ABSTRACTMuscle stem cells hold a great therapeutic potential in regenerating damaged muscles. However, the in vivo behavior of muscle stem cells during muscle growth and regeneration is still poorly understood. Using zebrafish as a model, we describe the in vivo dynamics and function of dermomyotome cells, a population of embryonic muscle progenitor cells. Dermomyotome cells are located in a superficial layer external to muscle fibers and express many extracellular matrix (ECM) genes including col1a2. Utilizing a new col1a2 transgenic line, we show that dermomyotome cells display a ramified morphology with dynamic cellular processes. Cell lineage tracing demonstrates that col1a2+ dermomyotome cells contribute to normal muscle growth as well as muscle injury repair. Combination of live imaging and single cell clonal analysis reveals a highly-choreographed process of muscle regeneration. Activated dermomyotome cells change from the quiescent ramified morphology to a polarized and elongated morphology and generate daughter cells that fuse with existing muscle fibers. Ablation of the dermomyotome severely compromises muscle injury repair. Our work provides a dynamic view of embryonic muscle progenitor cells during zebrafish muscle regeneration.Summary statementLive imaging and single cell clonal analysis reveal dynamic behaviors of zebrafish embryonic muscle progenitor cells in quiescence and activation.

AbstractWhereas the critical roles of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in adult are increasingly appreciated, their developmental hierarchy in early human fetus remains largely elusive. In this study, we sorted human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, lymphoid progenitors, putative ILC progenitor/precursors and mature ILCs in the fetal hematopoietic, lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues, from 8 to 12 post-conception weeks, for single-cell RNA-sequencing, followed by computational analysis and functional validation at bulk and single-cell levels. We delineated the early phase of ILC lineage commitment from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, which mainly occurred in fetal liver and intestine. We further unveiled interleukin-3 receptor as a surface marker for the lymphoid progenitors in fetal liver with T, B, ILC and myeloid potentials, while IL-3RA– lymphoid progenitors were predominantly B-lineage committed. Notably, we determined the heterogeneity and tissue distribution of each ILC subpopulation, revealing the proliferating characteristics shared by the precursors of each ILC subtype. Additionally, a novel unconventional ILC2 subpopulation (CRTH2– CCR9+ ILC2) was identified in fetal thymus. Taken together, our study illuminates the precise cellular and molecular features underlying the stepwise formation of human fetal ILC hierarchy with remarkable spatiotemporal heterogeneity.

A subset of adult cardiac resident cells defined by the stem cell factor tyrosine kinase receptor termed c-kit, are believed to have myogenic potential and are now being delivered via intracoronary infusion to presumably promote cardiac regeneration and improve ventricular function after ischemic cardiac injury. However, recent studies have shown that despite these benefits, c-kit+ progenitor cells in the adult murine heart are more inclined to take on an endothelial rather than cardiomyocyte lineage. To better define the factors involved in early differentiation of these resident cardiac progenitor cells and to distinguish distinct cell subpopulations, we performed single cell RNA sequencing on c-kit+ cells from Kit-Cre lineage traced GFP reporter mice versus total mesenchymal cells from the heart that were CD31- and CD45-. Cells were isolated by cardiac digestion and FACS was performed, positively sorting for the c-kit+ lineage while negatively sorting for CD31 and CD45 to eliminate endothelial and leukocyte progenitor contamination, respectively. Following this isolation, cells were examined to determine GFP reporter status and then submitted for single cell RNA sequencing using the Fluidigm A1 system. Clustering of 654 genes from this data identified 6 distinct subpopulations indicating various stages of early differentiation among CD31- and CD45-negative cardiac interstitial cells. Furthermore, comparison of GFP+ c-kit cells to the total non-GFP mesenchymal cells identified 75 differentially expressed transcripts. These unique gene signatures may help parse the genes that underlie cellular plasticity in the heart and define the best molecular lineages for transdifferentiation into cardiac myocytes.

Recent advances in single-cell, transcriptomic profiling have provided unprecedented access to investigate cell heterogeneity during tissue and organ development. In this study, we used massively parallel, single-cell RNA sequencing to define cell heterogeneity within the zebrafish kidney marrow, constructing a comprehensive molecular atlas of definitive hematopoiesis and functionally distinct renal cells found in adult zebrafish. Because our method analyzed blood and kidney cells in an unbiased manner, our approach was useful in characterizing immune-cell deficiencies within DNA–protein kinase catalytic subunit (prkdc), interleukin-2 receptor γ a (il2rga), and double-homozygous–mutant fish, identifying blood cell losses in T, B, and natural killer cells within specific genetic mutants. Our analysis also uncovered novel cell types, including two classes of natural killer immune cells, classically defined and erythroid-primed hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, mucin-secreting kidney cells, and kidney stem/progenitor cells. In total, our work provides the first, comprehensive, single-cell, transcriptomic analysis of kidney and marrow cells in the adult zebrafish.
