Transcriptional and epigenetic landscape of the mouse intestine during aging identifies key molecular drivers of aging -associated dysfunctions and diseases [Total RNA-seq - crypts]

ABSTRACT: Aging is a complex multifactorial process leading to the loss of tissue/organ functionality and to an increase in disease risk. Aging-related intestinal dysfunctions include loss of barrier integrity, altered stress responses, nutrient malabsorption, and cancer formation. Many molecular mechanisms related to dysfunction and diseases are well-known (e.g. in cancer), however how aging impact on them before the occurrence of dysfunctions and diseases is poorly understood. In this study, we applied a multi-layered omics-approach to characterize the transcriptional and the epigenetic landscape of mouse intestinal epithelium during aging. We found gender and cell-type specific transcriptional and epigenetic alterations on key pathways and genes linked to intestinal dysfunctions, stem cell aging, organismal lifespan and cancer. Moreover, we identified a switch in the composition of the old intestinal stem cell subpopulations, represented by a drift towards a more secretory lineage committed (and less stem) state accompanied by functional epigenetic alterations.

In vitro grown organoids treated with IFNγ mimicking in vivo intestinal crypts cells aging

Project description:Aging-related intestinal dysfunctions include loss of barrier integrity, altered stress responses, nutrient malabsorption, and cancer formation. Influence of aging on intestinal stem cell (ISC) and their niches can explain underlying causes for perturbation in ISC function during aging. However, molecular mechanisms for such decrease in functionality of ISCs during aging remain largely undetermined. Using different transcriptome-wide approaches including single-cell RNA-seq from intestinal crypt cells and immune cells of lamina propria, we characterized age-specific transcriptional programs in the intestinal epithelium. We found that aged ISCs strongly upregulate antigen presenting pathway genes and over-express secretory lineage marker genes leading to a compromised homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium. Mechanistically, increase of interferon gamma (IFNgamma) release by cytotoxic CD4 T cells and innate lymphoid type 2 cells (ILC2) in lamina propria of aged intestine lead to induction of Stat1 in ISCs that trigger MHC class II expression and prime them towards a secretory fate. Altogether these findings, clarify the cross talk between immune cells and ISC in aged intestine and identified the IFNgamma-Stat1-MHCII axis as the key gene network driving intestinal inflammaging phenotype and loss of tissue homeostasis. Our data provide basic and complementary knowledge for the development of therapeutic intervention for aging-related intestinal dysfunction and diseases.

Region-specific proteome changes of the intestinal epithelium during aging and dietary restriction

Project description:The small intestine is responsible for nutrient absorption and it is one of the most important interfaces between the environment and our body. During aging, changes in the structure of the epithelium lead to food malabsorption and reduced barrier function thus increasing disease risk in aging. The molecular drivers of these alterations remain poorly understood. Here, we compared the proteomes of small intestinal crypts from mice across different anatomical regions and age groups. We found that aging alters epithelial immune responses, metabolic networks and stem cell proliferation, and it is accompanied by a region-dependent skewing in the cellular composition of the intestinal epithelium. Of note, a short period of dietary restriction followed by re-feeding partially restores the epithelium to a youthful state by promoting the differentiation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) towards the secretory lineage. Using in vitro and in vivo studies, we identify Hmgcs2 (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthetase 2) – the rate limiting enzyme in the synthesis of ketone bodies – as a modulator of ISCs differentiation, which responds to dietary changes. This study provides an atlas of age-dependent proteome changes in defined regions of the intestinal epithelium and characterizes how young and old mice adapt to drastic changes of diet, such as dietary restriction and re-feeding.

Atlas of the aging mouse intestine

Project description:Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of death within the western world and is linked to the aging of the colon. The disease presents differently between men and women, developing in different parts of the colon and often with a different morphology. The colonic epithelium is a rapidly renewing tissue, tasked with absorption of water and nutrients, interacting with a wide array of intestinal microbes. The gut-associated lymphoid tissue houses the majority of all immune cells. These immune cells interact with and help regulate the activity of epithelial cells. However, not much is known whether compartment-specific changes occur during aging and how said changes could impact the epithelium. Here we show that both epithelial and immune cells differ significantly between colonic compartments and experience age-related changes, with the possible causal interactions. We found a shift in the absorptive-secretory cell balance, the decrease in colonocytes possibly linked to age-associated malabsorption and intestinal disturbances. We demonstrate marked changes in the aging of the immune cells with regard to populations and interactions with epithelial cells, linking aged immune cell produced cytokines (Ifn-γ, Il1B) and the aging of colonic epithelium, which lines up with observations of inflammation causing or exacerbating age-associated gut disfunctions, such as colon cancer. Our results provide new insights into the normal and age-associated states of the colon. We anticipate our work will provide a foundation for further inquiry not only into diseases of the colon (even outside the realm of aging research) but developmental research as well.

DNA methylation analysis validates organoids as a viable model for studying human intestinal aging (expression)

Project description:The epithelia of the intestine and colon turn over rapidly and are maintained by adult stem cells at the base of crypts. While the small intestine and colon have distinct, well-characterized physiological functions, it remains unclear if there are fundamental regional differences in stem cell behavior or region-dependent degenerative changes during aging. Mesenchyme-free organoids provide useful tools for investigating intestinal stem cell biology in vitro and have started to be utilized for investigating age-related changes in stem cell function. However, it is unknown whether organoids maintain hallmarks of age in the absence of an aging niche. Here we test whether stem cell enriched organoids preserve the DNA methylation-based aging profiles associated with the tissues and crypts from which they were derived. To address this, we use standard human methylation arrays and the human 'epigenetic clock' as a biomarker of age to analyze in vitro derived three-dimensional stem cell-enriched intestinal organoids. We find that human stem cell-enriched spheroids maintain segmental differences in methylation patterns and that age, as measured by the epigenetic clock, is largely maintained in spheroids. Surprisingly, we find that small intestine spheroids exhibit striking epigenetic age reduction relative to colon spheroids.

Telomeric epigenetic response mediated by Gadd45a regulates stem cell aging and lifespan

Project description:Progressive attrition of telomeres triggers DNA damage response (DDR) and limits the regenerative capacity of adult stem cells during mammalian aging. Intriguingly, the telomere integrity is not only determined by telomere length but also by epigenetic status of telomeric/sub-telomeric regions. However, the functional interplay between telomere shortening-induced DDR and epigenetic modification in aging is unknown. Here we show that deletion of Gadd45a improves the maintenance and function of intestinal stem cells (ISCs), and prolongs lifespan of late generation of telomerase deficient mice (G3Terc-/-). Mechanistically, Gadd45a facilitates the generation of a permissive chromatin status for DDR signaling transduction through the demethylating of CpG islands specifically at sub-telomeric regions of short telomeres. Deletion of Gadd45a restores the heterochromatin compaction in the sub-telomeric regions and thereby ameliorating the DDR initiation at short telomeres of G3Terc-/- ISCs. Treatment with a small molecule inhibitor of BER alleviates DDR and improves the maintenance and function of G3Terc-/- ISCs. Taken together, our study discloses a potential therapeutic approach to enhance stem cell function and prolong lifespan by targeting epigenetic modulating molecules.
