Single cell RNA Sequencing Identifies G-protein Coupled Receptor 87 as a Basal Cell Marker Expressed in Distal Honeycomb Cysts in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

ABSTRACT: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating and life-threatening lung disease characterized by epithelial reprogramming and increased extracellular matrix deposition leading to loss of lung function. A prominent histopathological structure in the IPF lung are aberrant bronchioles filled with mucus, referred to as honeycomb cysts. These heterogeneous bronchiolized areas feature clusters of simple epithelium with Keratin (KRT)5+ basal-like cells interspersed with pseudostratified epithelium containing differentiated, hyperplastic epithelial cells as well as aberrant ciliated cells. Recent single-cell RNA sequencing studies of the lung epithelium shed further light into cellular subtypes unique to IPF, including basaloid KRT5-/KRT17+ cells present in the distal lung. However, IPF distal bronchiole cell subtypes still remain poorly characterized and their disease contribution remains underinvestigated. Using single-cell RNA sequencing of enriched EpCAM+ lung cells of the distal IPF lung, we identified G-protein coupled receptor (GPR) 87, as a marker of distal bronchioles and KRT5+ IPF basal cells contributing to impaired airway differentiation and honeycombing.

Progenitor identification and SARS-CoV-2 infection in human distal lung organoids

Project description:The distal lung contains terminal bronchioles and alveoli that facilitate gas exchange. Three-dimensional in vitro human distal lung culture systems would strongly facilitate investigation of pathologies including interstitial lung disease, cancer, and SARS-CoV-2-associated COVID-19 pneumonia. We generated long-term feeder-free, chemically-defined culture of distal lung progenitors as organoids derived from single adult human alveolar epithelial type II (AT2) or KRT5+ basal cells. AT2 organoids exhibited AT1 transdifferentiation potential while basal cell organoids developed lumens lined by differentiated club and ciliated cells. Single cell analysis of basal organoid KRT5+ cells revealed a distinct ITGA6+ITGB4+ mitotic population whose proliferation further segregated to a TNFRSF12Ahi subfraction comprising ~10% of KRT5+ basal cells, residing in clusters within terminal bronchioles and exhibiting enriched clonogenic organoid growth activity. Distal lung organoids were created with apical-out polarity to display ACE2 on the exposed external surface, facilitating SARS-CoV-2 infection of AT2 and basal cultures and identifying club cells as a novel target population. This long-term, feeder-free organoid culture of human distal lung, coupled with single cell analysis, identifies unsuspected basal cell functional heterogeneity and establishes a facile in vitro organoid model for human distal lung infections including COVID-19-associated pneumonia.

Lung extracellular matrix modulates KRT5+ basal cell activity in pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:Aberrant expansion of KRT5+ basal cells in the distal lung accompanies progressive alveolar epithelial cell loss and tissue remodelling during fibrogenesis in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The mechanisms determining activity of KRT5+ cells in IPF have not been delineated. Here, we show an association between KRT5+ cells in human fibrotic lung and regional differences in collagen topography. In vitro, KRT5+ cell migratory characteristics and expression of remodelling genes are modulated by extracellular matrix (ECM) composition and organisation. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics revealed compositional differences in the matrisome secreted by primary human lung fibroblasts (HLF) from IPF patients compared to controls. Over-expression of ECM glycoprotein, Secreted Protein Acidic and Cysteine Rich (SPARC) in the IPF HLF matrisome restricts KRT5+ cell migration in vitro. Together, our findings demonstrate that changes to the ECM in IPF directly influence KRT5+ cell behaviour and function contributing to remodelling events in the fibrotic niche.

Fgf10-Fgfr2b signaling generates basal cells and drives alveolar epithelial regeneration by bronchial epithelial stem cells after lung injury

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a common form of interstitial lung disease (ILD) resulting in alveolar remodeling and progressive loss of pulmonary function due to chronic alveolar injury and failure to regenerate the respiratory epithelium. Histologically, fibrotic lesions and honeycomb structures expressing atypical proximal airway epithelial markers replace alveolar structures, the latter normally lined by alveolar type 1 (AT1) and AT2 cells. Bronchial epithelial stem cells (BESCs) can give rise to AT2 and AT1 cells or honeycomb cysts following bleomycin-mediated lung injury. However, little is known about what controls this binary decision or whether this decision can be reversed. Here we report that inactivation of Fgfr2b in BESCs impairs their contribution to both alveolar epithelial regeneration and honeycomb cysts after bleomycin injury. By contrast overexpression of Fgf10 in BESCs enhances fibrosis resolution by favoring the more desirable outcome of alveolar epithelial regeneration over the development of pathologic honeycomb cysts.

Proliferating SPP1/MERTK-expressing macrophages in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:A comprehensive understanding of the changes in gene expression in cell types involved in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) will shed light on the mechanisms underlying the loss of alveolar epithelial cells, and development of honeycomb cysts and fibroblastic foci. We sought to understand changes in IPF lung cell transcriptomes and gain insight into innate immune aspects of pathogenesis. We investigated IPF pathogenesis using single cell RNA-sequencing of fresh lung explants, comparing human IPF fibrotic lower lobes reflecting late disease, upper lobes reflecting early disease and normal lungs. IPF lower lobes showed increased fibroblasts, and basal, ciliated, goblet and club cells, but decreased alveolar epithelial cells, and marked alterations in inflammatory cells. We found three discrete macrophage subpopulations in normal and fibrotic lungs, one expressing monocyte markers, one highly expressing FABP4 and INHBA (FABP4hi), and one highly expressing SPP1 and MERTK (SPP1hi). SPP1hi macrophages in fibrotic lower lobes showed highly upregulated SPP1 and MERTK expression. Low-level local proliferation of SPP1hi macrophages in normal lungs was strikingly increased in IPF lungs. Co-localization and causal modeling supported the role for these highly proliferative SPP1hi macrophages in activation of IPF myofibroblasts in lung fibrosis. These data suggest SPP1hi macrophages contribute importantly to lung fibrosis in IPF, and that therapeutic strategies targeting MERTK and macrophage proliferation may show promise for treatment of this disease.

Transcription profiling of mouse tracheal basal cells

Project description:Epithelial basal cells (BCs) are an important stem cell population of the airways. We purified BCs from a KRT5-GFP transgenic mouse line and used Affymetrix arrays to compare there gene expression to that of non-BC epithelium. Experiment Overall Design: Three populations of cells were obtained by FACS: 1. KRT5-GFP-, lectin- columnar epithelium. 2. KRT5-GFP-, lectin+ BCs. 3. KRT5-GFP+, lectin+ BCs. Three biological replicates of each sample were hybridized to Affymetrix microarray.

p63+/Krt5+ Distal Airway Stem Cells are Essential for Lung Regeneration (tracheal epithelium and alveoli)

Project description:The possibility of lung regeneration has been long discounted due to the irreversible nature of chronic lung diseases. However, patients who sustain massive loss of lung tissue during acute infections often recover full pulmonary function. Correspondingly, we previously demonstrated lung regeneration in mice following H1N1 influenza virus infection and implicated p63+Krt5+ distal airway stem cells, or DASCp63/Krt5, in this process. We show here that rare, preexisting DASCp63/K5 undergo a proliferative expansion in response to influenza and lineage-trace to nascent alveoli assembled at sites of interstitial inflammation. We also show that the ablation of DASCp63/Krt5 in vivo prevents the regeneration of lung tissue following influenza leading to pre-fibrotic lesions and deficient oxygen exchange. Finally, we demonstrate that exogenously cloned and propagated DASCp63/Krt5 readily contribute to lung regeneration following transplantation. These data suggest that DASCp63/K5 are required for lung regeneration and may have therapeutic utility in acute and chronic lung diseases. Tracheal epithelium and alveoli of healthy mice were laser capture microdissected for microarray analysis. Damaged lung interstitium (CD45+ region) of influenza infected (75pfu H1N1, 15dpi) mice were also dissected. Duplicates were included for each sample. We used the Affymetrix Mouse Exon 1.0 ST platform

Single-Cell RNA-Seq Analysis of long-term transplanted single-cell-derived mouse DASC in host lung

Project description:Distal airway stem cell (DASC) expressing basal cell restrictive transcription factor p63 and keratin-5 (Krt5) has a strong ability of regeneration after lung injury. Such cells are originated from primitive progenitors in distal airways and could expand/migrate to inflamed damaged lung parenchymal region to form ‘KRT5 pods’ once activated by various types of tissue injury. We isolated the mouse DASC and transplanted the GFP-labelled mDASC into the bleomycin-injured mouse lung by intratracheal instillation. Mice were sacrificed at 30 and 90 days post transplantation and their lung tissue were harvest to detect GFP signal by fluorescence stereomicroscope, the region of which was dissect for single cell-RNA-seq (scRNA-seq). We utilized scRNA-seq to trace the fate of transplanted mDASCs at 30 days and 90 days post transplantation, which revealed cell types differentiated from the transplanted DASCs.

Dynamically Upregulated Mast Cell CPA3 Patterns in lung disease

Project description:The mast cell-specific metalloprotease CPA3 has been given important roles in lung tissue homeostasis and disease pathogenesis. However, the dynamics and spatial distribution of mast cells CPA3 expression in lung diseases remains unknown. Methods: Using a histology-based approach for spatial and quantitative simultaneous decoding of mRNA and protein expression at a single cell level, this study investigates the dynamics of CPA3 expression across mast cells residing in lungs from healthy controls and patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or idiopathic lung fibrosis (IPF). Results: Mast cells in COPD lungs had increased CPA3 mRNA (bronchioles p<0.001, pulmonary vessels p< 0.01, alveolar parenchyma p< 0.01) compared to controls, while granule stored CPA3 protein was unaltered. IPF lungs had a significant upregulation of both CPA3 mRNA (p<0.001) and protein (p<0.05) in the fibrotic alveolar tissue. IPF was also characterized by highest density of distal lung mast cells. As an indication of disease relevant increased CPA3 turnover, spatial expression maps revealed altered mast cell mRNA/protein quotients in lung areas subjected to disease-relevant histopathological alterations. Single cell RNA sequencing of bronchial mast cells confirmed CPA3 as a top expressed gene with potential links to both inflammatory and protective markers. Conclusion: This study shows that lung tissue mast cell populations in COPD and IPF-affected lungs have spatially complex and markedly up-regulated CPA3 expression profiles that correlates with sites of structural pathologies. Given the proposed roles of CPA3 in tissue homeostasis, remodeling and inflammation, these alterations are likely to have clinical consequences.

Single cell transcriptome analysis of distal adult human lung airway cells

Project description:To comprehensively study the heterogeneity within distal airway epithelium, we performed single cell transcriptomic analysis of the normal human donor lung samples. Our analysis reveals that secretory (club) and basal cells in the distal lung airway epithelial cells are highly heterogenous. Further interrogation of secretory cells identified a subpopulation with potential for alveolar differentiation in vitro, implicating distal lung airway secretory cells as new candidates in alveolar repair and regeneration.
