Project description:Fibroblasts hold pivotal roles in tissue homeostasis and disease progression. However, a systematic study addressing the functional heterogeneity of fibroblasts, their dynamic shifts along disease progression, as well as their impact to tumor immune microenvironment is currently lacking. Here, we performed integrated analyses on fibroblasts spanning multiple tissues and disease conditions, especially cancer. Our study provides novel insights into fibroblast cell heterogeneity and highlights the potential clinical utilities of fibroblast cell subsets as therapeutic targets.

Project description:Pericryptal myofibroblasts in the colon and rectum play an important role in regulating the normal colorectal stem cell niche and facilitating tumour progression. Myofibroblasts have previously mostly been distinguished from normal fibroblasts only by the expression of α smooth muscle actin (αSMA). We now identify AOC3, a surface monoamine oxidase, as a new marker of myofibroblasts by showing that it is the target protein of the myofibroblast reacting monoclonal antibody (mAb), PR2D3. The normal and tumour tissue distribution and the cell line reactivity of AOC3 match that expected for myofibroblasts. We have shown that the surface expression of AOC3 is sensitive to digestion by trypsin and collagenase and that anti-AOC3 antibodies can be used for FACS sorting of myofibroblasts obtained by non-enzymatic procedures. Whole genome microarray mRNA expression profiles of myofibroblasts and skin fibroblasts revealed four additional genes that are significantly expressed differentially between these two cell types; NKX2-3 and LRRC17 are expressed in myofibroblasts and SHOX2 and TBX5 in skin fibroblasts. Transforming Growth Factor β (TGFβ) substantially down-regulated AOC3 expression in myofibroblasts but not in skin fibroblasts, in which it dramatically increased the expression of αSMA. A knockdown of NKX2-3 in myofibroblasts caused a decrease of myofibroblast-related gene expression and an increased expression of the fibroblast associated gene, SHOX2, suggesting that NKX2-3 is a key mediator for maintaining myofibroblast characteristics. Our results show that colorectal myofibroblasts, as defined by the expression of AOC3, NKX2-3 and other markers, are a distinctly different cell type from TGFβ activated fibroblasts. colorectal myofibroblast specific markers and expression profiles were sought by comparing four primary myofibroblast cultures to a panel of four dermal and foreskin fibroblast cell lines Four primary myofibroblast cultures established from adult human colon compared to four skin fibroblast cell lines to identify intestinal myofibroblast specific markers

Project description:Skin and lung fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is driven by myofibroblasts, alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) expressing cells that produce matrix as well as increase tension on surrounding tissues. Myofibroblast progenitors have been described to arise from a variety of cell types in murine fibrosis models, but relatively modest insight is available as to their source and differentiation in fibrotic human diseases. We utilize single cell RNA-sequencing to examine the transcriptome changes that occur in fibroblasts in SSc skin and during myofibroblast differentiation. We show that dermal myofibroblasts arise from an SFRP2/DPP4-expressing progenitor fibroblast population. In SSc skin, fibroblasts undergo global changes in gene expression, including SFRP2-expressing fibroblasts, which globally upregulate expression of markers, such as PRSS23 and THBS1. However, only a fraction of SSc fibroblasts differentiate into myofibroblasts, as shown by expression of additional markers, such as SFRP4 and FNDC1. These results indicate that myofibroblasts derive from a specific fibroblast subpopulation in SSc skin, that their differentiation proceeds in two stages and that other fibroblast populations also shift transcriptomes in SSc skin, suggesting a cytokine driven process. The myofibroblast transcriptome implicates upstream transcription factors that should help further unravel the drivers of myofibroblast differentiation.

Project description:We reported the application of next generation sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of miRNA expression in human primary lung fibroblast Cells with undifferentiated (fibroblast) or differentiated (myofibroblast) status. By comparation the expression aboundence of known miRNAs between undifferentiated and differentiated type human primary lung fibroblast cells, we found both upregulated and downregulated miRNAs in fibroblast cells during differentiation. This study provides a basic condition for further investigation of the roles of the regulated miRNAs during differentiation in fibroblast cells.
