Project description:We previously established long-term 3D organoid culture systems for several murine tissues (intestine, stomach, pancreas and liver) as well as human intestine and pancreas. Here, we describe culture conditions to generate long-term 3D culture from human gastric stem cells. The technology can be applied to study the epithelial response to infection with Helicobacter pylori. Human gastric cultures can expand indefinitely in 3D Matrigel. Cultures can be generated from normal tissue, from single sorted stem cells, or from tumor tissue. Organoids maintain many characteristics of the respective tissue in terms of histology, marker expression and euploidy. Organoids from normal tissue express markers of four lineages of the stomach and self-organize in gland and pit-domains. They can be directed to specifically express either lineages of the gastric gland, or the gastric pit by addition of Nicotinamide and withdrawal of Wnt. While gastric pit lineages react marginally to bacterial infection, gastric gland lineages mount a strong inflammatory response. The gastric culture system provides a unique tool to study gastric pathologies. We generated 2 sets of experiments. The first set contains organoids in 4 conditions: (1) organoids in expansion condition ENRWFGNiTi ("gland-type organoids") from 3 donors, (2) organoids as in 1 but differentiated for 4 days in differentiation condition ENR_FGNiTi ("pit'type organoids"), (3) organoids as in 1 but infected with Helicobacter pylori strain P12 MOI 50 for 2 h, (4) organoids as in 2 but infected as in 3. All 4 conditions were tested on the same organoid line in parallel. This experiment was conducted independently with cultures from 3 different donors. The second set of experiments compares freshly isolated glands with organoids. Samples from 2 patients were analyzed. Each patient received a total gastrectomy. From each patient, glands from corpus region or pyloric antrum were isolated. From each isolation, one aliquod was stored for microarray analysis and one aliquod used to generate organoids. Organoids and glands were subsequently lysed and analyzed in parallel.

Project description:Gastric ulcer, which affect many of patients and is deeply related with gastric cancer, is caused by chronic gastric acid stimulation. Stomach fundus, the main body of stomach, is a major source of gastric acid and peptidase for food digestion. Recapturing the main body of stomach requires mainly 3 functionally differentiated cells; parietal (oxyntic) cells, chief (zymogenic) cells, and surface mucous foveolar (pit) cells. We have previously shown the induction of stomach tissue with functional secreting activities by directed differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ES cells) to stomach primordium with both gut epithelium and splanchnic mesoderm. However, generating human stomach with fundus and such functions has been elucidated and a long-desired goal. Here, we describe the method for establishing human embryonic stem cell-derived stomach organoids with fundus gland structure. Along with mouse stomach development and de novo stomach generation from mouse ES cells in vitro, we observed gut-like structure formation from human embryonic stem cells by induction of both endoderm and mesoderm. These human embryonic gut could differentiate into stomach primordium by growth factor stimulation as well as stomach development, and form stomach tissue in three-dimensional organoid culture. Furthermore, these stomach organoids contain fundus-like gland with parietal cells and chief cells, some of secreting activities, and is transcriptionally close to human stomach. Human functional stomach derived from embryonic stem cells represent powerful tools for analying human stomach development, and gastric ulcer related disease including gastric tumorgenesis.

Project description:Successful differentiation methods have been developed in several endodermal organs, including liver, pancreas, and intestine from embryonic stem cell and induced pluripotent stem cells. Compare to these organs, however, little has been known in gastric differentiation from embryonic stem cells. Here, we established a method of gastrointestinal tissue differentiation methods, including stomach regions from embryonic stem cells. These gastrointestinal tissue built gut primordium-like spheroids, which is also able to mature into adult tissue containing all differentiated cells in three-dimensional culture. These embryonic stem cells derived gastrointestinal tissue possessed the similar gene expression profile that of adult stomach. These data indicated that functional gastrointestinal tissue can be derived from embryonic stem cells by mimicking in vivo development and could be useful for investigating gastrointestinal study such as disease modeling.

Project description:Transcription factor Foxq1 controls mucin gene expression and granule content in mouse stomach surface mucous cells ; Background and Aims: The gastric mucosa provides a stringent epithelial barrier and produces acid and enzymes that initiate digestion. In this regenerating tissue, progenitors differentiate continually into 4 principal specialized cell types, yet underlying mechanisms of differentiation are poorly understood. We identified stomach-restricted expression of the forkhead transcription factor FOXQ1. Methods: We used a combination of genetic, histochemical, ultrastructural and molecular analysis to study gastric cell lineages with respect to FOXQ1. Results: Within the developing and adult gastrointestinal tract, Foxq1 mRNA is restricted to the stomach, expressed prominently in foveolar (pit) cells, the abundant mucin-producing cells that line the mucosal surface, and required for their complete differentiation. Mice carrying Foxq1 coding mutations show virtual absence of mRNA and protein for the backbone of the predominant stomach mucin, MUC5AC. These observations correspond to a paucity of foveolar-cell secretory vesicles and notable loss of stomach but not intestinal mucus. Transcriptional profiling identified a surprisingly restricted set of genes with altered expression in Foxq1 mutant stomachs. MUC5AC is a highly tissue-restricted product that similarly depends on FOXQ1 in its other major site of expression, conjunctival goblet cells. Conclusions: Taken together, these observations imply that promotion of gastric MUC5AC synthesis is a primary, cell-autonomous function of FOXQ1. This study is the first to implicate a transcription factor in terminal differentiation of foveolar cells and begins to define the requirements to assemble highly specialized organelles and cells in the gastric mucosa.

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:The human gastric epithelium forms highly organized gland structures with different subtypes of cells. The carcinogenic bacterium Helicobacter pylori can attach to gastric cells and subsequently translocate its virulence factor CagA, but the possible host cell tropism of H. pylori is currently unknown. Here, we report that H. pylori preferentially attaches to differentiated cells in the pit region of gastric units. Single-cell RNA-seq shows that organoid-derived monolayers recapitulate the pit region, while organoids capture the gland region of the gastric units. Using these models, we show that H. pylori preferentially attaches to highly differentiated pit cells, marked by high levels of GKN1, GKN2 and PSCA. Directed differentiation of host cells enable enrichment of the target cell population and confirm H. pylori preferential attachment and CagA translocation into these cells. Attachment is independent of MUC5AC or PSCA expression, and instead relies on bacterial TlpB-dependent chemotaxis towards host cell-released urea, which scales with host cell size.

Project description:A dozen of cells expressing various marker genes was defined as adult gastric epithelial stem cells. Do these cells represent different cell types or they are just the same cell with cycling expression of different marker genes? The origin of the adult stem cells could answer this question. Yet, the identity of the embryonic gastric progenitors was not known. We performed single cell RNA-sequencing to characterize cellular composition of the embryonic stomach at the time of initiation of cytodifferentiation. Our analysis of the scRNA-seq data led to identification of two different embryonic gastric epithelial progenitors. Further, we have defined signals that control their maintenance and differentiation along four main lineages, such as mucous pit, zymogenic, parietal and endocrine cells.
