Gene expression profile at single cell level of murine air liquid interface cultures

ABSTRACT: Alveolar type 2 (AT2) and club cells are part of the stem cell niche of the lung and their differentiation is required for pulmonary homeostasis and tissue regeneration. A disturbed crosstalk between fibroblasts and epithelial cells contributes to the loss of lung structure in chronic lung diseases. We used single cell RNA sequencing to analyze the interaction of fibroblasts and the alveolar epithelium modelled in air-liquid interface cultures.

Intersectional genetic tracing reveals the origin of alveolar stem cells during lung repair and regeneration

Project description:Alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells are stem cells of the alveolar epithelia. Previous genetic lineage tracing studies reported multiple cellular origins for AT2 cells after injury. However, conventional lineage tracing based on Cre-loxP has the limitation of non-specific labeling. Thus, the exact contribution of various epithelial cells to the pools of AT2 cells under different conditions remains unclear. Here, we used dual recombinases-mediated intersectional genetic lineage tracing to investigate the cellular origins of AT2 cells during lung homeostasis, injury and repair. In contrast to previous studies, we found AT1 cells were terminally differentiated cells and did not contribute to AT2 cells after lung injury and repair. Distinctive, but simultaneous, labeling of club cells, bronchioalveolar stem cells (BASCs), and AT2 cells revealed the exact contribution of each to AT2 cells after lung injury. Moreover, we found that club cells have the potential to rebuild virtually all alveoli in some severely injured lung regions. Mechanistically, Notch signaling promotes a BASCs-to-AT2 cell transition, but it inhibits club cell-to-AT2 cell conversion during lung repair. This intersectional genetic lineage tracing strategy with enhanced precision allowed us to elucidate the physiological role of AT1, club, BASCs, and AT2 cells to alveolar regeneration after injury.

GRAMD2+ alveolar type I cell plasticity facilitates cell state transitions in organoid culture

Project description:Alveolar epithelial regeneration is critical for normal lung function and becomes dysregulated in disease. While alveolar type 2 (AT2) and club cells are known distal lung epithelial progenitors, determining if alveolar epithelial type 1 (AT1) cells also contribute to alveolar regeneration has been hampered by lack of highly specific mouse models labeling AT1 cells. To address this, the Gramd2CreERT2 transgenic strain was generated and crossed to ROSAmTmG mice. Extensive cellular characterization, including distal lung immunofluorescence and cytospin staining, confirmed that GRAMD2+ AT1 cells are highly enriched for green fluoresecent protein (GFP). Interestingly, Gramd2CreERT2 GFP+ cells were able to form colonies in organoid co-culture with Mlg fibroblasts. Temporal scRNAseq revealed that Gramd2+ AT1 cells transition through numerous intermediate lung epithelial cell states including basal, secretory and AT2 cell in organoids while acquiring proliferative capacity. Our results indicate that Gramd2+ AT1 cells are highly plastic suggesting they may contribute to alveolar regeneration.

Single-cell RNA-seq of air-liquid interface bronchioalveolar cells

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), may result in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multi-organ failure and death. The alveolar epithelium is a major target of the virus, but representative models to study virus host interactions in more detail are currently lacking. Here, we describe a human 2D air-liquid interface culture system which was characterized by confocal-, electron-microscopy and single cell mRNA expression analysis. In this model, alveolar cells, but also basal cells and rare neuroendocrine cells, are grown from 3D self-renewing lung bud tip organoids. These cultures were readily infected by SARS-CoV-2 with mainly surfactant protein C-positive ATII-like cells being targeted. Consequently, significant viral titers were detected and mRNA expression analysis revealed induction of type I/III interferon response program. Treatment of these cultures with a low dose of interferon lambda dramatically reduced viral replication. Hence, these cultures represent an experimental model for SARS-CoV-2 infection and can be applied for drug screens.

scRNA-seq of canalicular stage human fetal lung cultured under air-liquid interface

Project description:Small pieces (<0.5 cm of diameter) were isolated from distal regions of 125 day male human fetal lung and cultured on floating poly-carbonate membranes on top of serum and growth factor free medium under air-liquid interface conditons (ALI). ALI explants underwent changes in gene expression indicative of alveolar epithelial cell differentiation under these conditions. scRNA-sequencing was performed on fetal tissue prior to culture (day 0) and day 3, 6, 9 and 12 of ALI explant culture.

Development of a Novel Air-Liquid Interface Airway Tissue Equivalent Model for In Vitro Respiratory Modeling Studies

Project description:The human airways are complex structures with important interactions between cells, extracellular matrix proteins and the biomechanical microenvironment. A robust, well-differentiated in vitro culture system that accurately models these interactions would provide a useful tool for studying normal and pathological airway biology. Here, we report the analysis of a physiologically relevant air-liquid interface (ALI) 3D airway ‘organ tissue equivalent’ (OTE) model with three novel features: native pulmonary fibroblasts, solubilized lung extracellular matrix (ECM), and hydrogel substrate with tunable stiffness and porosity. We demonstrate the versatility of the OTE model by evaluating the impact of these features on HBE cell phenotype. Variations of this model were analyzed during 28 days of ALI culture by evaluating epithelial confluence, trans-epithelial resistance (TEER), and epithelial phenotype via multispectral immuno-histochemistry and next-generation sequencing (NGS). Cultures that included both solubilized lung ECM and native pulmonary fibroblasts within the hydrogel substrate formed well differentiated ALI cultures that maintained a barrier function and expressed similar levels of goblet, club and ciliated markers to native airway tissue. Modulation of hydrogel stiffness did not negatively impact HBE differentiation and could be a valuable variable to alter epithelial phenotype. This study highlights the capability and versatility of a 3D airway OTE model to model the multiple components of the human airway 3D microenvironment.

Cellular Origins of EGFR-driven Lung Cancer Cells Determines Sensitivity to Therapy

Project description:The purpose of this research is to study the cellular origins of EGFR-mutant lung cancers and their responses to therapies. We discovered that activation of EGFR T790M/L858R mutation in lung epithelial cells can drive lung cancers with alveolar or bronchiolar features, which can be originated from alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells or bronchioalveolar stem cells (BASCs), but not basal cells or club cells of the trachea. Crucially, the tumoroids with different cell-of-origins or epigenetic states had distinct drug vulnerabilities.

RNA-Seq Analysis of the Human Surfactant Air-Liquid Interface Culture Reveals Alveolar Type II Cell-like Transcriptome

Project description:In this study we investigate the effects of SALI culture conditions on the transcriptional profile of the constituent H441 cells. We further analyze the transcriptomics of the model in the context of surfactant metabolism and the disease phenotype through SFTPB-knockout SALI cultures. By comparing the gene expression profile of SALI cultures with that of human lung parenchyma obtained via single-cell RNA-sequencing, we found that SALI cultures are remarkably similar to human alveolar type II cells implying clinical relevance of the platform as a non-diseased lung model.

Club cells employ regeneration mechanisms during lung tumorigenesis

Project description:Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is one of the deadliest malignancies worldwide. Dynamic lineage changes within the lung epithelium and the high plasticity of these epithelial cells confound the correct identification of the cell-of-origin of LUAD. Here, we combined lineage-tracing mouse models with an autochthonous cell type-independent LUAD model in order to discover the cellular origin of ALK-translocated LUAD. We identified Club and AT2 cells as the cells-of-origin of LUAD. Moreover, we uncovered epigenetic imprints in the tumours originating from Club or AT2 cells by whole-genome bisulfite sequencing. Single-cell transcriptomes of Club cells at different stages of tumour development identified two trajectories of Club cell evolution. On both routes, tumours lose their Club cell identity and gain an AT2-like phenotype. Together, this study highlights the role of Club cells in LUAD initiation and unveils key mechanisms conferring LUAD heterogeneity.
