Cellprofiler based immunofluorescence quantification strategy.
(A) Images were only compared when they had been immunostained in parallel, imaged on the same microscope with the same exposure settings, and not been processed or scaled post image acquisition. (B) Individual tumors were traced in NIH imageJ. (C) Color images were split in to component channels in NIH imageJ. (D) CellProfiler was used to identify tumor nuclei based on NKX2-1 staining when done, or based on DAPI. (E) Cells were identified based on propagation from nuclear objects. (F) Cytoplasm was defined as Cell objects minus nuclei. (G) Measurements taken always used median fluorescent intensity with no outlier removal. Data were imported and graphed using a custom R script in RStudio. (H) Statistical detail of comparisons done with a custom R script in RStudio.

Expression levels and localization of lung lineage survival transcription factors are maintained in BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R driven tumors, Including those cells which have lost expression of markers of AT2 identity.
(A) BRAFV600E driven hyperplasia and tumors display widespread expression of both SFTPA and nuclear localization of the lung lineage transcription factor, NKX2-1, at 2 and 12 weeks post initiation. Scale bar = 10 um. (B) BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R driven hyperplasia and tumors show decreased SFTPA expression at 2 and 12 weeks post initiation. These tumors maintain broad nuclear expression of NKX2-1, including those cells with decreased SFTPA expression (yellow arrowheads). (C) Quantitation showing no significant difference in NKX2-1 immunoreactivity at 2 weeks post initiation, but a slight increase in nuclear NKX2-1 at 12 weeks post initiation. Wilcoxon rank sum p values = 0.2,. 02 respectively. (D) Significant reduction of SFTPA immunoreactivity seen in BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R driven hyperplasia and tumors at both 2 and 12 weeks post initiation.

Expression levels and localization of lung lineage survival transcription factors are maintained in BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R and KRASG12D/PI3KαH1047R Driven Tumors, including those cells which have lost expression of markers of AT2 identity.
(A) Tumor cells with decreased SFTPA maintain expression and nuclear localization of the lung lineage transcription factor, FOXA1. Scale bars = 10 um. (B) Tumor cells with decreased SFTPA maintain expression and nuclear localization of the lung lineage transcription factor, FOXA2. (C) Tumor cells with decreased SFTPA maintain phosphorylation of the lung lineage transcription factor, NKX2-1. (D) Expression of SFTPA and NKX2.1 are maintained in KRASG12D driven tumors, 16 weeks post initiation. (E) Activation of PI3K in KRASG12D driven tumors causes a decrease of SFTPA immunoreactivity not apparently associated with a decrease in NKX2-1 immunostaining. (F) No significant difference in NKX2-1 immunoreactivity upon PI3K activation in KRASG12D driven tumors. (G) Significant reduction in cytoplasmic staining of SFTPA upon PI3K activation in KRASG12D driven tumors. Wilcoxon rank sum p=0.0354. (H) Modest association between immunoreactivity of SFTPA and NKX2-1 in KRASG12D driven tumors (Spearman Rho = 0.256).

BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R and BRAFV600E driven tumors both show effects on differentiation status, with BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R driven tumors displaying more profound effects on identity.
(A) BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R and BRAFV600E driven hyperplasia both show immunoreactivity of the AT1 marker, AQP5, 2 weeks post initiation with BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R driven hyperplasia showing enhanced immunostaining. BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R and BRAFV600E driven tumors also show immunoreactivity of AQP5 12 weeks post initiation with BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R driven tumors showing a more variable pattern of immunostaining. Scale bars = 100 um. (B) Quantitation demonstrating significant effect of PI3KαH1047R on AQP5 immunoreactivity in BRAFV600E driven tumors 2 weeks post initiation. No difference seen in AQP5 immunoreactivity between BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R and BRAFV600E driven tumors 12 weeks post initiation. This appears to be the result of a slight increase in AQP5 immunoreactivity between 2 and 12 weeks in BRAFV600E driven tumors and a more dramatic decrease in AQP5 immunoreactivity between 2 and 12 weeks in BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R driven tumors. ANOVA p<1e-5, multiple comparisons done by Tukey’s Honest Significant Difference test, ****: p<1 e −5, **p=0.0014. (C) BRAFV600E driven tumors display widespread immunoreactivity to both AQP5 and the AT2 marker, LYZ, 12 weeks post initiation. BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R driven tumors show cells with widely varied expression of differentiation markers, including AQP5+, LYZ+ (Cyan arrows); AQP5-, LYZ+ (Red arrows); AQP5+, LYZ- (Green arrows); and AQP5-, LYZ- (Yellow arrows) cells. Scale bars = 100 um. (D) BRAFV600E driven tumors show relatively high association between AQP5 and LYZ immunoreactivity (Rho = 0.54). (E) BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R driven tumors show relatively low association between AQP5 and LYZ immunoreactivity (Rho = 0.13) (F) Overlay of BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R and BRAFV600E driven tumors 12 weeks post initiation. Dashed line for each marker drawn at mean - one standard deviation of BRAFV600E driven tumors. BRAFV600E/PI3KαH1047R driven tumors show fewer AQP5+, LYZ + cells, most strongly accounted for by an increase in AQP5+, LYZ- cells, but with increases also seen in AQP5-, LYZ + and AQP5-, LYZ- cells. Chi square test associates genotype with distribution, p val <1e-5.

BRAFV600E-driven lung tumors show characteristics of bipotent progenitor cells.
(A) Electron micrograph showing a normal AT2 cell in the lung epithelium. Cyan structures are surfactant rich lamellar bodies, red structure is nucleus, green structures are mitochondria. Scale bar = 2 um. (B) Electron micrograph showing an abnormal AT2 cell in a BRAFV600E driven tumor harboring a large vacuole (purple). Scale bar = 2 um. (C) Enhanced magnification of vacuole showing rough electron dense pattern characteristic of glycogen storage. Scale bar = 500 nm. (D) Human lung adenocarcinomas harboring mutations in either PIK3CA, PTEN, or AKT show a significant reduction in PPARGC1A transcript levels when compared to tumors not shown to be harboring any of these three mutations (p=0.0295 by unpaired t-test with Welch’s correction). (E) 5 kb promoter regions of AT2 specific genes show enrichment of novel DNA motifs. The most significantly enriched of these motifs (E,1) is represented in 71 of 99 promoters scanned and significantly matches the known motif of NR5A2. (F) Alignment of the consensus binding motif for NR5A2 with the novel conserved motifs found in E,1 and E,4.

Loss of PGC1α Expression Correlates With Change in Expression of Lung Markers.
(A) Hypothetical model showing an additional factor cooperating with lung lineage transcription factors that is downregulated upon dual arm mutational activation of growth factor signaling. (B) Weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) heat map identifies 21 correlated gene expression modules. Gene tree shows relationship of individual genes, where multi-color bars adjacent to heat map identify individual clusters. (C) Table summarizing result of WGCNA analysis and AT1/AT2 memberships. Cluster number is listed adjacent to color corresponding to cluster in (B). For each cluster, shown is the total number of genes along with the number of AT1 and AT2 marker genes from AT1-100 and AT2-100. Cluster two contains the majority of both AT1 and AT2 marker genes. (D) A three factor approach to identify novel regulators of pneumocyte identity. Within the intersection of differentially expressed genes, genes co-regulated with the majority of AT1 and AT2 specific genes, and known transcription factors, lies a single gene, PGC1α. (E) PGC1α is significantly downregulated in BRAFV600E/PI3Kα H1047R driven tumors compared to BRAFV600E driven tumors; adjP is Benjamini-Hochberg corrected P value from DESeq2. (F) Decreased nuclear PGC1α immunoreactivity (red arrows) correlates with loss of AT2 identity on a cell by cell basis. AT2 identity is maintained in those cells which maintain nuclear PGC1α immunoreactivity (green arrows).

Mutations predicted to affect the PI3' lipid signaling pathway correlate with decreased PPARGC1A in human lung adenocarcinoma.
(A) PI3' pathway signaling is predicted to be activated by mutations inPIK3CA,PTEN, andAKT1. Segregating human lung adenocarcinoma by presence (PIK3mut) or absence (PIK3wt) of any of these mutations, shows that predicted PI3' lipid pathway activation correlates with decreased Ppargc1a transcript levels.
