Project description:Prostate cancer treatment resistance is a significant challenge facing the field. Genomic and transcriptomic profiling have partially elucidated the mechanisms through which cancer cells escape treatment, but their relation toward the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains elusive. Here we present a comprehensive transcriptomic landscape of the prostate TME at multiple points in the standard treatment timeline employing single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics data from 120 patients. We identify club-like cells as a key epithelial cell subtype that acts as an interface between the prostate and the immune system. Tissue areas enriched with club-like cells have depleted androgen signaling and upregulated expression of luminal progenitor cell markers. Club-like cells display a senescence-associated secretory phenotype and their presence is linked to increased polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cell (PMN-MDSC) activity. Our results indicate that club-like cells are associated with myeloid inflammation previously linked to androgen deprivation therapy resistance, providing a rationale for their therapeutic targeting.

Project description:Gene expression patterns of bronchiolar progenitors and club cells in mouse lung were examined by microarray experiments. Although it has not yet been fully characterized, a subset of epithelial cells lining bronchioles are best understood as bronchiolar progenitors that self-renew over the long term and that can differentiate into more differentiated club cells and ciliated cells. The bronchiolar progenitors are distinct from club cells and characteristically express the alveolar type 2 cell marker, prosurfactant protein C, with lower levels of club cell secretory protein/Scgb1a1. There are also functional differences between them; while club cells can be depleted by naphthalene because of the abundance of cytochrome P450 enzyme Cyp2f2, bronchiolar progenitors are resistant to naphthalene-induced depletion because of defects in the enzyme.

Project description:Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is one of the deadliest malignancies worldwide. Dynamic lineage changes within the lung epithelium and the high plasticity of these epithelial cells confound the correct identification of the cell-of-origin of LUAD. Here, we combined lineage-tracing mouse models with an autochthonous cell type-independent LUAD model in order to discover the cellular origin of ALK-translocated LUAD. We identified Club and AT2 cells as the cells-of-origin of LUAD. Moreover, we uncovered epigenetic imprints in the tumours originating from Club or AT2 cells by whole-genome bisulfite sequencing. Single-cell transcriptomes of Club cells at different stages of tumour development identified two trajectories of Club cell evolution. On both routes, tumours lose their Club cell identity and gain an AT2-like phenotype. Together, this study highlights the role of Club cells in LUAD initiation and unveils key mechanisms conferring LUAD heterogeneity.

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.

Project description:Rationale: The role of club cells in the pathology of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis IPF is not well understood. PDIA3, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) based redox chaperone catalyzes the cysteine disulfide bonds (-S-S-) in various fibrosis-related proteins; however, mechanisms of action of PDIA3 in pulmonary fibrosis is not fully elucidated. Objectives: To examine the role of club cells and PDIA3 in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and therapeutic potential of inhibition of PDIA3 in PF. Methods: The impact of PDIA3 and aberrant club cells in PF was studied by retrospective analysis of human transcriptome data from LGRC, and specific deletion and inhibition of PDIA3 in club cells and blocking Osteopontin (SPP1) downstream of PDIA3 in mice. Measurements and Main Results: The PDIA3 along with club cell secretory protein (SCGB1A1 or CCSP) signatures are upregulated in IPF compared to control patients, and PDIA3 increases correlate with a decrease in lung function in IPF patients. The Bleomycin (BLM) model of PF showed increases in aberrant CCSP and PDIA3 positive cells in the lung parenchyma. Ablation of Pdia3, specifically in CCSP cells, decreases CCSP cells along with PF in mice. The therapeutic administration of a PDI inhibitor LOC14 reversed the BLM-induced CCSP cells and PF in mice. The proteomic screen of the PDIA3 partners revealed SPP1 as a major interactor in PF. Blocking SPP1 attenuated the development of PF in mice. Conclusions: Collectively, this study demonstrates a new relationship of club cells, with PDIA3, SPP1, and a putative pathological function of club cells in pulmonary fibrosis.

Project description:Background and objective: The role of bronchiolar epithelial cells in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis has not been addressed. We previously demonstrated that DNA damage was found in bronchiole at early phase, and subsequently extended to alveolar cells at later phase in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Club cells are progenitor cells for bronchiole, and are recognized to play protective roles against lung inflammation and damage. The aim of the study was to elucidate the role of club cells in the development of pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: C57BL/6J mice were received naphthalene intraperitoneally at day -2 to deplete club cells, and were given intratracheal bleomycin or vehicle at day 0. Lung tissues were obtained at day 1, 7, and 14, and bronchoalveolar lavage was performed at day 14. Gene expression was analysed from bronchiolar ephithelial cells sampled by laser captured microdissection at day 14. Results: Surprisingly, naphthalene-induced club cell depletion protected mice from bleomycin-induced lung injury and fibrosis. We conclude that club cells are involved in the development of lung injury and fibrosis.

Project description:To identify key genes that define surface airway epithelial (SAE) basal cells, we FACS isolated basal, ciliated, and club cell populations as previously reported (Zhao et al., 2014; PMID: 25043474) and performed microarray analysis on isolated mRNA. For fractionating SAE into basal, club, and ciliated populations, cells were stained with EpCAM-PECy7 (eBiosciences), GSIβ4-FITC (Sigma), SSEA1-Alexa Fluor® 647 (BioLegend), and CD24-PE (BD Pharmingen) for 30 minutes on ice as previously described (Zhao et al., 2014), prior to FACS. Basal cells were considered EpCAM+ and GSIβ4+. Secretory cells were considered EpCAM+ and SSEA1+. Ciliated cells were considered EpCAM+, GSIβ4- and CD24+. Primary SAE cells were harvested from C57BL/6 mice and sorted into basal, ciliated, and club cell populations for the purpose of identifying enrichment of transcripts specific to each cell type population.

Project description:ATGL= the rate-limiting enzyme for intracellular lipolysis. Atgl KO/cTg = Mice lacking Atgl except for cardiac transgenic overexpression of Atgl (Atgl -/- ,Myh6Atgl+/+) to rescue early age death deu to cardiomyopathy. wt/cTg = respective control. The airways of the lung are constantly exposed to inhaled toxic substances, resulting in cellular damage. Within bronchii, club cells make up majority of the cell population in the terminal bronchiolar epithelia. Club cells are known for their ability to metabolize environmental toxins and constantly repairing small impacts in the epithelial layer. Considering the importance of club cells in maintaining bronchiolar epithelial integrity, we porformed gene expression data analysis to decipher the possible dysregulated gene expression thereby corresponding molecular pathways in our mice lacking ATGL.

Project description:Club (“Clara”) cells, dome shaped cells with disease cytoplasmic granules and microvilli, are the major secretory cell of the human small (>6 generation) airways. Little is known regarding the biology of club cells in the human airway, nor of the ontogeny of this cell type. Taking advantage of the SCGB1A1 as the marker for club cells and our ability to sample the normal small airway epithelium by bronchoscopy and brushing healthy volunteers, we defined the transcriptome of the normal human airway club cell using single cell transcriptome sequencing. Analysis of the human small airway epithelial single cell transcriptome together with in vitro validation provides novel insights into the molecular phenotype and biological functions of the human club cell population and identifies the basal cell as the human progenitor cells for club cells.
