Enteroendocrine cell types that drive food reward and aversion

ABSTRACT: Animals must learn through experience which foods are nutritious and should be consumed, and which are toxic and should be avoided. Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are the principal chemosensors in the GI tract, but investigation of their role in behavior has been limited by the difficulty of selectively targeting these cells in vivo. Here we describe an intersectional genetic approach for manipulating EEC subtypes in behaving mice. We show that multiple EEC subtypes inhibit food intake but have different effects on learning. Conditioned flavor preference is driven by release of cholecystokinin whereas conditioned taste aversion is mediated by serotonin and substance P. These positive and negative valence signals are transmitted by vagal and spinal afferents, respectively. These findings establish a cellular basis for how chemosensing in the gut drives learning about food.

High Resolution mRNA and Secretome Atlas of Human Enteroendocrine Cells

Project description:Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) sense intestinal content and release hormones to regulate gastrointestinal activity and systemic metabolism and food intake. Little is known about the molecular make-up of human EEC subtypes and the regulated secretion of individual hormones. Here we describe an organoid-based platform for functional studies of human EECs. EEC formation is induced in vitro by transient expression of NEUROG3. A set of gut organoids was engineered in which the major hormones are fluorescently tagged. A single-cell mRNA atlas was generated for the different EEC subtypes, and their secreted products were recorded by mass-spectrometry. We note key differences with murine EECs, including in hormones, sensory receptors and transcription factors. Notably, several novel hormone-like molecules were identified. Inter-EEC communication is exemplified by Secretin-induced GLP-1 secretion. Indeed, individual EEC subtypes carry receptors for various EEC hormones. This study provides a rich resource to study human EEC development and function.

An approach to intersectionally target mature enteroendocrine cells in the small intestine of mice

Project description:Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) constitute only a small proportion of Villin-1 (Vil1)-expressing intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) of the gastrointestinal tract; yet, in sum, they build the largest endocrine organ of the body, with each of them storing and releasing a distinct set of peptides for the control of feeding behavior, glucose metabolism, and gastrointestinal motility. Like all IEC types, EECs are continuously renewed from intestinal stem cells in the crypt base and terminally differentiate into mature subtypes while moving up the crypt-villus axis. Interestingly, EECs adjust their hormonal secretion according to their migration statues as EECs receive altering differentiation signals along the crypt-villus axis and thus undergo functional readaptation. Cell-specific targeting of mature EEC subtypes by specific promoters is challenging because the expression of EEC-derived peptides and their precursors are not limited to EECs but are also found in other organs, such as the brain (e.g. Cck and Sst) as well as in the pancreas (e.g. Sst and Gcg). Here, we describe an intersectional genetic approach that enables cell type-specific targeting of functionally distinct EEC subtypes by combining a newly-generated Dre-recombinase expressing mouse line (Vil1-2A-DD-Dre) with multiple existing Cre-recombinase mice, and mouse strains with rox and loxP sites flanked stop cassettes for transgene expression. We found that transgene expression in triple-transgenic mice is highly specific in I, but not D and L cells in the apical villi of the small intestine. The targeting of EECs only in villi is likely caused by the intrinsic Vil1 expression, limiting our Vil1-2A-DD-Dre mouse line and the intersectional genetic approach described here for the investigation of mature EECs.

Inhibition of LIFR blocks adiposity driven endometrioid endometrial cancer growth

Project description:We examined the mechanisms by which adiposity regulates EEC progression. EEC cells were incubated with or without adipocyte conditioned medium (ADP-CM), and total RNA was isolated for RNA-seq analysis. Our results demonstrated that ADP-CM stimulated EEC cells showed upregulation of several LIF/LIFR modulated pathways including Jak/STAT and cytokine pathways.

Comparison of enteroendocrine cells and pancreatic β-cells using gene expression profiling and insulin gene methylation

Project description:In this study, similarities between EECs and β-cells were evaluated in detail. To obtain specific subtypes of EECs, cell sorting by flow cytometry was conducted from STC-1 cells (a heterogenous EEC line), and each single cell was cultured and passaged. Five EEC subtypes were established according to hormone expression, measured by quantitative RT-PCR and immunostaining: L, K, I, G and S cells expressing glucagon-like peptide-1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, cholecystokinin, gastrin and secretin, respectively. Global microarray gene expression profiles revealed a higher similarity between each EEC subtype and MIN6 cells (a β-cell line) than between C2C12 cells (a myoblast cell line) and MIN6 cells, and all EEC subtypes were highly similar to each other. Genes for insulin secretion-related proteins were mostly enriched in EECs.

microarray of Amygdala of CTA rats

Project description:Feeding is an important activity for all animals providing nutrients essential for survival and reproduction. Not surprisingly, learning plays a critical role in feeding behavior through the establishment and strengthening of food preferences and aversions. That is, the integration of taste and post ingestive visceral signals in the brain results in memorial representations about the consequences associated with ingesting a particular food. For example, when ingestion of a food is followed by negative gastrointestinal consequences (e.g. nausea, sickness, or vomiting), the animal develops a conditioned taste aversion (CTA), which produces a switch from acceptance to avoidance of that and any like tasting stimulus. Despite recent advances in understanding CTA responsive intracellular signaling pathways in the amygdala, little is known about any long-term regulation of target gene expression following CTA memory consolidation and retrieval. The present study utilized oligo-nucleotide microarray to understand the genes and networks involved in Conditional Taste Aversion Behavior.

Basal amygdala-nucleus accumbens glutamate neurons respond to either social reward or social aversion

Project description:A substantial proportion of basal amygdala (BA) glutamate neurons project to nucleus accumbens (NAc). The evidence that these neurons are activated by reward and/or aversion is equivocal. Social stimuli are highly salient, and in male mice we conducted a detailed analysis of the responsiveness of BA-NAc neurons to estrous female (social reward, SR) or aggressive male (social aversion, SA). Both SR and SA activated c-Fos expression in a relatively high number of BA-NAc neurons in intermediate (int) BA. Using Fos-TRAP2 mice, the majority of social int-BA-NAc neurons were activated by either SR or SA, i.e. were monovalent, and in similar numbers. Fiber photometry provided corroborative evidence that int-BA-NAc neural pathway activity was similar in response to SR or SA. These findings contribute substantially to understanding the topography and valence-specificity of BA-NAc neurons with respect to highly salient stimuli, and to identifying molecular targets for treatment of reward- or aversion-specific psychopathologies.

Temporal and regional regulation of gene expression by calcium-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity during fear memory

Project description:Mice with the two calcium-stmulated adenylyl cyclase isoforms (AC1 and AC8; DKO mice) knocked-out show conditioned fear memory deficits. We assessed gene expression changes at baseline and several time points after conditioned fear learning to assess transcriptional changes at different stages of learning. Transcriptional changes were assessed in the amydgdala and hippocampus of DKO and wild-type mice. Mice either received no treatment (baseline) or were subjected to conditioned fear training (one 0.7mA x 2 sec shock). Amygdala and hippocampal tissue from wild-type and DKO (AC1 and AC8 KO) mice was used. Samples were extracted at baseline (-5 min before conditioned fear training), 0 hr, 1 hr, or 48 hr after a 5 min conditioned fear training trial, or at 1 wk after a 5 min conditioned fear testing trial. RNA samples from 5-10 mice were pooled per array with one array per genotype/brain region/time point for a total of 20 arrays. mRNA was reverese transcribed, labeled and hybridized to Affymetric Mouse Gene ST 1.0 Arrays.
