Project description:Ihh expression is required for intestinal stem cell niche development. Loss of Ihh leads to disruption of intestinal stem cell niche, which leads to abnormal stem cell development and epithelial cell differentiation. 3 paired control (C) and mutant (M) mice here harvested. Their colon tissues were analyzed using Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0ST array Control and VilCre;Ihhflox/flox mice were harvested at p12 There are 3 pairs (total 6) samples: M1 and C1 are littermates M2 and C2 are littermates M3 and C3 are littermates

Project description:The morphogen Indian Hedgehog plays a very important role during intestinal embryogenesis, but also maintains homeostasis of the adult gut. Intestinal Indian Hedgehog is expressed by the intestinal epithelium and signals in paracrine manner to fibroblasts in the stromal compartment. Unresolved deletion of Ihh from the intestinal epithelium leads to a severe enterocolitis. We studied the short term changes in the colon upon deletion of Ihh from the epithelial layer.

Project description:Mesenchymal-epithelial interactions play a critical role in organ development, stem cells and disease. During intestinal development, pseudostratified epithelia undergo dramatic morphogenesis called villification, to form finger-like projections, in which mesenchymal cell clustering and muscle layers play a key role. In the adult, the gut mesenchyme is proposed as a key intestinal stem cell niche providing essential niche signals such as Wnt ligands, while the TGF beta signaling mediated gut stromal program is critical for cancer progression. However, how these signals are produced is currently unknown. In the gut, Hedgehog (Hh) signaling acts strictly in a paracrine manner: Hh ligands are expressed in the epithelium and activate signaling exclusively in the mesenchyme. Notably, Hh signaling is not only essential for mesenchymal clustering and muscle differentiation, it is also involved in intestinal tumorigenesis. To investigate Hh mediated mechanisms, we analyzed mice deleted for key Hh negative regulators, Sufu and/or Spop in the gut mesenchyme, and demonstrated their dosage dependent role in the negative regulation of Hh signaling. Although these mutants exhibit abnormal mesenchymal cell growth and functionally defective muscle layers, villification is completed with proper mesenchymal clustering, implying a permissive role for Hh signaling. These mesenchymal defects are partially rescued by Gli2 reduction, demonstrating the significance of its transcriptional regulation. Surprisingly, in contrast to its known inhibitory role in epithelial proliferation, abnormal Hh activation in the gut mesenchyme leads to increased epithelial proliferation. Corroborating this data, Sufu reduction is sufficient to promote intestinal tumorigenesis, while Gli2 heterozygosity suppresses it. To define GLI2-mediated downstream mechanisms, we mapped its binding sites and analyzed gene expression genome-wide, identifying one of the most robust Hh direct targetome data sets ever reported. This work reveals the GLI2 transcriptional regulation of Wnt and TGF beta pathways in stem cell proliferation and muscle differentiation, providing mechanistic insight into the intestinal stem cell niche in development and tumorigenesis.

Project description:Smooth muscle is an essential component of the intestine, both to maintain its structure and produce peristaltic and segmentation movements. However, very little is known about other putative roles that smooth muscle may have. Here, we show that smooth muscle is the dominant supplier of BMP antagonists, which are niche factors that are essential for intestinal stem cell maintenance. Furthermore, muscle-derived factors can render epithelium reparative and fetal-like, which includes heightened YAP activity. Mechanistically, we find that the matrix metalloproteinase MMP17, which is exclusively expressed by smooth muscle, is required for intestinal epithelial repair after inflammation- or irradiation-induced injury. Furthermore, we provide evidence that MMP17 affects intestinal epithelial reprogramming indirectly by cleaving the matricellular protein PERIOSTIN, which itself is able to activate YAP. Together, we identify an important signaling axis that firmly establishes a role for smooth muscle as a modulator of intestinal epithelial regeneration and the intestinal stem cell niche.

Project description:Intestinal organoids are complex three-dimensional structures that mimic cell type composition and tissue organization of the intestine by recapitulating the self-organizing capacity of cell populations derived from a single stem cell. Crucial in this process is a first symmetry-breaking event, in which only a fraction of identical cells in a symmetrical cyst differentiate into Paneth cells, which in turn generates the stem cell niche and leads to asymmetric structures such as crypts and villi. We here combine a quantitative single-cell gene expression and imaging approach to characterize the development of intestinal organoids from a single cell. We show that intestinal organoid development follows a regeneration process driven by transient Yap1 activation. Cell-to-cell variability in Yap1, emerging in symmetrical cysts, initiates a Notch/Dll1 lateral inhibition event driving the symmetry-breaking event and the formation of the first Paneth cell. Our findings reveal how single cells exposed to a uniform growth-promoting environment have the intrinsic ability to generate emergent, self-organized behavior resulting in the formation of complex multicellular asymmetric structures.
