Single-cell RNA-Seq Analysis to investigate the potential of epithelial stem cells from human small bronchi in the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

ABSTRACT: Basal cells (BCs) are essential airway stem cells to maintain and repair the integrity of airway epithelium. We performed scRNA-seq to evaluate the cultured airway basal cell condition and heterogeneity between healthy control and IPF groups. Similar distributions of BCs subpopulations were detected between healthy control and IPF groups. Through GO enrichment analysis, we found that a vast majority of cells defined as cluster A were highly expressing genes associated with normal cell functions such as cell proliferation and division. Despite a small portion of cluster B cells (approximately 4% of total) existing in IPF samples, this was attributed to a background ratio when compared with healthy controls. We next investigated the potential regulatory impact of transplanted BCs on host endogenous cells(Fibroblasts & Distal_ BCs) by analysis of scRNA-seq data. Our study reveals that epithelial stem cells from human small bronchi offer a potential for therapy of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Single-cell RNA-Seq of fibroblasts derived from one patient with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Project description:Fibroblast appears to play a central role in the pathogenesis of IPF. We performed scRNA-seq of fibroblast from IPF patient, and evaluate its cell-cell interaction combined with the engrafted bronchial BCs. Our study reveals that engrafted BCs isolated from small bronchi can mediate anti-fibrotic effect by interacting with adjacent fibroblasts.

BAL cell gene expression is predictive of Mortality in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and enriched for Genes of Airway Basal Cells (I)

Project description:Background: Based on previous publication and our own data we became interested in the gene expression signature of airway basal cells. Methods: Bronchoscopy with bronchial brushes and bronchoalveolar lavage was performed in healthy donors. Airway basal cells were obtained by brushing segmental bronchi of the right lower lobe and outgrowth of cells in BEGM supplemented with growth factors according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Alveolar macrophages were sorted by flow cytometry. Microarray data of 11 airway basal cell samples, 7 alveolar macrophage samples and 4 samples of bronchial epithelial cells were obtained. The transcriptome of the three different cell types was compared using univariate ANOVA resulting in 8874 genes significantly differently expressed between the three cell types (p<0.0001). The data of these 8874 transcripts were used for a clustering approach applying Cluster 3.0 software. The samples were hierarchically clustered with median normalization of the genes and centroid linkage, and the similarity metric used was Pearson correlation. Results and Conclusion: we obtained an airway basal cell type specific signature consisting out of 961 genes which was used in further studies.

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.

Exaggerated BMP4 signalling alters human airway basal progenitor cell differentiation to cigarette smoking-related phenotypes [array]

Project description:Airway remodelling in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) originates, in part, from smoking-induced changes in airway basal stem/progenitor cells (BCs). Based on the knowledge that bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) influences epithelial progenitor function in the developing and adult mouse lung, we hypothesised that BMP4 signalling may regulate the biology of adult human airway BCs relevant to COPD. BMP4 signalling components in human airway epithelium were analysed at the mRNA and protein levels, and the differentiation of BCs was assessed using the BC expansion and air-liquid interface models in the absence/presence of BMP4, BMP receptor inhibitor and/or small interfering RNAs against BMP receptors and downstream signalling.

BAL cell gene expression is predictive of Mortality in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and enriched for Genes of Airway Basal Cells (II)

Project description:Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal disease with variable outcome. Currently, there is little information whether changes in molecular pathways in the alveolar compartment of patients with IPF are indicative of disease progression. To address this question we analyzed gene expression signatures in cells obtained from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of patients with IPF. Methods: BAL cells were harvested from 212 IPF patients and 20 healthy donors at the time of diagnosis. RNA was extracted, labeled and hybridized to Agilent gene expression arrays. Our study included a discovery cohort of 62 patients from Freiburg, Germany, and two independent validation cohorts, Siena, Italy (50 patients) and Leuven, Belgium (64 patients). Survival analysis was performed by applying Cox models and component-wise boosting. Results: We found 1582 genes predictive of mortality in the discovery cohort in univariate analyses adjusted for age and gender at FDR<0.05. A nine gene signature, developed by component-wise boosting in the Freiburg array dataset, performed well in both validation cohorts, Siena (p<0.0032) and Leuven (p=0.0033). The genes associated with mortality in BAL cells were significantly enriched for genes expressed in airway basal epithelial cells, airway progenitor cells recently implicated in fibrosis. Conclusions: Our results identify and validate a BAL cell gene expression signature that predicts mortality in IPF. This signature unmasks a potential novel role for airway basal epithelial cells in IPF.

Gene expression data from mouse tracheal epithelial cells isolated before and 48hrs after SO2 injury

Project description:The conducting airway epithelium of the rodent and human lung is made up of about equal proportions of ciliated and secretory cells. In addition, in regions where the epithelium is pseudostratfied, ~30% of the epithelium consists of undifferentiated basal cells (BCs). Evidence suggests that these BCs are multipotent stem cells that can self renew over the long term and give rise to both ciliated and secretory lineages. The goal of this project is to identify cellular and molecular mechanisms by which the basal cells normally maintain the epithelium and repair it after injury. We used Affymetrix microarray analysis to compare transcripts in tracheal epithelium before and after SO2 injury.

Single cell reconstruction of human basal cell diversity in normal and IPF lung (single-cell RNAseq)

Project description:Declining lung function in patients with interstitial lung disease is accompanied by epithelial remodeling and progressive scarring of the gas-exchange region. There is a need to better understand the contribution of basal cell hyperplasia and associated mucosecretory dysfunction to the development of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Single cell RNA sequencing was used to map epithelial cell types of the normal and IPF human airway. Organoid and ALI cultures were used to investigate functional properties of basal cell subtypes. We confirmed that Notch2 maintains undifferentiated basal cells and restrict basal-to-ciliated differentiation, and present evidence that Notch3 functions to restrain secretory differentiation. When characterizing single cell transcriptomes of the IPF lung we found a bias towards accumulation of the secretory primed basal cell subset.
