摘要
Abstract We recently showed that intravenous infusion of mouse or human, fetal or adult lung cells following conditioning of recipient mice leads to lung chimerism within alveolar and bronchiolar lineages, in distinct ’patches’ containing both epithelial and endothelial cells. We show here, using R26R-Confetti mice as donors, that these multi-lineage patches are derived from a single lung progenitor. FACS of adult mouse lung cells revealed that the putative patch-forming progenitors co-express the endothelial marker CD31 (PECAM-1) and the epithelial marker CD326 (EPCAM). Transplantation of lung cells from transgenic Cre/lox mice expressing nuclear GFP under the VEcad promoter (VEcad-Cre-nTnG), led to GFP+ patches comprising both GFP+ endothelial and epithelial cells in vivo, and in ex-vivo culture of CD326+CD31+ progenitors. Single cell RNA sequencing of CD326+CD31+ lung cells revealed a subpopulation expressing canonical epithelial and endothelial genes. Such double positive GFP+NKX2.1+SOX17+ cells were also detected by immunohistological staining in lungs of VEcad-Cre-nTnG (expressing nuclear GFP) mice in proximity to blood vessels. These findings provide new insights on lung progenitors and lung development and suggest a potential novel approach for lung regeneration. Summary We show in the present study, that multi-lineage regenerative patches in our transplantation model are derived from a single lung progenitor, co-expressing the endothelial marker CD31 and the epithelial marker CD326. These findings provide new insights on lung progenitors and lung development.
