Single-cell RNA sequencing of airway submucosal glands in wild-type and cystic fibrosis Pigs

ABSTRACT: Submucosal glands (SMGs) in the upper respiratory system of mammals play important roles in fluid secretion, mucociliary transport, and host defense. In people with cystic fibrosis (CF), airway mucus obstruction and SMG duct occlusion are hallmark features. Although intensive investigations have focused on airway surface epithelium in normal and diseased lungs, our knowledge of SMGs is limited in terms of cell biology and physiology. Here, we conducted single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of airway SMGs in newborn piglets. First, we dissected individual SMGs and surrounding non-epithelial tissues from newborn non-CF (n = 4) and CF (n = 4) pig trachea. Second, we did scRNA-seq using 10x genomics chromium platform. Third, we processed the raw sequencing data using an improved RefSeq pig genome reference. Last, we integrated all samples together and clustered cells into 14 major cell clusters using Seurat R toolkit (Stuart et al., 2019). These data allowed us to elucidate airway SMGs at single cell resolution. Moreover, we found that cell-types and gene expression were the same in non-CF and CF SMGs, suggesting that loss of epithelial anion secretion rather than an intrinsic cell defect causes CF mucus abnormalities.

Reduced Airway Surface pH Impairs Bacterial Killing in the Porcine Cystic Fibrosis Lung

Project description:Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-shortening disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Although bacterial lung infection and the resulting inflammation cause most of the morbidity and mortality, how loss of CFTR first disrupts airway host defense has remained uncertain. We asked what abnormality impairs elimination when a bacterium lands on the pristine surface of a newborn CF airway? To investigate this defect, we interrogated the viability of individual bacteria immobilized on solid grids and placed on the airway surface. As a model we studied CF pigs, which spontaneously develop hallmark features of CF lung disease. At birth, their lungs lack infection and inflammation, but have a reduced ability to eradicate bacteria. Here we show that in newborn wild-type pigs, the thin layer of airway surface liquid (ASL) rapidly killed bacteria in vivo, when removed from the lung, and in primary epithelial cultures. Lack of CFTR reduced bacterial killing. We found that ASL pH was more acidic in CF, and reducing pH inhibited the antimicrobial activity of ASL. Reducing ASL pH diminished bacterial killing in wild-type pigs, and increasing ASL pH rescued killing in CF pigs. These results directly link the initial host defense defect to loss of CFTR, an anion channel that facilitates HCO3- transport. Without CFTR, airway epithelial HCO3- secretion is defective, ASL pH falls and inhibits antimicrobial function, and thereby impairs killing of bacteria that enter the newborn lung. These findings suggest that increasing ASL pH might prevent the initial infection in patients with CF and that assaying ASL pH or bacterial killing could report on the benefit of therapeutic interventions. 11 samples of trachea primary airway epithelial cultures representing CFTR+/+ and CFTR-/- pigs.

Cystic Fibrosis Pigs Develop Lung Disease and Exhibit Defective Bacterial Eradication at Birth

Project description:Lung disease causes most of the morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF). However, understanding its pathogenesis has been hindered by lack of an animal model with characteristic features of CF. To overcome this problem, we recently generated pigs with targeted CFTR genes. We now report that within months of birth, CF pigs spontaneously develop hallmark features of CF lung disease including airway inflammation, remodeling, mucus accumulation, and infection. Their lungs contained multiple bacterial species, suggesting an equal opportunity host defense defect. In humans, the temporal and/or causal relationships between inflammation and infection have remained uncertain. To investigate these processes, we studied newborn pigs. Their lungs showed no inflammation, but were less often sterile than controls. Moreover, after intrapulmonary bacterial challenge, CF pigs failed to eradicate bacteria as effectively as wild- type pigs. These results suggest that impaired bacterial elimination is the pathogenic event that initiates a cascade of inflammation and pathology in CF lungs. Finding that CF pigs have a bacterial host defense defect within hours of birth provides an exciting opportunity to further investigate pathogenesis and to test therapeutic and preventive strategies before secondary consequences develop.

Early Pathogenesis of Cystic Fibrosis Gallbladder Disease in a Porcine Model

Project description:Hepatobiliary disease causes significant morbidity in people with cystic fibrosis (CF), yet this problem remains understudied. We previously found that newborn CF pigs have microgallbladders with significant luminal obstruction in the absence of infection and inflammation. In this study, we sought to better understand the early pathogenesis of CF pig gallbladder disease. We hypothesized that loss of CFTR would impair gallbladder epithelium anion/liquid secretion and increase mucin production. By single cell RNA sequencing, we identified a single epithelial cell population that co-expressed CFTR, MUC5AC, and MUC5B. By bulk tissue RNA sequencing, there was no significant difference in the epithelial expression of gel-forming mucins between non-CF and CF pig gallbladders. Also, there were minimal transcriptional changes in CF relative to non-CF.

Bulk RNA sequencing of kidney in newborn non-CF and CF pigs

Project description:We did bulk RNA sequencing in newborn cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF pig kidney. We compared kidney gene expression profiling between non-CF and CF pigs. RNA sequencing results showed that there is not significant difference between non-CF and CF in terms of gene expression, suggesting that CFTR knockout does not affect kidney development in newborn pigs.

Genes Associated with MUC5AC Expression in the Human Airway Epithelium

Project description:To help define the genes associated with mucus synthesis and secretion in the human small airway epithelium, we hypothesized that comparison of the transcriptomes of the small airway epithelium of individuals that express high vs low levels of MUC5AC, a major secretory mucin and the major component of airway mucus, could be used as a probe to identify the genes related to human small airway mucus production / secretion. Genome-wide comparison between healthy nonsmokers grouped as “high MUC5AC expressors” vs “low MUC5AC expressors” identified significantly up-regulated and down-regulated genes in the high vs low expressors. Based on the literature, genes in the up-regulated list were used to identify a 73 “MUC5AC-associated core gene” list with 9 categories: mucus components; mucus-producing cell differentiation-related transcription factor; mucus-producing cell differentiation-related pathway or mediator; post-translational modification of mucin; vesicle transport; endoplasmic reticulum stress-related; secretory granule-associated; mucus secretion-related regulator and mucus hypersecretory-related ion channel. The identification of the genes associated with increased small airway mucin production in humans should be useful in identifying therapeutic targets to treat small airway mucus hypersecretion.

Resolution of Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease and Inflammation Driven by Mucus Obstruction with Resolvin D1

Project description:Progressive lung disease remains the major cause of morbidity and mortality of people with cystic fibrosis (CF). CF lung disease evolves from mucus obstruction into non-resolving airway inflammation, bronchiectasis, and damage that impairs respiratory and fitness activity. Therefore, therapeutic strategies that promote resolution of airway inflammation in CF to alleviate the burden of airflow obstruction and improve physical capacity are of wide interest. Here, we report that the proresolving lipid mediator resolvin (Rv) D1 halts mucus-driven inflammation in CF human cells and in vivo. RvD1 dampened migration and pathogenic phenotypes of neutrophils from volunteers with CF as well as inflammatory signaling pathways of CF bronchial epithelial cells triggered by CF mucus. In mice overexpressing the β-subunit of the epithelial Na+ channel (βENaC) RvD1 administration prevented and reverted lung inflammation caused by mucus accumulation and promoted the resolution of pulmonary exacerbation caused by P. aeruginosa. RvD1 also significantly improved physical activity and energy expenditure that are impaired in βENaC mice compared to wild type littermates. These findings demonstrate efficacy of RvD1 in enhancing resolution of lung disease and chronic inflammation associated with mucus obstruction and provide proof of concept for its potential therapeutic approach in FC.

Secretory Cells Dominate Airway CFTR Expression and Function in Human Airway Superficial Epithelia [bulk RNA]

Project description:Purpose: To identify the cell types that contribute to CFTR expression and function within the proximal-distal axis of the normal human lung. Methods: Single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) was performed on freshly isolated human large and small airway epithelial cells. Single cell-based RNA in situ hybridization (scRNA-ISH) and quantitative RT-PCR (scqRT-PCR) were performed for validation. In vitro culture systems correlated CFTR function to cell types. Lentiviruses were used for cell-type specific transduction of wild-type CFTR in CF cells. Results: scRNA-seq identified secretory cells as dominating CFTR expression in normal human large and particularly small airways, followed by basal cells. Ionocytes expressed the highest CFTR levels but were rare, while expression in ciliated cells was infrequent and low. scRNA-ISH, and scqRT-PCR confirmed the scRNA-seq findings. CF lungs exhibited distributions of CFTR and ionocytes similar to normal controls. CFTR-mediated Cl- secretion tracked secretory cell, not ionocyte, densities. Further, the nucleotide-purinergic regulatory system that controls CFTR-mediated hydration was associated with secretory cells. Lentiviral transduction of wild-type CFTR produced CFTR-mediated Cl- secretion in CF airway secretory cells but not ciliated cells. Conclusions: Secretory cells dominate CFTR expression and function in human airway superficial epithelia. CFTR therapies may need to restore CFTR function to multiple cell types, with a focus on secretory cells.

Longitudinal Effects of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor on Sputum Viscoelastic Properties, Airway Infection and Inflammation in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis

Project description:Rationale: We recently demonstrated that the triple combination CFTR modulator therapy elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) improves lung ventilation and airway mucus plugging determined by multiple-breath washout and magnetic resonance imaging in CF patients with at least one F508del allele. However, effects of ELX/TEZ/IVA on viscoelastic properties of airway mucus, chronic airway infection and inflammation have not been studied. Objectives: To examine the effects of ELX/TEZ/IVA on airway mucus rheology, microbiome and inflammation in CF patients with one or two F508del alleles aged 12 years and older. Methods: In this prospective observational study, we determined sputum rheology, microbiome, inflammation markers and proteome before and 1, 3 and 12 months after initiation of ELX/TEZ/IVA. Measurements and Main Results: CF patients with at least one F508del allele and healthy controls were enrolled in this study. ELX/TEZ/IVA improved the elastic and viscous modulus of CF sputum. Further, ELX/TEZ/IVA improved the microbiome α-diversity and decreased the relative abundance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P<0.05) in CF sputum. ELX/TEZ/IVA also reduced IL-8 and free NE activity, and shifted the CF sputum proteome towards healthy. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that ELX/TEZ/IVA improves sputum viscoelastic properties, chronic airway infection and inflammation in CF patients with at least one F508del allele, however, without reaching levels close to healthy.
