Abstrakt: | Emphysema, the progressive destruction of gas exchange surfaces in the lungs, is a hallmark of COPD that is presently incurable. This therapeutic gap is largely due to a poor understanding of potential drivers of impaired tissue regeneration, such as abnormal lung epithelial progenitor cells, including alveolar type II (ATII) and airway club cells. We discovered an emphysema-specific subpopulation of ATII cells located in enlarged distal alveolar sacs, termed asATII cells. Single-cell RNA sequencing and in situ localisation revealed that asATII cells co-express the alveolar marker surfactant protein C and the club cell marker secretaglobin-3A2 (SCGB3A2). A similar ATII subpopulation derived from club cells was also identified in mouse COPD models using lineage labelling. Human and mouse ATII subpopulations formed 80-90% fewer alveolar organoids than healthy controls, indicating reduced progenitor function. Targeting asATII cells or their progenitor club cells could reveal novel COPD treatment strategies. Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: C.M.
