Single Cell Analysis of Pulmonary Fibrosis

ABSTRACT:

Pulmonary fibrosis is a heterogenous syndrome in which fibrotic scar replaces normal lung tissue. We performed massively parallel single-cell RNA-Seq on lung tissue from eight lung transplant donors and eight patients with pulmonary fibrosis. Combined with in situ RNA hybridization, with amplification, these data provide a molecular atlas of disease pathobiology. We identified a distinct, novel population of profibrotic alveolar macrophages exclusively in patients with fibrosis. Within epithelial cells, the expression of genes involved in Wnt secretion and response was restricted to non-overlapping cells. We identified rare cell populations including airway stem cells and senescent cells emerging during pulmonary fibrosis. Analysis of a cryobiopsy specimen from a patient with early disease supports the clinical application of single-cell RNA-Seq to develop personalized approaches to therapy.

Translational co-culture model reveals epithelial-mesenchymal mechanisms of lung fibrosis and identifies NF-κB as potential therapeutic target

Project description:The interaction of lung epithelial and lung mesenchymal cells was investigated in a novel co-culture model of human pulmonary fibrosis. Remarkably, co-culturing both cell types induced cell-type-specific responses, including fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which were fully dependent on direct epithelial / fibroblast contact. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to evaluate the transcriptional fate of the normal human lung fibroblasts (NHLF) and normal human bronchiolar epithelial cells (NHBE) during the course of co-cultivation, and compare the single cell profiles with their counterpart isolated from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). NHLF and normal NHBE cells were grown as co-cultures, cell suspensions were collected at the time points t = 0h, 3h and 18h and analyzed by single-cell RNA-seq on a Chromium Platform. Eight samples were sequenced, resulting in a total of xx single cell transcription profiles.

Bi-directional epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk provides self-sustaining pro-fibrotic signals in pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the prototypic progressive fibrotic lung disease with a median survival of 2-4 years. Injury to and/or dysfunction of alveolar epithelium are strongly implicated in IPF disease initiation, but what factors determine why fibrosis progresses rather than normal tissue repair occurs remain poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that ZEB1-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human alveolar epithelial type II (ATII) cells augments TGF-β-induced profibrogenic responses in underlying lung fibroblasts by paracrine signalling. Here we investigated bi-directional epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk and its potential to drive fibrosis progression. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of lung fibroblasts exposed to conditioned media from ATII cells undergoing RAS-induced EMT identified many differentially expressed genes including those involved in cell migration and extracellular matrix (ECM) regulation. We confirmed that paracrine signalling between AS-activated ATII cells and fibroblasts augmented fibroblast recruitment and demonstrated that this involved a ZEB1-tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) axis. In a reciprocal fashion, paracrine signalling from TGF-β-activated lung fibroblasts or IPF fibroblasts induced RAS activation in ATII cells, at least partially via the secreted protein, SPARC. Together these data identify that aberrant bi-directional epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk in IPF drives a chronic feedback loop that maintains a wound-healing phenotype and provides self-sustaining pro-fibrotic signals.

A spatially restricted fibrotic niche in pulmonary fibrosis is sustained by M-CSF/M-CSFR signaling in monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis is a heterogenous syndrome in which fibrotic scar replaces normal lung tissue. We performed single-cell RNA-seq on the lungs from mice exposed to fibrogenic particle (asbestos) and non-fibrogenic particle (TiO2) 14 days after the exposure to dissect cellular interactions unfolding during the early stages of the pulmonary fibrosis.

Alteration in the transcriptome of the lung during TGF?-induced pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is associated with many chronic lung diseases including Systemic sclerosis (SSc), Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) which are characterized by the progressive accumulation of stromal cells and formation of scar tissue. Pulmonary fibrosis is a dysregulated response to alveolar injury which causes a progressive decline in lung function and refractory to current pharmacological therapies. Airway and alveolar epithelial cells and stromal cells contribute to pulmonary fibrosis but the cell-specific pathways and gene networks that are responsible for the pathophysiology are unknown. Recent animals models generated in our lab demonstrate clinical phenotypes seen in human fibrotic disease. The mouse model of transforming growth factor-? (TGF?)-induced fibrosis include conditionally expressing TGF? in the lung epithelium under control of the CCSP promoter driving rtTA expression (CCSP/TGF?). This allow the TGF? is only expressed in airway and alveolar epithelial cells and only when mice fed doxycycline (Dox). Similar to PF in humans, TGF? mice on Dox developed a progressive and extensive adventitial, interstitial and pleural fibrosis with a decline in lung mechanics. Thus, the TGF? transgenic mouse is a powerful model to determine lung cell-specific molecular signatures involved in pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, we sought to determine changes in the transcriptome during TGF?-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Our results showed that several pro-fibrotic genes increased in the lungs of TGF? mice. This study demonstrates that WT1 network gene changes associated with fibrosis and myfibroblast accumulation and thus may serve as a critical regulator fibrotic lung disease. mRNA profiles of CCSP/- and CCSP/TGFalpha mice treated with Dox

Senescence rather than apoptosis of alveolar progenitor cells drives pulmonary fibrosis (mouse scRNAseq)

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal form of interstitial lung disease associated with progressive scarring of lung tissue and declining pulmonary function in aging individuals. Here we employ data mining and single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) to define candidate drivers of AT2 senescence in IPF lung tissue. We show that AT2 cells isolated from IPF lung tissue exhibit characteristic features of cellular senescence and reduced abundance of Sin3a, critical determinant of endodermal progenitor cell maintenance in the developing lung. Conditional loss of Sin3a within AT2 cells of the adult mouse lung activated a program of p53-dependent cellular senescence and AT2 cell depletion, leading to progressive pulmonary fibrosis. In contrast, ablation of AT2 cells through conditional activation of a DTA toxin gene led to transient fibrosis that resolved over time, suggesting that senescence of AT2 cells was a critical driver of progressive fibrosis. Activation of b6 integrin was observed within a subset of AT2 cells with Sin3a loss-of-function that localized to the advancing margin of advancing fibroproliferative lesions. Systemic inhibition of TGF signaling or delivery of senolytic drugs prevented lung fibrosis in Sin3a loss-of-function mice. Our findings establish a novel mouse model that recapitulates key pathological features of human IPA and show that p53-dependent senescence is a proximal regulator of TGF induction and progressive pulmonary fibrosis.
