CXCL12 defines lung endothelial heterogeneity and promotes distal vascular growth


ABSTRACT: In adults, there is a growing amount of data uncovering the cellular diversity of the pulmonary circulation and mechanisms governing vascular repair after injury, however, molecular and cellular mechanisms contributing to the morphogenesis and growth of the pulmonary vasculature during embryonic development are less clear. Importantly, deficits in vascular development lead to a large number of lung diseases in children, indicating a need to uncover fetal programs that promote pulmonary vascular growth. To address this, we used a transgenic mouse reporter for expression of Cxcl12, an arterial hallmark gene, and performed single-cell RNA sequencing on isolated Cxcl12-DsRed+ endothelium to assess cellular heterogeneity within pulmonary endothelium. Combining cell annotation, gene ontology analysis, and spatial transcriptomics allowed us to segregate the developing artery into spatially and functionally distinct subpopulations. In addition, expression of Cxcl12 suggests a morphogen gradient from arteries to capillaries, suggesting directed cell migration for pulmonary vascular development. Disruption of this gradient led to abnormal branching and pulmonary vascular hypoplasia. These data provide evidence for arterial endothelial functional heterogeneity and reveal conserved signaling mechanisms essential for pulmonary vascular development.
