Project description:A hallmark of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other interstitial lung diseases is dysregulated repair of the alveolar epithelium. The Hippo pathway effector transcription factors YAP and TAZ are implicated as essential for type 1 and type 2 alveolar epithelial cell (AT1 and AT2) differentiation in the developing lung, yet aberrant activation of YAP/TAZ is a prominent feature of the dysregulated alveolar epithelium in IPF. In these studies, we sought to define the functional role of YAP/TAZ activity during alveolar regeneration. We demonstrated that Yap and Taz are normally activated in AT2 cells shortly after injury, and deletion of Yap/Taz in AT2 cells led to pathologic alveolar remodeling, failure of AT2 to AT1 cell differentiation, increased collagen deposition, exaggerated neutrophilic inflammation, and increased mortality following injury induced by a single dose of bleomycin. Loss of Yap/Taz activity prior to a LPS injury prevented AT1 cell regeneration, led to intra-alveolar collagen deposition, and resulted in persistent innate inflammation. Together these findings established that AT2 cell Yap/Taz activity is essential for functional alveolar epithelial repair and prevention of fibrotic remodeling.

Project description:Proper lung function relies on precisely balanced numbers of specialized epithelial cell types that work together and are maintained in homeostasis. We describe essential roles for the transcriptional regulators Yap and Taz, which are key effectors of Hippo pathway signaling, in maintaining lung epithelial homeostasis. We report that conditional deletion of Yap1/Yap and Wwtr1/Taz in the lung epithelium of adult mice results in severe defects with consequent animal lethality. Phenotypes associated with Yap/Taz deletion include alveolar defects and a striking development of goblet cell metaplasia throughout the airways. We performed gene expression analysis of wild type and Yap/Taz null primary mouse airway epithelial cells in order to define Yap/Taz controlled gene expression.

Project description:Proper lung function relies on precisely balanced numbers of specialized epithelial cell types that work together and are maintained in homeostasis. In this study we have described essential roles for the transcriptional regulators YAP and TAZ, which are key effectors of Hippo pathway signaling, in maintaining lung epithelial homeostasis. Phenotypes associated with Yap/Taz deletion include alveolar defects and a striking development of goblet cell metaplasia throughout the airways. Lineage specific deletion of Yap and Taz in Scgb1a1+ cells leads to increased Mucin production within the knockout cells in vivo. In order better characterize the in vivo transcriptional changes associated with Yap/Taz knockout in these cells, we have isolated Scgb1a1 lineage traced cells from control and yap/taz cNull mice and performed bulk RNA sequencing.

In this study we have described essential roles for the transcriptional regulators YAP and TAZ, which are key effectors of Hippo pathway signaling, in maintaining lung epithelial homeostasis. Phenotypes associated with Yap/Taz deletion include alveolar defects and a striking development of goblet cell metaplasia throughout the airways. Knockdown of YAP and TAZ in HBECs similarly drives mucin expression. The TEAD family of transcription factors are well characterized partners of the YAP/TAZ transcriptional effectors, and we have found that knockdown of TEAD1-4 similarly drives elevated mucin expression. In order to further understand the role of the TEAD transcription factors in human lung epithelial cell fate, we conducted TEAD Chromatin Immunopreciptitation (ChIP)-Sequencing.

Project description:To define the role of Yap/Taz in alveolar epithelial regeneration, we deleted Yap/Taz in mouse lung Spc-expressing ATII cells by using Spc-CreERT2, Yap fl/fl, Taz fl/fl, R26R-mTmG mice. This data set contains the microarrays examining gene expression in the lineage-labeled Spc-expressing ATII cells before and after Streptococcus pneumoniae infection.

Project description:Background and aims: The Hippo pathway and its downstream effectors YAP and TAZ (YAP/TAZ) are heralded as important regulators of organ growth and regeneration. However, different studies provided contradictory conclusions about their role during regeneration of different organs ranging from promoting proliferation to inhibiting it. Here, we resolve the function of YAP/TAZ during regeneration of the liver, where Hippo’s role in growth control has been studied most intensely. Methods: We evaluated liver regeneration after CCl4 toxic liver injury in mice with conditional deletion of Yap/Taz in hepatocytes and/or biliary epithelial cells and measured the behavior of different cell types during regeneration by histology, RNA-sequencing and flow cytometry. Results: We found that YAP/TAZ were activated in hepatocytes in response to CCl4 toxic injury. However, their targeted deletion in adult hepatocytes did not noticeably impair liver regeneration. In contrast, Yap/Taz deletion in adult bile ducts caused severe defects and delay in liver regeneration. Mechanistically, we show that Yap/Taz mutant bile ducts degenerated, causing cholestasis which stalled the recruitment of phagocytic macrophages and the removal of cellular corpses from injury sites. Elevated bile acids activated PXR, which was sufficient to recapitulate the phenotype observed in mutant mice. Conclusions: Our data show that YAP/TAZ are practically dispensable in hepatocytes for liver development and regeneration. Rather, YAP/TAZ play an indirect role in liver regeneration by preserving bile duct integrity and securing immune cell recruitment and function.

Project description:During bacterial pneumonia, alveolar epithelial cells are critical for maintaining gas exchange and providing antimicrobial as well as pro-immune properties. We previously demonstrated that leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), an IL-6 family cytokine, is produced by type II alveolar epithelial cells (ATII) and is critical for tissue protection during bacterial pneumonia. However, the target cells and mechanisms of LIF-mediated protection remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that antibody-induced LIF blockade remodels the lung epithelial transcriptome in association with increased apoptosis. Based on these data, we performed pneumonia studies using a novel mouse model in which LIFR (the unique receptor for LIF) is absent in lung epithelium. While LIFR was detected on the surface of epithelial cells, its absence only minimally contributed to tissue protection during pneumonia. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) was conducted to identify adult murine lung cell types most prominently expressing LIFR, revealing endothelial cells, mesenchymal cells, and ATIIs as major sources of LIFR. Sequencing data indicated that ATII cells were significantly impacted as a result of pneumonia, with additional differences observed in response to LIF neutralization, including but not limited to gene programs related to cell death, injury, and inflammation. Overall, our data suggest that LIF signaling on epithelial cells alters responses in this cell type during pneumonia. However, our results also suggest separate and perhaps more prominent roles of LIFR in other cell types, such as endothelial cells or mesenchymal cells, which provide grounds for future investigation.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently garnered attention for their participation in host-microbe interactions in Streptococcus pneumoniae infections. However, the effect of pEVs on the disruption of alveolar epithelial barrier remain poorly understood. Our studies focus on EVs produced by Streptococcus pneumoniae (pEVs), and reveal that pEVs are internalized by alveolar epithelial cells. In vitro, pEVs induce autophagy activation in a dosage-dependent manner and decrease the alveolar epithelial barrier’s trans-epithelium electrical resistance (TEER). In addition, pEV-containing bacterial peotein serine/threonine-protein kinase StkP may act as an activator for Streptococcus pneumoniae-induced autophagy activation. When administered systemically in mice, Streptococcus pneumoniae wild type strain induced acute lung injury, the deletion of stkP deletion strain attenuated this injury. Taken together, pEVs cargos emerge as critical contributors to tissue damage in mammalian hosts.
