Single-cell RNA-sequencing reveals profibrotic roles of distinct epithelial and mesenchymal lineages in pulmonary fibrosis

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a form of chronic lung disease characterized by progressive destruction of normal alveolar gas-exchange surfaces and accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). In order to comprehensively define the cell types, mechanisms and mediators driving ECM deposition and fibrotic remodeling in lungs with pulmonary fibrosis, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) of single-cell suspensions generated from non-fibrotic control and PF lungs. Analysis of over 114,000 cells from 20 PF and 10 control lungs identified 31 distinct cell types. We identified multiple distinct lineages directly contribute to ECM expansion, including a novel HAS1hi fibroblast subtype and a previously undescribed KRT5-/KRT17+, collagen and ECM-producing epithelial cell population that was highly enriched in PF lungs. Together these data provide high-resolution insights into the basic mechanisms of pulmonary fibrosis, and indicate a direct profibrotic role of the lung epithelium in PF pathogenesis.

Lung extracellular matrix modulates KRT5+ basal cell activity in pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:Aberrant expansion of KRT5+ basal cells in the distal lung accompanies progressive alveolar epithelial cell loss and tissue remodelling during fibrogenesis in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The mechanisms determining activity of KRT5+ cells in IPF have not been delineated. Here, we show an association between KRT5+ cells in human fibrotic lung and regional differences in collagen topography. In vitro, KRT5+ cell migratory characteristics and expression of remodelling genes are modulated by extracellular matrix (ECM) composition and organisation. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics revealed compositional differences in the matrisome secreted by primary human lung fibroblasts (HLF) from IPF patients compared to controls. Over-expression of ECM glycoprotein, Secreted Protein Acidic and Cysteine Rich (SPARC) in the IPF HLF matrisome restricts KRT5+ cell migration in vitro. Together, our findings demonstrate that changes to the ECM in IPF directly influence KRT5+ cell behaviour and function contributing to remodelling events in the fibrotic niche.

Monoclonal Antibody Targeting Pear1 for Pulmonary Fibrosis Therapy [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic interstitial lung disease that causes irreversible and progressive lung scarring and respiratory failure. Activation of fibroblasts (FBs) play a central role in progression of PF. Here we report that platelet endothelial aggregation receptor 1 (Pear1) in FBs is a new molecular target for PF therapy. Pear1 deficiency spontaneously caused respiratory function decline and alveolar collagens accumulation in old mice. The degree of PF and mortality induced by bleomycin were significantly enhanced in Pear1 deficient mice. FB Mesenchyme-specific Pear1 deficiency aggravated bleomycin-induced PF, confirming that Pear1 modulates PF progression probably byvia regulation of FBs function. Single cell RNA-seq analysis of pulmonary FB and functional enrichment analysis revealed drastic expansion of Aactivated- FB clusters and enrichment of activated FB marker genes in extracellular matrix (ECM) development and pulmonary fibrosis in Pear1-/- fibrotic lungs. CD140+ bulk tissue RNA-seq analysis further confirmed that multiple mesenchyme development pathways especially epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) are enriched with up-regulated genes involving FB mediated ECM organization and development in in Pear1-/- fibrotic lungs. We further found that Pear1 associated with Protein Phosphatase 1 to suppress fibrotic factors such as TGFß, FGF or PDGF-induced intracellular signalling and FB activation. Intratracheal aerosolization of monoclonal antibody activating Pear1 greatly ameliorates PF in both wild-type mice and Pear1-humanized mice, suggesting that targeting Pear1 may serve as a new therapeutic strategy for PF.

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

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals profibrotic roles of three kinds of cells in pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a serious chronic pulmonary disease, and lung transplantation is currently the only treatment option that can prolong patient survival. A greater understanding of the transcriptomes of cells related to the pathogenesis of PF can elucidate the impact of different cell types on its occurrence and development. To this end, we performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify key cells and their biological processes in PF. We analyzed the transcriptomes of a total of 36400 cells isolated from the lungs of control and bleomycin-stimulated mice, and observed significant changes in the macrophages, fibroblasts and epithelial cells in the PF model. The macrophages were divided into alveolar macrophages (AMs) and interstitial macrophages (IMs). Based on the anatomical location, the fibroblasts were classified as alveolar fibroblasts, adventitial fibroblasts and peribronchial fibroblasts. Finally, the epithelial cells were divided into the type I alveolar epithelial cells, transitional type II alveolar epithelial cells, and Scgb3a2+ epithelial cells. The subgroups were further classified into key cell clusters to identify the signaling pathways involved in fibrotic progression. Finally, we identified several ligand-receptor complexes that mediate the communication between microphages, fibroblasts and epithelial cells during PF development. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying PF, along with potential therapeutic targets.

Alteration in the transcriptome of the lung during TGFα-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-α (TGFα)-induced fibrosis include conditionally expressing TGFα in the lung epithelium under control of the CCSP promoter driving rtTA expression (CCSP/TGFα). This allow the TGFα is only expressed in airway and alveolar epithelial cells and only when mice fed doxycycline (Dox). Similar to PF in humans, TGFα mice on Dox developed a progressive and extensive adventitial, interstitial and pleural fibrosis with a decline in lung mechanics. Thus, the TGFα 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 TGFα-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Our results showed that several pro-fibrotic genes increased in the lungs of TGFα mice.
