Signaling pathways associated with Lgr6 to regulate osteogenesis

ABSTRACT: Fracture management largely relies on the bone's inherent healing capabilities and, when necessary, surgical intervention. Currently, there are limited osteoinductive therapies to promote healing, making targeting skeletal stem/progenitor cells (SSPCs) a promising avenue for therapeutic development. A limiting factor for this approach is our incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing SSPCs' behavior. We have recently identified that the Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 6 (Lgr6) is expressed in sub-populations of SSPCs, and is required for maintaining bone volume during adulthood and for proper fracture healing. Lgr family members (Lgr4-6) are markers of stem cell niches and play a role in tissue regeneration primarily by binding R-Spondin (Rspo1-4). This interaction promotes canonical Wnt (cWnt) signaling by stabilizing Frizzled receptors. Interestingly, our findings here indicate that Lgr6 may also influence cWnt-independent pathways. Remarkably, Lgr6 expression was enhanced during Bmp-mediated osteogenesis of both human and murine cells. Using biochemical approaches, RNA sequencing, and bioinformatic analysis of published single-cell data, we found that elements of BMP signaling, including its target gene, pSMAD, and gene ontology pathways, are downregulated in the absence of Lgr6. Our findings uncover a molecular interdependency between the Bmp pathway and Lgr6, offering new insights into osteogenesis and potential targets for enhancing fracture healing.

LGR signaling mediates muscle-adipose tissue crosstalk and protects against diet-induced insulin resistance

Project description:Obesity impairs tissue insulin sensitivity and signaling, promoting type-2 diabetes. Although improving insulin signaling is key to reversing diabetes, the multi-organ mechanisms regulating this process are poorly defined. We screened the secretome and receptome in Drosophila to identify the hormonal crosstalk affecting diet-induced insulin resistance and obesity. We discovered a complex interplay between muscle, neuronal, and adipose tissues, mediated by Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling and the hormone Bursicon, that enhances insulin signaling and sugar tolerance. Muscle-derived BMP signaling, induced by sugar, governs neuronal Bursicon signaling. Bursicon, through its receptor Rickets, a Leucine-rich-repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor (LGR), improves insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue, mitigating hyperglycemia. In mouse adipocytes, loss of the Rickets ortholog LGR4 blunts insulin responses, showing an essential role of LGR4 in adipocyte insulin sensitivity. Our findings reveal a muscle-neuronal-fat-tissue axis driving metabolic adaptation to high-sugar conditions, identifying LGR4 as a critical mediator in this regulatory network.

Lgr6 marks epidermal stem cells with a nerve-dependent role in wound re- epithelialization

Project description:Stem cells support the lifelong maintenance of adult organs but their specific roles during injury are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that Lgr6 marks a regionally restricted population of epidermal stem cells that interact with nerves and specialize in wound re-epithelialization. Diphtheria toxin-mediated ablation of Lgr6 stem cells delays wound healing, and skin denervation phenocopies this effect. Using intravital imaging to capture stem cell dynamics after injury, we show that wound re-epithelialization by Lgr6 stem cells is diminished following the loss of nerves. This induces the recruitment of other stem cell populations, including hair follicle stem cells, which partially compensate to mediate the wound closure. Single-cell lineage tracing and gene expression analysis reveal that the fate of Lgr6 stem cells is shifted towards differentiation following the loss of their niche. We conclude that Lgr6 epidermal stem cells are primed for injury response and interact with nerves to regulate their fate

LGR6 marks nephron progenitor cells

Project description:Background: Nephron progenitor cells (NPCs) undergo a stepwise process to generate all mature nephron structures. Mesenchymal to epithelial transition (MET) is considered a multi-step process of NPC differentiation to ensure progressive establishment of new nephrons. However, despite this important role, to date, no marker for NPCs undergoing MET in the nephron exists. Results: Here, we identify LGR6 as a NPC marker, expressed in very early cap mesenchyme, pre-tubular aggregates, renal vesicles and in segments of S-shaped bodies, following the trajectory of MET. By using a lineage tracing approach in embryonic explants in combination with confocal imaging and single-cell RNA sequencing, we provide evidence for the multiple fates of LGR6+ cells during embryonic nephrogenesis. Moreover, by using long-term in vivo lineage tracing, we show that postnatal LGR6+ cells are capable of generating the multiple lineages of the nephrons. Conclusion: Given the profound early mesenchymal expression and MET signature of LGR6+ cells, together with the lineage tracing of mesenchymal LGR6+ cells, we conclude that LGR6+ cells contribute to all nephrogenic segments by undergoing MET. LGR6+ cells can therefore be considered an early committed NPC population during embryonic and postnatal nephrogenesis with potential regenerative capability.

Single nuclei RNAseq of the periosteal response to bone fracture and musculoskeletal traumatic injury in mice

Project description:Bone regeneration is a highly efficient process allowing scarless healing after injury. Yet, musculoskeletal traumatic injury, when fracture is combined with adjacent muscle injury, alters bone healing leading to fibrous nonunion. The periosteum, the outer layer of bones, is a critical source of skeletal stem/progenitor cells (SSPCs), as well as immune, endothelial and neural cells during bone repair. We generated single nuclei datasets from the injured perioteum and hematoma at day 1-post fracture and from the hematoma/callus at day 5 post-musculoskeletal traumatic injury. These datasets were analyzed in combination with datasets from GSE234451.

Lgr6 Marks Stem Cells in the Hair Follicle that Generate all Cell Lineages of the Skin

Project description:Mammalian epidermis consists of three self-renewing compartments: the hair follicle, sebaceous gland and interfollicular epidermis. We generated knock-in alleles of murine Lgr6, a close relative to the Lgr5 stem cell gene. Lgr6 was expressed in the earliest embryonic hair placodes. In adult hair follicles, Lgr6+ cells resided in a previously uncharacterized region directly above the follicle bulge. They expressed none of the known bulge stem cell markers. Prenatal Lgr6+ cells established the hair follicle, sebaceous gland and interfollicular epidermis. Postnatally, Lgr6+ cells generated sebaceous gland and interfollicular epidermis, while contribution to hair lineages gradually diminished with age. Adult Lgr6+ cells executed long-term wound repair, including the formation of new hair follicles. We conclude that Lgr6 marks the most primitive epidermal stem cell. For the Lgr5 and Lgr6 stem cell comparison RNA was isolated from sorted GFPhi cell fractions of dorsal skin from Lgr5-EGFP-ires-CreERT2 mice and Lgr6-EGFP-ires-CreERT2, respectively (3 mice per group per sort).

Single nuclei RNAseq of the periosteal response to bone fracture in mice

Project description:Bone regeneration is a highly efficient process allowing scarless healing after injury. The periosteum, the outer layer of bones, is a critical source of skeletal stem/progenitor cells (SSPCs), as well as immune, endothelial and neural cells during bone repair. In our study, we generated a single-nuclei atlas of the murine periosteal response to bone fracture. We generated single nuclei datasets from uninjured periosteum and from injured periosteum and hematoma/fracture callus at days 5 and 7 post-injury from wild-type mice.

Skeletal stem/progenitor cells in periosteum and skeletal muscle share a common molecular response to bone injury

Project description:Periosteum is a major source of skeletal stem/progenitor cells (SSPCs) during bone repair. However, the cellular composition of the periosteum is poorly characterized. Here, we provide single-cell RNAseq data of periosteal cells isolated by explant culture at steady state and at day 3 post-tibial fracture. We found that periosteal cell populations are heterogeneous containing several sub-populations of SSPCs. Upon fracture, SSPCs are activated by leaving their mesenchymal state, and engaging into fibrogenesis prior to chondrogenesis.
