Comparison of embryonic samples (E18) vs. adult (34 weeks old) lacrimal gland transcriptome

ABSTRACT: As an element of the lacrimal apparatus, the lacrimal gland (LG) produces the aqueous part of the tear film, which protects the eye surface. Therefore, a defective LG can lead to serious eyesight impairment. Up to now, little is known about LG morphogenesis and subsequent maturation. In this study, we delineated elements of the cellular and molecular events involved in LG formation by using three epithelial markers, namely aSMA, Krt14 andKrt19. While aSMA marked a restricted epithelial population of the terminal end buds (TEBs) in the forming LG, Krt14 was found in the whole embryonic LG epithelial basal cell layer. Interestingly, Krt19 specifically labelled the presumptive ductal domain and subsequently, the luminal cell layer. By combining these markers, the Fucci reporter mouse strain and genetic fate mapping of the Krt14+ population, we demonstrated that LG epithelium expansion is fueled by a patterned cell proliferation, and to a lesser extent by epithelial reorganization and possible mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition. We pointed out that this epithelial reorganization, which is associated with apoptosis, regulated the lumen formation. Finally, we showed that the Notch signalling inhibition prevented the ductal identity from setting, and leads to a LG covered by ectopic TEBs. Taken together our results bring a deeper understanding on LG morphogenesis, epithelial domain identity, and organ expansion.

The first transcriptomic atlas of the adult lacrimal gland reveals epithelial complexity and identifies novel progenitor cells in mice

Project description:The lacrimal gland (LG) secretes aqueous tears. Previous studies have provided insights into the cell lineage relationships during tissue morphogenesis. However, little is known about the cell types composing the adult LG and their progenitors. Using scRNA-seq, we established the first comprehensive cell atlas of the adult mouse LG to investigate cell hierarchy, their secretory repertoire and sex differences.

Expression data from isolated terminal end buds in mammary glands with or without Ovol2 deletion

Project description:Epithelial cells possess remarkable plasticity, having the ability to become mesenchymal cells through alterations in adhesion and motility (epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT). Recent studies suggest that EMT endows differentiated epithelial cells with stem cell traits, posing the interesting question of how epithelial plasticity is properly restricted to ensure epithelial differentiation during tissue morphogenesis. Here we identify zinc-finger transcription factor Ovol2 as a key suppressor of EMT of mammary epithelial cells. Epithelia-specific deletion of Ovol2 completely arrests mammary ductal morphogenesis, and depletes epithelial stem/progenitor cell reservoirs. Further, Ovol2-deficient epithelial cells undergo EMT in vivo to become non-epithelial cell types, and that Ovol2 directly represses key EMT inducers such as Zeb1 and regulates stem/progenitor cell responsiveness to TGF-beta. We also provide evidence for a suppressive role of Ovol2 in breast cancer progression. Our findings underscore the critical importance of exquisitely regulating epithelial plasticity to balance stemness with epithelial differentiation in development and cancer. TEBs from control and conditional Ovol2-knockout mammary glands were physically isolated for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. In order to identify primary changes, we analyzed TEBs from 24-25-day-old mice, when morphological differences between control and Ovol2 SSKO were still minimal.

Transcription profiling of rat lacrimal gland samples from normal, sham and operated animals

Project description:Previous studies showed that loss of muscarinic parasympathetic input to the lacrimal gland (LG) leads to a dramatic reduction in tear secretion and profound changes to LG structure. In this study, we used DNA microarrays to examine the regulation of the gene expression of the genes for secretory function and organization of the LG. Long-Evans rats anesthetized with a mixture of ketamine/xylazine (80:10 mg/kg) underwent unilateral sectioning of the greater superficial petrosal nerve, the input to the pterygopalatine ganglion. After 7 days, tear secretion was measured, the animals were killed, and structural changes in the LG were examined by light microscopy. Total RNA from control and experimental LGs (n = 5) was used for DNA microarray analysis employing the U34A GeneChip. Control rat lacrimal gland samples representing a normal unoperated, a sham, and paired contralateral controls. Experimental LG samples representing paired and unpaired contralateral controls. Paired contralateral control LGs represent LG from the same animal, one side was operated and the other side unoperated.

Molecular profiling of the developing lacrimal gland

Project description:Although normal function of the lacrimal gland (LG) is essential for vision (and thus, for human well-being), the LG remains rather poorly understood at molecular level. The purpose of this study was to identify new genes and signaling cascades involved in LG development.

Pubertal Ductal Morphogenesis: Isolation and Transcriptome Analysis of the Terminal End Bud.

Project description:The terminal end buds (TEB) are the growing part of the ductal mammary epithelium during puberty, which enable the formation of the primary mammary epithelial network. These bulbous end structures are highly proliferative, and this allows the ductal expansion into the mammary fat pad. The TEB comprise of an outer cap cell layer, which include the progenitor cells of the myoepithelium, and the body cells, which are thought to be the progenitors from which the luminal epithelium is formed. Since TEBs make up only a minute part of the whole mammary tissue, associated factors can be easily missed in whole-tissue section analysis. We have therefore optimised a method to enzymatically separate TEB and ducts, respectively, from the surrounding stroma of pubertal mice and performed transcriptome analysis on the isolated structures to identify potential novel regulators of epithelial outgrowth.

10X Genomics scRNA-seq profiling of mammary gland cells from mice at different life stages

Project description:Background: Heterogeneity within the mouse mammary epithelium has been recently explored by single-cell RNA profiling. To further understand how cellular diversity changes during mammary development, we profiled single cells from different developmental stages including late embryogenesis, early postnatal, prepuberty, resting adult, mid-pregnancy, late-pregnancy, lactation and post-involution. We also compared the transcriptomes and chromatin accessibility of micro-dissected ducts versus terminal endbuds (TEBs) to help decipher the molecular properties of these specialized units that drive morphogenesis. Results: The single cell transcriptomes of 110,726 cells isolated from different stages were determined on the 10x Chromium platform and integrative analyses were performed to compare specific time-points. The mammary rudiment at E18.5 aligned more closely with the basal than the luminal lineage, while prepubertal epithelial cells at 2 weeks exhibited lineage segregation but to a less differentiated state than their adult counterparts. Integrated analysis of five stages spanning the pregnancy cycle revealed a novel alveolar progenitor that arises in late-pregnancy and stage-specific expression profiles. A continuum of states was uncovered along the basal-luminal progenitor cell axis following interrogation with >3,200 lineage-specific signature genes. Finally, exploration of micro-dissected TEBs and ducts showed that luminal cells within TEBs harbored intermediate expression profiles, and that ductal basal cells exhibited a higher level of accessible chromatin than their counterparts in TEBs.
