Single cell RNA sequencing of adult mouse Acta2+ lung cells

ABSTRACT: Smooth muscle cells exist in many different locations within the body, including blood vessels and airways. The heterogeneity of smooth muscle cells has been related to their embryological origins and could have implications in many diseases, including atherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, and asthma. Here we aimed to study the heterogeneity of Acta2+ cells in the mouse lung and to identify specific markers for Acta2+ sub-populations. We used a mouse line containing an Acta2hrGFP/Cspg4dsRed reporter and performed single cell RNA sequencing of Acta2+ cells isolated from adult mouse lungs. We identified 3 main distinct clusters, corresponding to airway smooth muscle (ASM), vascular smooth muscle (VSM) and mesenchymal alveolar niche cells (MANCs), and extracted specific gene signatures for each of these cell types. Our dataset and gene signatures help address the heterogeneity of Acta2+ lineages in the lung and will be of use for future studies focusing on smooth muscle cells in the lung and in other organs.

RNA-seq analysis of lung smooth muscle cells

Project description:Lung smooth muscle cells are including bronchiolar and vascular smooth muscle cells. In order to get adult lung smooth muscle cells, we use transgenic mouse line with smooth muscle actin creERT2, which is a transgenic cre recombinase in Acta2 (contractile smooth muscle cell gene). This mouse line also contains a CAG promoter-driven red fluorescent protein variant (tdTomato) - all inserted into the ROSA26 locus. This mouse line express robust tdTomato fluorescence following cre-mediated recombination after Tamoxifen injection.

Loss of Acta2 in cardiac fibroblasts does not prevent the myofibroblast differentiation or affect the cardiac repair after myocardial infarction

Project description:In response to myocardial infarction (MI), quiescent cardiac fibroblasts differentiate into myofibroblasts mediating tissue repair in the infarcted area. One of the most widely accepted markers of myofibroblast differentiation is the expression of Acta2 which encodes smooth muscle alpha-actin (SMαA) that is assembled into stress fibers. However, the requirement of Acta2/ SMαA in the myofibroblast differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts and its role in post-MI cardiac repair remained largely unknown. To answer these questions, we generated a tamoxifen-inducible cardiac fibroblast-specific Acta2 knockout mouse line. Surprisingly, mice that lacked Acta2 in cardiac fibroblasts had a normal survival rate after MI. Moreover, Acta2 deletion did not affect the function or overall histology of infarcted hearts. No difference was detected in the proliferation, migration, or contractility between WT and Acta2-null cardiac myofibroblasts. It was identified that Acta2-null cardiac myofibroblasts had a normal total filamentous actin level and total actin level. Acta2 deletion caused a significant compensatory increase in the transcription level of non- Acta2 actin isoforms, especially Actg2 and Acta1, 2 other muscle actin isoforms. Moreover, in myofibroblasts the transcription levels of cytoplasmic actin isoforms were significantly higher than those of muscle actin isoforms. In addition, we found that myocardin-related transcription factor-A is critical for myofibroblast differentiation but is not required for the compensatory effects of non-Acta2 isoforms. In conclusion, the deletion of Acta2 does not prevent the myofibroblast differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts or affect the post-MI cardiac repair, and the increased expression and stress fiber formation of non-SMαA actin isoforms and the functional redundancy between actin isoforms are able to compensate for the loss of Acta2 in cardiac myofibroblasts.

Smooth-muscle-cell differentiation in airways

Project description:This experiment was performed in order to investigate the difference in the gene expression pattern between differentiated airway/vascular smooth muscle cells and progenitors for alveolar myofibroblasts in embryonic lung. To answer this question, we genetically labeled Smooth muscle actin-expressing cells using Sma-Cre-ERT2 crossed with Tomato Cre-reporter line. This line allows to label both airway/vascular smooth muscle cells (high SMA expression) and progenitors for alveolar myofibroblasts (low SMA expression). Mice were treated with tamoxifen at embryonic day E15.5 and cells from embryonic lungs were collected at E18.5. Mice used in this study were offspring from RjOrl:SWISS (CD1) [mother] x STOCK Tg (Acta2-cre/ERT2)12Pcn Gt(ROSA)26Sortm9(CAG-tdTomato)Hze/sbel (Acta2-CreERT2; tdTomatoflox) [father]

Whole transcriptome analysis of mouse aortas and kidneys with or without deletion of the EGFR in vascular smooth muscle cells after 18 weeks of high fat diet

Project description:Obesity causes diabetes type 2 (DMT2) leading to vascular dysfunction and finally renal end-organ damage. Vascular smooth muscle (VSM) EGF receptor (EGFR) modulates vascular wall homeostasis in part via serum response factor (SRF), a major regulator of VSM differentiation and a sensor for glucose. We investigated the role of VSM-EGFR during obesity-induced renovascular dysfunction and the EGFR-hyperglycemia crosstalk.

FungenES: FunGenES_UKOE-4: Functional characterization and transcriptome analysis of embryonic stem cells-derived contractile smooth muscle cells

Project description:This experiment is part of the FunGenES project (FunGenES - Functional Genomics in Embryonic Stem Cells partially funded by the 6th Framework Programme of the EuropeanUnion, http://www.fungenes.org). The experiment was conducted at University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany. Goal of the experiment is a complete transcriptome profiling of contractile smooth muscle cells (SMCs) differentiated from embryonic stem cells which is crucial for the characterization of smooth muscle gene expression signatures and will contribute to defining biological and physiological processes in these cells. We have generated a transgenic embryonic stem cell line expressing both the puromycin acetyl transferase and enhanced green fluorescent protein cassettes under the control of the Acta2 promoter.This experiment allows the identification of specific biological and physiological processes in the contractile phenotype SMCs and will contribute to the understanding of these processes in early SMCs derived from embryonic stem cells.

A Seed Sequence Variant in miR-145-5p causes Multisystem Smooth Muscle Dysfunction Syndrome (MSMDS)

Project description:Multisystem smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome (MSMDS) is a smooth muscle myopathy with major dysfunction in multiple organ systems. Described cases have been exclusively associated with recurrent missense variants at amino acid position 179 in the ACTA2 gene. We describe a patient with multiple major manifestations of MSMDS including steno-occlusive cerebrovascular arteriopathy, prune belly syndrome, gastrointestinal dysmotility, bladder dysfunction, and pupillary hyporeactivity without variation in ACTA2. Whole genome sequencing revealed a single nucleotide variant contained within the seed sequence of MIR145, which encodes the smooth muscle associated microRNA; hsa-miR-145-5p. RNA expression analysis on patient-derived fibroblasts was consistent with actin cytoskeletal dysfunction, and mutant miR-145-5p was unable to mediate cytoskeletal modulation of smooth muscle cells. MSMDS can be caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the smooth muscle differentiation factor, miR-145-5p, the first described non-coding genetic vasculopathy.

Global gene expression of mouse iPSC directed differentation towards smooth muscle cells using an Acta2hrGFP mouse iPSC reporter line

Project description:Here, we generated and differentiated a mouse induced pluripotent stem cell line with an Acta2hrGFP reporter towards a smooth muscle-like cell that can be purified and expresses characteristic markers of smooth muscle cells. We performed microarray analysis of 3 timepoints in our smooth muscle directed differentiation protocol and compared it to primary adult aortic smooth muscle cells. The profiles indicated that the day 13 Acta2hrGFP+ and Acta2hrGFP- populations are fairly similar, and that the day13 Acta2hrGFP+ population's transcriptomic profile is reminiscent of an immature or a synthetic smooth muscle cell phenotype. Using a mouse iPSC line with a transgenic GFP reporter for Acta2, we characterized the global transcriptomic proifle of cells during different developmental time points in our in vitro differentiation (undifferentiated iPSC, sorted Kdr+ mesodermal progenitors, and sorted Acta2hrGFP+ and Acta2hrGFP- candidate SMCS). We also included freshly isolated primary aortic Acta2hrGFP+ smooth muscle cells as a control.
