Single-cell RNA Sequencing for CD248 cKO Mouse hearts at myocardial infarction model

ABSTRACT: Post-injury remodeling is a complex process involving temporal specific cellular interactions in the injured tissue where the resident fibroblasts play multiple roles, including inflammation induction and tissue remodeling. To dissect the molecular basis of these interactions, we performed single-cell and spatial transcriptome analysis in human and mouse hearts after myocardial infarction. A subset of fibroblasts identified by unique high expression of CD248 was strongly correlated with collagen synthesis and remodeling, and genetic deletion of CD248 in fibroblast ameliorated cardiac fibrosis and dysfunction following ischemia/reperfusion, highlighting the functional importance of CD248 positive fibroblasts in post-injury pathological remodeling. CD248 stabilizes TGF-βR Ⅰ protein and activates ACKR3 expression in fibroblast, leading to enhanced T cell adhesion and retention. This CD248 mediated fibroblast-T cell interaction is required to sustain fibroblast activation and scar expansion in injured heart. Disruption of this interaction using monoclonal antibody or Chimeric antigen receptor T cell reduces T cell infiltration, ameliorates ischemia/reperfusion-induced cardiac fibrosis and improves heart function. Therefore, single cell molecular profiling in post-injury heart has uncovered a CD248 specific subclass of fibroblast with a critical role in fibroblast-T cell interaction and a new potential therapy to treat tissue fibrosis.

Distinct phenotypes induced by acute hypoxia and TGF-β1 in human adult cardiac fibroblasts

Project description:Myocardial infarctions cause hypoxic injury to downstream tissue and a consequent fibrotic remodeling process to replace injured tissue with a scar. Scar formation occurs through phases of wound healing in which stimuli such as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) drive cardiac fibroblasts to activate into a myofibroblast phenotype and deposit matrix molecules that form a scar. While this is necessary to repair injured tissue, excessive fibrosis commonly occurs which is correlated with heart failure. Therefore, defining cardiac fibroblast phenotypes under hypoxic stimuli and TGF-β is essential for understanding and treating pathological fibrosis. We robustly characterized fibroblast phenotype through immunofluorescence, quantitative RT-PCR, and proteomic analysis, after either TGF-β treatment or hypoxia durations that mimic acute hypoxic injury post-infarction. We find that hypoxic fibroblasts respond to low oxygen with increased hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) but not HIF-2 activity by 4h. This is accompanied by increased gene and protein levels of VEGFA and LOX, respectively, which are both targets of HIF-1. Both TGF-β1 and hypoxia inhibit proliferation by 24h. While TGF-β1 treatment upregulated various fibrotic pathways, hypoxia causes a global reduction in protein synthesis, including collagen biosynthesis. This study discerns overlapping from distinctive outcomes of TGF-β1 and hypoxia treatment, which is important for elucidating their roles in fibrotic remodeling post-MI.

PFKFB3-mediated glycolysis boosts fibroblast activation and subsequent kidney fibrosis

Project description:<p>Renal fibrosis, a hallmark of chronic kidney diseases, is driven by the activation of renal fibroblasts. Recent studies have highlighted the role of glycolysis in this process. Nevertheless, one critical glycolytic activator, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3), remains unexplored in renal fibrosis. Upon reanalyzing the single-cell sequencing data from Dr. Humphreys' lab, we noticed an upregulation of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and TGFβ signaling pathway in myofibroblasts from fibrotic kidneys after unilateral ureter obstruction (UUO) or kidney ischemia/reperfusion. Furthermore, our experiments showed significant induction of PFKFB3 in mouse kidneys following UUO or kidney ischemia/reperfusion. To delve deeper into the role of PFKFB3, we generated mice with Pfkfb3 deficiency specifically in myofibroblasts (Pfkfb3f/fPostnMCM). Following UUO or kidney ischemia/reperfusion, a substantial decrease of fibrosis in injured kidneys of Pfkfb3f/fPostnMCM mice was identified compared to their wild-type littermates. Additionally, in cultured renal fibroblast NRK-49F cells, PFKFB3 was elevated upon exposure to TGFβ1, accompanied by the increase of α-SMA and fibronectin. Notably, this upregulation was significantly diminished with PFKFB3 knockdown, correlated with a glycolysis suppression. Mechanistically, the glycolytic metabolite lactate promoted the fibrotic activation of NRK-49F. In conclusion, our study demonstrates the critical role of PFKFB3 in driving fibroblast activation and subsequent renal fibrosis.</p>

Histological Signatures Reveal Anti-Fibrotic Factors in Mouse and Human Lungs [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Fibrosis, the replacement of healthy tissue with collagen-rich matrix, can occur following injury in almost every organ. Mouse lungs follow stereotyped sequences of fibrogenesis-to-resolution after bleomycin injury, and we reasoned that profiling post-injury histological progression could uncover pro- vs. anti-fibrotic features with functional value for human fibrosis. We mapped spatiotemporally-resolved transformations in lung extracellular matrix (ECM) architecture to spatially-resolved, multi-omic data. First, we charted stepwise trajectories of matrix aberration vs. resolution using unsupervised machine learning, denoting a reversible transition in uniform-to-disordered histological architecture. Single-cell sequencing along these trajectories identified temporally-enriched “ECM-secreting” (Csmd1+) and “pro-resolving” (Cd248+) fibroblasts, for which Visium inferred divergent histological signatures and spatial-transcriptional “neighborhoods”. Critically, pro-resolving fibroblast instillation helped ameliorate fibrosis in vivo. Further, fibroblast neighborhood-associated moieties, Serpine2 and Pi16, functionally modulated human lung fibrosis ex vivo. Spatial phenotyping of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis further uncovered analogous fibroblast subtypes and neighborhoods in human disease. Collectively, these findings establish an atlas of pro-/anti-fibrotic factors underlying lung matrix architecture and implicate fibroblast-centered moieties in modulating fibrotic progression vs. resolution.

Prrx1b restricts fibrosis and promotes Nrg1-dependent cardiomyocyte proliferation during zebrafish heart regeneration

Project description:Fibroblasts are activated to repair the heart following injury. Fibroblast activation in the mammalian heart leads to a permanent fibrotic scar that impairs cardiac function. In other organisms, such as zebrafish, cardiac injury is followed by transient fibrosis and scar-free regeneration. The mechanisms that drive scarring versus scar-free regeneration are not well understood. Here, we show that the homeobox-containing transcription factor Prrx1b is required for scar-free regeneration of the zebrafish heart as the loss of Prrx1b results in excessive fibrosis and impaired cardiomyocyte proliferation. Through lineage tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing we find that Prrx1b is activated in epicardial-derived cells where it restricts TGFβ ligand expression and collagen production. Furthermore, through combined in vitro experiments in human fetal epicardial-derived cells and in vivo rescue experiments in zebrafish, we conclude that Prrx1 stimulates Nrg1 expression and promotes cardiomyocyte proliferation. Collectively, these results indicate that Prrx1 is a key transcription factor that balances fibrosis and regeneration in the injured zebrafish heart.

Consequences of fibroblast ablation in adult murine hearts

Project description:Fibroblasts produce the majority of collagen in the heart and are thought to regulate extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover. However, the in vivo role of fibroblasts in structuring the basal ECM network is poorly understood. To examine the effects of fibroblast loss on the microenvironment in the adult murine heart, we generated mice with reduced fibroblast numbers and evaluated the tissue microenvironment during homeostasis and after injury. We determined that a 60-80% reduction in fibroblasts numbers did not overtly change the fibrillar collagen network but did alter the distribution and abundance of type VI collagen, a microfibrillar collagen that forms an open network with the basement membrane. In fibroblast ablated mice, myocardial infarction did not result in ventricular wall rupture, and heart function was more effectively preserved during angiotensin II/phenylephrine (AngII/PE) induced fibrosis. Analysis of cardiomyocyte contractility demonstrated weaker contractions and slower calcium release and reuptake in uninjured and AngII/PE infused fibroblast ablated animals. Moreover, fibroblast ablated hearts have a similar gene expression prolife to hearts with exercise-induced and physiological hypertrophy after AngII/PE infusion. These results suggest that hearts are resilient to a significant degree of fibroblast loss and that fibroblasts can directly impact cardiomyocyte function. Furthermore, a reduction in fibroblasts may have cardioprotective effects heart after injury suggesting that manipulation of the number of fibroblasts may have therapeutic value.

Gene network analysis of interstitial macrophages after treatment with induced pluripotent stem cells secretome (iPSC-cm) in the bleomycin injured rat lung

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a complex disease involving various cell types. Macrophages are essential in maintenance of physiological homeostasis, wound repair and fibrosis in the lung. Macrophages play a crucial role in repair and remodeling by altering their phenotype and secretory pattern in response to injury. The secretome of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-cm) attenuates injury and fibrosis in bleomycin injured rat lungs. In the current study, we evaluate the effect of iPSC-cm on interstitial macrophage gene expression and phenotype in bleomycin injured rat lungs in vivo. Â iPSC-cm was intratracheally instilled 7 days after bleomycin induced lung injury and assessed 7 days later and single cell isolation was performed. Macrophages were FACS sorted and microarray analysis was performed. We characterized changes in the rat lung interstitial macrophages using transcriptional profiling.
