A single-cell chromatin accessibility map of pulmonary alveologenesis in humans and mice

ABSTRACT: Regulation of lung responses to air breathing and continued alveolar development shape ex-utero and adult respiratory health. Applying single-cell transposome hypersensitive site sequencing (scTHS-seq) to human and mouse lung, we assembled a regulatory atlas of postnatal lung development and analyzed over 80,000 single-cells. From day of life 1, we characterized cell types and cell-cell interactions driving alveoli generation. We elucidated key transcription factor-gene accessibility modules (TF-GAM) guiding alveolar epithelial cell differentiation and epithelial-mesenchymal interactions involved in alveolar septation and mechanotransduction. Incorporating GWAS causal variants, we identified lung pathogenic risk units enriched in specific cell types. Our regulatory map and analysis model provide an effective resource to investigate age-dependent and species-specific control of critical developmental processes. Furthermore, this resource complements single-cell atlas efforts to advance our understanding of lung health and disease across the human lifespan.

Emergence of Wnt signaling during lung alveologenesis expands and maintains the type 2 alveolar epithelial cell population

Project description:Alveologenesis is the culmination of lung development and involves the correct temporal and spatial signals to generate the delicate gas exchange interface. Using a novel Wnt signaling reporter system, we have identified a Wnt-responsive alveolar epithelial sublineage arising during alveologenesis called the axin2+ alveolar type 2 cell or AT2Aaxin2. The number of AT2Aaxin2 sublineage cells increases substantially during late lung development, revealing a wave of Wnt signaling during alveologenesis. Transcriptome analysis, in vivo clonal analysis, and ex vivo lung organoid assays reveal that AT2sAaxin2s promote enhanced AT2 cellalveolar growth during generation of the alveolus compared to the overall AT2 population. Activating Wnt signaling in the AT2 lineage results in expansion of the AT2axin2 sublineageAT2s whereas inhibition of Wnt signaling inhibits AT2 cell development and shunts alveolar epithelial development towards the AT1 cell lineage. These findings reveal a novel epithelial sublineage that coordinates Wnt-dependent alveolar growthAT2 expansion required for lung alveologenesis

Single Cell Analysis of Pulmonary Fibrosis

Project description:<p>Pulmonary fibrosis is a heterogenous syndrome in which fibrotic scar replaces normal lung tissue. We performed massively parallel single-cell RNA-Seq on lung tissue from eight lung transplant donors and eight patients with pulmonary fibrosis. Combined with in situ RNA hybridization, with amplification, these data provide a molecular atlas of disease pathobiology. We identified a distinct, novel population of profibrotic alveolar macrophages exclusively in patients with fibrosis. Within epithelial cells, the expression of genes involved in Wnt secretion and response was restricted to non-overlapping cells. We identified rare cell populations including airway stem cells and senescent cells emerging during pulmonary fibrosis. Analysis of a cryobiopsy specimen from a patient with early disease supports the clinical application of single-cell RNA-Seq to develop personalized approaches to therapy.</p>

Santos2018 - Pneumococcal infection in alveoli

Project description:Multiscale mathematical model of pneumococcal alveolar infection. This model analyses the role of cellular and molecular interactions during the first 10 h after alveolar invasion of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. By “multi-level” we mean that we simulated the interplay between different temporal and spatial scales in a single computational model. In this instance, we included the intracellular scale of processes driving lung epithelial cell activation together with the scale of cell-to-cell interactions between bacteria and alveolar macrophages at the alveolar tissue. The model combines agent-based modelling and ODE modelling strategies. The original article of the article can be found in https://doi.org/10.3389/fcimb.2018.00159.

A mammalian Wnt5a–Ror2–Vangl2 axis controls the cytoskeleton and confers cellular properties required for alveologenesis

Project description:Alveolar formation increases the surface area for gas-exchange and is key to the physiological function of the lung. Alveolar epithelial cells, myofibroblasts and endothelial cells undergo coordinated morphogenesis to generate epithelial folds (secondary septa) within the saccules to form alveoli. A mechanistic understanding of alveologenesis remains incomplete. We found that the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway is required in both alveolar epithelial cells and myofibroblasts for alveologenesis. Our studies uncovered a Wnt5a–Ror2–Vangl2 cascade that endows cellular properties and thus novel mechanisms of alveologenesis. This includes PDGF secretion from alveolar type I and type II cells, cell shape changes of type I cells and migration of myofibroblasts. All these cellular properties are conferred by changes in the cytoskeleton and represent a new facet of PCP function. These results extend our current model of PCP signaling from polarizing a field of epithelial cells to conferring new properties at subcellular levels to regulate collective cell behavior.

Immune cells direct epithelial maturation during early human lung development

Project description:The adult human lung harbours a significant proportion of immune cells, which are known to play a crucial role in both normal lung homeostasis and pathogenesis. In this work, we collected CD45-enriched human lung cells from 6 to 22 week post conception (pcw) and built a single-cell transcriptome and proteome atlas. We showed a biphasic mode of immune cell development peaking at 8-9 and 20 pcw respectively. The developing immune cells potentially modulate the maturation of the epithelium through signalling molecules. We demonstrated using the lung organoid model that IL-1ß was required for epithelium differentiation. Overall, we provide a resource for the community of lung biologists and immunologists and provide insights on the interaction between the innate immune system and epithelium during fetal development.

Multiplexed single-cell transcriptomic analysis of normal and impaired lung development in the mouse

Project description:During late lung development, alveolar and microvascular development is finalized to enable sufficient gas exchange. Impaired late lung development manifests as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) allows for assessment of complex cellular dynamics during biological processes, such as development. Here, we use MULTI-seq to generate scRNA-seq profiles of over 66,000 cells from 36 mice during normal or impaired lung development secondary to hyperoxia. We observed dynamic populations of cells, including several rare cell types and putative progenitors. Hyperoxia exposure, which mimics the BPD phenotype, alters the composition of all cellular compartments, particularly alveolar epithelium, capillary endothelium and macrophage populations. Pathway analysis and predicted dynamic cellular crosstalk suggests inflammatory signalling as the main driver of hyperoxia-induced changes. Our data provides a novel single-cell view of cellular changes associated with late lung development in health and in disease.

Regulation of IL-33 alarmin production from lung epithelial cells via CLEC-2:Podoplanin interactions

Project description:Lung epithelial cells produce alarmins that promote allergic inflammation, however, the molecular mechanisms that regulate alarmin expression and production have not been fully elucidated. We constructed an integrated single-cell RNA-seq atlas of murine airways, lung, and vagal nerves, which we use to characterize novel lung cell subsets and infer intercellular interactions, including an interaction between podoplanin (PDPN) on alveolar epithelial cells and C-type Lectin-like Receptor-2 (CLEC-2/Clec1b) on alveolar macrophages that controls the expression of IL-33. Clec1b-/- mice spontaneously develop allergic airway inflammation with increased Il33 expression in alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells and airway-associated fibroblasts; this airway inflammation is ameliorated by co-deletion of the IL-33 receptor, Il1rl1 (ST2). Myeloid cell-specific deletion of Clec1b and acute blockade of endogenous CLEC-2:PDPN interactions in vivo also promote type 2 immune responses in airway inflammation. Organoid experiments reveal that the regulation of AT2 Il33 expression by CLEC-2:PDPN interactions is directly mediated by alveolar macrophages. Single-cell characterization of house dust mite (HDM)-induced asthma reveals a smaller population of Clec1b expressing alveolar macrophages and increased Il33 expression by AT2 cells. Thus, our study has identified the CLEC-2:PDPN pathway as an important regulator of epithelial alarmin production and induction of type 2 immunity.

Predictive protein biomarker signatures and the corresponding transcriptional cell state changes in human lung fibrosis (Plasma)

Project description:Single cell genomics enables characterization of disease specific cell states, while improvements in mass spectrometry workflows bring the clinical use of body fluid proteomics within reach. However, the correspondence of peripheral protein signatures to changes in cell state in diseased organs is currently unknown. Here, we leverage single cell RNA-seq and proteomics from large patient cohorts of pulmonary fibrosis to establish that predictive protein signatures in body fluids correspond to specific cellular changes in the lung. We determined transcriptional changes in 45 cell types across three patient cohorts and quantified bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and plasma proteins to discover protein signatures and associated cell state changes that were linked to diagnosis, lung function, smoking and injury status. Altered expression of the novel marker of lung health CRTAC1 in alveolar epithelium is robustly reported in patient plasma. With further improvements of this concept and deeper coverage of plasma proteomes, we envision future longitudinal profiling of body fluid signatures coupled to machine learning for non-invasive prediction and monitoring of pathological cell state changes in patient organs.
