Project description:Senescence in WI-38 cell context was induce by RASv12 over expression Cellular senescence is a permanent cell cycle arrest that is triggered by cancer- initiating or promoting events in mammalian cells and is now considered a major tumour suppressor mechanism. Here, we did a transcriptomic analysis and compared WI-38 contol wich is a human fibroblaste cell line and WI-38 that overexpressed RASv12 a G protein that induce senescence. The goal of our project is to compare transciptomic profile of human growing fibroblast (WI-38 control) and senescent human fibroblast (WI-38 OERAS)

Project description:Finite replicative potential is a defining feature of non-transformed somatic cells, first established by Leonard Hayflick in vitro using WI-38 human lung fibroblasts. Once proliferative capacity is exhausted due to telomere shortening, cells enter into a state called replicative senescence, which can be avoided through ectopic expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). As WI-38 cells approach replicative arrest, molecular pathways linked to mechanotransduction are induced, including YAP signaling, but the potential interplay between replicative lifespan and the mechanical environment of the cell remains unexplored. Here, we investigate the influence of mechanosensation on the trajectory towards replicative arrest taken by WI-38 cells by growing cells on substrates of varying stiffnesses. Matrix softening slowed proliferation, altered cellular phenotypes, and shortened proliferative lifespan while hTERT expression abrogated or reduced these responses. Our analyses of bulk and single-cell RNA-sequencing and ATAC-sequencing revealed the emergence of a unique G1 transcriptional state on soft substrates, characterized by an AP-1 transcription factor program, which failed to manifest with hTERT expression. Together, these findings reveal how the mechanical environment alters WI-38 cell proliferative lifespan and dictates unique paths towards growth arrest.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stable cell cycle arrest associated with upregulated inflammatory responses. Senescent cells contribute to various pathological and physiological processes including organismal aging and cancer. Cellular senescence can be induced by various cellular stresses including DNA damage, telomere shortening, oncogene activation, and epigenetic alterations. We have shown that plasma membrane damage can also induce cellular senescence. However, common and specific molecular mechanisms among different senescent cell subtypes remain unknown. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate mRNA and rewire gene expression profiles, contributing to multiple processes including cellular senescence. Here, we performed time-resolved miRNA sequencing and compared the results with mRNA sequencing results using cells experiencing plasma membrane damage-dependent senescence (PMD-Sen) and cells undergoing DNA damage response-dependent senescence (DDR-Sen).

Project description:Background: Myofibroblasts (MYFs) are generally considered the principal culprits in excessive extracellular matrix deposition and scar formation in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis. Lipofibroblasts (LIFs), on the other hand, are defined by their lipid-storing capacity and are predominantly found in the alveolar regions of the lung. They have been proposed to play a protective role in lung fibrosis. We previously reported that a LIF to MYF reversible differentiation switch occurred during fibrosis formation and resolution. In this study, we tested whether WI-38 cells, a human embryonic lung fibroblast cell line, could be used to study fibroblast differentiation towards the LIF or MYF phenotype and whether this could be relevant for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Methods: using WI-38 cells, MYF differentiation was triggered using TGF-β1 treatment and LIF differentiation using Metformin treatment. We analyzed the LIF to MYF and MYF to LIF differentiation by pre-treating the WI-38 cells with TGF-β1 or Metformin first, followed by treatment with Metformin and TGF-β1, respectively. We used IF, qPCR and bulk RNA-Seq to analyze the phenotypic and transcriptomic changes in the cells. We correlated our in vitro transcriptome data from WI-38 cells (obtained via bulk RNA sequencing) with the transcriptomic signature of LIFs and MYFs derived from the IPF cell atlas as well as with our own single-cell transcriptomic data from IFP patients-derived lung fibroblasts (LF-IPF) cultured in vitro. We also carried out alveolosphere assays to evaluate the ability of the proposed LIF and MYF cells to support the growth of alveolar epithelial type 2 cells. Results: WI-38 and LF-IPF display similar phenotypical and gene expression responses to TGF-β1 and Metformin treatment. Bulk RNA-Seq analysis of WI-38 and LF-IPF treated with TGF-β1, or Metformin indicate similar transcriptomic changes. We also show the partial conservation of the LIF and MYF signature extracted from the Habermann et al. scRNA-seq dataset in WI-38 cells treated with Metformin or TGF-β1, respectively. Alveolosphere assays indicate that LIFs enhance organoid growth, while MYFs inhibit organoid growth. Finally, we provide evidence supporting the LIF to MYF reversible switch using WI-38 cells. Conclusions: WI-38 cells represent a versatile and reliable model to study the intricate dynamics of fibroblast differentiation towards the MYF or LIF phenotype associated with lung fibrosis formation and resolution, providing valuable insights to drive future research
