Project description:The pulmonary alveolar epithelium mainly composed of two types of epithelial cells: alveolar type I (AT1) and type II (AT2) cells. AT2 cells are the alveolar stem cells, and can differentiate into AT1 cells post-pneumonectomy (PNX). Here, we found that, compared with control mice (Sftpc-CreER; Cdc42flox/+; Rosa26-mTmG) at post-PNX day 21, Cdc42 AT2 null mice (Sftpc-CreER; Cdc42flox/-; Rosa26-mTmG) at post-PNX day 21 undergone fibrotic change. By using 10X genomics “Chromium Single Cell” technology, we performed single-cell RNA-seq analyses of AT2 cells of sham treated control mice (C0), AT2 cells of control mice at post PNX day 21 (C21) , AT2 cells of sham treated Cdc42 AT2 null mice (N0), and AT2 cells of Cdc42 AT2 null mice at post PNX day 21 (N21). The study identified a specific gene signature in AT2 cells of Cdc42 AT2 null mice at post PNX day 21 which is related to the fibrosis phenotype of Cdc42 AT2 null mice.

Project description:Hypercapnia has deleterious effects on cell function, including inhibition of alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) and fibroblast proliferation without causing cell death. Classical studies and lineage-trace models demonstrated that surfactant-producing AT2 cells can serve as stem cells for the structurally and functionally distinct alveolar type 1 cells (AT1) This AT2 reprogramming depends on Wnt/βcat signaling, a pathway that plays critical roles in tissue development and homeostasis throughout the organism lifespan. We found that high CO2 inhibits AT2 cell proliferation and self renewal, and promote their differentiation to ATEC and AT1 cells

Project description:Premature birth disrupts normal lung development and places infants at risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a disease increasing in incidence which disrupts lung health throughout the lifespan. The TGFβ superfamily has been implicated in BPD pathogenesis, however, what cell lineage it impacts remains unclear. We show that the primary TGFβ receptor, Tgfbr2, is critical for AT1 cell fate maintenance and function. Loss of Tgfbr2 in AT1 cells during late lung development leads to AT1-AT2 cell reprogramming and altered pulmonary architecture, which persists into adulthood. Restriction of fetal lung stretch and associated AT1 cell spreading through a model of oligohydramnios enhances AT1-AT2 reprogramming. Transcriptomic and proteomic analysis reveal that expression of extracellular matrix components by AT1 cells is attenuated with loss of Tgfbr2. Cell spreading assays shows that TGFβ signaling regulates integrin transcription to alter AT1 cell morphology, which further impacts ECM expression through changes in mechanotransduction. These data reveal the cell intrinsic necessity of TGFβ signaling to maintain AT1 fate and define this cell lineage as a major orchestrator of the alveolar matrisome, which, if altered, may predispose to BPD.

Project description:Gliomas are aggressive primary brain tumors, presenting surgery limitations due to their highly infiltrative potential. The expression of Angiotensin II (Ang II) receptors in human astrocytomas was previously associated with a poor prognosis. Accordingly, this study was undertaken to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying Ang II actions in gliomas through the transcriptomic analysis of glioma cells exposed to Ang II. C6 glioma cells were treated with Ang II and specific antagonists of AT1 and AT2. Total RNA was isolated at three and six hours intervals and submitted to oligonucleotide microarray protocol. The differentially expressed genes were obtained by paired t-tests with p<0.05 and interpreted using Venn diagrams, functional enrichment and protein interaction network analyses. Validation of microarray results was carried out through qPCR experiments of selected genes. We found a high number of significant genes with low fold changes in gene expression at the time intervals studied. These genes were regulated in a time dependent-manner, with most gene expression changes being exclusive to one of the time intervals evaluated. Our results indicated that blocking AT1 or AT2 changed the expression of genes involved in regulation of transcription, cell cycle, cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, cell adhesion, cell migration, regulation of actin cytoskeleton, protein transport and protein ubiquitination. Additionally, the signaling pathways over-represented by the significant genes were ErbB, mTOR, MAPK, neurotrophin, insulin and Wnt. Finally, interactome analyses revealed hub genes associated with cell proliferation, survival, migration, transport, structural support, neurotrophin pathway, MAPK signaling and Wnt signaling. Taken together, our findings implicate Ang II-transcriptional regulation in glioma progression by means of the modulation of genes participating in protumoral functions. This transcriptome pattern is observed upon Ang II activation of either AT1 or AT2 receptors, thereby highlighting the relevance of both receptor subtypes in glioma progression. Interactome analyses disclosed hub genes regulated by Ang II which may present higher control over their networks. These genes participate in biological functions that could enhance the degree of malignancy in gliomas and thus should be further explored. C6 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 Units/ml penicillin and 100 M-BM-5g/ml streptomycin. Cells were seeded in cell culture dishes and incubated at 37M-BM-0C/ 5% CO2 until becoming confluent. Then, these cells were pre-treated (30 minutes) with either AT1 receptor antagonist (Losartan: 10-5M) or AT2 receptor antagonist (PD123319: 10-5M) followed by Ang II treatment (10-7 M) according to the treatment scheme: Group 1 M-bM-^@M-^S control; Group 2 M-bM-^@M-^S cells only treated with Ang II; Group 3 M-bM-^@M-^S cells pre-treated (30 minutes) with Losartan and then treated with Ang II; Group 4 M-bM-^@M-^S cells pre-treated (30 minutes) with PD123319 and then treated with Ang II. To identify which genes were significantly differentially expressed, paired t-tests (p<0.05) were performed in the following comparisons: Ang II x Control (3h); Ang II x Control (6h); Ang II +Los x Ang II (3h); Ang II +Los x Ang II (6h); Ang II +PD123319 x Ang II (3h); Ang II +PD123319 x Ang II (6h).

Project description:Alveoli are thin-walled sacs that serve as the gas exchange units of the lung. They are affected in devastating lung diseases including COPD, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, and the major form (adenocarcinoma) of lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer deaths. The alveolar epithelium is composed of two morphologically distinct cell types: alveolar type (AT) 1 cells, exquisitely thin cells across which oxygen diffuses to reach the blood, and AT2 cells, specialized surfactant-secreting cells. Classical studies suggested that AT1 cells arise from AT2 cells during development and following injury, but more recent studies suggest other sources. Here we use histological and marker analysis, lineage tracing, and clonal analysis in mice to identify alveolar progenitor and stem cells and map their locations and potential in vivo. The results show that AT1 and AT2 cells arise independently during development from a bipotential progenitor. After birth, new AT1 cells derive from rare, long-lived, self-renewing AT2 cells, each producing a slowly expanding clonal focus of regenerated alveoli contiguous with the founder AT2 cell. This stem cell function of AT2 cells is broadly activated by diffuse AT1 cell injury, and AT2 self-renewal can be induced in vitro by EGF ligands and permanently activated in vivo by AT2 cell-specific targeting of the oncogenic KrasG12D allele, efficiently transforming AT2 cells into monoclonal adenomatous tumors that rapidly enlarge and prove fatal. Thus, there is a developmental switch in alveolar progenitor cells after birth, when mature AT2 cells function as facultative stem cells that contribute to local alveolar renewal, repair, and cancer. We propose that short-range signals from dying AT1 cells regulate AT2 stem cell activity: a signal transduced by EGFR-KRAS controls AT2 self-renewal and is hijacked during oncogenic transformation, and a separate signal controls reprogramming to AT1 cell fate. To compare expression between ATII and E18 BP populations, RNA was isolated from either population purified by FACS. Two populations are analyzed with 3 biological replicates per population.
