Defining lineage potential and fate behavior of precursors during pancreas development

ABSTRACT: Pancreas development involves a coordinated process in which an early phase of cell segregation and patterning is proceeded by a longer phase of lineage restriction, expansion and extensive tissue remodeling. By combining quantitative clonal lineage tracing and whole-mount reconstruction with proliferation kinetics and single-cell transcriptional profiling, we define the functional basis of pancreas morphogenesis. Our results show that the large-scale organization of tissue can be traced to the activity of self-renewing precursors that localize at the termini of growing ductal branches and act collectively to drive serial rounds of stochastic ductal bifurcation balanced by termination. During this process, multipotent precursors give rise to self-renewing acinar-committed precursors, which are conveyed with growing ducts, as well as fate-restricted ductal progenitors that expand the trailing ducts and give rise to delaminating islet precursors. Together, these findings define quantitatively how the functional behavior and lineage progression of heterogeneous pools of the pancreatic precursors that define the organization of the organ.

Benary2021 - tissue dynamics of the hepato-pancreato-biliary organ system

Project description:Single cell-based studies have revealed tremendous cellular heterogeneity in stem cell and progenitor compartments, suggesting continuous differentiation trajectories with intermixing of cells at various states of lineage commitment and notable degree of plasticity during organogenesis. The hepato-pancreato-biliary organ system relies on a small endoderm progenitor compartment that gives rise to a variety of different adult tissues, including liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and extra-hepatic bile ducts. Experimental manipulation of various developmental signals in the mouse embryo underscored important cellular plasticity in this embryonic territory. This is also reflected in the existence of human genetic syndromes as well as congenital or environmentally-caused human malformations featuring multiorgan phenotypes in liver, pancreas and gallbladder. Nevertheless, the precise lineage hierarchy and succession of events leading to the segregation of an endoderm progenitor compartment into hepatic, biliary, and pancreatic structures are not yet established. Here, we combine computational modelling approaches with genetic lineage tracing to assess the tissue dynamics accompanying the ontogeny of the hepato-pancreato-biliary organ system. We show that a multipotent progenitor domain persists at the border between liver and pancreas, even after pancreatic fate is specified, contributing to the formation of several organ derivatives, including the liver. Moreover, using single-cell RNA sequencing we define a specialized niche that possibly supports such extended cell fate plasticity.

The gene expression program of the developing mammary gland

Project description:The developing mammary gland contains distinct microenvironments that perform specialized functions for branching and ductal invasion. These microenvironments include the terminal end buds (TEBs) at the tips of invading primary ducts and the more differentiated proximal ducts that give rise to side branches. We have devised a novel microarray approach to identify genes that are expressed in the epithelium and stroma of these distinct microenvironments. Keywords: spotted oligonucleotide

Bone marrow-derived monocytes give rise to self-renewing and fully differentiated Kupffer cells

Project description:Self-renewing tissue-resident macrophages are thought to be exclusively derived from embryonic progenitors. However, whether circulating monocytes can also give rise to such macrophages has not been formally investigated. Here we use a new model of diphtheria toxin-mediated depletion of liver-resident Kupffer cells to generate niche availability and show that circulating monocytes engrafted in the liver, gradually adopt the transcriptional profile of their depleted counterparts and become long-lived self-renewing cells. Underlining the physiological relevance of our findings, circulating monocytes also contribute to the expanding pool of macrophages in the liver shortly after birth, when macrophage niches become available during normal organ growth. Thus, like embryonic precursors, monocytes can and do give rise to self-renewing tissue-resident macrophages if the niche is available to them.

Human stem cell-derived pancreatic acini-like and duct-like organoids demonstrate lineage-specific differences to oncogene activation

Project description:The exocrine compartment of the pancreas consisting of ducts and acini makes up most of the pancreatic tissue and is the site of origin for pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Our understanding of the initiation and progression of human PDAC is limited because of challenges associated with maintaining acinar cells in culture. Here we report the commitment of human pluripotent stem cells towards pancreatic duct-like and acini-like organoids that express properties of the neonatal exocrine pancreas. The expression of PDAC-oncogenes KRasG12D or GNASR201C induced cell lineage-specific effects where GNASR201C was more effective in ductal compared to acinar organoids. KRasG12D was more effective in modeling cancer in vivo when expressed in acinar cells and was associated with acinar to ductal metaplastic changes in culture and in vivo. Thus we demonstrate lineage tropism and plasticity in the human exocrine pancreas and identify a renewable source of ductal and acinar epithelia for understanding exocrine development and diseases.

A single cell atlas of the murine pancreatic ductal tree identifies novel cell populations with potential implications in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis.

Project description:Pancreatic ducts form an intricate network of tubules that secrete bicarbonate and drive acinar secretions into the duodenum. This network is formed by centroacinar cells, terminal, intercalated, intracalated ducts, and the main pancreatic duct. Ductal heterogeneity at the single-cell level has been poorly characterized. Here, we used scRNA-seq to comprehensively characterize mouse ductal heterogeneity at single-cell resolution of the entire ductal epithelium from centroacinar cells to the main duct. Moreover, we used organoid cultures, injury models and pancreatic tumor samples to interrogate the role of novel ductal populations in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis. In our study, we have identified the coexistence of 15 ductal populations within the healthy pancreas and characterized their organoid formation capacity and endocrine differentiation potential. Cluster isolation and subsequent culturing let us identify ductal cell populations with high organoid formation capacity and endocrine and exocrine differentiation potential in vitro, including Wnt-responsive-population, ciliated-population and FLRT3+ cells. Moreover, we have characterized the location of these novel ductal populations in healthy pancreas, chronic pancreatitis and tumor samples, hightlihgting a putative role of WNT-responsive, IFN-responsive and EMT-populations in pancreatic exocrine pathogenesis as their expression inceases in chronic pancreatitis and PanIN lesions. In light of our discovery of previously unidentified ductal populations, we unmask the potential roles of specific ductal populations in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis.

Single-cell RNA-seq Analysis of Pancreatic and Hepatic Progenitor Cells from Tg(Prox1-EGFP) Transgenic Mouse Embryos

Project description:Formation of the hepato-pancreato-biliary organ system in mammals is a paradigm for organogenesis, whereby a small progenitor population of the ventral foregut gives rise to a multitude of different adult tissues, including liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and extra-hepatic bile ducts. The multipotent ventral foregut cell population undergoes an initial fate segregation into hepatic and pancreato-biliary progenitors in response to signaling cues from surrounding mesodermal tissues. Subsequently, pancreato-biliary progenitors give rise to ventral pancreatic and gallbladder progenitors. In this study, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to molecularly characterize progenitor populations in the ventral foregut that contribute to the formation of hepatic, pancreatic, and biliary organ rudiments throughout organogenesis.

Human Innate Lymphoid Cell Precursors Express CD48 that Modulates ILC Differentiation through 2B4 Signaling

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) develop from common lymphoid progenitors (CLP), which further differentiate into the common ILC progenitor (CILP) that can give rise to both ILCs and NK cells. Murine ILC intermediates have recently been characterized, but the human counterparts and their developmental trajectories have not yet been identified, largely due to the lack of homologous surface receptors in both organisms. Here, we show that human CILPs (CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-) acquire CD48 and CD52, which define NK progenitors (NKPs) and innate lymphoid cell precursors (ILCPs). Two distinct NK cell subsets were generated in vitro from CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-CD48-CD52+ and CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-CD48+CD52+ NKPs, respectively. Independent of NKPs, ILCPs exist in the CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-CD48+CD52+ subset and give rise to ILC1s, ILC2s and NCR+ ILC3s, whereas CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-CD48+CD52- ILCPs give rise to a distinct subset of ILC3s that have lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi)-like properties. Additionally, CD48 expressing CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin- precursors give rise to tissue-associated ILCs in vivo. We also observed that the interaction of 2B4 with CD48 induced differentiation of ILC2s, and together these findings show that expression of CD48 by human ILCPs modulates ILC differentiation.
