Project description:Many important cell types in adult vertebrates have a mesenchymal origin, including fibroblasts and vascular mural cells (pericytes and smooth muscle cells). Although their biological importance is undisputed, the level of mesenchymal cell heterogeneity within and between organs, while appreciated, has not been analysed in detail. Here, we compare single-cell transcriptional profiles of fibroblasts and vascular mural cells across four murine muscular organs: heart, skeletal muscle, intestine and bladder. We reveal gene expression signatures that demarcate fibroblasts from mural cells across these four as well as other organs and provide molecular signatures for cell subtype identification. Striking inter- and intra-organ heterogeneity and specialization were observed amongst the fibroblasts, primarily reflecting differences in the expression of extracellular matrix components. In comparison, mural cells appeared more homogenous. Fibroblast subtypes localize to discrete anatomical positions in all four organs, offering novel predictions about physiological function(s) and regulatory signalling circuits. Our data shed new light on the diversity and relationships between hitherto poorly defined classes of cells and provide a foundation for improved understanding of their roles in physiological and pathological processes.

Project description:Therapeutic angiogenesis represents a promising avenue to revascularize the ischemic heart. Its limited success is partly due to our poor understanding of the cardiac stroma, specifically mural cells, and their response to ischemic injury. Here, we combine single-cell and positional transcriptomics to assess the behaviour of mural cells within the healing heart. In response to myocardial infarction, mural cells adopt an altered state closely associated with the infarct and retain a distinct lineage from fibroblasts. This response is concurrent with vascular rarefaction and reduced coverage by mural cells. Positional transcriptomics reveal that the infarcted heart is governed by regional-dependent and temporally regulated programs. While the remote zone acts as an important source of pro-angiogenic signals, the infarct zone is accentuated by chronic activation of anti-angiogenic, pro-fibrotic, and inflammatory cues. Together, our work unveils the spatiotemporal programs underlying cardiac repair and establishes an association between vascular deterioration and mural cell dysfunction.

Project description:Follicular somatic cells (mural granulosa cells and cumulus cells) and the oocyte communicate through paracrine interactions and through direct gap junctions between oocyte and cumulus cells. Considering that mural and cumulus cells arise through a common developmental pathway and that their differentiation is essential to reproductive success, understanding how these cells differ is a key aspect to understanding their critical functions. Changes in global gene expression before and after an ovulatory stimulus were compared between cumulus and mural granulosa cells to test the hypothesis that mural and cumulus cells are highly differentiated at the time of an ovulatory stimulus and further differentiate during the periovulatory interval. The transcriptomes of the two cell types were markedly different (>1500 genes) before an ovulatory hCG bolus but converged after ovulation to become completely overlapping. The predominant transition was for the cumulus cells to become more like mural cells after hCG. This indicates that the differentiated phenotype of the cumulus cell is not stable and irreversibly established but may rather be an ongoing physiological response to the oocyte. We compared transcriptomes of mural granulosa cells isolated from the follicles before (PM-GC) and after (VVM-GC) an ovulatory stimulus. These data were analyzed with previously published cumulus cells data to compare transitions in granulosa cell state before and after an ovulatory stimulus with transitions in cumulus cells.

Project description:Transcriptomes of mouse mural granulosa cells were sequenced to identify transcripts expressed in mural granulosa cells of ovaries. Moreover, transcriptomes of cumulus cells were compared between those of young (2 month-old) and old mice (10 month-old) to assess the effects of ageing on cumulus cells. In addition, transcriptomes of cumulus-oocyte complexes were compared between DBA/2 and (C57BL/6 x DBA/2)F1 mice to assess the strain differences.

Project description:In the study we show that a specific peripheral glial population, derived from boundary cap (BC) cells, constitutes a major source of mural cells for the developing vasculature. Using Cre-based reporter cell tracing and single cell transcriptomics, we show that BC cell derivatives migrate along the nerves and differentiate into pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells in the skin. The switch from glial to mural molecular identity is initiated while the cells are still associated with nerves To further characterize this transition glial to vascular identity, we performed single cell transcriptomic analyses (scRNA-seq) on FACS-purified traced cells from dissociated E12.5 skin. Tomato-positive cells were isolated by FACS from embryonic skin at E12.5. Around 10,000 cells were loaded into one channel of the Chromium system using the V3 single cell reagent kit (10X Genomics) We analyzed 2527 single cell transcriptomes with a mean number of expressed genes per cell of 4,696. This study highlights the plasticity of BC derivatives and uncovers a novel, nerve-derived origin for skin mural cells.
