Project description:Purpose: Pericytes, the mural cells of blood microvessels, have come into focus as regulators of microvascular development and function, but due to paucity of defining markers, the identification and functional characterization of PC remain problematic, and reported data are often controversial. Here, we used a new approach for the isolation of mural cell from mouse brain in combination with RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and previously published vascular transcriptome data to assemble a state-of-the-art catalogue of brain mural cell-enriched gene transcripts. Methods: We isolated double positive cells from the brain of Pdgfrb-eGFP/NG2-DsRed transgenic mice using FACS. Cells were lysed, RNA extracted and sequenced with next-generation sequencing (NGS). For comparison, we also determined the transcriptome of brain microvascular fragments (containing both endothelial cells and mural cells) isolated by mechanical tissue disintegration, collagenase digestion and immune-panning using anti-CD31 antibodies coupled to magnetic beads. The reads were aligned to the Ensembl mouse gene assembly (NCBIM37) using Tophat2 software (version 2.0.4). The duplicated reads were removed using the picard tool (version 1.92). To identify the genes significantly enriched in the pericyte samples as compared with microvascular samples, statistical tests were performed using the Cufflinks tool (version 2.2.1) Results: The result showed that mRNA transcripts representing 856 different genes were enriched more than two-fold in FACS isolated Pdgfrb-eGFP/NG2-DsRed double positive cells compared with whole microvascular fragments (False Discovery Rate < 0.05) The RNA from three FACS sorted brain mural cell samples and three whole brain microvascular samples isolated from three animals were processed and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform in the sequencing facility in Uppsala University.

Project description:Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling regulates perivascular cell or mural cell association with the blood-vessel endothelial cells. Mural cells express the receptor of the signaling, pdgfrb. Besides mural cells the outer epithelial layer of the heart, epicardium and epicardial derived cells express pdgfrb. In this dataset we characterized pdgfrb expressing cells in adult zebrafish heart ventricles in AB wildtype fish, pdgfrb loss-of-function mutant fish. Since pdgfrb is activated in injured zebrafish heart, we aslo compared pdgfrb expressing cells in injured (amputated, 7 days post amputation) heart ventricle with similar cells in uninjured hearts.

Project description:Various transgenic CreER;tdTomato mouse-lines (Pdgfrb-CreER, Col1a1-CreER, Gli1-CreER, Cdh5-CreER, Myh11-CreER, Ng2-CreER) were pulsed with tamoxifen and subjected to either Sham or TAC surgery at 21 days after tamoxifen induction. Two and four weeks later, tdTomato-positive cells were isolated from hearts by FACS sorting and 10x Genomics scRNA 3'RNA sequencing pipeline was applied. We identified fibroblast, endothelial cells, mural cells and Schwann cells as major cardiac cell types in our samples. Gene expression changes between subtypes of the major cell types point towards a general upregulation of extra cellular matrix related genes, with fibroblasts being the highest producer.

Project description:Molecular characterization of the individual cell types in human kidney as well as model organisms are critical in defining organ function and understanding translational aspects of biomedical research. Previous studies have uncovered gene expression profiles of several kidney glomerular cell types, however, important cells, including mesangial (MCs) and glomerular parietal epithelial cells (PECs), were missing or incompletely described, and a systematic comparison between mouse and human kidney is lacking. To this end, we used Smart-seq2 to profile 4332 individual glomerulus-associated cells isolated from human living donor renal biopsies and mouse kidney. The analysis revealed genetic programs for all four glomerular cell types (podocytes, glomerular endothelial cells, MCs and PECs) as well as rare glomerulus-associated macula densa cells (MDCs). Importantly, we detected heterogeneity in glomerulus-associated Pdgfrb-expressing cells, including bona fide intraglomerular MCs with the functionally active phagocytic molecular machinery, as well as a unique mural cell type located in the central stalk region of the glomerulus tuft. Furthermore, we observed remarkable species differences in the individual gene expression profiles of defined glomerular cell types that highlight translational challenges in the field and provide a guide to design translational studies.

Project description:The elaborate patterning of coronary arteries critically supports the high metabolic activity of the beating heart. How coronary endothelial cells coordinate hierarchical vascular remodeling and achieve arteriovenous specification remains largely unknown. Understanding the molecular and cellular cues that pattern coronary arteries is crucial to develop innovative therapeutic strategies that restore functional perfusion within the ischemic heart. Single-cell transcriptomics were used to delineate heterogeneous transcriptional states of the developing and mature coronary endothelium with a focus on sprouting endothelium and arterial cell specification. We discovered that a tip-cell-to-artery specification mechanism drives arterialization of the intramyocardial plexus and endocardial tunnels throughout life. We also identified non-overlapping intramyocardial and subepicardial tip cell populations with differential gene expression profiles and regulatory pathways, suggesting that differential sprouting programs govern the formation and specification of the venous and arterial coronary plexus.
