Expression data from Spdef +/+ and Spdef -/- mice

ABSTRACT: Goblet cell numbers decrease within the conjunctival epithelium in drying and cicatrizing ocular surface diseases. Factors regulating goblet cell differentiation in conjunctival epithelium are unknown. Recent data indicate that the transcription factor SAM-pointed domain epithelial-specific transcription factor (Spdef) is essential for goblet cell differentiation in tracheobronchial and gastrointestinal epithelium of mice. Using Spdef -/- mice, we determined that Spdef is required for conjunctival goblet cell differentiation and that Spdef -/- mice, which lack conjunctival goblet cells, have significantly increased corneal surface fluorescein staining and tear volume, a phenotype consistent with dry eye. Microarray analysis of conjunctival epithelium in Spdef -/- mice identified 43 signficantly upregulated genes and 110 signficantly downregulated genes in the conjunctival epithelium of Spdef -/- mice compared to that of Spdef +/+ control mice (3 fold change, p<0.01). Downregulated genes of particular interested included goblet cell-specific genes (Muc5ac, Tff1, Gcnt3). Upregulated genes included epithelial cell differentiation/keratinization genes (Sprr2h, Tgm1) and pro-inflammatory genes (Il1-α, Il-1β, Tnf-α), all of which are upregulated in dry eye. Interestingly, four Wnt pathway genes were downregulated.

Interestingly, four Wnt pathway genes were downregulated. Conjunctival epithelium of Spdef +/+ and Spdef -/- mice was collected by laser capture microdissection for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays to determine if gene expression patterns in the conjunctival epithelium of Spdef -/- mice is altered compared to that of Spdef +/+ mice.

The Ets domain transcription factor Spdef drives maturation of Goblet and Paneth cells in the intestinal epithelium

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: Stems cells within the intestinal epithelium generate daughter cells which undergo lineage commitment and maturation through the concerted action of the Wnt and Notch signalling cascades. Both pathways, in turn, regulate transcription factor networks which further define differentiation towards either enterocytes or one of three secretory cell lineages (Paneth, goblet or enteroendocrine cells). In this manuscript, we identified the Ets domain transcription factor, Spdef, as a novel lineage maker of goblet and Paneth cells. METHODS: To address the function of Spdef in vivo, we inactivated the Spdef gene and analysed the intestinal phenotype using a range of histological techniques and DNA microarray profiling. RESULTS: In accordance with the expression data we found that loss of Spdef severely impaired the maturation of goblet and Paneth cells and conversely lead to an accumulation of immature secretory progenitors. Moreover, we provide evidence suggesting that Spdef positively and negatively regulates a specific subset of goblet and Paneth cell genes including Cryptdins, Mmp7, Ang4, Kallikreins, and Muc2. CONCLUSION: We propose a model whereby Spdef acts downstream of Math1 to promote terminal differentiation of a secretory progenitor pool towards Paneth and goblet cells.

Mouse conjunctival forniceal gene expression during postnatal development and its regulation by Kruppel-like factor 4

Project description:Purpose: To identify the changes in postnatal mouse conjunctival forniceal gene expression and their regulation by Klf4 around eye opening stage when the goblet cells first appear. Methods: Laser-capture-microdissection was used to collect conjunctival forniceal epithelial cells from postnatal-day (PN) 9, PN14 and PN20 wild-type (WT), and PN14 Klf4-conditional null (Klf4CN) mice, where goblet cells are absent, developing, present, and missing, respectively. Microarrays were used to compare gene expression among these four groups. Expression of selected genes was validated by Q-RT-PCR, and spatiotemporal expression assessed by in situ hybridization. Results: We identified 668, 251, 1160 and 139 genes that were upregulated and 492, 377, 1419 and 57 genes that were downregulated between PN9 and PN14, PN14 and PN20, PN9 and PN20, and PN14 WT and Klf4CN conjunctiva, respectively. Transcription factors Spdef, FoxA1 and FoxA3 that regulate goblet cell development in other mucosal epithelia, and epithelial specific Ets (ESE) transcription factor family members were upregulated during conjunctival development. Mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) was favored and diverse pathways related to glycoprotein biosynthesis, mucosal immunity, signaling, endocytic and neural regulation were affected during conjunctival development. Conjunctival Klf4-target genes differed significantly from the previously identified corneal Klf4-target genes, implying tissue-dependant regulatory targets for Klf4. Conclusions: We have identified the changes in gene expression accompanying mouse conjunctival development and the role of Klf4 in this process. These studies provide new probes to study conjunctival epithelial development and function, and reveal that the gene regulatory network required for goblet cell development is conserved across different mucosal epithelia. Three independent samples in each of four developmental groups

Reduced RXRa signaling increases dry eye disease inducing gdT17 cells in the conjunctiva [Nanostring]

Project description:Purpose: To investigate the mechanism for developing dry eye disease in the Pinkie mouse strain with a loss of function RXR mutation. Methods: Measures of dry eye disease were assessed in the cornea and conjunctiva. Expression profiling by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)was performed to compare gene expression in conjunctival immune cells. Conjunctival immune cells were immunophenotyped by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Activity of RXR ligand 9-cis retinoic acid (RA) was evaluated in cultured monocytes and  T cells. Results: Compared to wild type (WT) C57BL/6, Pinkie has increased signs of dry eye disease, including corneal barrier disruption, conjunctival cornification and goblet cell loss, and corneal vascularization, opacification, and ulceration with aging. scRNA-seq of conjunctival immune cells identified  T cells as the predominant IL-17 expressing population in both strains and there is a 4-fold increased percentage of  T cells in Pinkie. Compared to WT, significantly increased expression of IL-17a and IL-17f in conventional T cells and IL-17f in  T cells was found in Pinkie. Flow cytometry and immunostaining revealed an increased number of IL-17+  T cells in Pinkie. Tear concentration of the IL-17 inducer IL-23 is significantly higher in Pinkie. 9-cis RA treatment suppresses stimulated IL-17 production by  T and stimulatory activity of monocyte supernatant on  T cell IL-17 production. Compared to WT bone marrow chimeras, Pinkie chimeras have increased IL-17+  T cells in the conjunctiva after desiccating stress and anti-IL-17 treatment suppresses dry eye induced corneal MMP-9 production/activity and conjunctival goblet cell loss. Conclusion: These findings indicate that RXR suppresses generation of dry eye disease inducing  T17 cells in the conjunctiva and identifies RXR as a potential therapeutic target in dry eye.

Cigarette Smoke Activates NOTCH3 to Promote Goblet Cell Differentiation in Human Airway Epithelial Cells

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States and is caused primarily by cigarette smoking. Increased numbers of mucus-producing secretory (“goblet”) cells defined as goblet cell metaplasia or hyperplasia (GCMH), contributes significantly to COPD pathophysiology. The objective of this study was to determine whether NOTCH signaling regulates goblet cell differentiation in response to cigarette smoke. To this end, primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) from nonsmokers and COPD smokers were differentiated in vitro on air-liquid interface and exposed to cigarette smoke extract (CSE) for 7 days. NOTCH signaling activity was modulated using (1) the NOTCH/γ-secretase inhibitor Dibenzazepine (DBZ), (2) lentiviral over-expression of the NOTCH3-intracellular domain (NICD3) or (3) NOTCH3-specific siRNA. Cell differentiation and response to CSE were evaluated by qPCR, Western blotting, immunostaining and RNA-Seq. Our data demonstrate that CSE exposure of nonsmoker airway epithelium induced goblet cell differentiation characteristic of GCMH. Treatment with DBZ suppressed CSE-dependent induction of goblet cell differentiation. Furthermore, CSE induced NOTCH3 activation, as revealed by increased NOTCH3 nuclear localization and elevated NICD3 protein levels. Over-expression of NICD3 increased expression of the goblet cell associated genes SPDEF and MUC5AC, whereas NOTCH3 knockdown suppressed CSE-mediated induction of SPDEF and MUC5AC. Finally, CSE exposure of COPD airway epithelium induced goblet cell differentiation in a NOTCH3-dependent manner. These results identify NOTCH3 activation as one of the important mechanisms by which cigarette smoke induces goblet cell differentiation, thus providing a potential strategy to control GCMH-related pathologies in smokers and patients with COPD.

Mouse and Human Conjunctiva Organoids to Study Ocular Surface Homeostasis and Disease

Project description:The conjunctival epithelium covering the eye consists of two main differentiated cell types: mucus-producing Goblet cells and ‘keratinocytes’ of unknown function. Here, we describe long-term expanding organoids representing human conjunctiva. To check if interleukins may boost secretome expression, we stimulated the organoid cells with pleiotropic anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-4 and IL-13. Secretions were identified by shotgun MS to quantitatively enriched secreted proteins.
