Project description:The development and severity of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and other chronic inflammatory conditions can be influenced by host genetic and environmental factors, including signals derived from commensal bacteria. However, the mechanisms that integrate these diverse cues remain undefined. Here we demonstrate that intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) isolated from IBD patients exhibit decreased expression of the epigenome-modifying enzyme histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3). Further, genome-wide analyses of murine IECs that lack HDAC3 (HDAC3?IEC) revealed that HDAC3 deficiency resulted in dysregulated gene expression coupled with alterations in histone acetylation. Critically, conventionally-housed HDAC3?IEC mice demonstrated loss of Paneth cells, impaired IEC function and alterations in the composition of intestinal commensal bacteria. In addition, HDAC3?IEC mice exhibited significantly increased susceptibility to intestinal damage and inflammation, indicating that epithelial expression of HDAC3 plays a central role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Strikingly, rederivation of HDAC3?IEC mice into germ-free conditions revealed that dysregulated IEC gene expression, Paneth cell homeostasis, and intestinal barrier function were largely restored in the absence of commensal bacteria. Collectively, these data indicate that the HDAC3 is a critical factor that integrates commensal bacteria-derived signals to calibrate epithelial cell responses required to establish normal host-commensal relationships and maintain intestinal homeostasis. In this study, we performed gene expression profiling to examine how the transcriptional profiles in primary live, EpCAM+ IECs from the large intestine differed between control HDAC3FF mice (3 biological replicates) and IEC-intrinsic knockout HDAC3?IEC mice (3 biological replicates).

Project description:Histone deacetylases (Hdac) remove acetyl groups from proteins, influencing global and specific gene expression. Hdacs control inflammation, as shown by Hdac inhibitor-dependent protection from DSS-induced murine colitis. While tissue-specific Hdac knockouts show redundant and specific functions, little is known of their intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) role. We have shown previously that dual Hdac1/Hdac2 IEC-specific loss disrupts cell proliferation and determination, with decreased secretory cell numbers and altered barrier function. We thus investigated how compound Hdac1/Hdac2 or Hdac2 IEC-specific deficiency alters the inflammatory response. Floxed Hdac1 and Hdac2 and villin-Cre mice were interbred. Compound Hdac1/Hdac2 IEC-deficient mice showed chronic basal inflammation, with increased basal Disease Activity Index (DAI) and deregulated Reg gene colonic expression. DSS-treated dual Hdac1/Hdac2 IEC-deficient mice displayed increased DAI, histological score, intestinal permeability and inflammatory gene expression. In contrast to double knockouts, Hdac2 IEC-specific loss did not affect IEC determination and growth, nor result in chronic inflammation. However, Hdac2 disruption protected against DSS colitis, as shown by decreased DAI, intestinal permeability and caspase-3 cleavage. Hdac2 IEC-specific deficient mice displayed increased expression of IEC gene subsets, such as colonic antimicrobial Reg3b and Reg3g mRNAs, and decreased expression of immune cell function-related genes. Our data show that Hdac1 and Hdac2 are essential IEC homeostasis regulators. IEC-specific Hdac1 and Hdac2 may act as epigenetic sensors and transmitters of environmental cues and regulate IEC-mediated mucosal homeostatic and inflammatory responses. Different levels of IEC Hdac activity may lead to positive or negative outcomes on intestinal homeostasis during inflammation Total RNAs from the colon of three control and three Hdac2 IEC-specific knockout mice were isolated with the Rneasy kit (Qiagen, Mississauga, ON, Canada).

Project description:Death of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) is important in the pathological process of intestinal inflammatory diseases. TNF acts as one pathogenic driver for inducing IEC death and substantial intestinal inflammation. However, the physiological protective mechanisms for suppressing TNF-induced IEC death remain poorly understood. Here, we report that EF-hand domain-containing protein D2 (EFHD2), highly expressed in normal intestine tissues but decreased in intestinal biopsy samples of ulcerative colitis patients, protects the intestinal epithelium from TNF-induced IEC apoptosis. EFHD2 inhibits TNF-induced apoptosis in primary IECs and intestinal organoids (enteroids). Mice deficient of Efhd2 in IECs exhibit excessive IEC death and exacerbated experimental colitis. Mechanistically, EFHD2 interacts with Cofilin to suppress the phosphorylation of Cofilin, leading to the inhibition of TNF receptor Ⅰ (TNFR1) internalization and TNF-induced apoptosis. Our findings define EFHD2 as an endogenous suppressor of IEC death to protect intestine inflammation, providing new insight to the regulation of death receptor signaling and control of intestinal inflammatory diseases.

Project description:The microenvironment of injured mucosa has important effects on intestinal stem cell self-renewal and reconstruction of epithelial barrier function in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the precise status of the interactions between intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) injury, particularly intestinal crypt absence, and microenvironment in IBD is not completely understood. We identified miR-494-3p as important for protection of colonic stemness in intestinal inflammation colonic organoid culture. A novel cytokine-cytokine receptor, EDA-A2/EDA2R, could suppress colonic stemness and epithelial repair during IBD. During intestinal inflammation, high level of LP macrophage-derived EDA-A2 inhibited the nuclear β-catenin/c-Myc axis and organoid growth by targeting EDA2R in colonic crypt stem cells. We further demonstrated that the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 are capable of stimulating macrophages to release EDA-A2 during colitis. Secondly, we identified the cross-talk among IECs, colonic crypts, and lamina propria (LP) macrophages in miR-494-3p-mediated colitis. Furthermore, our study showed that miR-494-3p deficiency in IECs promoted LP macrophage recruitment and M1 activation in DSS-induced colitis mice. In addition, we identified miR-494-3p as critical to dampening IEC injury; specifically, miR-494-3p inhibited inflammation-induced IKKβ/NF-κB activation by targeting the IKKβ 3’UTR in IECs. As such, administration of adequate amounts of a miR-494-3p agomire attenuate colitis in vivo. Consistent with this inference, we showed that miR-494-3p levels were decreased in colonic crypts and serum in colitis mice, and loss of miR-494 potentiated the severity of colonic colitis. Our clinical data on the interactions between miR-494-3p levels in serum exosomes & colonic tissues and associated outcomes support the clinical relevance of miR-494-3p in IBD. The miR-494-3p agomir system, which we designed permits local delivery in vivo in this study, significantly ameliorated the severity of colonic colitis. Our findings no only uncover a miR-494-3p-mediated cross-talk mechanism by which inflamed colonic LP macrophages integrate signals from IECs to regulate colonic stemness and colonic epithelial repair/homeostasis. The miR-494-3p agomir may serve as a potential therapeutic approach in IBD.

Project description:The role of Tfr1 in non-erythroid tissues remains elusive due to the embryonic lethality of the Tfr1 global knockout mouse model. To bypass this problem, we generated a mouse model in which Tfr1 was conditionally deleted in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). These mice developed severe IEC disruption, characterized by blunted villi, edema, loss of proliferative intervillus IECs, accumulation of lipids, and early neonatal lethality. Strikingly, a wide range of genes associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition were highly upregulated in IEC lacking Tfr1. Additionally, candidate vesicular transport and sorting genes implicated in lipid absorption and trafficking were downregulated. Surprisingly, the presence of a mutant allele of Tfr1, which is unable to bind to iron-loaded transferrin, was capable of rescuing the lethality, intestinal epithelial homeostasis, and proliferation in a majority of the Tfr1 conditional knockout mice. 9 samples (3 wildtype, 3 knockout, 3 rescue) were prepared from the intestinal epithelial cells isolated from the small intestine and proximal colon.

Project description:STAT3 is a pleiotropic transcription factor with important functions in cytokine signalling in a variety of tissues. However, the role of STAT3 in the intestinal epithelium is not well understood. Here we demonstrate that development of colonic inflammation is associated with the induction of STAT3 activity in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). Studies in genetically engineered mice showed that epithelial STAT3 activation in DSS colitis is dependent on IL-22 rather than IL-6. IL-22 was secreted by colonic CD11c+ cells in response to Toll-like receptor stimulation. Conditional knockout mice with an IEC specific deletion of STAT3 activity were highly susceptible to experimental colitis, indicating that epithelial STAT3 regulates gut homeostasis. STAT3IEC-KO mice, upon induction of colitis, showed a striking defect of epithelial restitution. Gene chip analysis indicated that STAT3 regulates the cellular stress response, apoptosis and pathways associated with wound healing in IEC. Consistently, both IL-22 and epithelial STAT3 were found to be important in wound-healing experiments in vivo. In summary, our data suggest that intestinal epithelial STAT3 activation regulates immune homeostasis in the gut by promoting IL-22-dependent mucosal wound healing. 4 samples of colon epithelium were analyzed from 4 mice (2 per group Stat3flfl VillinCre- and Stat3flfl VillinCre+, respectively) after they had been treated with DSS (2.5%) for 5 days
