Stem cell niche ageing involves coordinated changes in transcription and alternative splicing

ABSTRACT: Gene expression (GE) determines the functionality and properties of cell types. Alternative splicing (AS) enhances the complexity of the transcriptome, expanding the protein interactome. As GE and AS jointly contribute to the formation of new interaction networks with potentially significant cellular functions, they could serve as the foundation for fundamental biological processes like ageing. Here, we investigate ageing in the Drosophila female germline stem cell (GSC) niche and describe functional changes in both GE and AS in aged flies. The GSC niche comprises escort cells, terminal filament cells and cap cells. Comparison of their transcriptomes reveals that, while all these cell types share genes exhibiting differential GE and AS variations related to cell adhesion, cytoskeleton and neural signalling during ageing, each population also experiences distinctive changes. This demonstrates unique ageing signatures within niche cell types. In addition and depending on the niche cell population, sets of genes display changes in both GE and AS, revealing a coordinated effort in the regulation of transcription and splicing during niche ageing. One such gene is Fasciclin 2, a neural adhesion molecule which we report to be essential for niche functioning. Furthermore, some genes involved in AS undergo changes in GE and/or AS themselves, providing a mechanistic explanation for the coordination of these two processes in the regulation of stem cell niche ageing. This is the case of the splicing factor Smu1, described here as a key element necessary for ovarian niche homeostasis.

Genome-wide maps of Lsd1 binding sites in escort cells/early follicle cells and cap cells/terminal filament cells

Project description:Loss of Lsd1 in Drosophila in specific cells of the Drosophila ovary results in increased BMP signaling outside the cap cell niche and an expanded germline stem cell (GSC) phenotype. To better characterize the function of Lsd1 in different cell populations within the ovary, we performed Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq). This analysis shows that Lsd1 associates with a surprisingly limited number of sites in escort cells and fewer, and often, different sites in cap cells. These findings indicate that Lsd1 displays highly selective binding in specific cellular contexts.

Integrated long- and short-read single-cell RNA-sequencing

Project description:Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis has recently provided snapshots of gene expression of specific cell types and enabled cell types classification within an heterogenous population. As well as transcriptional changes, alternative splicing events and modifications of components of splicing machinery actively contributes in shaping cellular phenotype as well as ageing process and diseases occurence. Current high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing methods may lack information on cell-specific isoform expression, missing key aspects of cell biology. In the present work we introduce a novel approach using the 10X Genomics Chromium to generate short-read (Illumina) and long-read (Pacific Biosciences Sequel II) RNA-sequencing libraries from the same single cells. This approach produced single cell parallel transcriptional and splicing profiling that demonstrates for the first time cell-type specific isoform expression and alterations at transcriptional levels associated with ageing in haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells

Transcription profiling of Drosophila ovaries from bam mutant and stwl bam double mutant females

Project description:Abstract: During Drosophila oogenesis, germline stem cell (GSC) identity is maintained largely by preventing the expression of factors that promote differentiation. This is accomplished via the activity of several genes acting either in the GSC or its niche. The translational repressors, Nanos and Pumilio, act in GSCs to prevent differentiation, likely by inhibiting translation of early differentiation factors, while niche signals prevent differentiation by silencing transcription of the differentiation factor Bam. We have found that the DNA-associated protein Stonewall (Stwl) is also required for GSC maintenance. stwl is required cell-autonomously; clones of stwl- germ cells were lost by differentiation, and ectopic Stwl caused an expansion of GSCs. stwl mutants acted as Suppressors of Variegation, indicating stwl normally acts in chromatin-dependent gene repression. In contrast to several previously described GSC maintenance factors, Stwl likely functions epigenetically to prevent GSC differentiation. Stwl-dependent transcriptional repression does not target bam, but rather Stwl represses the expression of many genes, including those that may be targeted by Nanos/Pumilio translational inhibition. Experiment Overall Design: Genetic variation comparison between germ cells of Drosophila ovaries from bam mutant and stwl bam double mutant females. Six total samples were analyzed, with each genotype performed in triplicates.

Stem cell niche organisation in the Drosophila ovary requires the ECM component Perlecan

Project description:Stem cells reside in specialised microenvironments or niches that balance stem cell proliferation and differentiation. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an essential component of most niches, as it controls niche homeostasis, provides physical support and conveys extracellular signals. Basement membranes (BMs) are thin ECM sheets constituted mainly by Laminins, Perlecan, Collagen IV and Entactin/Nidogen and that surround epithelia and other tissues. Perlecans are secreted proteoglycans that interact with ECM proteins, ligands, receptors and growth factors such as FGF, PDGF, VEGF, Hedgehog and Wingless. Thus, Perlecans have structural and signalling functions through the binding, storage or sequestering of specific ligands. We have used the Drosophila ovary to assess the importance of Perlecan in the functioning of a stem cell niche. Ovarioles in the adult ovary are enveloped by an ECM sheath and possess a tapered structure at their anterior apex termed the germarium. The anterior tip of the germarium hosts the germline niche, where two to four germline stem cells (GSCs) reside together with few somatic cells: terminal filament (TF) cells, cap cells (CpCs) and escort cells (ECs). We report that niche architecture in the developing gonad requires trol, that niche cells secrete an isoform-specific, Perlecan-rich interstitial matrix and that DE-cadherin-dependent stem cell-niche adhesion necessitates trol. Hence, we provide evidence to support a structural role for Perlecan in germline niche establishment during larval stages and in the maintenance of a normal pool of stem cells in the adult niche.

Multiple Niche Compartments Orchestrate Stepwise Stem Cell Lineage Differentiation

Project description:The niche controls stem cell self-renewal and progenitor differentiation for maintaining adult tissue homeostasis in various organisms. However, it remains unclear if the niche is compartmentalized to control stem cell self-renewal and stepwise progeny differentiation. In the Drosophila ovary, inner germarial sheath (IGS) cells form a niche for controlling germline stem cell (GSC) progeny differentiation. In this study, we have identified four IGS subpopulations, which form linearly arranged niche compartments for controlling GSC maintenance and multi-step progeny differentiation. Single-cell analysis of the adult ovary has identified four IGS subpopulations (IGS1-4), which identities and cellular locations have been further confirmed by fluorescent in situ hybridization. IGS1 and IGS2 physically interact with GSCs and mitotic cysts to control GSC maintenance and cyst formation, respectively, whereas IGS3 and IGS4 physically interact with 16-cell cysts to regulate meiosis and oocyte development. Finally, one follicle cell progenitor population has also been transcriptionally defined for facilitating future studies on follicle stem cell regulation. Therefore, this study has structurally revealed that the niche is organized into multiple compartments for orchestrating stepwise adult stem cell development, and has also provided useful resources and tools for further functional characterization of the niche in the future.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of escort cells (ECs) in Drosophila ovaries

Project description:Escort cells (ECs) in the Drosophila ovaries showed important functions in modulate germline cysts differentiation, as germline cysts differentiation niche, yet their subtypes and functions to germline cysts were still little known. Through single cell RNA-sequencing analysis, here we provide a comprehensive analysis of cellular diversity and functions of ECs in adult Drosophila germariums. We identify 2 EC subtypes with different gene expression and functions, further tested through EC subtypes-specific gene RNAi. Our single-cell data should greatly facilitate understanding of the functions of ECs as differentiation niche.

Transcriptomic and Proteomic Signatures of Stemness and Differentiation in the Colon Crypt

Project description:The intestinal epithelium is replaced weekly by non-quiescent stem cells with kinetics that rely on a rapid loss of stemness and choice for secretory or absorptive lineage differentiation. To determine how the cellular transcriptome and proteome changes during these transitions, we developed a new cell sorting method to purify stem cells, secretory and absorptive progenitor cells, and mature, differentiated cells. Transcriptome analyses revealed that as stem cells transition to the progenitor stage, alternative mRNA splicing and polyadenylation dominate changes in the transcriptome. In contrast, as progenitors differentiate into mature cell types, alterations in gene expression and mRNA levels drive the changes. RNA processing targets mRNAs encoding regulators of cell cycle, RNA regulators, cell adhesion, SUMOylation, and Wnt and Notch signaling. Additionally, carrier-assisted mass spectrometry of sorted cell populations detected >2,800 proteins and revealed RNA:protein patterns of abundance and correlation. Paired together, these data highlight new potentials for autocrine and feedback regulation and provide new insights into cell state transitions in the crypt.
