Terminal differentiation of villus-tip enterocytes is governed by distinct members of Tgfb superfamily

ABSTRACT: The protective and absorptive functions of the intestinal epithelium rely on differentiated enterocytes in the villi. The differentiation of enterocytes is orchestrated by sub-epithelial mesenchymal cells producing distinct ligands along the villus axis, in particular Bmps and Tgf. Here we show that individual Bmp ligands and Tgf drive distinct enterocytic programs specific to villus zonation. Bmp4 is expressed mainly from the centre to the upper part of the villus, and it activates preferentially genes connected to lipid uptake and metabolism. In contrast, Bmp2 is produced by villus-tip mesenchymal cells, and it influences the adhesive properties of villus-tip epithelial cells and the expression of antimicrobial peptides. Hence, Bmp2 promotes the terminal enterocytic differentiation at the villus-tip. Additionally, Tgf induces an epithelial gene expression programs similar to that triggered by Bmp2. The inhibition of Bmp receptor type I in vivo and using intestinal organoids lacking Smad4 revealed that Bmp2-driven villus-tip program is activated by a canonical Smad-dependent mechanism. Finally, we established an organoid cultivation system that enriches for villus-tip enterocytes and thereby better mimics the cellular composition of the intestinal epithelium. Altogether our data suggest that not only Bmp gradient, but also the activity of individual Bmp drives specific enterocytic programs.

Transcriptomes of adult sorted Epcam+ CD44- enterocytes from small intestine of wildtype and CmafLEC-KO mice

Project description:Small intestinal villi are highly specialized structural and functional units uniquely adapted to the absorption of nutrients in higher vertebrates. Intestinal villus enterocytes are organized in spatially resolved “zones” dedicated to specialized tasks, such as anti-bacterial protection, and absorption of amino-acids, carbohydrates and lipids. However, the molecular mechanisms for the establishment and maintenance of villus intestinal epithelial zonation are incompletely understood. Here, we show that transcription factor C-Maf is highly expressed in mature lower and mid-villus small intestinal enterocytes, where it is induced in response to BMP signaling. In vivo depletion of C-Maf in the adult enterocytes perturbed the villus epithelial zonation transcriptional program and enhanced the expression of genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism and bile acid regulation and transport, while suppressing genes related to amino acid transport and lipid metabolism. Loss of C-Maf under homeostatic conditions had no effect on body weight due to compensatory small intestinal remodeling, accompanied by increased generation of tuft cells and goblet cell hyperplasia. However, upon challenge with anti-metabolite therapy, C-Maf inactivation impaired body weight recovery, resulting in reduced survival, due to delayed enterocyte maturation. Our results identify a novel role for C-Maf in maintaining the zonation program of differentiated intestinal epithelium, by balancing absorptive versus secretory cell differentiation in the small intestine, while highlighting the importance of coordination between stem/progenitor cell and enterocyte differentiation programs for intestinal regeneration.

ARID3A coordinates the proliferation-differentiation switch of transit-amplifying cells in the intestine

Project description:Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) at the crypt base divide and give rise to progenitor cells that have the capacity to proliferate and differentiate into various mature epithelial cell types in the transit-amplifying (TA) zone. Here, we identified the transcription factor ARID3A as a novel regulator of intestinal epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation at the TA compartment. We show that ARID3A forms an expression gradient from villus tip to the early progenitors at the crypts mediated by TGF-β and WNT signalling. Intestinal epithelial-specific deletion of Arid3a reduces proliferation of TA cells. Bulk and single cell transcriptomic analysis shows increased enterocyte differentiation and reduced secretory cells in the Arid3a cKO intestine. Interestingly, upper-villus gene signatures of both enterocytes and secretory cells are enriched in the mutant intestine. We find that the enhanced enterocyte differentiation in the Arid3a cKO intestine is caused by increased binding of HNF1 and HNF4. Finally, we show that loss of Arid3a impairs irradiation-induced regenerative process by altering the dynamics of proliferation and apoptosis. Our findings imply that ARID3A may play a gatekeeping role in the TA compartment to maintain the “just-right” proliferation-to-differentiation ratio for tissue homeostasis and plasticity

Gene expression in intestinal epithelial crypt and villus cell populations

Project description:We analyzed gene expression profiles in isolated mouse LGR5+ intestinal stem cells, lineage-specific enterocyte and secretory progenitors, and terminally differentiated villus enterocytes. Gene Ontology analyses of cell type-specific transcripts indicated their expected biological functions. We hybridized Affmetrix 430A 2.0 mouse microarrays with processed RNA isolated from purified Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells, secretory (Sec-Pro) and enterocyte (Ent-Pro) crypt progenitors, and mature villus enterocytes (ENT).

Transcriptome profiling of T84 colorectal carcinoma cells treated with receptor guanylyl cyclace C agonist (stable toxin)

Project description:Receptor guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C) is expressed in the intestinal epithelia and plays a key role in intestinal physiology. Activation of GC-C by its ligands has been shown to regulate proliferation and differentiation of enterocytes along the crypt-villus axis. This study aims to identify genes regulated by GC-C activation and elevation of cGMP in colorectal carcinoma cells. This will help understand the molecular targets and biological pathways regulated by GC-C to bring about cancer cell cytostasis. ST (Cy5) Vs. Control (Cy3), ST (Cy5) Vs. Control (Cy3)

Expression profiles of villus and crypt layers of large intestine from C57Bl/6, Apc1638N+/-, and p21-/- mice.

Project description:Expression profiles obtained from the villus and crypt layers of murine large intestine can elucidate the process of differentiation undergone by epithelial cells as they migrate from the undifferentiated bottom of the crypt to the villus tip before being shed into the intestinal lumen. This series includes profiles from wild type mice, as well as mice harboring mutations in genes (APC and p21) which play key roles in the differentiation process. We used microarrays to characterize gene expression profiles at the base of the crypt and at the villus tip of the lumenal layer of the large intestine in order to better understand the process of differentiation and eventual shedding undergone by cells of the large intestinal epithelium. Four wild type, four APC1638+/- and four p21-/- mice were sacrified and the large intestines dissected out. Cells from the villus tip and from the bottom of the crypt were isolated from the lumenal face of the each large intestine using the Weiser method of sequential elution. RNA was extracted from each eluted sample and used to hybridize to Affymetrix 3' expression arrays.

Spatial reconstruction of single enterocytes uncovers broad zonation along the intestinal villus axis

Project description:The intestinal epithelium is a highly structured tissue composed of repeating crypt-villus units. Enterocytes, which constitute the most abundant cell type, perform the diverse tasks of absorbing a wide range of nutrients while protecting the body from the harsh bacterial-rich environment. It is unknown if these tasks are equally performed by all enterocytes or whether they are spatially zonated along the villus axis. Here, we performed whole-transcriptome measurements of laser-capture-microdissected villus segments to extract a large panel of landmark genes, expressed in a zonated manner. We used these genes to localize single sequenced enterocytes along the villus axis, thus reconstructing a global spatial expression map. We found that most enterocyte genes were zonated. Enterocytes at villi bottoms expressed an anti-bacterial Reg gene program in a microbiome-dependent manner, potentially reducing the crypt pathogen exposure. Translation, splicing and respiration genes steadily decreased in expression towards the villi tops, whereas distinct mid-top villus zones sub-specialized in the absorption of carbohydrates, peptides and fat. Enterocytes at the villi tips exhibited a unique gene-expression signature consisting of Klf4, Egfr, Neat1, Malat1, cell adhesion and purine metabolism genes. Our study exposes broad spatial heterogeneity of enterocytes, which could be important for achieving their diverse tasks.
