofibroblasts, that continuously deposit extracellular matrix and fail to de-activate after injury resolution. There are currently no treatments for fibrotic disease; our study addresses the mechanisms whereby myofibroblasts persist in fibrotic tissues such as diseased cardiac valves. We exploit photo-softening hydrogels as synthetic valve tissue mimics and valve fibroblasts as a model to study how stiffness controls pathological myofibroblast activation and their persistence. We show that persistent myofibroblasts have condensed chromatin structure with genome-wide alterations and that this is associated with stabilization of the actin cytoskeleton. Disconnecting the nucleus from the cytoskeleton prevents chromatin condensation and myofibroblast persistence. Notably, myofibroblasts in patients with aortic valve stenosis display a condensed chromatin structure compared to myofibroblasts in a healthy patient, similar to the difference observed between cultured persistent myofibroblasts and transient myofibroblasts. Collectively, our results reveal that nuclear mechanosensing leads to distinct chromatin signatures in persistent myofibroblasts and that this novel cellular mechanism is likely relevant to human fibrotic disease.

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts are a major component of the cancer stroma. Here we focus on gastric cancer associated myofibroblasts (CAMs). CAMs secrete factors that increase the migration, invasion and proliferation of cancer cells when compared to adjacent tissue myofibroblasts (ATMs), or normal tissue myofibroblasts (NTMs). In this study we identified and quantified the proteins secreted by normoxic (21% O2) and hypoxic (1% O2) myofibroblast cells.

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a lethal chronic lung disease characterized by aberrant intercellular communication, extracellular matrix deposition and destruction of functional lung tissue. While extracellular vesicles (EVs) accumulate in the IPF lung, their cargo and biological effects remain unclear. We interrogated the proteome of EV and non-EV fractions during pulmonary fibrosis and characterize their contribution to fibrosis. EVs accumulated 14 days post-bleomycin challenge, correlating with decreased lung function and initiated fibrogenesis in healthy precision-cut lung slices. Label-free proteomics of broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF)-EVs collected from mice challenged with bleomycin or control identified 107 proteins enriched in fibrotic vesicles. Multiomic analysis revealed fibroblasts as a major cellular source of BALF-EV cargo, which was enriched in Secreted Frizzled Related Protein 1 (SFRP1). Sfrp1 deficiency inhibited the activity of fibroblast-derived EVs to potentiate lung fibrosis in vivo. SFRP1 led to increased transitional cell markers, such as Krt8, and WNT/β-catenin signaling in primary alveolar type 2 cells. SFRP1 is expressed within the IPF lung and localized at the surface of EVs from patient-derived fibroblasts and BALF. Our work reveals altered EV protein cargo in fibrotic EVs promoting fibrogenesis and identifies fibroblast derived vesicular SFRP1 as fibrotic mediator and potential therapeutic target for IPF.
