Fate mapping in mouse demonstrates early secretory differentiation directly from Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells

ABSTRACT: The intestinal epithelium has a remarkably high turnover in homeostasis. It remains unresolved how turnover is orchestrated at the cellular level and how the behaviour of stem and progenitor cells ensures tissue maintenance. To address this, we combined quantitative fate mapping in three complementary mouse models with mathematical modelling and single-cell RNA sequencing. Our integrated approach generated a spatially and temporally defined model of crypt maintenance that is based on two cycling populations: crypt-based columnar (CBC) and transit amplifying (TA) cells. Validation experiments substantiated the predictions from the model revealing TA cells as the major contributor to the absorptive lineage, while balanced CBC cell fate choices controlled the numbers of cells in the secretory lineage. By unravelling these mechanisms, we gain insights into the process of tissue turnover and provide direct evidence to support the notion of CBC cells as the major driver of the intestinal epithelium replenishment.

ZIP7 is indispensable for proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells and maintenance of intestinal stem cells

Project description:Intestinal epithelium are generated by intestinal stem cells, which are recognized morphologically as slender columnar cells at the base of the crypt. Stem cells produce transit-amplifying (TA) cells, which divide a number of times and the daughter cells differentiate into absorptive enterocytes as well as secretory-lineages. Intestinal stem cells highly express Lgr5 which is decreased in TA cells. Here, we show that the zinc transported SLC39A7/ZIP7 is essential for the proliferation of TA cells and maintenance of intestinal stem cells. Lgr5Med TA cells derived from Zip7-deficient mice upregulated the expression of unfold protein responses-related genes including pro-apoptotic genes, indicating of induction of ER stress in these cells. The same effect was seen in Lgr5Hi stem cells derived from Zip7-deficient mice. We conclude that ZIP7 is fundamental to the maintenance of crypt homeostasis by resolving ER stress. Small intestinal crypts were isolated form tamoxifen-treated control (Zip7flox/+, Villin-CreERT2, Lgr5-EGFP-ires-CreERT2) and tamoxifen-treated Zip7â??IEC (Zip7flox/flox, Villin-CreERT2, Lgr5-EGFP-ires-CreERT2) mice. We FACS purified intestinal crypt cells according to their Lgr5 expression levels. RNA was isolated from four FACS sorted cell populations: Lgr5Hi cells and Lgr5Med cells derived from control mice, Lgr5Hi cells and Lgr5Med cells derived from Zip7â??IEC mice. Isolated RNA was analyzed using the Affymetrix platform.

Transcription profiling of mouse intestinal cells expressing Lgr5 at high or low levels or with Ascl2 conditionally knocked out shows Ascl2 controls intestinal stem cell fate

Project description:The small intestinal epithelium is the most rapidly self-renewing tissue of mammals. Proliferative cells are confined to crypts, while differentiated cell types predominantly occupy the villi. We recently demonstrated the existence of a long-lived pool of cycling stem cells defined by Lgr5 expression and intermingled with post-mitotic Paneth cells at crypt bottoms. We have now determined a gene signature for these so called Crypt Base Columnar (CBC) cells. One of the genes within this stem cell signature is the Wnt target Ascl2. Transgenic expression of the Ascl2 transcription factor throughout the intestinal epithelium induces crypt hyperplasia and de novo crypt formation on villi. Induced deletion of the Ascl2 gene in adult small intestine leads to disappearance of the CBC stem cells within days. The combined results from these gain- and loss-of-function experiments imply that Ascl2 controls intestinal stem cell fate. Experiment Overall Design: For the stem cell signature we used cell fractions of intestines from Lgr5-EGFP-ires-CreERT2 mice, expressing GFP under the control of the Lgr5 promoter. RNA was isolated from two FACS sorted cell populations, one expressing GFP at high levels (GFPhi) and the other expressing GFP at low levels (GFPlo). For the analysis of Ascl2 target genes RNA was isolated from intestinal epithelial cells of Ah-Cre/Ascl2floxed/floxed animals and Ah-Cre/Ascl2floxed/wt control animals 3 and 5 days post induction. Differentially labelled cRNA from GFPhi and GFPlo cells from two different sorts (each combining three different mice) were hybridised on 4X44K Agilent Whole Mouse Genome dual colour Microarrays (G4122F) in two dye swap experiments, resulting in four individual arrays. For the Ascl2 target gene analysis we analyzed the 3 and 5 days PI experiments in two dye swap experiments, resulting in four individual arrays.

Single-Cell Transcriptomes of the Regenerating Intestine Reveal a Revival Stem Cell [part 2]

Project description:The weekly turnover of the intestinal epithelium is driven by multipotent, Lgr5+, crypt base columnar cells (CBCs). In response to injury, however, Lgr5+ cells are lost but then re-emerge and are required for successful recovery. How these resurgent Lgr5+ stem cells arise is unclear. We transcriptionally profiled single cells from regenerating intestinal epithelia and identified a unique cell type we term the revival stem cell (rSC). rSCs are mutually exclusive to CBCs and are distinguished by elevated expression of cell survival and DNA repair genes. In homeostasis, rSCs are extremely rare, but nevertheless give rise to all the major cell types of the intestine including crypt-villus axes. After damage rSCs display a 20-fold, Yap-dependent, transient expansion, reconstitute the Lgr5+ CBC compartment and are required to regenerate a functional intestine. These studies define a unique stem cell phenotype that is mobilized by damage to reconstitute the intestinal epithelium.

Isthmus progenitor cells contribute to homeostatic cellular turnover and support regeneration following intestinal injury

Project description:The currently accepted intestinal epithelial cell organization model equates crypt base columnar (CBC) cells, marked by high levels of Lgr5 expression, with the intestinal stem cell (ISC). However, recent intestinal regeneration studies have uncovered limitations of the ‘Lgr5-CBC’ model, leading to two major views: one favoring the presence of a quiescent reserve stem cell population, the other calling for differentiated cell plasticity. To test if an alternative model may help reconcile these perspectives, we studied the hierarchical organization of crypt epithelial cells in an unbiased fashion, by combining high-resolution, single-cell profiling and lineage tracing in multiple transgenic mouse models. These show that Lgr5 is not a specific ISC marker; rather, cells located in the crypt isthmus, which include Lgr5low cells, comprise the ISCs that sustain tissue homeostasis. Following irradiation or intestinal injury, surviving ISCs and progenitors, but not differentiated cells, participate in intestinal regeneration, suggesting that neither de-differentiation nor reserve stem cell populations are drivers of intestinal regeneration. Our results provide a novel viewpoint for the intestinal crypt epithelium, in which ISCs localize to the crypt isthmus, and ISC potential is restricted to stem and progenitor cells.

Expression data from FACS-purified Lgr5-EGFP+ intestinal cells from Ubc9+/+ and Ubc9+/- mice

Project description:The Lgr5+ intestinal stem cell, Paneth and transit-amplifying cell compartment constitute the intestinal crypt which is the constant source of differentiated epithelial cells that replenish the intestinal villi ensuring organ maintenance and regeneration. The Lgr5+ crypt-based columnar (CBC) cells have been identified as the intestinal stem cells (ISCs) and, importantly, as cells-of-origin of intestinal cancer. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in normal ISCs describing a mild downregulation of the sumoylation (post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins by SUMO) imposed by the loss of one allele of the unique E2-conjugating enzyme (Ubc9) of the pathway.

Snai1 regulates cell lineage allocation and stem cell maintenance in the mouse intestinal epithelium

Project description:Conditional knockout of Snai1 in the mouse intestinal epithlium results in apoptotic loss of crypt base columnar cells and bias towards differentiation of secretory lineages. In vitro organoid cultures derived from Snail conditional knockout mice also undergo apoptosis when Snai1 is deleted. Snai1 is required for regulation of lineage choice and maintenance of CBC stem cells.
