Project description:To assess the role of LSD1 in human intestinal epithelium, human small intestinal organoids were treated with an inhibitor for LSD1 (GSK-LSD1) and compared to untreated organoids. The organoids were grown with specific conditions where Paneth cells are present in the organoids as similar experiments in mice show that Paneth cells disappear upon GSK-LSD1 treatment. Similar to mouse intestinal organoids, Paneth cells dissappear upon GSK-LSD1 treatment. Furthermore, we used these gene set enrichment analysis on these microarray data to show that these human intestinal organoids have a similar phenotype as mice epithelium without LSD1.
Project description:Stomach and intestinal adult epithelia harbor stem cells that are responsible for their continuous regeneration. Stomach and intestinal stem cells differ in their differentiation program and in the gene repertoire that they express. We show that single adult Lgr5-positive stem cells, isolated from 3D cultured small intestinal organoids, require Cdx2 to maintain their intestinal identity and are converted cell-autonomously into stomach-pyloric stem cells in the absence of this transcription factor. In order to obtain Cdx2null intestinal stem cells carrying the Lgr5-EGFP marker, 5-6 days old small intestinal organoids generated from Cdx2-/fl/Lgr5-EGFP-Ires-CreERT2 mice were incubated with 1 µM of 4-hydroxytamoxifen in intestinal culture medium for 16h to activate the Cre recombinase. Controls were 4-hydroxytamoxifen-untreated small intestinal (Control SI) and stomach (Control Sto) organoids issued from mice with the same genotype. The organoids were dissociated and sorted for EGFPhi. Cdx2null, Control SI and Control Sto clonal organoids were generated and expanded from Lgr5-EGFPhi single cells in stomach specific culture medium (ENRWfg) and RNA was isolated for RNA-Seq analysis. Cdx2+ Stomach (Sto) organoids were generated by infection of the wild type stomach organoids with lentiviral stock expressing Cdx2. They were cultured in stomach medium (ENRWfg) and RNA was isolated for RNA-Seq analysis
Project description:The endodermal lining of the adult gastro-intestinal tract harbors stem cells that are responsible for the day-to-day regeneration of the epithelium. Stem cells residing in the pyloric glands of the stomach and in the small intestinal crypts differ in their differentiation program and in the gene repertoire that they express. Both types of stem cells have been shown to grow from single cells into 3D structures (organoids) in vitro. We show that single adult Lgr5-positive stem cells, isolated from small intestinal organoids, require Cdx2 to maintain their intestinal identity and are converted cell-autonomously into pyloric stem cells in the absence of this transcription factor. Clonal descendants of Cdx2null small intestinal stem cells enter the gastric differentiation program instead of producing intestinal derivatives. Conversely, forced expression of Cdx2 in gastric organoids results in their intestinalization. The intestinal genetic program is thus critically dependent on the single transcription factor encoding gene Cdx2. Small intestinal crypts and stomach glands were isolated from Cdx2-/fl / Lgr5-EGFP-CreERT2 mice and cultured for a week in order to generate small intestinal (SI) and stomach (Sto) in vitro organoids. The Lgr5-CreERT2 enzyme activity has been induced by overnight 4-hydroxytamoxifen induction. Tamoxifen treated and untreated Lgr5-EGFPhi SI and Sto stem cells were FACS sorted and seeded back into ENRWfg (Sto med) culture conditions in order to generate Cdx2-/fl small intestinal (Control SI), Cdx2null small intestinal (Cdx2null SI) and Cdx2-/fl stomach (Control Sto) clonal organoids. Cdx2-/fl SI organoids and Cdx2-/fl Sto organoids have been also cultured in ENR (SI med) to induce differentiation. After some passages of clonal organoid expansion, RNA was isolated from Control SI, Cdx2null SI and Control Sto Lgr5-EGFPhi FACS sorted stem cell populations and from smal intestinal and stomach organoids cultured in different conditions and hybridized on Affymetrix Mouse Gene ST 1.1 arrays.
Project description:This dataset represent the RNA-seq, which was done on untreated small intestinal organoids; small intestinal organoids treated with chemotherapeutic, busulfan; untreated small intestinal organoids co-cultured wth mesenchymak stromal/stem cells (MSCs; busulfan treated small intestinal organoids co-cultured with MSCs. The same set of samples was done for 3 different primary bone marrow MSC donors.
Project description:To study the effects of rifaximin on human small intestinal (hSI) organoids, we performed RNAseq in PXR knockdown hSI compared to control hSI.
Project description:To assess the role of LSD1 in mice small intestinal epithelium, small intestinal organoids were treated with an inhibitor for LSD1 (GSK-LSD1) and compared to untreated organoids. Similar to intestinal epithelium from mice with an intestinal epithelium specific LSD1-KO, paneth cells dissappear upon GSK-LSD1 treatment. We used these sequencing data to show that these small intestinal organoids have a similar phenotype as mice epithelium without LSD1.
Project description:This dataset consists of RNA-sequencing of intestinal organoids at rest and after stimulation with the TLR5 ligand flagellin for 4 hours. The goal of this study was to understand the differential patterns of gene expression induced upon stimulation with a TLR ligand in small intestine organoids, colon organoids, and organoids that had been skewed to generate a higher proportion of Paneth cells.
Project description:Human intestinal epithelial organoids (IEO) culture models are rapidly emerging as novel experimental tools to investigate fundamental aspects of intestinal epithelial (patho)physiology. Cellular source and culture protocols vary between different IEO models and reliable markers for their characterization/validation are currently limited. Here, we provide the following reference datasets of transcriptomic profiling by RNA-sequencing: Purified intestinal epithelial cells (EpCAM+) from paediatric ileum and colon, Intestinal organoid cultures from paediatric ileum and colon, Purified intestinal epithelial cells (EpCAM+) from foetal small intestine and foetal large intestine, Intestinal organoid cultures from foetal small intestine and foetal large intestine, Intestinal organoid cultures derived from induced pluripotent stem cells.<br> Complementary data from methylation profiling on the same samples have been deposited at ArrayExpress under accession number E-MTAB-4957 ( https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-4957 ).</br>
