YAP-activated metaplasia underlies gastric adenocarcinoma and corpus regenerative mechanisms [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: YAP is a transcriptional co-activator of the hippo signaling pathway and is known for its oncogenic and regenerative activity across numerous tissue types. In particular, high YAP levels in patients with gastric cancer (GC) confer a lower survival rate and poor prognosis for these individuals. Therefore, there is a great need to develop targeted therapies against these aggressive tumors. However, the role of YAP and its underlying molecular mechanisms during gastric tumorigenesis are still poorly understood. Using genetic models, we demonstrate the oncogenic function of YAP in CLU+ gastric cells in vivo. YAP over-expression in CLU+ cells induced atrophy, metaplasia and hyperproliferation in the gastric corpus, while its deletion in a Notch activated gastric tumor model rescued metaplasia. Furthermore, we defined the YAP1 targetome in YAP activated gastric tumors, and showed that YAP1 binds to the active chromatin elements of spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) related genes and activates their expressions in gastric tumors and ulcers. Together, these results reveal YAP1 as a critical regulator of metaplasia in the gastric corpus, and highlights YAP signaling as a possible therapeutic target to inhibit the progression of gastric tumors.

Effects of a gastrin receptor antagonist (NTZ, previously named YF) on the gastric corpus mucosa of HKATPase betasubunit knockout (KO) mice

Project description:Purpose: the effects of a gastrin receptor antagonist has been studies in patients with gastrin neuroendocrine (NE) tumours due to hypergastrinemia. This mouse model of hypergastrinemia is a model for studying long term acid inhibition, including NE hyperplasia and formation of Spasmolytic polypeptide expressing metaplasia (SPEM), a proposed premalignant alteration of the stomach. Methods: RNA was isolated from the oxyntic mucosa. RNA was sequenced using standard Illumina protocols on a NextSeq 500 instrument. Results: NTZ reduced oxyntic mucosal hypertropohy and stomach weight. Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia and NE markers were also reduced. Spasmolytic polypeptide expressing metaplasia (SPEM) was expressed in KO mice and was not affected by the gastrin receptor antagonist. Conclusions: The gastrin receptor antagonist YF reduced gastric corpus mucosal hypertrophy and NE cell hyperplasia in HKATPase KO mice, but did not affect SPEM or SPEM related genes.

IL-33 regulates metaplasia and macrophage polarization in the stomach.

Project description:Alternatively-activated macrophages (M2) are known to play a critical role in intestinalization of spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM), which is a precursor to gastric adenocarcinoma. However, the precise mechanism(s) and critical mediators produced by M2 macrophages that lead to SPEM are unknown. Using established murine models of metaplasia in the stomach, the aim of the present study was to determine how M2 macrophages induce intestinalized SPEM. Macrophages from the stomach corpus of mice with SPEM (DMP-777-treated) or advanced intestinalized SPEM (L635-treated) were isolated and RNA sequencing was performed. IL-33 was the most upregulated cytokine in macrophages associated with intestinalized SPEM. L635-treated IL-33 knock out mice did not develop metaplasia, suggesting that IL-33 is required for the induction of SPEM after acute parietal cell loss. While the loss of IL-33 did not reduce macrophage recruitment into the mucosa, infiltrating macrophages were not M2 polarized. We conclude that IL-33 is necessary for both the induction of mucous metaplasia (SPEM) in the stomach and polarization towards M2 in recruited macrophages. Our data suggest that the inflammatory pathway in the stomach after parietal cell loss resembles pathways associated with allergy-induced airway inflammation, which implicates novel treatment options for gastritis patients to prevent gastric cancer.

Tristetraprolin prevents gastric metaplasia by suppressing pathogenic inflammation

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to examine whether TTP can protect the stomach from adrenalectomy (ADX)-induced gastric inflammation and spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM). Methods: we utilized the TTP∆ARE mouse model to examine whether TTP overexpression can protect the stomach from adrenalectomy (ADX)-induced gastric inflammation and spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM). Results: We found that TTP∆ARE mice were completely protected from ADX-induce gastric inflammation and SPEM. RNA sequencing revealed that TTP overexpression suppressed the expression of genes associated with the innate immune response. Finally, we show that protection from gastric inflammation was only partially due to suppression of Tnf, a well-known TTP target. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that TTP exerts broad anti-inflammatory effects in the stomach, and suggest that therapies that increase TTP expression may be effective treatments of pro-neoplastic gastric inflammation.

Protein Kinase A (PKAc alpha ) regulates gastric homeostasis and preneoplastic lesions

Project description:We generated a novel Six2-Cre+/-PKAcaRfl/wt (CA-PKA) CA-PKA mouse in which expression of constitutive-active PKAcaR was induced in gastric mesenchyme progenitors. CA-PKA mice showed disruption of gastric homeostasis characterized by aberrant mucosal development and epithelial hyperproliferation; ultimately developing multiple features of gastric corpus preneoplasia including decreased parietal cells, mucous cell hyperplasia, spasmolytic peptide expressing metaplasia (SPEM) with intestinal characteristics and dysplastic and invasive cystic glands. Our results show that constitutively active PKAcaR in the stomach mesenchyme nonautonomously disrupts gastric homeostasis characterized by increased epithelial proliferation and aberrant epithelial maldevelopment, ultimately leading to gastric preneoplasia.

Transcriptional analysis reveals the molecular details of atrophic gastritis in Helicobacter pylori infected corpus mucosa

Project description:The majority of gastric cancer cases are believed to be caused by chronic infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, and atrophic corpus gastritis is a predisposing condition to gastric cancer development. We aimed to increase understanding of the molecular details of atrophy by performing a global transcriptome analysis of stomach tissue. Biopsies from patients with different stages of H. pylori infection were taken from both the antrum and corpus mucosa and analyzed on microarrays. The stages included patients without current H. pylori infection, H. pylori-infected without corpus atrophy and patients with current or past H. pylori-infection with corpus-predominant atrophic gastritis.Using clustering and integrated analysis, we found firm evidence for antralization of the corpus mucosa of atrophy patients. This antralization harbored gain of gastrin expression, as well as loss of expression of corpus-related genes, such as genes associated with acid production, energy metabolism and blood clotting. The analyses provided detailed molecular evidence for simultaneous intestinal metaplasia (IM) and spasmolytic polypeptide expressing metaplasia (SPEM) in atrophic corpus tissue. Finally, acidic mammalian chitinase, a chitin-degrading enzyme produced by chief cells, was shown to be strongly down-regulated in corpus atrophy.Transcriptome analysis revealed several gene groups which are related to development of corpus atrophy, some of which were increased also in H. pylori-infected non-atrophic patients. Furthermore, loss of acidic chitinase expression is a promising marker for corpus atrophy. Biopsies from well classified patients with different stages of H. pylori infection were taken from both the antrum and corpus mucosa. These stages included H. pylori un-infected, H. pylori-infected without corpus atrophy and H. pylori-infected with corpus-predominant atrophic gastritis.

Transplantation of gastric organoid-derived spasmolytic polypeptide/TFF2-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) cell lineage promotes ulcer repair in the aged stomach

Project description:Background & Aims: Spasmolytic polypeptide/TFF2-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) is known to emerge following parietal cell loss and during Helicobacter pylori infection, however its role in gastric ulcer repair is unknown. Therefore, we sought to investigate if SPEM plays a role in epithelial regeneration. Methods: Acetic acid ulcers were induced in young (2-3 months) C57BL/6 mice to determine the quality of ulcer repair. Gastric tissue was collected and analyzed to determine the expression of SPEM within the regenerating epithelium. As a comparison to native tissue the expression of SPEM was also identified within cultured gastric mouse-derived organoids. Results: Wound healing in the mice coincided with the emergence of SPEM expressing CD44v within the ulcerated region. The emergence of SPEM was also observed in cultured gastric organoids. Conclusions: These data demonstrate the SPEM may play a role in epithelial regeneration. Conclusions: These data demonstrate the SPEM may play a role in epithelial regeneration. 4 samples were used for ulcerated and uninjured tissue. 1 sample was used for intact tissue and organoid-derived RNA. The 'Ulcerated' samples represent C57BL/6 mice with ulcers and the 'Uninjured' samples represent the healthy controls (for "ulcerated" samples). The "Intact stomach tissue" and "Gastric organoids" samples are other types of samples that compared separately. "Gastric organoids" in this comparison are derived from "Intact stomach tissue".

A Point Mutation R122C in RUNX3 Promotes the Expansion of Isthmus Stem Cells and Inhibits Their Differentiation in the Stomach

Project description:Background & Aims: RUNX transcription factors play pivotal roles in embryonic development and neoplasia. We previously identified the single missense mutation R122C in RUNX3 from human gastric cancer. However, how RUNX3R122C mutation disrupts stem cell homeostasis and promotes gastric carcinogenesis remained unclear. Methods: To understand the oncogenic nature of this mutation in vivo, we generated the RUNX3R122C knock-in mice. Stomach tissues were harvested, followed by histological and immunofluorescence staining, organoid culture, flow cytometry to isolate gastric corpus isthmal and non-isthmal epithelial cells, and RNA extraction for transcriptomic analysis. Results: The corpus tissue of RUNX3R122C/R122C homozygous mice exhibited a precancerous phenotype such as spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM). We observed mucous neck cell hyperplasia, massive reduction of pit, parietal, and chief cell populations, as well as a dramatic increase in the number of rapidly proliferating isthmal stem/progenitor cells in the corpus of RUNX3R122C/R122C mice. Transcriptomic analyses of the isolated epithelial cells showed that the cell cycle-related MYC target gene signature was enriched in the corpus epithelial cells of RUNX3R122C/R122C mice compared with the wild-type corpus. Mechanistically, RUNX3R122C mutant protein disrupted the regulation of the restriction point where cells decide to enter either proliferative or quiescent state, thereby driving stem cell expansion and limiting the ability of cells to terminally differentiate. Conclusions: RUNX3R122C missense mutation is associated with the continuous cycling of isthmal stem/progenitor cells, maturation arrest and development of a precancerous state. This work highlights the importance of RUNX3 in prevention of metaplasia and gastric cancer.
