Project description:Proliferation of the self-renewing epithelium of the gastric corpus occurs almost exclusively in the isthmus of the glands, from where cells migrate bi-directionally towards pit and base. The isthmus is therefore generally viewed as the stem cell zone. We find that the stem cell marker Troy is expressed at the gland base by a small subpopulation of chief cells. By lineage tracing using a Troy-eGFP-ires-CreERT2 allele, single marked cells are shown to generate entirely labeled gastric units over periods of months. This phenomenon accelerates upon tissue damage. Troy+ chief cells can be cultured to generate long-lived gastric organoids. Troy marks a specific, 'plastic' subset of differentiated chief cells capable of replenishing entire gastric units, essentially serving as a quiescent ‘reserve’ stem cell. An EGFP-ires-CreERT2 cassette was introduced into the transcriptional start side of Tnfrsf19 (Troy), resulting in the expression of EGFP and CreERT2 under the control of endogenous Troy-regulatory sequences. Troy is expressed in basally located chief and parietal cells. Using FACS, Troy positive chief and parietal cells can be isolated separately. Expression profiling was performed on these two cell types: three arrays of sorted chief cells, two arrays of sorted parietal cells. As a reference, two arrays of separately isolated whole gastric corpus glands were added. In addition, single sorted Troy positive chief cells can be placed in culture, forming 3D cultures called organoids. Three arrays were generated from different organoid cultures, one time in normal medium containing the factors EGF, Gastrin, FGF10, Noggin, Wnt3a and Rspondin (EGFNWR medium) and one time in medium containing only EGF and Rspondin (ER medium).

Project description:The purpose of this single cell experiment is to compare and characterize at molecular level actively cycling stem cells in the isthmus and quiescent stem cells in the base of the mouse stomach corpus. The lineage tracing data from Stmn1-CreERT2 shows that Stmn1+ cells in the corpus isthmus include fast dividing isthmus stem cells with long-term potency. On the other hand, chief cells including Lgr5+ subpopulation can play as quiescent stem cells in the base that are largely quiescent in homeostasis, but are activated upon injury. The isthmus stem cells and chief cells are isolated by Stmn1 and Pgc, respectively, and were subject to single cell RNA-seq experiment.

Project description:The glandular stomach is comprised of two anatomically and functionally distinct epithelial tissues termed corpus and antrum. While these compartments continuously regenerate to ensure normal organ function, our understanding of the molecular and cellular determinants that maintain these tissues remains incomplete. Here, we established an unbiased account of all gastric epithelial cells of the mouse corpus and antrum using single cell RNA-sequencing, allowing us to compare these adjacent epithelia and their stem cell compartments. Our data reveals that epithelial cell types with equivalent functional roles in the corpus and antrum utilize similar transcriptional programs, and our results support the existence of two discernible stem cell populations within the gland base and isthmus regions of these tissues. To study isthmus stem cells, typically underrepresented in conventional, gland base-enriched organoid cultures, we developed a novel 2D monolayer culture system to propagate mouse and human gastric epithelia. These 2D cultures expand indefinitely via Lgr5- isthmus-like cells and maintain the ability to differentiate into diverse gastric cell types. While 2D corpus and antrum cultures were transcriptionally similar, they retained a molecular memory and differentiation bias that mirrored their tissue of origin. Furthermore, gastric 2D cultures could be readily and reversibly converted into conventional 3D organoids, highlighting the remarkable plasticity of undifferentiated stomach epithelial cells. Finally, we utilized the 2D culture system to show that rare primary epithelial cells with high levels of Sox2 expression, previously hypothesized to be gastric stem cells, most closely resembled enterochromaffin (EC) cells and Sox2 is both necessary and sufficient to generate EC cells in vivo. Together, our data (i) provide important insights into the basis of gastric epithelial regeneration and differentiation, (ii) establish a tractable 2D culture system to capture and manipulate primary gastric isthmus stem cells in vitro and (iii) uncover a role for the stem cell factor Sox2 during EC cell specification.

Project description:Mist1+ cells and parietal cells in mouse stomach were separatedly sorted, and RNAs were isolated. Mist1 (also known as Bhlha15) is expressed in gastric chief cells and gastric stem cells in mice. However, more specific genes for each population needs to be identified to better understand the precise biology in these cell populations. In order to address cell specific gene signature, we separately sorted Mist1+ gastric chief cells and Mist1+ gastric stem cells by FACS, and performed microarray analysis. Mist1+ gastric chief cells were sorted by using Mist1-CreERT; R26-TdTomato mouse stomach, immediately after tamoxifen administration. Mist1+ gastric stem cells were sorted by chief cell-ablated Mist1-CreERT; R26-TdTomato mouse stomach, combining with Lgr5-DTR mice. Lgr5-expressing chief cells were ablated by giving DT into these mice. As a control, acid-secreting gastric parietal cell samples were used. Mice were treated with or without Lgr5-DT ablation before sorting.

Project description:The Wnt target gene Lgr5 marks cycling stem cells in the small intestine, colon and hair-follicle. In the adult stomach, Lgr5 expression is confined to 3-4 proliferating cells at the gland base throughout the pylorus and limited numbers of corpus-type glands adjacent to the esophagus and squamous forestomach. In-vivo lineage tracing reveals that the pyloric Lgr5+ve cells rapidly generate all the major cell-types present in the gastric epithelium and maintain this multipotent stem cell activity over at least 20 months. In-vitro, single adult Lgr5+ve cells efficiently generate gastric units closely resembling mature pyloric glands. We conclude that Lgr5 is marking an active stem cell population at the base of the pyloric glands contributing to the long-term renewal of the adult gastric epithelium. The transcriptome of the adult Lgr5+ve stem cells harbors multiple Wnt target genes, implying a role for Wnt signaling in regulating pyloric stem cell function in-vivo. Conditional deletion of APC in these Lgr5+ve stem cells rapidly initiates tumor formation, supporting a potential role for aberrant Wnt signaling activity in gastric cancer.

Project description:Background & Aims: Metaplasia and dysplasia in the corpus are reportedly derived from dedifferentiation of chief cells. However, the cellular origin of metaplasia and cancer remained uncertain. Therefore, we investigated whether pepsinogen Ctranscript expressing cells (PGC-transcript expressing cells) represent the cellular origin of metaplasia and cancer using a novel Pgc-specific CreERT2 recombinase mouse model. Methods: We generated a Pgc-mCherry-IRES-CreERT2 (Pgc-CreERT2) knock-in mouse model. Pgc-CreERT2/+ and Rosa-EYFP mice were crossed to generate PgcCreERT2/Rosa-EYFP (Pgc-CreERT2/YFP) mice. Gastric tissues were collected, followed by lineage-tracing experiments, histological and immunofluorescence staining. We further established Pgc-CreERT2;Kras G12D/+ mice and investigated whether PGCtranscript expressing cells are responsible for the precancerous state in gastric glands. To investigate cancer development from PGC-transcript expressing cells with activated Kras, inactivated Apc and Trp53 signaling pathways, we crossed Pgc-CreERT2/+ mice with conditional KrasG12D , Apcflox , Trp53 flox mice. Results: Expectedly, mCherry mainly labeled chief cells in the Pgc-CreERT2 mice. However, mCherry was also detected throughout the neck cell and isthmal stem/progenitor regions, albeit at lower levels. In the Pgc-CreERT2;Kras G12D/+ mice, PGC-transcript expressing cells with Kras G12D/+ mutation presented pseudopyloric metaplasia. The early induction of proliferation at the isthmus may reflect the ability of isthmal progenitors to react rapidly to Pgc-driven Kras G12D/+ oncogenic mutation. Furthermore, Pgc-CreERT2;KrasG12D/+ ;Apc flox/flox mice presented intramucosal dysplasia/carcinoma, while Pgc-CreERT2;KrasG12D/+ ;Apcflox/flox ;Trp53 flox/flox mice presented invasive and metastatic gastric carcinoma. Conclusions: The Pgc-CreERT2 knock-in mouse is an invaluable tool to study the effects of successive oncogenic activation in the mouse corpus. Time-course observations can be made regarding the responses of isthmal and chief cells to oncogenic insults. We can observe stomach-specific tumorigenesis from the beginning to metastatic development.

Project description:Objective: Tissue stem cells are central regulators of organ homeostasis. We looked for a protein that is exclusively expressed and functionally involved in stem cell activity in rapidly proliferating isthmus stem cells in the stomach corpus. Design: We uncovered the specific expression of Iqgap3 in proliferating isthmus stem cells through immunofluorescence and in situ hybridization. We performed lineage tracing and transcriptomic analysis of Iqgap3+ isthmus stem cells with the Iqgap3-2A-tdTomato mouse model. Depletion of Iqgap3 revealed its functional importance in maintenance and proliferation of stem cells. We further studied Iqgap3 expression and the associated gene expression changes during tissue repair after tamoxifen-induced damage. Immunohistochemistry revealed elevated expression of Iqgap3 in proliferating regions of gastric tumors from patient samples. Results: Iqgap3 is a highly specific marker of proliferating isthmus stem cells during homeostasis. Iqgap3+ isthmus stem cells give rise to major cell types of the corpus unit. Iqgap3 expression is essential for the maintenance of stem potential. The Ras pathway is a critical partner of Iqgap3 in promoting strong proliferation in isthmus stem cells. The robust induction of Iqgap3 expression following tissue damage indicates an active role for Iqgap3 in tissue regeneration. Conclusion: IQGAP3 is a major regulator of stomach epithelial tissue homeostasis and repair. The upregulation of IQGAP3 in gastric cancer suggests that IQGAP3 plays an important role in cancer cell proliferation.

Project description:Continuous regeneration of digestive enzyme (zymogen) secreting chief cells is a normal aspect of stomach function that is disrupted in pre-cancerous lesions. Regulation of zymogenic cell (ZC) differentiation is poorly understood. Here we profile Parietal, Pit, and Zymogenic cells for comparison and study. Experiment Overall Design: Samples were obtained through Laser-capture microdisection of gastric epithelium. The three samples come from enrichments for Zymogenic Cells (ZC), Parietal Cells (PC), and Mucus Pit Cells (Pit). Experiment Overall Design: Individual parietal cells (visualized by DBA-positivity and autofluorescence) from well-oriented gastric units were dissected (PixCell II LCM apparatus, 7.5-µm spot diameter; CapSure HS LCM caps, Arcturus, Mountain View, CA) one-at-a-time from the pit zone and collected for GeneChips. Pit cells (E-cadherin-positive, DBA-negative) were then collected from the same gastric units. Only the pit cells in a 2-3-cell-thick region at the apex of the gastric unit â?? but not yet upon the gastric surface â?? were taken. ZCs (E-cadherin-positive, GSII/DBA-negative cells in the base zones) were collected from different slides in corpus gastric units after potentially contaminating basal parietal cells had first been dissected and discarded. 3000-5000 individual cells from each cell lineage were isolated from 4-5 individual mice, and RNA was purified by PicoPure kit (Arcturus). RNA integrity was verified, and RNAs for each lineage were pooled from multiple mice and multiple dissections to make 20 ng total RNA, which was then amplified, labeled, and fragmented (by the Arcturus RiboAmp HS kit followed by the RNA Amplification and Labeling Kit from Enzo Life Sciences). The resulting biotinylated cRNA probes were hybridized to Affymetrix (Santa Clara, CA) GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430 2.0 microarrays.
