Unifying recovery dynamics in heterogeneous diseases exemplified by COVID-19

ABSTRACT: Studying the recovery dynamics in different diseases poses many difficulties, as patients often display high heterogeneity in their recovery courses. Moreover, most attempts to study disease dynamics focus on disease progression rather than disease recovery mechanisms. To model recovery dynamics, using severe COVID-19 as the example, we align heterogeneous recovery trajectories via a novel computational scheme applied to longitudinally sampled blood transcriptomes. We thus generate pseudotime trajectories, which we then link to cellular and molecular mechanisms based on cell deconvolution analysis and molecular pathway prediction, thus presenting a unique framework for studying recovery processes over time. Specifically, mature neutrophils displayed a gradual decrease during recovery, allowing superior useability for outcome prediction compared to currently used clinical markers. Further, we discovered a recovery-related regulatory change in gene programs resulting in immune rebalancing between interferon and NFkB activity and the restoration of cell homeostasis. We thus propose regulatory mechanisms governing COVID-19 recovery and suggest mature neutrophils and additional gene markers, as novel clinical biomarkers for disease outcome. Overall, we present a novel clinically relevant computational framework for modeling disease recovery, paving the way for future studies of the recovery dynamics in other diseases and tissues.

Profiling chromatin accessibility of neutrophil subsets in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Neutrophils are increasingly recognized as key players in the tumour immune response, and are associated with poor clinical outcomes. Despite recent advances characterizing the diversity of neutrophil states in cancer, common trajectories and mechanisms governing the ontogeny and relationship between these neutrophil states remain undefined.Using Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin (ATAC) sequencing, we show that immature and mature neutrophils infiltrating the tumor share a similar chromatin accessibility profile that was not observed in non-tumor populations (in both tumor-bearing and wild type mice). Our results thus indicate that tumor-infiltrating neutrophils can be reprogrammed by the tumor microenvironment regardless of their stage of maturity by converging chromatin trajectories towards a distinct T3 state.

Single cell RNA profiling of neutrophils in a model of pancreatic orthotopic cancer

Project description:Neutrophils are increasingly recognized as key players in the tumour immune response, and are associated with poor clinical outcomes. Despite recent advances characterizing the diversity of neutrophil states in cancer, common trajectories and mechanisms governing the ontogeny and relationship between these neutrophil states remain undefined. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) of neutrophils from the bone marrow, spleen, and blood in addtion to the pancreatic tumor thus uncovers an unique tumor differentiation trajectory, where immature and mature neutrophils converge into a terminally differentiated tumor neutrophil state.

Mast cells trap and cannibalize swarming neutrophils for metabolic independence

Project description:Neutrophils are activated and attracted to sites of anaphylaxis by degranulating tissue resident mast cells. After they facilitate inflammation and an anti-microbial immune response. However, the dynamics of neutrophils and direct interactions with mast cells are poorly investigated yet. By approaching 2-photon intravital microscopy and live cell imaging, we show that degranulating mast cells induce neutrophil swarming by releasing leukotriene B4 (LTB4). Attracted neutrophils interact with mast cells and surprisingly penetrate inside mast cells where they are stably trapped inside mast cell granules. We call this novel form of cell-in-cell structure “Mast Cell Intracellular Trap” (MIT). Trapped neutrophils and mast cells are both viable in the first 12 hours after MIT formation. However, neutrophils start to dye after 12hrs and translatome analysis of mast cells revealed improved mast cell metabolism and recovery. Therefore, neutrophils allow a faster and more efficient mast cell re-stimulation. Furthermore, mast cells get more resistant to extracellular nutrient limitations. Thus, beside their inflammatory role in anaphylaxis, neutrophils support mast cell recovery by forming a cell in cell structure. This might affect chronic inflammation and recurrent infections.

Comparative transcriptomics coupled to developmental grading via transgenic Zebrafish reporter strains identifies conserved features in neutrophil maturation

Project description:Neutrophils are evolutionarily conserved innate immune cells playing pivotal roles in host defence. Zebrafish models have contributed substantially to our understanding of neutrophil functions but similarities to human neutrophil maturation have not been systematically characterized, which limits their applicability to studying human disease. Here we show, by generating and analysing transgenic zebrafish strains representing distinct neutrophil differentiation stages, a high-resolution transcriptional profile of neutrophil maturation. We link gene expression at each stage to characteristic transcription factors, including C/ebp-β, which is important for late neutrophil maturation. Cross-species comparison of zebrafish, mouse, and human samples confirms high molecular similarity of immature stages and discriminates zebrafish-specific from pan-species gene signatures. Applying the pan-species neutrophil maturation signature to RNA-sequencing data from human neuroblastoma patients reveals association between metastatic tumor cell infiltration in the bone marrow and an overall increase in mature neutrophils. Our detailed neutrophil maturation atlas thus provides a valuable resource for studying neutrophil function at different stages across species in health and disease.

Single-cell transcriptome profiling reveals neutrophil heterogeneity in homeostasis and infection

Project description:The full neutrophil heterogeneity and differentiation landscape remains incompletely characterized. Here we profiled more than 25,000 mouse differentiating and mature neutrophils using single-cell RNA sequencing to provide a comprehensive transcriptional landscape of neutrophil maturation, function, and fate decision in their steady state and during bacterial infection. Eight neutrophil populations (including the GMP population) were defined by distinct molecular signatures, including a new circulating mature neutrophil population highly expressing interferon-stimulated genes. The three mature peripheral blood neutrophil subsets arise from distinct maturing bone marrow neutrophil subsets, a novel mechanism that highlights the complex and precise regulation of neutrophil production. Neutrophil heterogeneity and differentiation are driven by both known and uncharacterized transcription factors. Neutrophils gradually acquire microbicidal capability as cells traverse the transcriptional landscape, representing an evolved mechanism for fine-tuned regulation of an effective but balanced neutrophil response. Bacterial infection reprograms the genetic architecture of neutrophil population, alters dynamic transition between each subpopulation, and primes neutrophils for augmented functionality without affecting overall heterogeneity. Bacterial infection-induced emergency granulopoiesis is mediated by augmented proliferation of early-stage neutrophil progenitors and accelerated post-mitotic maturation. In summary, single-cell transcriptomics enabled the reconstruction of neutrophil differentiation and maturation trajectories and uncovered neutrophil subpopulations, gene pathways, and regulators of neutrophil function and fate decisions. These data establish a reference model and general framework for studying neutrophil-related disease mechanisms, biomarkers, and therapeutic targets at single-cell resolution.

Histone Methyltransferase Ezh2 Controls Cell Adhesion and Migration through Direct Methylation of the Extra-Nuclear Protein-Talin

Project description:Previously, we suggested a cytosolic role for the histone-methyltransferase Ezh2 in regulating lymphocyte activation, but molecular mechanisms underpinning this extra-nuclear function remained unclear. Here we show that Ezh2 regulates integrin-signaling and adhesion dynamics of neutrophils and dendritic cells. Ezh2 deficiency impaired integrin-dependent transendothelial migration of innate leukocytes and restricted disease progression in an animal model of multiple sclerosis. Direct methylation of talin, a key regulatory molecule in cell migration, by Ezh2 disrupted talin binding to F-actin and thereby promoted adhesion structure turnover. This regulatory effect was abolished by targeted disruption of Ezh2 interactions with Vav1. Our studies reveal a novel extra-nuclear function for Ezh2 in regulating adhesion dynamics with implications for leukocyte migration, immune responses and potentially pathogenic processes. Control and Ezh2-deficient bone marrow derived immature and mature dendritic cells were analyzed in triplicates

Mapping distinct bone marrow niche populations and their differentiation paths

Project description:The bone marrow microenvironment is composed of heterogeneous cell populations of non-hematopoietic cells with complex phenotypes and undefined trajectories of maturation. Among them, mesenchymal cells maintain the production of stromal, bone, fat and cartilage cells. Resolving these unique cellular subsets within the bone marrow remains challenging. Here, we used single-cell RNA-sequencing of non-hematopoietic bone marrow cells to define specific subpopulations. Furthermore, by combining computational prediction of the cell state hierarchy with known expression of key transcription factors, we mapped differentiation paths to the osteocyte, chondrocyte, and adipocyte lineages. Finally, we validated our findings using lineage-specific reporter strains and targeted knockdowns. Our analysis reveals differentiation hierarchies for maturing stromal cells, determines key transcription factors along these trajectories, and provides an understanding of the complexity of the bone marrow microenvironment.
