Project description:Differentiation and specialisation of epithelial cells in the small intestine is regulated in two ways. First, there is differentiation along the crypt-villus axis of the intestinal stem cells into absorptive enterocytes, Paneth, goblet, tuft, enteroendocrine or M-cells, which is mainly regulated by WNT. Second, there is specialization along the cephalocaudal axis with different absorptive and digestive functions in duodenum, jejunum and ileum that is controlled by several transcription factors such as GATA4. However, so far it is unknown whether location-specific functional properties are intrinsically programmed within stem cells or if continuous signalling from mesenchymal cells is necessary to maintain the location-specific identity of the small intestine. By using the pure epithelial organoid technique, we show that region-specific gene expression profiles are conserved throughout long-term cultures of both mouse and human intestinal stem cells and correlated with differential Gata4 expression. Furthermore, the human organoid culture system demonstrates that Gata4-regulated gene expression is only allowed in absence of WNT signalling. These data show that location-specific function is intrinsically programmed in the adult stem cells of the small intestine and that their differentiation fate is independent of location-specific extracellular signals. In light of the potential future clinical application of small intestine-derived organoids, our data imply that it is important to generate GATA4-positive and GATA4-negative cultures to regenerate all essential functions of the small intestine.

Project description:We generated knock-in mice expressing GFP under the control of the endogenous GIP (Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide) promoter that enable the isolation of a purified population of small intestine K cells. Using RNA-Seq, we comprehensively characterized the transcriptomes of GIP-GFP cells as well as the entire enteroendocrine lineage derived from Neurogenin3 (Ngn3)-expressing progenitors. We interrogated the whole transcriptome of FACS-isolated small intestine GIPGFP cells using high-throughput mRNA sequencing. We also obtained the global gene expression patterns of the entire enteroendocrine cell lineage as well as the non-enteroendocrine cell population, comprising enterocytes, goblet cells and Paneth cells. To achieve this, small intestine epithelial cells from male mice resulting from the breeding of Neurogenin3 (Ngn3)-Cre mice with ROSA26-LoxP-STOP-LoxP-tomato indicator mice were isolated based on Tomato fluorescence and negative staining for CD45. Due to the small cell numbers, we constructed each of the three RNA-Seq libraries (GIPGFP, Ngn3TOMATO, and Ngn3-) using a pool of equal amounts of individual RNA samples without RNA amplification.

Project description:Analysis of FACS-sorted intestinal Neurog3+/+ and Neurog3+/- cells from Neurog3 fluorencent reporter mice carrying two-(+/+) or one- (+/-) Neurog3 alleles. In the intestine, Neurog3 is an enteroendocrine (EE) lineage determinating transcription factor that transiently expressed in early EEC progenitors. By comparison the molecular profiles of Neurog3+/+ and Neurog3+/- cells, we hypothesized that Neurog3 gene dosage regulates the allocation of EE progenitor fates towards EEC vs. goblet cells.

Project description:Significant progress has been recently achieved in generating in vitro human small intestine models. Nonetheless, there remains ample opportunity for enhancement, both in terms of structure and function, within the current model. In this study, our objective is to construct a multilayered small intestinal tissue composed of an intestinal epithelium, supportive mesenchymal cells, and an extracellular matrix. We developed a multilayered small intestinal tissue by differentiating human induced pluripotent stem cells on a microfluidic device capable of replicating interstitial flow. Under the interstitial flow exposure, a three-dimensional villus-like epithelium and mature intestinal epithelial cells, including polarized enterocytes or goblet cells, were observed in the small intestine tissue-on-a-chips. Further analysis revealed that intestinal fibroblasts and collagen fiber are localized to the basolateral side of the intestinal epithelium. Moreover, we confirmed that small intestine tissue-on-a-chips are useful for pharmaceutical and infectious disease research. Our small intestine tissue-on-a-chips not only overcome the limitations of conventional small intestine models but also offer a unique opportunity to understand the mechanisms underlying intestinal tissue development.

Project description:MicroRNA-mediated regulation is critical for the proper development and function of the small intestinal epithelium. However, it is not yet known which microRNAs are expressed in which cell types of the small intestinal epithelium. To bridge this important knowledge gap, in this study we performed a comprehensive profiling analysis of microRNAs in all major epithelial cell types of the mouse small intestine. We first used flow cytometry and fluorescence activated cell sorting with multiple different reporter mouse models to isolate intestinal stem cells (ISCs), enterocytes, goblet cells, Paneth cells, enteroendocrine cells (EECs), tuft cells and secretory progenitor cells. We then subjected these cell populations to small RNA-seq. We identified highly enriched microRNA markers for every major small intestinal epithelial cell type except goblet cells. Interestingly, one of the secretory progenitor cell enriched microRNAs, miR-672, is deleted in hominin species. Several of these lineage-enriched microRNAs (LEMs) were observed to be embedded in annotated host genes. We used chromatin run-on sequencing (ChRO-seq) to determine which of these LEMs are likely co-transcribed with their host genes. We then employed single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) in order to define the cell type specificity of the host genes, and by proxy, the LEMs as well. Finally, using four additional in vivo models, we validated that miR-375 is highly enriched in secretory progenitor cells that give rise to enteroendocrine and tuft cells and that miR-152 is a Paneth cell-specific microRNA.

Project description:The small intestinal crypts harbour secretory Paneth cells (PCs), which express bactericidal peptides that are crucial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Considering the diverse environmental conditions throughout the course of the small intestine, multiple subtypes of PCs are expected to exist. We applied single cells RNA-sequencing of PCs combined with deep bulk RNA-sequencing on PC populations of different locations (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) and discovered several expression-based clusters. Some of these are discrete and resemble tuft cell-like PCs, goblet cell-like PCs, PCs expressing stem cell markers, and senescent PCs. Other clusters are less discrete, but based on bulk RNA-seq appear to be derived from different locations along the small intestinal tract. Furthermore, a comprehensive spatial analysis was conducted using the Resolve bioscience technique, identifying different PCs clusters along the small intestine, but not along the crypts themselves.

Project description:In vitro 2D cultures of intestinal epithelial cells or epithelial cell lines have been widely used to study cell function and host-pathogen interactions in the bovine intestine. However, these cultures lack the cellular diversity encountered in the intestinal epithelium, and the physiological relevance of monocultures of transformed cell lines is uncertain. Little is also known of the factors that influence cell differentiation and homeostasis in the bovine intestinal epithelium, and few cell-specific markers that can distinguish the different intestinal epithelial cell lineages have been reported. Here we describe a simple and reliable procedure to establish in vitro 3D enteroid, or “mini gut”, cultures from bovine small intestinal (ileal) crypts. These enteroids contained a continuous central lumen lined with a single layer of polarized enterocytes, bound by tight junctions with abundant microvilli on their apical surfaces. Histological and transcriptional analyses suggested that the enteroids comprised a mixed population of intestinal epithelial cell lineages including intestinal stem cells, enterocytes, Paneth cells, goblet cells and enteroendocrine cells. We show that bovine enteroids can be successfully maintained long-term through multiple serial passages without observable changes to their growth characteristics, morphology or transcriptome. Furthermore, the bovine enteroids can be cryopreserved and viable cultures recovered from frozen stocks. Our data suggest that these 3D bovine enteroid cultures represent a novel, physiologically-relevant and tractable in vitro system in which epithelial cell differentiation and function, and host-pathogen interactions in the bovine small intestine can be studied.

Project description:The intestinal epithelium undergoes differentiation into multiple cell types and undergoes rapid cellular turnover. The Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a sensor of small molecules found either in the diet or due to microbiota metabolism. Ahr and Cyp1a1 exhibits the highest expression in the duodenum. Germ-free mice display similar levels of Cyp1a1 expression suggesting that in mice diet is the primary source of AHR activation potential. The lack of AHR expression alters; the rate of transit down the small intestine, barrier function, and proliferative index. In Ahr-/- mouse duodenum there is also a decrease in goblet cells, mucin levels and expression of gene expression linked to epithelial cell differentiation. AHR activation with indolo[3,2b]carbazole or broccoli; increases expression of differentiation markers, decreases epithelial proliferative index and increases goblet cell number. Math1 and Klf4 are AHR target genes that are linked to development of the secretory cell linkage. Collectively, our study indicates that dietary activation of the AHR leads to altered epithelial programing leading to increased goblet cells and decreased cell shedding.
