Abstract

While the acquisition of cellular plasticity in adult stem cells is essential for rapid regeneration after tissue injury, little is known about the underlying mechanisms governing this process. Our data reveal the coordination of airway progenitor differentiation plasticity by inflammatory signals during alveolar regeneration. Following damage, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) signalling-dependent modulation of Jag1 and Jag2 expression in ciliated cells results in the inhibition of Notch signalling in secretory cells, which drives the reprogramming and acquisition of differentiation plasticity. We identify the transcription factor Fosl2 (also known as Fra2) for secretory cell fate conversion to alveolar type 2 cells that retain the distinct genetic and epigenetic signatures of secretory lineages. We also reveal that human secretory cells positive for KDR (also known as FLK-1) display a conserved capacity to generate alveolar type 2 cells via Notch inhibition. Our results demonstrate the functional role of an IL-1β–Notch–Fosl2 axis in the fate decision of secretory cells during injury repair, proposing a potential therapeutic target for human lung alveolar regeneration.
