Project description:Vertebrate lonesome kinase (VLK) is the only known secreted tyrosine kinase and responsible for the phosphorylation of a broad range of secretory pathway-resident and extracellular matrix proteins. However, its cell-type specific functions in vivo are still largely unknown. Therefore, we generated mice with a mesenchyme-specific knockout of the VLK gene (protein kinase domain containing, cytoplasmic (Pkdcc)). Most of the homozygous mice die shortly after birth, most likely as a consequence of their lung abnormalities and consequent respiratory failure. E18.5 embryonic lungs showed a reduction of alveolar type II cells, smaller bronchi, and an increased lung tissue density. Global mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics identified 112 proteins with significantly and at least 1.5fold differential abundance between genotypes. Twenty-five of these had been assigned to the extracellular region and 15 to the mouse matrisome. Specifically, fibromodulin and matrilin 4, which are involved in extracellular matrix organization, were significantly more abundant in lungs from Pkdcc knockout embryos. These results support a role for mesenchyme-derived VLK in lung development through regulation of matrix dynamics and the resulting non-cell-autonomous modulation of alveolar epithelial cell differentiation.

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.

Project description:The interaction of lung epithelial and lung mesenchymal cells (fibroblasts) 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. Primary normal human lung fibroblasts (NHLF) and normal human bronchiolar epithelial cells (NHBE) were fluorescently labelled prior to seeding, then grown either as mono or co-cultures and collected in triplicates for mRNA-seq at the start (T=0h) and after 3h and 18h. Each harvested cell culture was FACS sorted into individual NHLF and NHBE cell populations, which were then then lysed and sequenced.

Project description:The impact of Mll3 removal on lung development was evaluated by mRNA profiling of three lung samples each from control and Mll3KO mice. Using 75-base-pair reads, 30 million reads per sample with comparable unique mapped reads (89-91%) were obtained. All biological replicates clustered into two well-separated groups according to genotype thereby lending confidence regarding data quality. To analyze differentially expressed genes, we applied DESeq2 analysis to the RNA-seq dataset. As expected for an H3K4 methyltransferase, we observed that 5 times more mRNAs were down- than up-regulated at a false discovery rate (FDR) of 5%. GO term analysis by DAVID revealed that Mll3 is important for the regulation of cell differentiation and morphogenesis, and therefore for the maturation of the lung. Using GSEA we concluded that the most affected cell type was the alveolar epithelial type-I cells involved in gas exchange.

Project description:Lung epithelial injury leads to different pathologies, all associated with severe outcome and increased mortality. These pathologies are divided into chronic and acute diseases like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or the acute lung distress syndrome (ARDS). Hallmarks of both groups of lung diseases are a breakdown of the epithelial barrier and impairment of lung function. Repeated epithelial injury leads to chronic inflammation, fibroblast activation and ultimately to scarring and stiffening of the lung. The observed decline in lung function is the first symptom of IPF patients. As these changes are occurring slowly over time, patients only present to clinicians at a rather late stage. Therefore, disease driving mechanisms can only be estimated based on observed changes in biomarkers, the transcriptome or proteome. However, alterations in signalling pathways at a very early stage of disease development can only be investigated in vitro or in animal models. In this study a novel and flexible DTR/DT model of acute epithelial lung injury driven by AAV6.2 mediated human diphtheria toxin receptor (hDTR) expression was developed and characterized. The hDTR is sensitive for diphtheria toxin (DT), thereby inducing apoptosis by blocking protein synthesis. In contrast, a polymorphism of the murine DTR protects mice from DT mediated toxicity. The AAV6.2 variant transduces specifically into bronchial epithelial and alveolar epithelial type II cells leading to their depletion after DT administration. Using laser-capture microdissection different epithelial cell regions (bronchial epithelium and alveolar epithelium) were isolated from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded lung tissue of AAV-stuffer and AAV-hDTR mice, which were administered intratracheally with 100 ng DT for 24 h, and analyzed using mass spectrometry.

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 mesenchymal 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 mesenchymal cells contribute to pulmonary fibrosis but the cell-specific pathways and gene networks that are responsible for the pathophysiology are unknown. Our new findings have identified the aberrant activation of Sox9 in lung resident fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in IPF lung biopsies and the mouse model of transforming growth factor-α (TGFα) and bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, we sought to determine Sox9-driven gene networks in lung resident fibroblast during pulmonary fibrosis. Our results showed that Sox9 regulates the transcriptional changes that are required for the fibroblast activation including migration, myofibroblast transformation, survival and extracellular matrix deposition during pulmonary fibrosis. In summary, this new study demonstrates that Sox9 is a critical regulator of fibroblast activation in IPF and hence serve as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Stromal support is critical to the achievement of lung homeostasis and the maintenance of an effective epithelial barrier, and yet previous studies have found a positive association between the number of mesenchymal stromal cell populations (MSCs) isolated from the alveolar space and human diseases associated with epithelial dysfunctional. We hypothesised that alveolar MSCs (A-MSCs) represent a dysfunctional population which would be distinct from lung tissue MSCs (LT-MSCs) and which would not be recoverable from healthy humans. In this study, we comprehensively interrogated the phenotype and transcriptome of human A-MSCs and LT-MSCs. We found that MSCs were rarely recoverable from the alveolar space in healthy humans, but were readily isolated from lung transplant recipients, where they expressed a CD90Hi, CD73Hi, CD45Neg, CD105Lo immunophenotype and were bipotent, lacking adipogenic potential. In contrast, MSCs were readily recoverable from healthy lung tissue and were CD90Hi or Lo, CD73Hi, CD45Neg, CD105Int and had full tri-lineage potential. Transcriptome profiling of the two populations confirmed their status as MSCs and revealed a high degree of similarity between each other and the archetypal bone-marrow MSC. 105 genes were differentially expressed, with genes involved in fibroblast activation, extracellular matrix deposition and tissue remodelling being up-regulated in A-MSCs. Finally, we found the fibroblast markers collagen 1 and α-smooth muscle actin was increased in A-MSCs. Our data suggest that in healthy humans, lung MSCs reside within the tissue, but in disease can differentiate to acquire a profibrotic phenotype and so move out of their niche into the alveolar space.

Project description:Recent publications have implicated senescent alveolar epithelial cells as the cause of lung remodeling and fibrosis. We sought to better understand the heterogeneity in the basal epithelial cell population, especially with regards to characterizing senescent alveolar epithelial cells. The basal cell cultures contain a portion of cells that display a senescent phenotype and stain for a marker of senescence. We also sought to understanding the heterogeneity in the fibroblast population. Primary fibroblast cultures stained with myofibroblast markers show that only a portion of the cells are positive for ACTA2, suggesting that there are at least two distinct populations in this particular cell type. The diversity in this cell type remains uncharacterized at this point.
