Most adult gonadotrophs originate from postnatal pituitary stem cells during minipuberty.

ABSTRACT: In the first three weeks postnatally, the pituitary gland undergoes a period of rapid growth, due to both cell proliferation and endocrine cell size increase. SCs are initially the most proliferative, and lineage tracing experiments previously showed that neonatal SCs can give rise to all endocrine cell types. However, because the Cre drivers used for lineage tracing were relatively inefficient and relied on tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator which perturbs normal physiology, we could not decipher SC contribution to organ growth. We have thus performed lineage tracing using a new, more efficient and physiologically neutral Sox2rtTA allele. When we traced early postnatal SCs using Sox2rtTA, we observed, similarly in both sexes, that most adult gonadotrophs derive from this neonatal SC population. These observations were confirmed and complemented by a single cell RNAseq dataset from postnatal day 3 (PND3) SOX9iresGFP XX and XY positive cells. From SOX9iresGFP cells, which comprise SCs and their immediate progeny, cell trajectories were inferred, and relevant gene regulatory networks predicted. Along with lineage tracing experiments, this dataset confirmed that SCs mostly differentiate into gonadotrophs postnatally. As animals develop, SC-derived gonadotrophs invade the gland, while the minor embryonic population remains confined ventrally. The discovery of a dual origin for gonadotrophs may help understand aspects of gonadotrophin regulation and mechanisms of diseases affecting puberty and fertility.

Postnatal expansion of the lymph node stromal cell pool towards reticular and CD34+ stromal cell subsets [BRB-seq]

Project description:Gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) provide the framework to shape intestinal adaptive immune responses. We previously delineated transcriptional signatures in LN stromal cells (SC), pointing to tissue-specific variability in SC composition and immunomodulatory function. Here, using scRNA-seq we dissected the developmental trajectory of SCs within mLNs derived from postnatal to aged mice, and identified two putative progenitors, namely CD34+ SC and fibroblastic reticular stromal cell (FRC) progenitors, which both feed the rapid LN expansion postnatally. We further unraveled the tissue-specific chromatin accessibility and DNA methylation landscape of non-endothelial SCs, and identified a microbiota-independent core epigenomic signature, showcasing differences between SCs from mLN and skin-draining peripheral LN. Irf3 was inferred from the epigenomic landscape of SCs, being dynamically expressed along the differentiation trajectories of FRCs. Lentiviral overexpression of Irf3 in a mesenchymal stem cell line established a Cxcl9+ FRC molecular phenotype. The relevance of Irf3 for SC biology was further underscored by the diminished proportion of Ccl19+ and Cxcl9+ FRCs in LNs from Irf3-/- mice. Together, our data constitute a comprehensive transcriptional and epigenomic map of LNSC development in early life and dissect location-specific, microbiota-independent properties of non-endothelial SCs.

Single-cell transcriptomics of neonatal mouse anterior pituitary in steady-state conditions and after transgenically inflicted local damage

Project description:The mouse pituitary gland undergoes vivid maturation immediately after birth. During this process, the local stem cell compartment shows signs of activation including elevated abundance and expression of stemness pathways when compared to adult pituitary stem cells. In addition, we found that the neonatal pituitary displays high regeneration efficiency, as occurring following diphtheria toxin (DT)-triggered endocrine cell-ablation injury using the GHCre/iDTR mouse model (expressing Cre recombinase under control of the growth hormone (Gh) promoter, as well as Cre-inducible (floxed) DT receptor (iDTR)). This regeneration is more pronounced than in older mice, which is in line with the activated (stem cell) nature of the neonatal gland. However, it is not known what molecular mechanisms underlie the stem cell activation status in the neonatal gland. Here, we set out to decode the stem cells’ phenotype during the neonatal pituitary maturation stage starting from single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) interrogations of neonatal (postnatal day 7, PD7) normal (undamaged) and damaged pituitary (more specifically, its major endocrine anterior lobe).

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Micro-Niches Govern Stem Cell Lineage Choices (ATAC-seq)

Project description:Adult tissue stem cells (SCs) reside in niches, which through intercellular contacts and signaling, influence SC behavior. Once activated, SCs typically give rise to short-lived transit-amplifying cells (TACs), which then progress to differentiate into their lineages. Here, using single cell RNA-sequencing, we unearth unexpected heterogeneity among SCs and TACs of hair follicles. We trace the roots of this heterogeneity to micro-niches along epithelial-mesenchymal interfaces, where progenitors display molecular signatures reflective of spatially distinct local signals and intercellular interactions. Using lineage-tracing, temporal single cell analyses and chromatin landscaping, we show that SC plasticity becomes restricted in a sequentially and spatially choreographed program, culminating in seven spatially arranged uni-lineage progenitors within TACs of mature follicles. By compartmentalizing SCs into micro-niches, tissues gain precise control over morphogenesis and regeneration: Some progenitors specify lineages immediately; others retain potency, preserving self-renewing features established early while progressively restricting lineages as they experience dynamic changes in microenvironment.

Dynamic regulation of tissue fluidity controls skin repair during wound healing [ATAC]

Project description:During wounding healing, different pools of stem cells (SCs) During homeostasis, different compartments of the epidermis are sustained by distinct pools of stem cells (SC) whereas, upon wounding, these different SCs contribute to skin repair. However, how SCs become activated and drive the tissue remodeling essential for skin repair is still poorly understood. Here, by developing a mouse model allowing lineage tracing and basal cell lineage ablation while leaving the basic organization of the skin intact, we monitor SC fate and tissue dynamics during regeneration using confocal and intravital imaging. Analysis of basal cell rearrangements shows dynamic transitions from a solid-like homeostatic state to a fluid-like state allowing tissue remodelling during repair, as predicted by a minimal mathematical modelling of the spatiotemporal dynamics and fate behaviour of the basal cells population. The basal cell layer progressively returns to a solid-like state with re-epithelialization and the restoration of barrier function. Bulk, single-cell RNA and epigenetic profiling of SCs together with functional experiments uncover a common regenerative state regulated by the EGFR/AP1 axis activated during tissue fluidization that is essential for skin SC activation and tissue repair.
