View SamplesTo ask whether MANF contributes to the rejuvenating effects of heterochronic parabiosis, we generated heterochronic pairs in which 20 month old WT mice were combined with either 4 month old MANFHet (O-YgHet) or WT (O-YgWT) littermates, and maintained for 5 weeks before analysis. Control pairs in which old WT mice were combined together (O-O) were used. Livers were collected from each animal in the pair and RNA was sequenced for 5 independent animals/condition. Overall design: RNA was extracted and sequenced for 5 animals/condition
MANF regulates metabolic and immune homeostasis in ageing and protects against liver damage.

View SamplesIn the nervous system, neural stem cells (NSC) are necessary for the generation of new neurons and for cognitive function. Here we show that FoxO3, a member of a transcription factor family known to extend lifespan in invertebrates, regulates the NSC pool. We find that adult FoxO3-/- mice have fewer NSC in vivo than wild type counterparts. NSC isolated from adult FoxO3-/- mice have decreased self-renewal and an impaired ability to generate different neural lineages. Identification of the FoxO3-dependent gene expression profile in NSC suggests that FoxO3 regulates the NSC pool by inducing a program of genes that preserves quiescence, prevents premature differentiation, and controls oxygen metabolism. The ability of FoxO3 to prevent the premature depletion of NSC might have important implications for counteracting brain aging in long-lived species.

View SamplesAirways conduct gases to the lung and are disease sites of asthma and cystic fibrosis. Here we study the cellular composition and hierarchy of the mouse tracheal epithelium by single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and in vivo lineage tracing. We identify a rare cell type, the Foxi1+ pulmonary ionocyte; functional variations in club cells by proximodistal location; a distinct cell type in high turnover squamous epithelial structures that we term ''hillocks''; and disease-relevant subsets of tuft and goblet cells. We developed ''pulse-seq'' , combining scRNA-seq and lineage tracing, to show that tuft, neuroendocrine and ionocyte cells are continually and directly replenished by basal progenitor cells. Ionocytes are the major source of transcripts of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator in both mouse (Cftr) and human (CFTR). Knockout of Foxi1 in mouse ionocytes causes loss of Cftr expression and disrupts airway fluid and mucus physiology, phenotypes that characterize cystic fibrosis. By associating cell-type-specific expression programs with key disease genes, we establish a new cellular narrative for airways disease. Overall design: To understand normal tissue homeostasis, untreated cells were profiled using both 3''-droplet-based and full length plate-based single-cell RNAseq, in combination with genetic reporter-based lineage tracing.
A revised airway epithelial hierarchy includes CFTR-expressing ionocytes.
