Age-dependent replacement of neural-crest derived enteric neurons by a novel mesodermal lineage and its functional consequences

ABSTRACT: During fetal development, neural crest precursors give rise to neurons of the enteric nervoussystem (ENS). However, given our evolving understanding of the dynamic nature of the ENS, itis not clear whether this developmental paradigm holds true at different post-natal stages. Here,we show that due to loss of GDNF-RET signaling with age, neural crest-derived neurons un-dergo a progressive decline in numbers. They are replaced by neurons derived from the embry-onic mesoderm which, with increasing age, become the dominant form of neurons in the ENS,and this is associated with functional deficits in intestinal motility. Using single cell transcrip-tomics and immunochemical approaches, we characterize these mesoderm-derived neuronsand show that this novel lineage of neurons expresses MET and is dependent on HGF for itsexpansion. Normal intestinal function in the adult gastrointestinal tract therefore appears to re-quire an optimal balance between these two distinct lineages within the ENS.

Engineered human pluripotent stem cell-derived intestinal tissues with a functional enteric nervous system

Project description:The enteric nervous system (ENS) of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract controls many diverse functions including motility and epithelial permeability. Perturbations in ENS development or function are common, yet a human model to study ENS-intestinal biology is lacking. We have used a tissue engineering approach with pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) to generate human intestinal tissue containing a functional ENS. We recapitulated normal intestinal ENS development by combining PSC-derived neural crest cells (NCCs) with developing human intestinal organoids (HIOs). When cultured alone, NCCs had full differentiation potential in vitro, however when recombined with HIOs they differentiated into neurons and glial cells. NCC-derived ENS neurons self-assembled within the developing intestinal mesenchyme and exhibited neuronal activity as measured by rhythmic waves of calcium transients. ENS-containing HIOs grown in vivo formed neuroglial structures similar to a myenteric and submucosal plexus, formed interstitial cells of Cajal, and had an electro-mechanical coupling that regulated waves of propagating contraction. This is the first demonstration of a human PSC-derived intestinal tissue with a functional ENS.

Maturing an Enteric Nervous System in Human Intestinal Organoid-derived Tissue-Engineered Small Intestine

Project description:Acquired or congenital disruption in enteric nervous system (ENS) development or function can lead to significant mechanical dysmotility. ENS restoration through cellular transplantation may provide a cure for enteric neuropathies. We have previously generated human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived tissue-engineered small intestine (TESI) from human intestinal organoids (HIO). However, HIO-TESI fails to develop an ENS. In a previous report of combined HIO with additional human enteric neural crest cells (ENCC), an ENS was established but lacked maturity. The purpose of our study is to establish a mature ENS derived exclusively from hPSC in HIO-TESI. hPSC-derived ENCC supplementation of HIO-TESI generates ENCC-HIO-TESI with mature submucosal and myenteric ganglia, repopulates excitatory, inhibitory, and sensory neurons, and restores the neuroepithelial circuit and neuron-dependent contractility and relaxation. Our findings validate a novel approach to restoring a functional hPSC-derived ENS in ENCC-HIO-TESI and implicate their potential for the treatment of enteric neuropathies.

Expression data of mouse ENCCs and mouse embryonic Gut E14.5

Project description:Signaling of the RET receptor is crucial for the migration, proliferation, differentiation and survival of enteric neural crest cells (ENCCs) that form the enteric nervous system (ENS). Disturbances in RET signaling are associated with ENS defects, as is seen in patients with Hirschsprung disease. However, the downstream effectors of RET signalling in ENCCs is largely unknown. This study aims to gain new insight into the pathways involved in or triggered by RET in ENCCs. We used microarrays to detect the gene expression of mouse embryonic ENCCs when we stimulated with GDNF compare to control without GDNF and also compare to the gene expression of mouse embryonic gut (all are isolated from mouse embryonic day 14.5). Our aim is to gain insight of RET-GDNF downstream effectors and also all signalling pathways that regulate by RET-GDNF in ENCCs during development. We performed gene expression profiling with RNA isolated from GDNF- (the RET ligand) stimulated and non-stimulated mouse ENCCs and also from mouse embryonic gut E14.5. We compare these three set of microarray data to each other and analyzed single-gene analysis methods. by this analysis we could detect genes that regulate by RET-GDNF signalling in ENCCs and by comparing data of ENCCs with and without GDNF to the expression data of mouse embryonic gut in the same stage of development, we could also detect gene that specifically express in ENCCs dependent and independently of RET-GDNF signalling. We analyzed the gene expression data of ENCCs with and without GDNF by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) to detect which pathways are down- and up-regulated by RET-GDNF signalling.

Loss of enteric neuronal Ndrg4 promotes colorectal cancer via increased release of Nid1 and Fbln2

Project description:The N-Myc Downstream-Regulated Gene 4 (NDRG4), a prominent biomarker for colorectal cancer (CRC), is specifically expressed by enteric neurons. Considering that nerves are important members of the tumor microenvironment, we here establish different Ndrg4 knockout (Ndrg4-/-) CRC models and an in-direct co-culture of primary enteric nervous system (ENS) cells and intestinal organoids to identify whether the ENS, via NDRG4, affects intestinal tumorigenesis. Linking immunostainings and gastrointestinal motility (GI) assays, we show that absence of Ndrg4 does not trigger any functional or morphological GI-abnormalities. However, combining in vivo, in vitro and quantitative proteomics data, we uncover that Ndrg4 knockdown is associated with enlarged intestinal adenoma development and that organoid growth is boosted by the Ndrg4-/- ENS cell secretome, which is enriched for Nidogen-1 (Nid1) and Fibulin-2 (Fbln2). Moreover, NID1 and FBLN2 are expressed in enteric neurons, enhance tumorigenic capacities of CRC cells and are enriched in human CRC secretomes. Hence, we provide evidence that the ENS, via loss of Ndrg4, is involved in colorectal pathogenesis and that ENS-derived Nidogen-1 and Fibulin-2 enhance colorectal carcinogenesis.

Expression data from embryonic day 17 (E17) enteric neural crest-dervied cells (ENCDC) and non-ENCDC

Project description:During the later stages of enteric nervous system (ENS) development, enteric neural crest derived cells (ENCDC) that have colonized the bowel must complete differentiating and mature into neurons and glia. This process is controlled by a complex array of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. We used microarrays to dermine which genes were differntially expressed in ENCDC versus other cells in the developing bowel. We identified many geness enriched in ENCDC with potential roles in the later stages of ENS development

Transcriptional profiles of neural crest-derived progenitor cells from the small bowel and subcutaneous adipose tissue

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) are most commonly sourced from neural tissue such as the central nervous system or the enteric nervous system (ENS) of the gut. Emerging evidence has shown that adipose tissue contains its own complex nervous system consisting of sympathetic and sensory innervation. The entirety of the peripheral nervous system is the progeny of Wnt1-expressing cells of the embryonic neural crest. This includes the ENS, autonomic neurons, and Schwann cell precursors that provide peripheral glial cells. Counterintuitive to their name, however, embryonic Schwann cell precursors represent multipotent stem cells that migrate along embryonic nerve fibers and contribute to glial and non-glial cell populations, including melanocytes, neuroendocrine chromaffin cells, enteric neurons, sympathetic neurons and mesenchymal stem cells from the bone marrow, depending on local environmental cues. However, no equivalent progenitors are known to exist postnatally in the nerve fiber niche. Schwann cells have been demonstrated to give rise to enteric neurons postnatally, suggesting they retain neuronal progenitor properties and offer a potential source of NSCs for regenerative therapies. In this study, we compare the transcriptomic properties of neural crest-derived NSCs from the intestine (enteric neural progenitors) and the nerve fibers of the subcutaneous adipose tissue and evaluate the effects of different methods of NSC culture and isolation.

Single-cell profiling coupled with lineage analysis reveals vagal and sacral neural crest contributions to the developing enteric nervous system

Project description:During development, much of the enteric nervous system (ENS) arises from the vagal neural crest that emerges from the caudal hindbrain and colonizes the entire gastrointestinal tract. However, a second contribution to the ENS comes from the sacral neural crest that arises in the caudal neural tube and populates the post-umbilical gut. By coupling single cell transcriptomics with axial-level specific lineage tracing in avian embryos, we compared the contributions of embryonic vagal and sacral neural crest cells to the pre-umbilical and post-umbilical chick ENS and the associated peripheral ganglia (the Nerve of Remak and pelvic plexuses) at embryonic day (E) 10.

RNA Seq analysis of E9.5 embryonic vagal regions in Rdh10 mutants of mouse

Project description:The enteric nervous system (ENS) is formed from vagal neural crest cells (NCC), which generate the neurons and glia that regulate gastrointestinal function. Defects in the migration, colonization or differentiation of NCC in the gut can result in gastrointestinal disorders such as Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). Although mutations in many genes have been associated with the etiology of HSCR, a significant proportion of affected individuals have an unknown genetic diagnosis. Therefore, it’s important to identify new genes, modifiers and environmental factors that regulate ENS development and HSCR. We discovered that retinol dehydrogenase 10 (Rdh10) loss-of-function mouse embryos exhibit total intestinal aganglionosis, the most severe form of HSCR. Rdh10 catalyzes the first oxidative step in the metabolism of vitamin A to its active metabolite, RA, and is therefore a central regulator of vitamin A metabolism and retinoic acid (RA) synthesis during embryogenesis. Rdh10 is highly expressed in the mesenchyme surrounding the entrance to the foregut and we demonstrate that paracrine retinoid signaling is essential between E7.5-E9.5 for NCC entry into the gut. Vagal NCC form and migrate in Rdh10 mutant embryos but fail to enter the foregut. Comparative RNA-sequencing revealed Ret-Gdnf-Gfra1-signaling which is critical for vagal NCC chemotaxis is downregulated in Rdh10 mutants and furthermore that the composition of the extracellular matrix through which NCC migrate is altered, particularly by increased collagen deposition. Collectively this restricts NCC entry into the gut, demonstrating that Rdh10-mediated vitamin A metabolism and RA signaling pleiotropically regulates the NCC microenvironment during ENS formation and in the pathogenesis of HSCR.

Single cell gene expression of early E8.5 pioneer neural crest cells and paraxial mesoderm

Project description:Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was used to isolate cells from the principal critical micro-regions, whose development, differentiation and signaling interactions are responsible for the construction of the mammalian face. At E8.5, as migrating neural crest cells begin to exit the neural fold/epidermal ectoderm boundary, we examined the facial mesenchyme, composed of neural crest and paraxial mesoderm cells, as well as cells from adjacent neuroepithelium We performed single cell studies to better define the gene expression states of the early E8.5 pioneer neural crest cells and paraxial mesoderm, and present microarray data detailing expression patterns within these embryonic cell populations. Mouse emrbyos were harvested at developmental stage E8.5 and single cells were captured from the neuroepithilium, neural crest, and paraxial mesoderm. RNA was extracted, labelled, and quantified using the Mouse ST-l microarray.
