RNA-seq reveals differential gene expression profiles of alveolar type II epithelial cells in young and aged mice lungs

ABSTRACT: Lung aging triggers the onset of various chronic lung diseases, with alveolar repair being a key focus for alleviating pulmonary conditions. The regeneration of epithelial structures, particularly the differentiation from type II alveolar epithelial (AT2) cells to type I alveolar epithelial (AT1) cells, serves as a prominent indicator of alveolar repair. Nonetheless, the precise role of aging in impeding alveolar regeneration and the underlying mechanism remain to be fully elucidated. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying AT2 cell functional decline during lung aging, we employed transcriptomic techniques to explicit the differences in gene expression between AT2 cells of young (3-month old) and old (24-month old) mouse lungs, and revealed correlation between inflammatory factors and genes regulating proliferation and differentiation. Physiological aging-induced chronic inflammation impairs AT2 cell functions, hindering tissue repair and promoting lung disease progression. This study offers novel insights into chronic inflammation's impact on stem cell-mediated alveolar regeneration.

Single-cell transcriptomics of mouse alveolar type 2 cells after bleomycin treatment

Project description:Aging-related impairment in alveolar regeneration has been identified in a variety of acute and chronic lung diseases. As the aging population increases, understanding the mechanisms involved in age-dependent deterioration in alveolar stem cell function can support the development of new therapies for lung diseases. In this study, we investigated the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying AT2 cell differentiation and how aging affected post-injury alveolar regeneration. We discovered that the process of AT2 cells differentiating into AT1 cells is an energetically costly process. During the differentiation of AT2 cells, activated AMPK-PFKFB2 signaling up-regulates glycolysis, which is essential to enhance cellular ATP production and to support the intracellular energy expenditure that is required for cell shape change and cytoskeletal remodeling during AT2 cells differentiating into AT1 cells. AT2 cells in aging lungs show reduced AMPK-PFKFB2 signaling and decreased ATP production, resulting in impaired AT2 cell differentiation. Activating AMPK-PFKFB2 signaling in aged AT2 cells can rescue defects in alveolar regeneration. Thus, beyond demonstrating that the activation of AMPK-PFKFB2 signaling facilitates the great energy demands of AT2 cells during alveolar regeneration, our study suggests that modulating these pathways could promote the alveolar repair in aged lungs.

Epithelial Yap/Taz are required for functional alveolar regeneration following acute lung injury

Project description:A hallmark of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other interstitial lung diseases is dysregulated repair of the alveolar epithelium. The Hippo pathway effector transcription factors YAP and TAZ are implicated as essential for type 1 and type 2 alveolar epithelial cell (AT1 and AT2) differentiation in the developing lung, yet aberrant activation of YAP/TAZ is a prominent feature of the dysregulated alveolar epithelium in IPF. In these studies, we sought to define the functional role of YAP/TAZ activity during alveolar regeneration. We demonstrated that Yap and Taz are normally activated in AT2 cells shortly after injury, and deletion of Yap/Taz in AT2 cells led to pathologic alveolar remodeling, failure of AT2 to AT1 cell differentiation, increased collagen deposition, exaggerated neutrophilic inflammation, and increased mortality following injury induced by a single dose of bleomycin. Loss of Yap/Taz activity prior to a LPS injury prevented AT1 cell regeneration, led to intra-alveolar collagen deposition, and resulted in persistent innate inflammation. Together these findings established that AT2 cell Yap/Taz activity is essential for functional alveolar epithelial repair and prevention of fibrotic remodeling.

Klf5 promotes alveolar epithelial type 1 cell lineage commitment during lung development and regeneration

Project description:Alveolar epithelial cell fate decisions drive lung development and regeneration. Using transcriptomic and epigenetic profiling coupled with genetic mouse and organoid models, we identified Klf5 as a critical regulator of alveolar epithelial cell fate across the lifespan. During prenatal lung development and alveologenesis, Klf5 enforces alveolar epithelial type 1 (AT1) cell lineage fidelity. While it is dispensable for both adult AT1 and alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cell homeostasis, Klf5 regulates AT2 cell plasticity after injury. Klf5 represses AT2 cell proliferation and enhances AT2-AT1 cell differentiation in a spatially restricted manner in both infectious and non-infectious models of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Moreover, ex vivo organoid assays reveal that Klf5 modulates AT2 cell fate decisions through reducing AT2 cell sensitivity to inflammatory signaling. These data highlight a major transcriptional regulator of AT1 cell lineage commitment and of the AT2 cell response to inflammatory crosstalk during lung regeneration.

Insights into Early Recovery from Influenza Pneumonia by Spatial and Temporal Quantification of Putative Lung Regeneration Cells and buy Lung Proteomics

Project description:During influenza pneumonia, the alveolar epithelial cells of the lungs are targeted by influenza virus. The distal airway stem cells (DASCs) and proliferating alveolar type II (AT2) cells are reported to be putative lung repair cells. However, their relative spatial and temporal distribution is still unknown during influenza-induced acute lung injury. Here, we investigated the distribution of these cells, and concurrently performed global proteomic analysis of the infected lungs to elucidate and link the cellular and molecular events during influenza pneumonia recovery. BALB/c mice were infected with a sub-lethal dose of influenza H1N1 virus. From 5 to 25 days post-infection (dpi), mouse lungs were subjected to histopathologic and immunofluorescence analysis to probe for global distribution of lung repair cells (using P63 and KRT5 markers for DASCs; PCNA and SPC markers for AT2 cells). At 7 and 15 dpi, infected mouse lungs were also subjected to protein mass spectrometry for relative protein quantification. DASCs appeared only in the damaged area of the lung from 7 dpi onwards, reaching a peak at 21 dpi, and persisted at 25 dpi. However, no differentiation of DASCs to AT2 cells was observed by 25 dpi. In contrast, AT2 cells began proliferating from 7 dpi to replenish its population. Mass spectrometry and gene ontology analysis revealed prominent innate immune response at 7 dpi, which shifted towards adaptive immune responses by 15 dpi. Hence, proliferating AT2 cells but not DASCs contribute to AT2 cell regeneration following transition from innate to adaptive immune responses during the early phase of recovery from influenza pneumonia up to 25 dpi.

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.

Fgf10-Fgfr2b signaling generates basal cells and drives alveolar epithelial regeneration by bronchial epithelial stem cells after lung injury

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a common form of interstitial lung disease (ILD) resulting in alveolar remodeling and progressive loss of pulmonary function due to chronic alveolar injury and failure to regenerate the respiratory epithelium. Histologically, fibrotic lesions and honeycomb structures expressing atypical proximal airway epithelial markers replace alveolar structures, the latter normally lined by alveolar type 1 (AT1) and AT2 cells. Bronchial epithelial stem cells (BESCs) can give rise to AT2 and AT1 cells or honeycomb cysts following bleomycin-mediated lung injury. However, little is known about what controls this binary decision or whether this decision can be reversed. Here we report that inactivation of Fgfr2b in BESCs impairs their contribution to both alveolar epithelial regeneration and honeycomb cysts after bleomycin injury. By contrast overexpression of Fgf10 in BESCs enhances fibrosis resolution by favoring the more desirable outcome of alveolar epithelial regeneration over the development of pathologic honeycomb cysts.

Interleukin-11 causes alveolar type 2 cell dysfunction and prevents alveolar regeneration [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Following lung injury, alveolar regeneration is characterized by the transformation of alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells, via a transitional KRT8+ state, into alveolar type 1 (AT1) cells. In lung disease, dysfunctional intermediate cells accumulate, AT2 and AT1 cells are diminished and fibrosis occurs. Using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets of human interstitial lung disease, we found that Interleukin-11 (IL11) is specifically expressed in aberrant KRT8 expressing KRT5-/KRT17+ epithelial cells and basaloid cells. Stimulation of AT2 cells and distal airway epithelial cells with IL11 or TGFβ1 caused epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), induced extracellular matrix (ECM) production, increased KRT8 expression and stalled AT2-to-AT1 differentiation, with TGFβ1 effects being partially IL11 dependent. In bleomycin injured mouse lung, IL11 was increased in AT2-derived Krt8+ transitional cells and deletion of Il11ra1 in AT2 lineage cells prevented the accumulation of Krt8+ transitional cells, enhanced AT1 differentiation and promoted alveolar regeneration, which was replicated in therapeutic studies using anti-IL11 antibodies. scRNA-seq analysis of lung epithelial cells from mice with deletion of Il11ra1 in AT2 lineage cells further identified the importance of IL11 signaling for the potentiation and polarization of a disease-causing, ECM producing KRT8+ transitional cells that contributes to pathological lung remodeling. Overall, our data show that IL11 maintains damaged AT2 cells in a transitional state, impairs reparative AT1 differentiation and impairs endogenous alveolar regeneration to cause fibrotic lung disease.

Gene expression profile at single cell level of human pneumocytes and fibroblasts cultured as organoids

Project description:Alveolar type 2 (AT2) 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 human fibroblasts and the alveolar epithelium modelled in organoid cultures.
