A primary colonic crypt model enriched in enteroendocrine cells facilitates a peptidomic survey of regulated hormone secretion.

ABSTRACT: To enable the first physiologically relevant peptidomic survey of gastrointestinal tissue, we have developed a primary mouse colonic crypt model enriched for enteroendocrine L-cells. The cells in this model were phenotypically profiled using PCR-based techniques and showed peptide hormone and secretory and processing marker expression at mRNA levels that were increased relative to the parent tissue. Co-localization of glucagon-like peptide-1 and peptide YY, a characteristic feature of L-cells, was demonstrated by double label immunocytochemistry. The L-cells displayed regulated hormone secretion in response to physiological and pharmacological stimuli as measured by immunoassay. Using a high resolution mass spectrometry-based platform, more than 50 endogenous peptides (<16 kDa), including all known major hormones, were identified a priori. The influence of culture conditions on peptide relative abundance and post-translational modification was characterized. The relative abundance of secreted peptides in the presence/absence of the stimulant forskolin was measured by label-free quantification. All peptides exhibiting a statistically significant increase in relative concentration in the culture media were derived from prohormones, consistent with a cAMP-coupled response. The only peptides that exhibited a statistically significant decrease in secretion on forskolin stimulation were derived from annexin A1 and calcyclin. Biophysical interactions between annexin A1 and calcyclin have been reported very recently and may have functional consequences. This work represents the first step in characterizing physiologically relevant peptidomic secretion of gastrointestinally derived primary cells and will aid in elucidating new endocrine function.

Project description:Background & aimsThe intestinal stem cell niche is exquisitely sensitive to changes in diet, with high-fat diet, caloric restriction, and fasting resulting in altered crypt metabolism and intestinal stem cell function. Unlike cells on the villus, cells in the crypt are not immediately exposed to the dynamically changing contents of the lumen. We hypothesized that enteroendocrine cells (EECs), which sense environmental cues and in response release hormones and metabolites, are essential for relaying the luminal and nutritional status of the animal to cells deep in the crypt.MethodsWe used the tamoxifen-inducible VillinCreERT2 mouse model to deplete EECs (Neurog3fl/fl) from adult intestinal epithelium and we generated human intestinal organoids from wild-type and NEUROGENIN 3 (NEUROG3)-null human pluripotent stem cells. We used indirect calorimetry, 1H-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) metabolomics, mitochondrial live imaging, and the Seahorse bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies) to assess metabolism. Intestinal stem cell activity was measured by proliferation and enteroid-forming capacity. Transcriptional changes were assessed using 10x Genomics single-cell sequencing.ResultsLoss of EECs resulted in increased energy expenditure in mice, an abundance of active mitochondria, and a shift of crypt metabolism to fatty acid oxidation. Crypts from mouse and human intestinal organoids lacking EECs displayed increased intestinal stem cell activity and failed to activate phosphorylation of downstream target S6 kinase ribosomal protein, a marker for activity of the master metabolic regulator mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). These phenotypes were similar to those observed when control mice were deprived of nutrients.ConclusionsEECs are essential regulators of crypt metabolism. Depletion of EECs recapitulated a fasting metabolic phenotype despite normal levels of ingested nutrients. These data suggest that EECs are required to relay nutritional information to the stem cell niche and are essential regulators of intestinal metabolism.

Project description:BackgroundGut L-type enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are intestinal chemosensory cells that secrete satiety hormones GLP-1 and PYY in response to activation of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) by luminal components of nutrient digestion and microbial fermentation. Regulator of G-protein Signaling (RGS) proteins are negative regulators of GPCR signaling. The expression profile of RGS in EECs, and their potential role in satiety hormone secretion and obesity is unknown.MethodsTranscriptomic profiling of RGS was completed in native colonic EECs was completed using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) in lean and obesity, and human jejunal EECs with data obtained from a publicly available RNAseq dataset (GSE114853). RGS validation studies were completed using whole mucosal intestinal tissue obtained during endoscopy in 61 patients (n = 42 OB, n = 19 Lean); a subset of patients' postprandial plasma was assayed for GLP-1 and PYY. Ex vivo human intestinal cultures and in vitro NCI-H716 cells overexpressing RGS9 were exposed to GLP-1 secretagogues in conjunction with a nonselective RGS-inhibitor and assayed for GLP-1 secretion.FindingsTranscriptomic profiling of colonic and jejunal enteroendocrine cells revealed a unique RGS expression profile in EECs, and further within GLP-1+ L-type EECs. In obesity the RGS expression profile was altered in colonic EECs. Human gut RGS9 expression correlated positively with BMI and negatively with postprandial GLP-1 and PYY. RGS inhibition in human intestinal cultures increased GLP-1 release from EECs ex vivo. NCI-H716 cells overexpressing RGS9 displayed defective nutrient-stimulated GLP-1 secretion.InterpretationThis study introduces the expression profile of RGS in human EECs, alterations in obesity, and suggests a role for RGS proteins as modulators of GLP-1 and PYY secretion from intestinal EECs.FundingAA is supported by the NIH(C-Sig P30DK84567, K23 DK114460), a Pilot Award from the Mayo Clinic Center for Biomedical Discovery, and a Translational Product Development Fund from The Mayo Clinic Center for Clinical and Translational Science Office of Translational Practice in partnership with the University of Minnesota Clinical and Translational Science Institute.
