Gene expression profile of human lung epithelial cells with different culture methods.

ABSTRACT: The goal of our study is to establish a method to propagate human pneumocytes efficiently in a large scale. While human pneumectomy-derived lung epithelial cells (LECs) showed efficient long-term growth when co-cultured with irradiated NIH-3T3, they do not express molecular markers of mature pneumocytes or airway cells in this condition. Removal of feeders causes differentiation toward airway club cell-like phenotype, and an induction treatment with combination of small molecules and growth factors is required to differentiate them toward pneumocytes. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, we analyzed gene expression profile of LECs with or without induction treatment. We also included LECs under coculture and the original frozen lung tissue, as a reference.

Project description:Scnn1b-Tg mice overexpress the beta subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (Scnn1b) in airway Club cells. The general phenotype of these mice is described in three published manuscripts (Mall et al. 2004, Nature Medicine, 10(5):487-93; Mall et al. 2008, Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 177(7):730-42; Livraghi-Butrico et al. 2012, Physiol. Genomics 44(8):470-84; and Livraghi-Butrico et al. 2012, Mucosal Immunology 5(4):397-408). Briefly, overexpression of the Scnn1b transgene in airway Club cells leads to hyperabsorption of sodium from the airway surface liquid, which causes airway surface liquid and mucus dehydration, resulting in reduced mucus clearance and airway mucus obstruction. The data provided here represents mRNA expression data from disseccted whole lung from male WT and Scnn1b-transgenic littermates (C57Bl/6NTac background) at 4 time points [postnatal days (PND) 0, 3, 10, and 42]. Histologically, PND 0 lungs are normal, at PND 3 the intrapulmonary airways exhibit transient and spotty Club cell necrosis, and by PND 10 airway mucus obstruction is evident in the proximal portion of the intrapulmonary main stem bronchus. At PND 42, Scnn1b-Tg lungs are charactyerized by chronic low level inflammation, with activated macrophages, neutrophilia, eosinophilia and increased incidence of bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue. The data from the WT mice provides a global look at mRNA post-natal developmental changes, while the data from the Scnn1b-transgenic line allows differential gene expression due to airway surface liquid dehydration and mucus obstruction to be queried. The data presented for the lung is part of a larger body of work evaluating gene expression in lung (left lobe only), trachea, and purified macrophages (from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid). 24 Total lung (left lobe only) samples were analyzed; three from each timepoint for each genotype (wild type and Scnn1b-transgenic). In our manuscript, we were most interested in changes between WT and Scnn1b-Tg mice, however, the data can also be used to evaluate changes in gene expression across time (PND 0, 3, 10, and 42). We generated the following pairwise comparisons: Scnn1b-Tg vs WT mice for each PND time point; Intra-strain comparison between PND 3, or 10, or 42 vs PND 0.

Project description:The club cell, a small airway epithelial (SAE) secretory cell that uniquely expresses SCGB1A1, plays a central role in host defense in the human lung. Based on data demonstrating that ~50% of club cells express MUC5B, a secretory mucin critical for mucociliary clearance, we hypothesized that subpopulations of club cells with distinct functions may exist. To evaluate this, the SAE of normal nonsmokers and healthy cigarette smokers was sampled by bronchoscopy and brushing followed by single cell sequencing using Drop-seq technology. Subpopulations of SCGCB1A1+KRT5loMUC5AC- club cells were assessed by unsupervised clustering to evaluate club cell subpopulations. Immunostaining of SAE in lung sections, brushed SAE cells, and in vitro air-liquid interface culture was utilized to confirm the transcriptomic-based observations. Unsupervised clustering of SCGCB1A1+KRT5loMUC5AC‾ club cells in the SAE identified 3 unique club cell populations that differed by differentiation state and function, including: (1) progenitor; (2) proliferating; and (3) effector subpopulations. The progenitor club cell population was energetically active with high expression of mitochondrial and ribosomal proteins and the highest KRT5 levels vs other club cell populations. The proliferating population, defined by high expression of cyclins and proliferation markers, was the smallest, representing 2% of club cells. The effector club cell cluster expressed transcripts for host defense genes, xenobiotic metabo-lism, and barrier functions commonly associated with club cell function. Comparison of the club cell subpopulations in smokers vs nonsmokers demonstrated that the proportion of the club cell effector population was significantly decreased in smokers with a concomitant significant in-crease in the proliferating cell population. These observations provide novel insights into both the makeup of human SAE club cell subpopulations and smoking-induced changes in club cell biology.
