Gut epithelium modifies enteric behaviors during nutritional adversity via distinct peptidergic signaling axes

ABSTRACT: Interorgan signaling events are emerging as key regulators of behavioral plasticity. The foregut and hindgut circuits of the C. elegans enteric nervous system (ENS) control feeding and defecation behavior, respectively. Here we show that epithelial cells in the midgut integrate feeding state information to control these behavioral outputs via releasing distinct neuropeptidergic signals. In favorable conditions, insulin and non-insulin peptides released from midgut epithelia activate foregut and hindgut enteric neurons, respectively, to sustain normal feeding and defecation behavior. During food scarcity, altered insulin signaling from sensory neurons activates the transcription factor DAF-16/FoxO in midgut epithelia, which blocks both peptidergic signaling axes to the ENS via transcriptionally shutting down the intestinal neuropeptide secretion machinery. Our findings demonstrate that midgut epithelial cells act as integrators to relay internal state information to distinct parts of the enteric nervous system to control animal behavior.

Avian ceca are required for hindgut enteric nervous system development by promoting enteric neural crest cell proliferation and inhibiting neuronal differentiation via non-canonical Wnt signaling

Project description:The enteric nervous system (ENS), which is derived from enteric neural crest cells (ENCCs) during gut development, represents the neuronal innervation of the gastrointestinal tract and is critical for regulating normal intestinal function. Compromised ENCC migration can lead to Hirschsprung Disease, which is characterized by an aganglionic distal bowel. We find that removal of the ceca, a paired structure present at the midgut-hindgut junction in avian intestine, leads to severe hindgut aganglionosis, suggesting that the ceca are required for ENS development. To test this, we replaced the ceca of embryonic day 6 (E6) wild-type chicks with ceca from transgenic GFP chicks. Interestingly, the entire hindgut ENS arises from the GFP+ ceca-derived ENCC population. Comparative transcriptome profiling of the cecal buds compared to the interceca region shows that the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway is preferentially expressed within the ceca. Specifically, Wnt11 is highly expressed in the ceca, as confirmed by RNA in situ hybridization, leading us to hypothesize that cecal expression of Wnt11 is important for ENCC colonization of the hindgut. Organ cultures were prepared using E6 avian intestine, when ENCCs are migrating through the ceca, and showed that Wnt11 inhibits enteric neuronal differentiation. These results reveal an essential role for the ceca during hindgut ENS formation and highlight an important function for non-canonical Wnt signaling in regulating ENCC differentiation and thereby promoting their migration into the colon.

Loss of enteric neuronal Ndrg4 promotes colorectal cancer via increased release of Nid1 and Fbln2

Project description:The N-Myc Downstream-Regulated Gene 4 (NDRG4), a prominent biomarker for colorectal cancer (CRC), is specifically expressed by enteric neurons. Considering that nerves are important members of the tumor microenvironment, we here establish different Ndrg4 knockout (Ndrg4-/-) CRC models and an in-direct co-culture of primary enteric nervous system (ENS) cells and intestinal organoids to identify whether the ENS, via NDRG4, affects intestinal tumorigenesis. Linking immunostainings and gastrointestinal motility (GI) assays, we show that absence of Ndrg4 does not trigger any functional or morphological GI-abnormalities. However, combining in vivo, in vitro and quantitative proteomics data, we uncover that Ndrg4 knockdown is associated with enlarged intestinal adenoma development and that organoid growth is boosted by the Ndrg4-/- ENS cell secretome, which is enriched for Nidogen-1 (Nid1) and Fibulin-2 (Fbln2). Moreover, NID1 and FBLN2 are expressed in enteric neurons, enhance tumorigenic capacities of CRC cells and are enriched in human CRC secretomes. Hence, we provide evidence that the ENS, via loss of Ndrg4, is involved in colorectal pathogenesis and that ENS-derived Nidogen-1 and Fibulin-2 enhance colorectal carcinogenesis.

Dynamic developmental signaling logic underlying lineage bifurcations during human endoderm induction and patterning from pluripotent stem cells [Expression data set]

Project description:The definitive endoderm germ layer is the provenance of multiple internal organs, including the lungs, liver, pancreas and intestines. Molecular events driving initial endoderm germ layer specification and subsequent anterior-posterior patterning of endoderm into distinct organ primordia remain largely cryptic. Through microarray analyses, we captured genome-wide transcriptional dynamics driving successive stages of endoderm development with the intent of identifying novel regulatory genes or diagnostic markers that respectively drive or mark endoderm committment. HES3 human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were differentiated into highly homogeneous endodermal progenitor populations, and microarray analyses were conducted of six different populations at different tiers of the endodermal lineage hierarchy: undifferentiated hESCs, anterior primitive streak (day 1 of in vitro differentiation), definitive endoderm (day 3) and anterior foregut, posterior foregut or midgut/hindgut patterned endoderm populations (day 7). Additionally, we compared hESCs differentiated using two alternative endoderm induction protocols, serum-based or AFBLy-based differentiation (both day 3 of differentiation).

Maturing an Enteric Nervous System in Human Intestinal Organoid-derived Tissue-Engineered Small Intestine

Project description:Acquired or congenital disruption in enteric nervous system (ENS) development or function can lead to significant mechanical dysmotility. ENS restoration through cellular transplantation may provide a cure for enteric neuropathies. We have previously generated human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived tissue-engineered small intestine (TESI) from human intestinal organoids (HIO). However, HIO-TESI fails to develop an ENS. In a previous report of combined HIO with additional human enteric neural crest cells (ENCC), an ENS was established but lacked maturity. The purpose of our study is to establish a mature ENS derived exclusively from hPSC in HIO-TESI. hPSC-derived ENCC supplementation of HIO-TESI generates ENCC-HIO-TESI with mature submucosal and myenteric ganglia, repopulates excitatory, inhibitory, and sensory neurons, and restores the neuroepithelial circuit and neuron-dependent contractility and relaxation. Our findings validate a novel approach to restoring a functional hPSC-derived ENS in ENCC-HIO-TESI and implicate their potential for the treatment of enteric neuropathies.

Genomic integration of Wnt/b-catenin and BMP/Smad1 coordinates the transcriptional program of foregut and hindgut progenitors [RNA-seq]

Project description:Digestive system development is orchestrated by combinatorial signaling interactions between endoderm and mesoderm, but how they are integrated in the genome is poorly understood. Here we identified the Xenopus foregut and hindgut progenitor transcriptomes, which are largely conserved with mammals. Using RNA-seq and ChIP-seq we show that BMP/Smad1 regulates dorsal-ventral gene expression in both the endoderm and mesoderm, whereas Wnt/b-catenin acts as a genome-wide toggle between foregut and hindgut programs. In addition to b-catenin-Tcf promoting hindgut gene transcription, we unexpectedly observed Wnt-repressed foregut genes associated with b-catenin-binding to DNA lacking Tcf motifs, suggesting a novel direct repression. We define how BMP and Wnt signaling are integrated in the genome with Smad1 and β-catenin co-occupying DNA elements associated with hundreds of key regulatory genes. These results extend our understanding of GI organogenesis and how Wnt and BMP may coordinate genomic responses in other contexts.

Early chromatin shaping predetermines multipotent vagal neural crest into neural, neuronal and mesenchymal lineages

Project description:The enteric nervous system (ENS) predominantly originates from vagal neural crest cells (VNC) that emerge from the caudal hindbrain, invade the foregut and populate the gastrointestinal tract. However, the gene regulatory network (GRN) orchestrating the early specification of VNC remains unknown. Using an EdnrB enhancer, we generated a comprehensive temporal map of the chromatin and transcriptional landscape of VNC in the avian model, revealing three VNC cell clusters (neural, neurogenic and mesenchymal), each predetermined epigenetically prior to neural tube delamination. We identify and functionally validate regulatory cores (Sox10/Tfap2B/SoxB/Hbox) mediating each programme and elucidate their combinatorial activities with other spatiotemporally-specific transcription factors (bHLH/NR). Our global deconstruction of the VNC-GRN in vivo sheds light on critical early regulatory mechanisms that may influence the divergent neural phenotypes in enteric neuropathies.
