Dynamic behavior and lineage plasticity of the pulmonary venous endothelium

ABSTRACT: Repair of the pulmonary vascular bed and the origin of new vasculature remains underexplored despite the critical necessity to meet oxygen demands after injury. Given their critical role in angiogenesis in other settings, we investigated the role of venous endothelial cells in endothelial regeneration after adult lung injury. Using single cell transcriptomics, we identified the norepinephrine transporter Slc6a2 as a marker of pulmonary venous endothelial cells and targeted that locus to generate a venous-specific, inducible Cre mouse line. Contributions of the venous endothelial cells to angiogenesis were examined during postnatal development, adult viral injury, and adult hyperoxia injury. Remarkably, we observed that venous endothelial cells proliferate into the adjacent capillary bed upon influenza injury and hyperoxia injury, but not during normal postnatal development. Imaging analysis demonstrated that venous endothelial cells exhibit the ability to proliferate and differentiate into general capillary and CAR4 expressing aerocyte capillary endothelial cells after infection, thus contributing to repair of the capillary plexus vital for gas exchange. Single cell transcriptomic analysis of Slc6a2 lineage traced cells confirmed these observations, with progeny exhibiting significant loss of venous identity and gain of capillary marker expression upon injury resolution. Our studies thus establish that venous endothelial cells exhibit demonstrable progenitor capacity upon respiratory viral injury and sterile injury, contributing to repair of the alveolar capillary bed responsible for pulmonary function.

TRKB Signaling Promotes Alveolar Capillary Angiogenesis Following Perinatal Hyperoxic Damage

Project description:Impaired angiogenesis characterized by the reduced proliferation of pulmonary endothelial cells leads to reduced capillary density in patients with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). In a mouse model of BPD, perinatal hyperoxic injury decreases the number of the recently identified lung capillary stem cells termed as general capillary (gCap) cells, along with the specific reduction of Ntrk2, which encodes for Tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TRKB) within this subpopulation. Herein, we determine whether TRKB signaling is required for perinatal gCap cell proliferation and further promoting pulmonary angiogenesis using the hyperoxia mouse BPD model. TRKB activation by BDNF treatment led to enhanced tube-forming ability of endothelial cells in vitro. In vivo treatment of mice with BDNF increased the proliferation of gCap cells and alleviated capillary loss caused by hyperoxic injury. Conversely, inhibition of TRKB signaling disrupted the tube formation of endothelial cells and exaggerated the vascular endothelial damage caused by hyperoxia. We further show that MAPK/ERK signaling might act downstream of TRKB to modulate pulmonary angiogenesis. These data indicate that TRKB signaling play a critical role in pulmonary angiogenesis upon perinatal lung injury, supporting the concept that TRKB activation might be a potential therapeutic for preserving endothelial cells for lung diseases associated with prematurity.

Single-cell transcriptome Atlas reveals embryonic endothelial heterogeneity

Project description:Mature endothelial cells (ECs) are heterogeneous, with subtypes defined by tissue origin and by position within the vascular bed. Here, we performed scRNA-seq with mouse embryonic ECs and identified 19 subclusters, including Etv2+Bnip3+ early EC progenitors. Most of these subtypes were grouped by their vascular-bed types, while ECs from brain, heart and liver were grouped by their tissue origins. Compared to arterial ECs (aECs), embryonic venous (vECs) and capillary ECs (cECs) shared less markers with their adult counterparts. cECs showed some venous characteristics. One cEC cluster with both venous and capillary features served as a branch point for aEC and vEC lineages. aECs and vECs showed distinct transcriptional regulatory networks.

ATF3 promotes endothelial cell response to acute lung injury

Project description:Following acute injury, the capillary vascular bed in the lung must be repaired to reestablish gas exchange between pulmonary endothelial cells (ECs) lining these vessels and the alveolar epithelium. However, the factors that control EC stress response and drive regeneration of pulmonary capillaries remain incompletely understood. Viral infections such as influenza and COVID-19 may indirectly damage lung vasculature through loss of epithelial gas exchange partners or through signaling from infiltrating immune cells. To prevent excessive tissue damage and to renew the endothelium, ECs must both withstand cellular stress and proliferate after injury. Here, we show that the transcription factor and immediate early gene Atf3 is essential for both responses in the mouse lung after influenza infection. Atf3 expression defines a subpopulation of capillary ECs enriched in genes involved in cellular response to stress, angiogenesis, and vascular development. Endothelial loss of ATF3 results in defective alveolar regeneration: in the absence of ATF3, ECs exhibit increased apoptosis and decreased proliferation, resulting in an emphysema-like phenotype with enlarged alveolar airspaces lined with regions of lost vasculature. These data implicate ATF3 as an essential component of the vascular response to acute lung injury that is required for successful lung regeneration.

Lung injury-induced endothelial cell states persist in aging-associated non-resolving fibrosis

Project description:The capacity of lung tissue to heal without scarring deteriorates with aging. The pulmonary vasculature has emerged as a central regulator of lung repair, and aging-associated endothelial cell dysfunction has been associated with defective lung response to injury and sustained fibrosis. To shed light into aging-associated cellular and transcriptional responses of lung endothelial cells during lung fibrogenesis, we carried out a single cell RNA-seq analysis of bleomycin-treated young (2 months) and aged (72 months) lungs during the early phase of fibrosis resolution (30 days post bleomycin). This analysis revealed that lung injury was associated with the appearance of distinct populations of endothelial cells that exhibit “activated” transcriptional states, originating from virtually all vascular beds. Activated endothelial cells deriving from venous and capillary beds were the most represented in aged compared to young lungs. Longitudinal single-cell analysis together with lineage tracing revealed that activated endothelial cells appeared transiently during the peak of collagen production in young lungs and disappeared during the resolution phase. Conversely, activated endothelial cell states persisted in aged lungs around fibrotic areas, indicating a failure of the aged vascular tissue to return to quiescence. We provide evidence that an axis between YAP and TrkB signaling acts as a node that directs injury-induced capillary endothelial cell activation in vivo and lung capillary morphogenesis ex vivo. Together, these data provide insights into the aging-related dynamics of lung endothelial cells in response to injury.

MERFISH reveals embryonic endothelial heterogeneity

Project description:The heterogeneity of embryonic endothelial cells (ECs) especially the distinction of arteriovenous ECs remains incompletely characterized. We established a mouse single-EC transcriptomic landscape at mid-to-late gestation stage and identified 19 subclusters, including Etv2+Bnip3+ early ECs and 2 specialized ECs. Most of these subtypes were grouped by their vascular-bed types, while ECs from brain, heart and liver were grouped by their tissue origins. Unlike arterial ECs (aECs), embryonic venous (vECs) and capillary ECs (cECs) shared less markers with their adult counterparts. Notably, capillary clusters showed some venous characteristics and one of them served as an intermediate state of arteriovenous specification. Compared to the more early stage, a clear arteriovenous branch which also going through a venous plexus was identified. aECs and vECs showed distinct transcriptional modules including specific regulatory networks of transcription factors. Especially, USF1 and MECOM were verified functioning in arteriovenous differentiation through human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) differentiation models. We therefore provide a new map of endothelial heterogeneity highlighting regulation of arteriovenous specification.

Affymetrix array of postnatal day 4 mouse atria exposed to room air or hyperoxia

Project description:It is unclear why preterm birth increases risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. Studies in mice indicate excess oxygen typically used to treat preterm infants causes pulmonary hypertension, cardiac failure, and shortens lifespan. We previously reported neonatal hyperoxia causes pulmonary hypertension in aged mice as defined pathologically by pulmonary capillary rarefaction, dilation of pulmonary arterioles and veins, right ventricular hypertrophy, and reduced lifespan. These changes were preceded by a pronounced growth inhibition of cardiomyocytes lining the pulmonary vein and extending into the left atria, resulting in diastolic heart failure as the mice aged. To identify transcriptional changes by which hyperoxia suppresses proliferation of these cardiomyocytes, newborn mice were exposed to room air or 100% oxygen between birth and postnatal day 4. RNA was then isolated from atria of 3 room air and 4 hyperoxia-exposed mice and used to probe Affymetrix mouse array 430 versus 2.0

Affymetrix analysis of adult mouse lung exposed to room air or 100% oxygen between postnatal days 0-4

Project description:It is unclear why preterm birth increases risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. Studies in mice indicate excess oxygen used to treat preterm infants causes pulmonary hypertension, cardiac failure, and shortens lifespan. We previously reported neonatal hyperoxia causes pulmonary hypertension in aged mice as defined pathologically by pulmonary capillary rarefaction, dilation of pulmonary arterioles and veins, right ventricular hypertrophy, and reduced lifespan. Here, affymetrix gene arrays were used to identify early transcriptional changes in lungs of young adult mice exposed to room air or 100% oxygen between postnatal days 0-4.

Transcriptome Profile of Endothelial Cells in PAH Patients vs Controls

Project description:<p>The transcriptome of pulmonary arterial endothelial cells from healthy lungs and from lungs of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension have been analyzed and specific differences in disease-relevant pathways were identified. The genes identified as altered in these patients have direct effects on pulmonary arterial endothelial cell function. This finding may underlie the inability of the pulmonary vasculature to respond to and repair the damage observed in pulmonary hypertension. </p>

Oxygen Toxicity Causes Cyclic Damage by Destabilizing Specific Fe-S Cluster-Containing Protein Complexes

Project description:Oxygen is toxic across all three domains of life. Yet, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we systematically investigate the major cellular pathways affected by excess molecular oxygen. We find that hyperoxia destabilizes a specific subset of Fe-S cluster (ISC)-containing proteins, resulting in impaired diphthamide synthesis, purine metabolism, nucleotide excision repair, and electron transport chain (ETC) function. Our findings translate to primary human lung cells and a mouse model of pulmonary oxygen toxicity. We demonstrate that the ETC is the most vulnerable to damage, resulting in decreased mitochondrial oxygen consumption. This leads to further tissue hyperoxia and cyclic damage of the additional ISC-containing pathways. In support of this model, primary ETC dysfunction in the Ndufs4 KO mouse model causes lung tissue hyperoxia and dramatically increases sensitivity to hyperoxia-mediated ISC damage. This work has important implications for hyperoxia pathologies, including bronchopulmonary dysplasia, ischemia-reperfusion injury, aging, and mitochondrial disorders.
