Hypoxia-inducible factor-2 (HIF2) regulates alveolar regeneration after repetitive injury

ABSTRACT: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and often fatal chronic respiratory disease thought to result from repetitive injury and failed repair of the lung alveoli, and recent studies have identified a number of disease-emergent intermediate/transitional cell states in the IPF lung supporting this concept. In this study, we found that persistent activation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-signaling in airway-derived, repair-associated cell types/states is a hallmark of dysfunctional epithelial repair in the IPF lung epithelium and experimental models of recurrent lung epithelial injury. Disrupting Hif-signaling attenuated experimental lung fibrosis, reduced mucous-secretory cell polarization, and promoted functional alveolar regeneration following repetitive injury. Mouse and human organoid studies demonstrated that small-molecule-based HIF2 inhibition promoted alveolar epithelial cell proliferation and maturation while preventing the emergence of maladaptive intermediate/transitional states analogous to those in IPF. Together, these studies indicate that targeted HIF2-inhibition represents a novel and effective therapeutic strategy to promote functional lung regeneration, and could be readily translated into human studies of IPF and other chronic interstitial lung diseases with disease modifying effect.

Disruption of Prostaglandin F2α Receptor Signaling Attenuates Fibrotic Remodeling and Alters Fibroblast Population Dynamics in A Preclinical Murine Model of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Project description:Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, and diffuse parenchymal lung disease characterized by repetitive alveolar cell injury, myofibroblast proliferation, and excessive extracellular matrix deposition resulting in progressive loss of lung function. Despite approved treatment options, unmet need persists for effective IPF therapeutics. The bioactive eicosanoid, prostaglandin F2a, and its cognate receptor FPr (Ptfgr) are implicated as a TGFb1 independent signaling hub for IPF. To further assess this signaling in IPF, we leveraged our published murine PF model (IER-SftpcI73T) expressing an inducible disease associated missense mutation in the SFTPC gene (I73T). Tamoxifen induction of IER-SftpcI73T mice resulted in an early multiphasic alveolitis and transition to spontaneous fibrotic remodeling by 28 days. IER-SftpcI73T mice were crossed to a Ptgfr null (FPr-/-) line and resulted in attenuated weight loss and reductions in fibrotic endpoints. Through single cell RNA sequencing, pseudotime analysis, and in-vitro assays we demonstrated expression of Ptgfr predominantly within adventitial fibroblasts whichwere reprogrammed to an “inflammatory/transitional” cell state population in a PGF2a / FPr dependent manner.. Collectively, the findings provide added evidence a role for PGF2a signaling in IPF, mechanistically identify a susceptible fibroblast subpopulation, and establish a benchmark effect size for disruption of this pathway in mitigating fibrotic lung disease.

Gene network analysis of interstitial macrophages after treatment with induced pluripotent stem cells secretome (iPSC-cm) in the bleomycin injured rat lung

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a complex disease involving various cell types. Macrophages are essential in maintenance of physiological homeostasis, wound repair and fibrosis in the lung. Macrophages play a crucial role in repair and remodeling by altering their phenotype and secretory pattern in response to injury. The secretome of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-cm) attenuates injury and fibrosis in bleomycin injured rat lungs. In the current study, we evaluate the effect of iPSC-cm on interstitial macrophage gene expression and phenotype in bleomycin injured rat lungs in vivo. Â iPSC-cm was intratracheally instilled 7 days after bleomycin induced lung injury and assessed 7 days later and single cell isolation was performed. Macrophages were FACS sorted and microarray analysis was performed. We characterized changes in the rat lung interstitial macrophages using transcriptional profiling.

Regulation of the Alveolar Epithelial Transitional State in Murine and Human Pulmonary Fibrosis

Project description:Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive scarring disease arising from impaired regeneration of the alveolar epithelium after injury. During regeneration, type 2 alveolar epithelial cells (AEC2s) differentiate into AEC1s via a transitional state that upregulates keratin 8. In IPF, transitional AECs persist with ineffectual AEC1 differentiation. However, whether keratin 8 regulates transitional state persistence and fibrosis is unclear. Here, we isolated AEC2s from WT or keratin 8 KO mice and harvested RNA from freshly isolated cells or from cells cultured for 1, 3, or 7 days. RNAseq was performed.

Loss of Fas-signaling in pro-fibrotic fibroblasts impairs homeostatic fibrosis resolution and promotes persistent pulmonary fibrosis

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, irreversible fibrotic disease of the distal lung alveoli that culminates in respiratory failure and reduced lifespan. Unlike normal lung repair in response to injury, IPF is associated with the accumulation and persistence of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts and continued production of collagen and other extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Prior in vitro studies have led to the hypothesis that the development of resistance to Fas-induced apoptosis by lung fibroblasts and myofibroblasts contibributes to their accumulation in the distal lung tissues of IPF patients. Here, we test this hypothesis in vivo in the resolving model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Using genetic loss-of-function approaches to inhibit Fas signaling in fibroblasts, novel flow cytometry strategies to quantify lung fibroblast subsets and transcriptional profiling of lung fibroblasts by bulk and single cell RNA-sequencing, we show that Fas is necessary for lung fibroblast apoptosis during homeostatic resolution of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in vivo. Furthermore, we show that loss of Fas signaling leads to the persistence and continued pro-fibrotic functions of lung fibroblasts. Our studies provide novel insights into the mechanisms that contribute to fibroblast survival, persistence and continued ECM deposition in the context of IPF and how failure to undergo Fas-induced apoptosis prevents fibrosis resolution.

Lung endothelial cells regulate pulmonary fibrosis through FOXF1/R-Ras signaling (Human).

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis results from dysregulated repair of damaged tissue caused by persistent injury of lung epithelium. Multiple cell types in the lung are involved in the process of repair. During lung fibrogenesis, normal endothelial cells (EC) are re-programmed into fibrosis-associated EC. Transcriptional factors that control re-programming are poorly understood. Using single cell RNA-sequencing of EC from donor and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) lungs, and lungs from bleomycin-treated mice, we identified endothelial transcription factors (TF) that were differentially expressed during fibrosis. Focusing on one of endothelial TF, FOXF1, we demonstrated that FOXF1 is decreased in EC within human IPF and mouse bleomycin-injured fibrotic lungs.

Single Cell RNA-Sequencing Identifies Diverse Roles of Epithelial Cells in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a lethal interstitial lung disease causing alveolar remodeling, inflammation, and fibrosis. We utilized single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) to identify epithelial cell types and associated biological processes involved in the pathogenesis of IPF. Transcriptomic analysis of epithelial cells from normal human lung defined gene expression patterns associated with highly differentiated alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells, indicated by enrichment of RNAs critical for surfactant homeostasis. In contrast, scRNA-seq of IPF cells identified three distinct subsets of epithelial cell types with characteristics of conducting airway basal and goblet cells and, an additional atypical "transitional" cell that contribute to pathological processes in IPF. Individual IPF cells frequently co-expressed alveolar AT1, AT2, and conducting airway selective markers, demonstrating "indeterminate" states of differentiation not seen in normal lung development. Pathway analysis predicted aberrant activation of canonical signaling via TGF-ß, HIPPO/YAP, P53, and AKT-PI3 Kinase. Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy identified the disruption of alveolar structure and loss of the normal proximal-peripheral differentiation of pulmonary epithelial cells. Single cell transcriptomic analyses of respiratory epithelial cells identified loss of normal epithelial cell identities and unique contributions of epithelial cells to the pathogenesis of IPF. Present scRNA-seq transcriptomic analysis of normal and IPF respiratory epithelial cells provides a rich data source to further explore lung health and disease.
