IκBα deficiency imposes a fetal phenotype to intestinal stem cells

ABSTRACT: The intestinal epithelium is a paradigm of adult tissue in constant regeneration that is supported by intestinal stem cells (ISCs). The mechanisms regulating ISC homeostasis after injury are poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that IκBa, not only controls NF-κB activation, but also exerts nuclear functions as cytokine sensor in a subset of PRC2-regulated genes. We now uncover nuclear phosphorylated IκBa (P-IκBa) in the ISC compartment where it binds highly histone methylated genomic regions. Mice deficient for IκBa show aberrant distribution of H3K27me3 mark, and altered intestinal differentiation with persistence of a fetal-like ISC signature. In vitro, IκBa deficient intestinal cells produced morphologically aberrant organoids carrying a PRC2, Notch and IFN-dependent fetal-like transcriptional signature. Induction of the fetal-like phenotype by DSS treatment is associated with loss of nuclear P-IκBa in the damaged colonic epithelium and it subsequent accumulation in early CD44 positive regenerating areas. Importantly, IκBa deficient animals showed higher resistance to damage, likely due to persistent fetal-like phenotype. These results point out intestinal IκBa as chromatin sensor of inflammation in the ISC compartment.

STAT1 regulates immune-mediated intestinal stem cell proliferation and epithelial regeneration

Project description:The role of the immune system in regulating tissue stem cells remains poorly understood, as does the relationship between immune-mediated tissue damage and regeneration. Graft vs. host disease (GVHD) occurring after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) involves immune-mediated damage to the intestinal epithelium and its stem cell compartment. To assess impacts of T-cell-driven injury on distinct epithelial constituents, we performed single cell RNA sequencing on intestinal crypts following experimental BMT. Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) from GVHD mice exhibited global transcriptomic changes associated with a substantial Interferon-γ response and upregulation of STAT1. To determine its role in crypt function, STAT1 was deleted within murine intestinal epithelium. Following allo-BMT, STAT1 deficiency resulted in reduced epithelial proliferation and impaired ISC recovery. Similarly, epithelial Interferon-γ receptor deletion also attenuated proliferation and ISC recovery post-transplant. Investigating the mechanistic basis underlying this epithelial response, ISC STAT1 expression in GVHD was found to correlate with upregulation of ISC c-Myc. Furthermore, activated T cells stimulated Interferon-γ- dependent epithelial regeneration in co-cultured organoids, and Interferon-γ directly induced STAT1-dependent c-Myc expression and ISC proliferation. These findings illustrate immunologic regulation of a core tissue stem cell program after damage and support a role for Interferon-γ as a direct contributor to epithelial regeneration.

Sox4 regulates proliferation, differentiation, and DNA methylation patterns in the intestinal epithelium

Project description:Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are responsible for maintaining the physiological function of the intestinal epithelium through the production of differentiated absorptive and secretory cellular lineages. In addition to producing specialized functional cells, ISCs must also drive constant proliferation in order to maintain the especially high rate of cellular turnover in the intestinal epithelium, which undergoes near total renewal every 5-7 days. Understanding the transcriptional mechanisms that control how ISCs and transit-amplifying progenitors (TAs) balance differentiation and proliferation in the intestine may provide valuable insight into common pathologies, such as inflammatory bowel disease and cancer. Here, we show that the Sry¬¬-box containing transcription factor, Sox4, is involved in the regulation of proliferation in the ISC/TA zone, the expression of ISC-associated genes, and the differentiation of enteroendocrine (EE) cells. Interestingly, we also observed a significant reduction in the expression of the methylcytosine dioxygenase, Tet1, in Sox4-deficient intestines. We find that Tet1, which initiates derepression of target genes via DNA demethylation, is specifically upregulated in ISC populations in wild-type animals. Additionally, Sox4-deficient intestines showed a significant reduction in levels of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, the catalytic byproduct of TET protein activity, in the ISC/TA zone. Together, our data demonstrate that Sox4 regulates differentiation and proliferation in the intestinal epithelium, and suggests that it may influence these processes through induction of Tet1 and subsequent derepression of target genes through epigenetic mechanisms.

Ribosome impairment regulates intestinal stem cell identity via ZAKa activation.

Project description:The small intestine is a rapidly proliferating organ that is maintained by a small population of Lgr5-expressing intestinal stem cells (ISCs). However, several Lgr5-negative ISC populations have been identified, and this remarkable plasticity allows the intestine to rapidly respond to both the local environment and to damage. The mediators of such plasticity are still largely unknown. Using intestinal organoids and mouse models, we show that upon ribosome impairment (driven by Rptor deletion, amino acid starvation, or low dose cyclohexamide treatment) ISCs gain an Lgr5-negative, fetal-like identity. This is accompanied by a rewiring of metabolism. Our findings suggest that the ribosome can act as a sensor of nutrient availability, allowing ISCs to respond to the local nutrient environment. Mechanistically, we show that this phenotype requires the activation of ZAKɑ, which in turn activates YAP, via SRC. Together, our data reveals a central role for ribosome dynamics in intestinal stem cells, and identify the activation of ZAKɑ as a critical mediator of stem cell identity.

Intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts support the growth of intestinal epithelial stem cells

Project description:Intestinal epithelial stem cells (ISCs) are the focus of recent intense study. Current in vitro models rely on supplementation with the Wnt agonist R-spondin1 to support robust growth, ISC self-renewal, and differentiation. Intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts (ISEMFs) are important supportive cells within the ISC niche. We hypothesized that co-culture with ISEMF enhances the growth of ISCs in vitro and allows for their successful in vivo implantation and engraftment. ISC-containing small intestinal crypts, FACS-sorted single ISCs, and ISEMFs were procured from C57BL/6 mice. Crypts and single ISCs were grown in vitro into enteroids, in the presence or absence of ISEMFs. ISEMFs enhanced the growth of intestinal epithelium in vitro in a proximity-dependent fashion, with co-cultures giving rise to larger enteroids than monocultures. Co-culture of ISCs with supportive ISEMFs relinquished the requirement of exogenous R-spondin1 to sustain long-term growth and differentiation of ISCs. Mono- and co-cultures were implanted subcutaneously in syngeneic mice. Co-culture with ISEMFs proved necessary for successful in vivo engraftment and proliferation of enteroids; implants without ISEMFs did not survive. ISEMF whole transcriptome sequencing and qPCR demonstrated high expression of specific R-spondins, well-described Wnt agonists that supports ISC growth. Specific non-supportive ISEMF populations had reduced expression of R-spondins. The addition of ISEMFs in intestinal epithelial culture therefore recapitulates a critical element of the intestinal stem cell niche and allows for its experimental interrogation and biodesign-driven manipulation. Two samples of intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts were used in this study.

Xenogeneic-free culture of human intestinal stem cells on functional polymer-coated substrates for scalable, clinical-grade stem cell therapy

Project description:Inevitable need for basement membrane extract (BME) with undefined constituents, such as Matrigel, for intestinal stem cell (ISC) culture in traditional system poses a significant barrier that must be overcome for the development of clinical-grade, scalable, ready-to-use ISCs. Here, we propose a functional polymer-based xenogeneic-free dish for the culture of intestinal stem cells (XF-DISC), ensuring substantially prolonged maintenance of ISCs derived from 3-dimensional human intestinal organoid (ISCs3D-hIO). XF-DISC enables remarkable expandability, exhibiting a 24-fold amplification in cell number within 30 days, with long-term maintenance of ISCs3D-hIO through consecutive passaging more than 30 times (> 210 days), and is fully compatible with a cell banking system. Notably, the ISCs3D-hIO cultured on XF-DISC are successfully transplanted into the intestinal injury and inflammation models, leading to full regeneration of damaged intestinal epithelium. XF-DISC, an extraordinary reliable and scalable xenogeneic-free ISC3D-hIO culture method exhibits significant promise in the development of regenerative ISC therapy for human intestinal diseases.

Analysis of transcriptomes in intestinal stem cells in response to Interferon gamma

Project description:There is limited understanding of how immune-mediated damage impacts intestinal stem cells (ISCs). We found that stem cell compartment injury is a shared feature of both alloreactive and autoreactive intestinal immunopathology, reducing ISCs and impairing their recovery in T-cell-mediated injury models. Modeling with ex vivo epithelial cultures indicated ISC depletion and impaired human as well as murine organoid survival upon co-culture with activated T cells, and screening of effector pathways identified Interferon-γ (IFNγ) as a principal mediator of ISC compartment damage. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed expression of IFNγ receptor on ISCs. To investigate if the receptor was functional, we performed transcriptome analysis of ISCs treated with IFNγ. In brief, mRNA profiles of sorted Lgr5-high cells treated with/without IFNγ were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using the TruSeq SBS Kit V4 (Illumina). RNA profiles confirmed a robust IFNγ transcriptional signature in the stem cells, as several IFNγ-related genes were upregulated shortly after exposure, indicating direct activity of IFNγ in ISCs. Epithelial cultures with IFNγ-receptor-deficient ISCs and purified stem cell colonies also indicated direct targeting of the ISCs. This study showed that dysregulated T cell activation and Interferon-γ production are potent mediators of ISC injury.

Gut-liver axis calibrates intestinal stem cell fitness via PEDF

Project description:The gut and liver have been recognized to mutually communicate through the biliary tract, portal vein and systemic circulation, but it remains unclear how this gut-liver axis regulates intestinal physiology. Through hepatectomy, transcriptomics and proteomics profiling, we identified pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), as a liver-derived soluble Wnt inhibitor, that can restrain intestinal stem cells (ISC) hyperproliferation for gut homeostasis by competing with Wnt ligands and suppressing Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. In turn, microbial danger signals from intestinal inflammation can be sensed by the liver to repress PEDF production via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR alpha), liberating ISC proliferation to accelerate tissue repair in the gut. Further, treatment of mice with fenofibrate, a clinical agent of PPARalpha agonist for hypolipidemia enhances the susceptibility of colitis via PEDF activity. Therefore, we identified a distinct role of PEDF to calibrate ISC expansion for intestinal homeostasis via reciprocal interactions between the gut and liver.

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.
