Single-cell profiling of human subventricular zone progenitors identifies SFRP1 as a target for stimulating progenitor activation.

ABSTRACT: Following the decline of neurogenesis at birth, progenitors of the subventricular zone (SVZ) remain mostly in a quiescent state in the adult human brain. The mechanisms that regulate this quiescent state are still unclear. Here, we isolated CD271+ progenitors from the aged human SVZ for single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. Our transcriptome data revealed the identity of progenitors of the aged human SVZ as late oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. We identified the Wnt pathway antagonist SFRP1 as a possible signal that promotes quiescence of progenitors from the aged human SVZ. Administration of WAY-316606, a small molecule that inhibits SFRP1 function, stimulates activation of neural stem cells both in vitro and in vivo under homeostatic conditions. Our data unravel a possible mechanism through which progenitors of the adult human SVZ are maintained in a quiescent state and a potential target for stimulating progenitors to re-activate.

Transcriptome and proteome profiling of neural stem cells from the human subventricular zone in Parkinson's disease

Project description:It is currently accepted that the human brain has a limited neurogenic capacity and an impaired regenerative potential. We have previously shown the existence of CD271-expressing neural stem cells (NSCs) in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, which proliferate and differentiate towards neurons and glial cells in vitro. To study the molecular profile of these NSCs in detail, we performed RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry on CD271+ NSCs isolated from human post-mortem SVZ and on homogenates of the SVZ. CD271+ cells were isolated through magnetic cell separation (MACS). We first compared the molecular profile of CD271+ NSCs to the SVZ homogenate from control donors to assess the CD271+ NSCs gene signature and finally made a comparison between controls and PD patients to establish a specific molecular profile of NSCs and the SVZ in PD. While our transcriptome analysis did not identify any differentially expressed genes in the SVZ between control and PD patients, our proteome analysis revealed several proteins that were differentially expressed in PD. Some of these proteins are involved in cytoskeletal organization and mitochondrial function. Transcriptome and proteome analyses of NSCs from PD revealed changes in the expression of genes and proteins involved in metabolism, transcriptional activity and cytoskeletal organization. Our results not only confirm pathological hallmarks of PD (e.g. impaired mitochondrial function), but also suggest that NSCs may transit into a primed-quiescent state, that is in an “alert” non-proliferative phase in PD.

Organizational principles in glioblastoma: decoded by ptalign and targeted via SFRP1 [GBM]

Project description:Cancer research has largely focused on understanding mutations driving uncontrolled growth, leaving the organization of cellular hierarchies that sustain tumor progression less explored. We address this gap with ptalign, a tool that decodes such hierarchies in glioblastoma. By introducing the concept of pseudolineages mirroring adult neural stem cell lineages, we establish a correspondence between tumor pseudolineage and patient survival, devising biomarkers enabling cost-effective pseudolineage-based patient stratification. Comparing tumor pseudolineages to adult neural stem cell lineages, we identify the recurrent loss of the secreted Wnt antagonist SFRP1 in glioblastoma. This Wnt antagonist is expressed after the transition from dormant to quiescent neural stem cells, regulating their activation. Introducing SFRP1 into glioblastoma induced the generation of dormant astrocyte-like tumor cells, thereby increasing the quiescent tumor cell fraction and suggesting its potential as a target to arrest tumor progression. The insights facilitated by ptalign offer a new perspective on glioblastoma's cellular organization, providing a framework for understanding and treating glioblastomas and other solid tumors.

Autocrine Sfrp1 inhibits fibroblast invasion during transition to injury induced myofibroblasts - Tcf21 labeled mice

Project description:Fibroblast to myofibroblast conversion is a major driver of tissue remodeling in organ fibrosis. Here, we combined spatial transcriptomics, longitudinal single-cell RNA-seq and genetic lineage tracing to study fibroblast fates during mouse lung regeneration. We discovered a transitional fibroblast state characterized by high Sfrp1 expression, derived from both Tcf21-Cre lineage positive and negative cells. Sfrp1+ cells appeared early after injury in peribronchiolar, adventitial and alveolar locations and preceded the emergence of myofibroblasts. We identified lineage specific paracrine signals and inferred converging transcriptional trajectories towards Sfrp1+ transitional fibroblasts and Cthrc1+ myofibroblasts. Tgfβ1 downregulated Sfrp1 in non-invasive transitional cells and induced their switch to an invasive Cthrc1+ myofibroblast identity. Our study reveals the convergence of spatially and transcriptionally distinct fibroblast lineages into transcriptionally uniform myofibroblasts and identifies Sfrp1 as an autocrine inhibitor of fibroblast invasion during early stages of fibrogenesis.

Autocrine Sfrp1 inhibits lung fibroblast invasion during transition to injury induced myofibroblasts

Project description:Fibroblast to myofibroblast conversion is a major driver of tissue remodeling in organ fibrosis. Several distinct lineages of fibroblasts support homeostatic tissue niche functions, yet, specific activation states and phenotypic trajectories of fibroblasts during injury repair have remained unclear. Here, we combined spatial transcriptomics, longitudinal single-cell RNA-seq and genetic lineage tracing to study fibroblast fates during mouse lung regeneration. We discovered a transitional fibroblast state characterized by high Sfrp1 expression, derived from both Tcf21-Cre lineage positive and negative cells. Sfrp1+ cells appeared early after injury in peribronchiolar, adventitial and alveolar locations and preceded the emergence of myofibroblasts. We identified lineage specific paracrine signals and inferred converging transcriptional trajectories towards Sfrp1+ transitional fibroblasts and Cthrc1+ myofibroblasts. Tgfβ1 downregulated Sfrp1 in non-invasive transitional cells and induced their switch to an invasive Cthrc1+ myofibroblast identity. Finally, using loss of function experiments we show that autocrine Sfrp1 directly inhibits fibroblast invasion by regulating the RhoA pathway. In summary, our study reveals the convergence of spatially and transcriptionally distinct fibroblast lineages into transcriptionally uniform myofibroblasts and identifies Sfrp1 as an autocrine inhibitor of fibroblast invasion during early stages of fibrogenesis.

Gene expression profile of cancer stem cells (CSCs) isolated from wild type (WT) and Sfrp1-/- mice skin squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)

Project description:Sfrp1 is a Wnt inhibitor that is down regulated in various human cancers such as acute myeloid leukaemia, hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic, ovarian and breast cancer etc. Our study has shown that the loss of Sfrp1 in mouse skin leads to early tumor initiation with induced skin chemical carcinogenesis. Further, CSCs isolated from the Sfrp1-/- tumors showed increased in vivo tumorigenic potential with enhanced tumor propagating cell (TPC) frequency when injected into NOD/SCID mice. Hence, in order to understand the molecular mechanism involved in CSC regulation in the absence of sfrp1, we have performed microarray analysis on CSCs isolated from mice skin SCC. The data showed upregulation of genes involved in the regulation of tumor aggressiveness, metastasis and stemness in Sfrp1-/- CSCs as compared to WT CSCs. Our study has provided significant contribution to the existing knowledge of Sfrp1 by showing the uncharted role of Sfrp1 in tumor initiation and CSC regulation.

Single cell RNA sequencing of aging neural progenitors reveals loss of excitatory neuron potential and a population with transcriptional immune response (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:In the adult murine brain, neural stem cells (NSCs) reside in two main niches, the dentate gyrus (DG), and the subventricular zone (SVZ). In the DG, NSCs give rise to intermediate progenitors that differentiate into excitatory neurons, while progenitors in the SVZ migrate to the olfactory bulb (OB) where they mainly differentiate into inhibitory interneurons. Neurogenesis, the production of new neurons, persists throughout life but decrease dramatically during aging, concomitantly with increased inflammation. Many cell types, including microglia, undergo dramatic transcriptional changes but few such changes have been detected in neural progenitors. Furthermore, transcriptional profiles in progenitors from different neurogenic regions have not been compared at single cell level, and little is known about how they are affected by age-related inflammation. We have generated a single cell RNA sequencing dataset enriched for intermediate progenitors, which revealed that most aged neural progenitors only acquire minor transcriptional changes. However, progenitors set to become excitatory neurons decrease faster than others. In addition, a population in the aged SVZ, not detected in the OB, acquired major transcriptional activation related to immune responses. This suggests that differences in age related neurogenic decline between regions is not due to tissue differences but rather cell type specific intrinsic transcriptional programs, and that subset of neuroblasts in the SVZ react strongly to age related inflammatory cues.

Fibroblast-derived extracellular vesicles contain SFRP1 and mediate pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a lethal chronic lung disease characterized by aberrant intercellular communication, extracellular matrix deposition and destruction of functional lung tissue. While extracellular vesicles (EVs) accumulate in the IPF lung, their cargo and biological effects remain unclear. We interrogated the proteome of EV and non-EV fractions during pulmonary fibrosis and characterize their contribution to fibrosis. EVs accumulated 14 days post-bleomycin challenge, correlating with decreased lung function and initiated fibrogenesis in healthy precision-cut lung slices. Label-free proteomics of broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF)-EVs collected from mice challenged with bleomycin or control identified 107 proteins enriched in fibrotic vesicles. Multiomic analysis revealed fibroblasts as a major cellular source of BALF-EV cargo, which was enriched in Secreted Frizzled Related Protein 1 (SFRP1). Sfrp1 deficiency inhibited the activity of fibroblast-derived EVs to potentiate lung fibrosis in vivo. SFRP1 led to increased transitional cell markers, such as Krt8, and WNT/β-catenin signaling in primary alveolar type 2 cells. SFRP1 is expressed within the IPF lung and localized at the surface of EVs from patient-derived fibroblasts and BALF. Our work reveals altered EV protein cargo in fibrotic EVs promoting fibrogenesis and identifies fibroblast derived vesicular SFRP1 as fibrotic mediator and potential therapeutic target for IPF.

RNA-sequencing gene expression data from FACS-purified Ventricular-Subventricular Zone (V-SVZ) and cortical cells from hGFAP::GFP mice.

Project description:Quiescent neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) undergo activation and divide to generate neurons and glia. Here we show that Platelet-derived Growth Factor Receptor beta (PDGFRβ) is expressed by quiescent and early activated adult V-SVZ NSCs, and maintains their quiescence. We further showed that selective deletion of PDGFRβ in adult V-SVZ NSCs leads to activation of quiescent NSCs. We performed RNA-seq on FACS-sorted V-SVZ quiescent, early activated and late activated NSCs, as well as cortical cells from adult 2-4 month old mice.
