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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

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.

Lymphatic endothelial cells, together with Rspo3+Grem1+ fibroblasts, support intestinal stem cells through the production of R-spondin3 in homeostasis and injury [scRNAseq]

Project description:Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) depend on niche factors for proper function. Here, we focus on RSPO3, an essential ISC niche factor, that engages the Lgr5 receptor on ISCs to potentiate WNT signaling, an interaction that is critical for maintaining intestinal stemness. Leveraging novel Rspo3-GFP and Grem1-tdTomato-CreERT2 genetically engineered mice together with single-cell mRNA profiling, we find that RSPO3 is expressed by lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and Rspo3+Grem1+ (RG) fibroblasts in the intestinal stroma where RG fibroblasts surround lymphatics and are in close proximity to Lgr5+ ISCs near the crypt base. Functionally, RG fibroblasts through the production of RSPO3 and GREM1 and LECs through the production of RSPO3 foster intestinal organoid propagation in vitro. Rspo3 loss in either or both of these niche cells in vivo compromises ISC numbers, villi length, and repair after irradiation-induced injury. Mechanistically, irradiation-induced damage expands LEC and RG fibroblast numbers and enhances the latters’ generation of RSPO3 through IL-1 receptor activation. We propose that LECs represent a novel component of the ISC niche, which together with RG fibroblasts, provide essential RSPO3 to sustain ISCs in homeostasis and regeneration.

IκBα deficiency imposes a fetal phenotype to intestinal stem cells [RNA-seq]

Project description: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.
