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:We profile the transcriptomes of over 5,000 mouse single cells, yielding molecular definitions for mesenchymal cell types present in heathy cycling mouse uterus. We uncover novel heterogeneity within the Pdgfrb+ mesenchymal cell compartment of the mouse uterus, defining five subpopulations including two closely related Cspg4+ pericytes/vascular smooth muscle cells and three Pdgfra+Cd34+ subpopulations of fibroblasts.Our work dissects cellular heterogeneity within the mouse uterine mesenchyme providing a platform to understand the roles of these cell populations in uterine physiology and disease and for comparisons between mesenchymal cells in endometirum and other adult tissue which are prone to fibrosis.

Project description:A population of endometrial cells displaying key properties of mesenchymal stem cells (eMSC) has been identified in human endometrium. eMSC co-express CD146 and PDGFRB surface markers, have a perivascular location, and likely represent the reservoir of progenitors giving rise to the endometrial stromal fibroblast lineage. Endometrial stromal cells isolated from 16 oocyte donors and 3 benign gynecologic surgery subjects were FACS sorted into four populations: CD146+/PDGFRB+ (eMSC); CD146+/PDGFRB- (endothelial cells); CD146-/PDGFRB+ (stromal fibroblasts); CD146-/PDGFRB- (mixed population) then subjected to gene expression analysis on Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays, and differentially expressed genes compared between eMSC, stromal fibroblast, and endothelial cell populations. Ninety-two genes were validated by multiplex quantitative RT-PCR on seventy of these sorted cell populations. Immunohistochemistry was used to verify the perivascular location of eMSCs.Principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering showed eMSC clustering discretely near stromal fibroblasts and separately from endothelial cells. eMSC expressed pericyte markers and genes involved hypoxia response, inflammation, proteolysis, and angiogenesis/vasculogenesis – all relevant to endometrial tissue breakdown and regeneration. Additionally, eMSC displayed distinct gene profiles for cell-cell communication and regulation of gene expression. Overall, the phenotype of the eMSC is that of a multipotent pericyte responsive to hypoxic, proteolytic, and inflammatory stimuli, able to induce angiogenesis, migrate and differentiate into lineage cells, and potentially respond to estradiol and progesterone. Identifying the pathways and gene families described herein in the context of the endometrial niche, will be valuable in understanding normal and abnormal endometrial development in utero and differentiation in adult uterus. The multipotent, perivascular endometrial mesenchymal stem cell has a “niche phenotype” of high Notch, TGFB, IGF, and Hedgehog and low canonical/non-canonical Wnt and EGF signaling. Oocyte donors with no known uterine pathology underwent endometrial biopsy at the time of oocyte retrieval, following comparable GnHR agonist downregulated ovarian stimulation protocols. Tissue was digested and stromal cells isolated and sorted based on expression of CD146 and PDGFRB. RNA was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. Resulting data were compared between sorted isolated cell populations.

Project description:Regulators of G protein signaling (RGS proteins) constrain G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-mediated and other responses throughout the body primarily, but not exclusively, through their GTPase activating (GAP) activity. Asthma is a highly prevalent condition characterized by airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) to environmental stimuli resulting in part from amplified GPCR-mediated airway smooth muscle (ASM) contractility. Rgs2 or Rgs5 gene deletion in mice enhances AHR and ASM contraction whereas RGS4 knockout (KO) mice unexpectedly have decreased AHR due to increased production of the bronchodilator prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by lung epithelial cells. Here we found that knockin mice harboring Rgs4 alleles encoding a point mutation (N128A) that sharply curtails RGS4 GAP activity had increased AHR, reduced airway PGE2 levels, and augmented GPCR-induced bronchial contraction compared to either RGS4 KO mice or WT controls. RGS4 interacted with the p85a subunit of PI3 kinase (PI3K) and inhibited PI3K-dependent PGE2 secretion elicited by TGFb in airway epithelial cells. Together these findings suggest that RGS4 affects asthma severity in part by regulating the airway inflammatory milieu in a G protein-independent manner.

Project description:We previously derived a doxycycline-inducible (Tet-On) lineage-tracing model that allows for the indelible labeling of Pdgfrb-expressing perivascular cells in adipose tissue of adult mice (PdgfrbrtTA; TRE-Cre; Rosa26RmT/mG; herein, “MuralChaser mice”). Prior to exposing animals to doxycyline, all cells within the stromal-vascular fraction (SVF) of adult gonadal WAT (gWAT) express membrane tdTomato from the Rosa26 locus. Following 9 days of exposure to doxycycline-containing chow diet, Cre-mediated excision of the loxP-flanked tdTomato cassette occurs in Pdgfrb-expressing cells, and membrane-bound GFP (mGFP) expression is constitutively activated. We set out to test the hypothesis that Pdgfrb-expressing perivascular cells in gonadal visceral WAT of adult mice are heterogeneous, with subpopulations harboring functionally distinct phenotypes. To this end, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing of mGFP+ cells isolated from gWAT of lean (chow fed) 8 weeks-old male MuralChaser mice following 9 days of doxycycline exposure.

Project description:Objective: To evaluate the composition and function of mural cell populations in human gingival tissues Results: Two mural cell clusters, RGS5+THY1+ and ACTA2+MYH11+ subpopulations, were identified and confirmed by histological staining and cross-validation with three different single-cell RNA sequencing datasets in the GEO database. RGS5+THY1+ cluster in perivascular areas possessed cellular protrusions and exhibited immunomodulatory and synthetic phenotypes. In contrast, the ACTA2+MYH11+ cluster strictly distributed around vessel walls was characterized by a contractile phenotype. Mural cells closely interacted with endothelial cells through PDGF and NOTCH3 signaling. Mural cell loss was detected in the v_i group and in hopeless periodontal teeth, which might be caused by tumor necrosis factor-alpha induced apoptosis.

Project description:Chronic low-grade visceral white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation is a hallmark of metabolic syndrome in obesity. Here, we demonstrate that a subpopulation of adipose tissue perivascular (PDGFRb+) cells, termed “fibro-inflammatory progenitors” (FIPs), activate pro-inflammatory signaling cascades shortly after the onset of high-fat diet feeding of mice and regulate pro-inflammatory macrophage accumulation in WAT in a TLR4-dependent manner. FIPs activation in obesity is mediated by the downregulation of ZFP423, identified here as a transcriptional co-regulator of NFkB. Biochemical analysis of ZFP423-protein complexes and ChIP-seq analysis reveal that ZFP423 suppresses the DNA-binding capacity of the p65 subunit of NFkB by inducing a p300 to NuRD co-regulator switch. Doxycycline-inducible expression of Zfp423 in PDGFRb+ cells suppresses inflammatory signaling in FIPs and attenuates metabolic inflammation of visceral WAT in obesity. Inducible inactivation of Zfp423 in PDGFRb+ cells increases FIP activity, exacerbates adipose macrophage accrual, and promotes WAT dysfunction. These studies implicate perivascular mesenchymal cells as important regulators of chronic adipose tissue inflammation in obesity and identify ZFP423 as a transcriptional break on NFkB signaling.
