Project description:The molecular mechanisms controlling stem cell renewal and lineage commitment are still poorly understood due to lack of reliable markers. In the adult small intestine, an example of high rate self-renewing tissue, four different epithelial cell lineages (enterocytes, Goblet, enteroendocrine and Paneth cells) are generated from a pool of stem cells localised at the bottom of the crypts of Lieberkühn. Recently, the orphan Leucine-rich repeat G protein-coupled receptor 5 (GPR49), a target of Wnt signalling, has been proposed as a marker for such cells. We investigated the role of LGR5 during intestinal development by using LGR5 null/LacZ-NeoR knock-in mice. We show that LGR5 deficiency leads to premature Paneth cell differentiation. X-gal staining on E18.5 intestine revealed that LGR5 expression is restricted to a few cells clustered within the intervillus region known to contain progenitor cells. In LGR5-null mice, expression from the LGR5 promoter was found upregulated, suggesting a loss of negative feedback control. However, neither epithelial cell proliferation nor cell migration appeared significantly impaired by LGR5 deficiency. Finally, transcriptional profiling of ileal mutant mice suggests that LGR5 plays a role in regulating the Wnt and Notch signalling pathways controlling progenitor renewal and differentiation.

Project description:Although Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells have been expanded in vitro as organoids, homogeneous culture of these cells has not been possible so far. Here we show that two small molecules, CHIR99021 and valproic acid, synergistically maintain self-renewal of mouse Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells, resulting in nearly homogeneous cultures. The colony-forming efficiency of cells from these cultures is ~100-fold greater than that of cells cultured in the absence of CHIR99021 and valproic acid, and multilineage differentiation ability is preserved. We made use of these homogeneous cultures to identify conditions employing simultaneous modulation of Wnt and Notch signaling to direct lineage differentiation into mature enterocytes, goblet cells and Paneth cells. Expansion in these culture conditions may be feasible for Lgr5+ cells from the mouse stomach and colon and from the human small intestine. These methods provide new tools for the study and application of multiple intestinal epithelial cell types. Total RNA was isolated from two independently established wild-type mouse small intestinal organoid lines after culture for 6 days in control condition or in the presence of CHIR99021, Valproic Acid (VPA) or both compounds. cRNA was labeled with Cy5 and hybridized against Cy3 labeled cRNA from control organoids (as an internal reference) on 4X44K Agilent Whole Mouse Genome dual colour Microarrays (G4122F), resulting in eight individual arrays.

Project description:we find METTL3 associates with polyribosomes and promotes translation. METTL3 depletion inhibits translation, and both wild-type and catalytically inactive METTL3 promote translation when tethered to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of a reporter mRNA. Mechanistically, METTL3 enhances mRNA translation through an interaction with the translation initiation machinery. m6A seq in A549 and H1299 cells, RNA seq in METTL3 knockdown cells

Project description:Liver-specific deficiency of Mettl3 causes liver injury. By performing RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis on the Mettl3-deficient versus control livers, we identified the potential target genes that were closely associated with the liver phenotype in liver-specific Mettl3 knockout mice. RNA-seq analysis revealed extensive metabolic reprogramming in Mettl3-deficient livers. These results demonstrated that Mettl3 coordinates metabolic homeostasis and functional maturation during postnatal liver development.

Project description:The Lgr5 receptor is a marker of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) that regulates Wnt/b-catenin signaling. In this study, phenotype analysis of knockin/knockout Lgr5-eGFP-IRES-Cre and Lgr5-DTReGFP embryos revealed that Lgr5 deficiency during Wnt-mediated cytodifferentiation results in amplification of ISCs and early differentiation into Paneth cells, which can be counteracted by in utero treatment with the Wnt inhibitor LGK974. Conditional ablation of Lgr5 postnatally, but not in adults, altered stem cell fate towards the Paneth lineage. Together, these in vivo studies suggest that Lgr5 is part of a feedback loop to adjust the Wnt tone in ISCs. Moreover, transcriptome analyses revealed that Lgr5 controls fetal ISC maturation associated with acquisition of a definitive stable epithelial phenotype, that depends on the capacity of ISCs to generate their own extracellular matrix. Finally, using the ex vivo culture system, evidences are provided that Lgr5/Rspondin 2 interaction negatively regulates the pool of ISCs in organoids, revealing a sophisticated regulatory process for Wnt signaling in ISC.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase METTL3 mainly mediates mRNA m6A methylation and plays important roles in various biological processes. Here we report a chromatin-based role for METTL3 in heterochromatin integrity regulation in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). We show that in mESCs METTL3 predominantly localizes to one of the most active endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) families, the intracisternal A-type particles (IAPs). We further show that METTL3 knockout (KO) impairs deposition of multiple heterochromatin marks on METTL3-targeted IAPs, and upregulates IAP transcription without affecting the stability of the resulting RNAs. De-repression can be rescued by wildtype but not catalytically inactive METTL3, suggesting that METTL3-mediated methylation is important for heterochromatin silencing. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that METTL3 physically interacts with the H3K9 tri-methyltransferase SETDB1 and its regulator TRIM28, and reciprocally promote each other’s localization to IAPs. Importantly, we show that m6A catalytical activity of METTL3 is necessary for its own recruitment to chromatin but not its interactions with SETDB1 and TRIM28. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that RNA m6A modification mediated by METTL3 is important for IAP heterochromatin integrity in mESCs.
