Title Single-Cell Sequencing Revealed The Heterogeneity of ALI Model and Epithelial Cell Alternations After Exposure to Electronic Cigarette Vapour
Relevance Medical
Data types Single cell sequencing
Organisms Homo sapiens
Description Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) were advertised as a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes. However, the exact effects of e-cigarettes on the bronchial epithelium are poorly understood. Air-liquid interface (ALI) culture enable human primary bronchial epithelial cells to differentiate into bronchial epithelium (ALI-HBE) and provides an in vitro model that simulate the biological characteristics of normal bronchial epithelium. In the current study, ALI-HBEs were used to reveal previously unrecognized transcriptional heterogeneity within the human bronchial epithelium and cell type-specific effects upon acute expoure to e-cigarette vapour (e-vapour) containing distinc components (nicotine and/or flavoring) by single-cell sequencing. Specifically, acute e-vapour exposure containing nicotine affected gene expression related to secretory function and basal to secretory transformation. In addition, acute e-vapour exposure containing flavoring might contribute to the virus infection susceptibility and activate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Taken together, heterogeneity and transcriptional characteristic of human bronchial epithelium were mirrored by the in vitro ALI-HBE model. Single-cell sequencing data provided high-resolution insights into the e-vapour-induced remodeling of bronchial epithelium. The data may also help to discover potential SARS-CoV-2 entry factors and therapeautic targets for restoring normal function of bronchial epithelium upon e-cigarette used.
