Transcriptional profiling of laser captured intestinal tissue from the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea

ABSTRACT: Proper function and repair of the digestive system are vital to most animals. Deciphering the mechanisms involved in these processes requires an atlas of gene expression and cell types. Here, we applied laser-capture microdissection (LCM) and RNA-seq to characterize the intestinal transcriptome of Schmidtea mediterranea, a planarian flatworm that can regenerate all organs, including the gut. We identified hundreds of genes with intestinal expression undetected by previous approaches. Systematic analyses revealed extensive conservation of digestive physiology and cell types with other animals, including humans. Furthermore, spatial LCM enabled us to uncover previously unappreciated regionalization of gene expression in the planarian intestine along the medio-lateral axis, especially among intestinal goblet cells. Finally, we identified two intestine-enriched transcription factors that specifically regulate regeneration (hedgehog signaling effector gli-1) or maintenance (RREB2) of goblet cells. Altogether, this work provides resources for further investigation of mechanisms involved in gastrointestinal function, repair and regeneration.

Adult stem cells in the small intestine are intrinsically programmed with their location-specific function

Project description:Differentiation and specialisation of epithelial cells in the small intestine is regulated in two ways. First, there is differentiation along the crypt-villus axis of the intestinal stem cells into absorptive enterocytes, Paneth, goblet, tuft, enteroendocrine or M-cells, which is mainly regulated by WNT. Second, there is specialization along the cephalocaudal axis with different absorptive and digestive functions in duodenum, jejunum and ileum that is controlled by several transcription factors such as GATA4. However, so far it is unknown whether location-specific functional properties are intrinsically programmed within stem cells or if continuous signalling from mesenchymal cells is necessary to maintain the location-specific identity of the small intestine. By using the pure epithelial organoid technique, we show that region-specific gene expression profiles are conserved throughout long-term cultures of both mouse and human intestinal stem cells and correlated with differential Gata4 expression. Furthermore, the human organoid culture system demonstrates that Gata4-regulated gene expression is only allowed in absence of WNT signalling. These data show that location-specific function is intrinsically programmed in the adult stem cells of the small intestine and that their differentiation fate is independent of location-specific extracellular signals. In light of the potential future clinical application of small intestine-derived organoids, our data imply that it is important to generate GATA4-positive and GATA4-negative cultures to regenerate all essential functions of the small intestine.

Arachidonic acid promotes intestinal regeneration by activating Wnt signaling

Project description:We identify arachidonic acid (AA), as a direct proliferation promoter of intestinal epithelial cells, facilitating small intestinal regeneration. In the transcriptomes, it shows that AA treatment upregulated proliferation-related genes including Wnt signaling target genes, while downregulated differentiation-related genes including enterocyte, goblet cell, Paneth cell, enteroendocrine cell, and tuft cell markers. Additionally, AA could also upregulate stem cell-associated genes which have been highly expressed three days after 12Gy IR injury (e.g. Clu, Lamc2, Anxa1, Areg, and Ly6d). The study shows that AA treatment can be considered a potential therapy for irradiation injury repair and tissue regeneration.

ALOX12-expressing macrophages produce MCTRs to promote local efferocytosis and tissue repair

Project description:Poor wound healing due to dysregulated tissue repair responses can exacerbate and prolong disease. Successful tissue repair is critically dependent on the timely clearance of apoptotic cells by macrophages in a process termed efferocytosis. Mechanisms and factors that link these two fundamental processes are therefore of great interest. Herein, we observed that a subset of 12-lipoxygenase (ALOX12)-expressing macrophages upregulate the production of host protective autacoids termed maresin conjugates in tissue regeneration (MCTR) during efferocytosis. MCTRs in turn play autocrine and paracrine functions in enhancing the ability of both ALOX12-positive and surrounding ALOX12-negative macrophages to uptake apoptotic cells. These effects of ALOX12-positive macrophages and MCTRs in regulating apoptotic cells clearance was also observed at sites of high apoptotic cell burden in mouse and flatworm models, as the formation of these mediators was upregulated and abrogation of related ALOX activity in mice reduced the ability of macrophages to clear apoptotic cells. Furthermore, add-back of MCTRs rapidly enhanced the efferocytosis capability of macrophages in mice and planarian flatworms. Mechanistic studies in macrophages revealed that MCTRs modulated Rac1 signalling and glycolytic metabolism, two pathways crucial for effective efferocytosis, and enhanced efferocytosis-induced WNT ligand production. Inhibition of Rac1 abrogated the ability of MCTRs to enhance glucose uptake and efferocytosis in vitro, while inhibiting either Rac1, glycolysis, or WNT ligand production prevented MCTR-mediated enhancement of apoptotic cell clearance and tissue regeneration. Taken together, our findings identify a central role for ALOX12-expressing macrophages in the regulation of efferocytosis and tissue repair via the local formation of MCTRs.

Proteomic profiling of enteroid cultures skewed towards development of specific epithelial lineages

Project description:Recently, three-dimensional small intestinal organoids (enteroids) have been developed from cultures of intestinal stem cells which differentiate in vitro to generate all the differentiated epithelial cell types associated with the intestine and mimic the structural properties of the intestine observed in vivo. Small-molecule drug treatment can skew organoid epithelial cell differentiation towards particular lineages, and these skewed enteroids may provide useful tools to study specific epithelial cell populations, such as goblet and Paneth cells. However, the use and characterisation of enteroid models has not yet been fully explored, such that the extent to which differentiated epithelial cell populations in these skewed enteroids represent their in vivo counterparts is not fully understood. In this study, we have performed label-free quantitative proteomics to determine whether skewing murine enteroid cultures towards the goblet or Paneth cell lineages results in changes in abundance of proteins associated with these cell lineages in vivo. Our data confirm that skewed enteroids recapitulate important features of the in vivo gut environment, confirming that they can serve as useful models for the investigation of normal and disease processes in the intestine. Furthermore, by comparison of our mass spectrometry data with histology data contained within the Human Protein Atlas, we identify putative novel markers for goblet and Paneth cells.

Mouse intestinal epithelial cells in the deficiency of Foxo1

Project description:Mucus produced by goblet cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract forms a biological barrier that protects the intestine from invasion by commensals and pathogens. However, the host-derived regulatory network that controls mucus secretion and thereby changing gut microbiota has not been well studied. We found Forkhead box protein O1 (Foxo1) regulates mucus secretion by goblet cells and determines intestinal homeostasis. Loss of Foxo1 in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) results in a defect in goblet cell autophagy and mucus secretion, leading to impaired gut microenvironment and dysbiosis.

Construction of small intestine-like tissue by reproducing interstitial flow on-chip

Project description:Significant progress has been recently achieved in generating in vitro human small intestine models. Nonetheless, there remains ample opportunity for enhancement, both in terms of structure and function, within the current model. In this study, our objective is to construct a multilayered small intestinal tissue composed of an intestinal epithelium, supportive mesenchymal cells, and an extracellular matrix. We developed a multilayered small intestinal tissue by differentiating human induced pluripotent stem cells on a microfluidic device capable of replicating interstitial flow. Under the interstitial flow exposure, a three-dimensional villus-like epithelium and mature intestinal epithelial cells, including polarized enterocytes or goblet cells, were observed in the small intestine tissue-on-a-chips. Further analysis revealed that intestinal fibroblasts and collagen fiber are localized to the basolateral side of the intestinal epithelium. Moreover, we confirmed that small intestine tissue-on-a-chips are useful for pharmaceutical and infectious disease research. Our small intestine tissue-on-a-chips not only overcome the limitations of conventional small intestine models but also offer a unique opportunity to understand the mechanisms underlying intestinal tissue development.

RNA sequencing analysis of IECs from WT and RhoB-/- mice

Project description:Purpose: RhoB regulates cell functions, such as vesicular transport, apoptosis, autophagy, DNA repair, angiogenesis, proliferation, migration and invasion. We investigated whether RhoB is involved in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC).We performed RNA sequencing analysis in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) from RhoB-deficient mice and WT mice to study the molecular mechanisms through which RhoB regulates goblet cell numbers and epithelial regeneration and confirmed findings in colonic organoids from RhoB-deficient mice and WT mice and siRhoB transfected SW480 cells.

Sympathetic nerves regulate intestinal regeneration through IL22 signaling

Project description:The intestine is a barrier tissue whose epithelium has high intrinsic turnover rate; intestinal stem cells, in response to signals from the niche, self-renew and produce progeny that differentiate to fulfill the continuous demand for new epithelial cells that are continuously shed into the lumen. The intestine is innervated by a dense network of peripheral nerves that controls nutrient absorption, intestinal motility, and visceral pain sensation. However, the roles of neurons in regulating epithelial cell homeostasis or regeneration remain as yet undiscovered. Here we investigate the effects of gut-innervating sympathetic neurons on epithelial cell repair following irradiation (IR)-induced gut injury. We observed that sympathetic innervation density in the gut increases post IR, while chemical sympathetic denervation impairs gut regeneration. Combining single cell RNA-sequencing and in vivo experiments, we discovered that sympathetic neurons regulate gut regeneration through modulation of IL22 production in type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) downstream of 2-adrenergic receptor signaling. These results define a novel neuroimmune axis important for intestinal regeneration.
