Improving fibroblast characterization using single-cell RNA sequencing: an optimized tissue disaggregation and data processing pipeline

ABSTRACT: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) provides a valuable platform for characterising multicellular ecosystems. Fibroblasts are a heterogeneous cell type involved in many physiological and pathological processes, but remain poorly-characterised. Analysis of fibroblasts is challenging: these cells are difficult to isolate from tissues, and are therefore commonly under-represented in scRNA-seq datasets. Here, we describe an optimised approach for fibroblast isolation from human lung tissues. We demonstrate the potential for this procedure in characterising stromal cell phenotypes using scRNA-Seq, analyse the effect of tissue disaggregation on gene expression, and optimise data processing to improve clustering quality. We also assess the impact of in vitro culture conditions on stromal cell gene expression and proliferation, showing that altering these conditions can skew phenotypes.

Single cell RNA sequencing from organoid stroma derived from E16 salivary glands.

Project description:Purpose: Use scRNA Seq to find stromal subpopulations and define how these subpopulations contribute to salivary gland proacinar differentiation. Method: scRNA Seq on stromal enriched cells from E16 salivary organoids. Model closely related cells using PCA and UMAP regressions. Find genes that broadly and specifically define cell subpopulations. Results: The stromal fibroblasts have multiple subpopulations. Stromal cells can be subdivided by their expression of Pdgfra, Pdgfrb, Thy1, and Acta2. Conclusions: Organoids grown with FGF2 selects for Pdgfra expressing stroma and without FGF2 Acta2 stroma dominates.

Archival chromatin sequencing in eastern water dragon museum specimens

Project description:Formalin induces inter- and intra-molecular crosslinks within exposed cells. This cross-linking can be exploited to characterise chromatin state as in the MNase (micrococcal nuclease) assays. Our team aims to optimise these assays for application in museum preserved formalin-exposed specimens. To do so, we applied an optimised MNase assay to fresh-frozen and archival eastern water dragon specimens, as old as 1905. We found that heavy formalin fixation modulates rather than eliminates signatures of differential chromatin accessibility and that these chromatin profiles are sex-specific and environmental condition dependent.

SenPred: A single-cell RNA sequencing-based machine learning pipeline to classify deeply senescent dermal fibroblast cells for the detection of an in vivo senescent cell burden

Project description:Background - Senescence classification is an acknowledged challenge within the field, as markers are cell-type and context dependent. Currently, multiple morphological and immunofluorescence markers are required. However, emerging scRNA-seq datasets have enabled increased understanding of senescent cell heterogeneity. Methods - Here we present SenPred, a machine-learning pipeline which identifies fibroblast senescence based on single-cell transcriptomics from fibroblasts grown in 2D and 3D. Results - Using scRNA-seq of both 2D and 3D deeply senescent fibroblasts, the model predicts intra-experimental fibroblast senescence to a high degree of accuracy (>99% true positives). Applying SenPred to in vivo whole skin scRNA-seq datasets reveals that cells grown in 2D cannot accurately detect fibroblast senescence in vivo. Importantly, utilising scRNA-seq from 3D deeply senescent fibroblasts refines our ML model leading to improved detection of senescent cells in vivo. This is context specific, with the SenPred pipeline proving effective when detecting senescent human dermal fibroblasts in vivo, but not senescence of lung fibroblasts or whole skin. Conclusions - We position this as a proof-of-concept study based on currently available scRNA-seq datasets, with the intention to build a holistic model to detect multiple senescent triggers using future emerging datasets. The development of SenPred has allowed for detection of an in vivo senescent fibroblast burden in human skin, which could have broader implications for the treatment of age-related morbidities.

Single cell RNA sequencing from stroma in the E16 salivary gland

Project description:Purpose: Use scRNA Seq to find B10stromal subpopulations and define how these subpopulations contribute to salivary gland proacinar differentiation. Method: scRNA Seq on stromal enriched cells from E16 salivary glands. Model closely related cells using PCA and UMAP regressions. Find genes that broadly and specifically define cell subpopulations. Results: The epithelium and stromal fibroblasts have multiple subpopulations. Stromal cells can be subdivided by their expression of Pdgfra, Pdgfrb, Thy1, Wnt2, and Acta2. Conclusions: Pdgfra expressing stroma specifically use BMP7 to promote proacinar differentiation.

Single-Cell RNA-seq Reveals Obesity-Induced Alterations in the BRAC1 Mutant Mammary Tumor Microenvironment

Project description:In this study, we conducted single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies to investigate the impact of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity on transcriptomic landscapes of stromal and immune cells in mammary glands of Brca1-/-;p53+/- mice, an animal breast cancer model. The scRNA-seq profiling data showed that five different subtypes of stromal fibroblasts existed in mouse mammary glands. HFD-induced obesity led to upregulated expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) genes (Col3a1, Col6a3, Eln, and Sparc) and downregulated expression of immunoregulatory genes (Iigp1, Ccl2, and Cxcl10) in these stromal subtype cells. These findings, taken together, suggest that obesity alters the ECM composition and immune ecosystem through modulating the functionality of mammary stromal cells. Moreover, scRNA-seq analysis of mammary immune cells indicated that HFD-induced obesity promoted the generation and/or recruiting of pro-tumorigenic M2 macrophages in mammary glands.

Gene expression profiling of primary human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) cultured as 2D monolayers and 3D cellular aggregates (spheroids)

Project description:Human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are conventionally cultured as adherent monolayers on tissue culture plastic. MSCs can also be cultured as 3D cell aggregates (spheroids). Optimised 3D conditions (60,000 MSCs cultured as a spheroid for 5 days) inhibited MSC proliferation and induced cell shrinkage in the absence of cell death. Primary human MSCs isolated from 2 donors were cultured under both monolayer (2D MSCs) and optimised 3D (3D MSCs) conditions. High quality RNA was isolated from all samples, and global gene expression analysis was performed in duplicate (using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 8x60K v2 Microarrays) to identify gene expression changes in 3D compared to 2D MSC cultures.
