Abstract

Gasdermin (GSDM) family, the key executioners of pyroptosis, play crucial roles in anti-pathogen and anti-tumor immunities, although little is known about the expression of GSDM in lung diseases at single-cell resolution, especially in lung epithelial cells. We comprehensively investigated the transcriptomic profiles of GSDM members in various lung tissues from healthy subjects or patients with different lung diseases at single cell level, e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), or systemic sclerosis (SSC). The expression of GSDM members varied among pulmonary cell types (immune cells, structural cells, and especially epithelial cells) and even across lung diseases. Regarding disease-associated specificities, we found that GSDMC or GSDMD altered significantly in ciliated epithelia of COPD or LUAD, GSDMD in mucous, club, and basal cells of LUAD and GSDMC in mucous epithelia of para-tumor tissue, as compared with the corresponding epithelia of other diseases. The phenomic specificity of GSDM in lung cancer subtypes was noticed by comparing with 15 non-pulmonary cancers and para-cancer samples. GSDM family gene expression changes were also observed in different lung epithelial cell lines (e.g., HBE, A549, H1299, SPC-1, or H460) in responses to external challenges, including lipopolysaccharide (LPS), lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC), cigarette smoking extract (CSE), cholesterol, and AR2 inhibitor at various doses or durations. GSDMA is rarely expressed in those cell lines, while GSDMB and GSDMC are significantly upregulated in human lung epithelia. Our data indicated that the heterogeneity of GSDM member expression exists at different cells, pathologic conditions, challenges, probably dependent upon cell biological phenomes, functions, and behaviors, upon cellular responses to external changes, and the nature and severity of lung disease. Thus, the deep exploration of GSDM phenomes may provide new insights into understanding the single-cell roles in the tissue, regulatory roles of the GSDM family in the pathogenesis, and potential values of biomarker identification and development.

摘要

Gasdermin (GSDM) 家族是细胞焦亡的关键执行者,在抗病原体和抗肿瘤免疫中发挥着重要作用,尽管人们对单细胞分辨率下肺部疾病中 GSDM 的表达知之甚少,尤其是在肺上皮细胞中。我们全面研究了健康受试者或不同肺部疾病患者的各种肺组织中单细胞水平的 GSDM 成员的转录组谱,例如慢性阻塞性肺疾病 (COPD)、特发性肺纤维化 (IPF)、肺腺癌 (LUAD) 或系统性硬化症 (SSC)。GSDM 成员在肺细胞类型(免疫细胞、结构细胞,特别是上皮细胞)中的表达存在差异,甚至在肺部疾病之间也存在差异。关于与疾病相关的特异性,我们发现 GSDMC 或 GSDMD 在 COPD 或 LUAD 的纤毛上皮中显著改变,GSDMD 在 LUAD 的粘液、棒状和基底细胞中改变,GSDMC 在肿瘤旁组织的粘液上皮中改变,与其他疾病相应的上皮相比。通过与 15 种非肺部癌症和癌旁样本比较,注意到了肺肿瘤亚型中 GSDM 的表型特异性。还观察到 GSDM 家族基因表达在外源刺激(包括脂多糖 (LPS)、溶血磷脂酰胆碱 (lysoPC)、香烟烟雾提取物 (CSE)、胆固醇和 AR2 抑制剂)下不同肺上皮细胞系(例如 HBE、A549、H1299、SPC-1 或 H460)中的变化,包括不同剂量或时间的 LPS、lysoPC、香烟烟雾提取物 (CSE)、胆固醇和 AR2 抑制剂。在这些细胞系中,GSDMA 的表达很少,而 GSDMB 和 GSDMC 在人肺上皮细胞中显著上调。我们的数据表明,GSDM 成员在不同细胞、病理条件、刺激下的表达存在异质性,可能取决于细胞生物学表型、功能和行为,以及细胞对外界变化的反应以及肺部疾病的性质和严重程度。因此,深入探索 GSDM 表型可能为理解组织中的单细胞作用、GSDM 家族在发病机制中的调节作用以及生物标志物识别和开发的潜在价值提供新的见解。
