Membrane proteomis profile along human colon

ABSTRACT: The colonic epithelium is a highly dynamic system important for regulation of ion and water homeostasis via absorption and secretion, and in maintaining a protective barrier between the outer milieu and the inside of our body. These processes are known to gradually change along the length of the colon, although a complete characterization at the protein level is lacking. We therefore analyzed the membrane proteome of isolated human (n=4) colonic epithelial cells from biopsies obtained via routine colonoscopy for four segments along the large intestine: ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid colon. Label-free quantitative proteomic analyses using high-resolution mass spectrometry were performed on enriched membrane proteins. The results showed a stable level for the majority of membrane proteins, while a distinct decrease in proteins associated with bacterial sensing, cation-transport and O-glycosylation in the proximal to distal direction. Proteins involved in microbial defense and anion-transport showed on the other hand an opposing gradient and increased towards the distal end. The gradient of ion-transporter proteins could be directly related to previously observed ion transport activities. All individual glycosyltransferases required for the O-glycosylation of the major colonic mucin MUC2 were observed and correlated with the known glycosylation variation along the colon axis. This is the first comprehensive quantitative dataset of membrane protein abundance along the human colon and will add to the knowledge of the physiological function of the different regions of the colonic mucosa.

Project description:Goal: Since disease susceptibility of the intestine exhibits an anatomical bias, we propose that the chromatin landscape, especially the site-specific epigenetic differences in histone modification patterns throughout the longitudinal axis, contributes to a differential response to chemoprotective agents. Method: We assessed the chromatin structure associated with gene expression profiles in the rat proximal and distal colon by globally correlating chromatin immunoprecipitation next-generation sequencing analysis (ChIP-Seq) with mRNA transcription (RNA-Seq) data. Crypts were isolated from the proximal and distal colonic regions from rats maintained on a semi-purified diet, and mRNA gene expression profiles were generated using RNA-Seq. The remaining isolated crypts were paraformaldehyde-crosslinked and chromatin immunoprecipitated using antibodies against H3K4me3, H3K9me3, and RNA Polymerase II. Results/Conclusion: Globally, RNA-Seq results indicated that 9,866 genes were actively expressed, of which 540 genes were differentially expressed between the proximal and distal colon. With regard to differentially expressed genes, a high correlation was observed between H3K4me3-Seq and RNA-Seq data, with 96% of the canonical pathways being similarly affected in the H3K4me3-Seq and RNA-Seq data sets. Gene ontology analysis indicated that colonic crypt location significantly impacted both chromatin and transcriptional regulation of genes involved in cell transformation, lipid metabolism, lymphatic development and immune cell trafficking. Gene function analysis indicated that the PI3-Kinase signaling pathway was regulated in a site-specific manner, e.g., pathway proto-oncogenes, c-Jun, c-Fos and ATF, were up-regulated in the distal colon. Middle and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were also detected in the colon, including select lncRNAs formerly only detected in the rat nervous system. In summary, distinct combinatorial patterns of histone modifications exist in the proximal versus distal colon. These site-specific differences may explain the differential effects of chemoprotective agents on cell transformation in the ascending (proximal) and descending (distal) colon. Examination of mRNA profiles and 2 different histone modifications (H3K4me3 and H3K9me3) in 2 tissue types (proximal and distal colon).

Project description:Examination of host genome-wide changes upon encounters with pathogens provides insight into the pathogenesis of infection and disease. When performed comparatively, it may shed light on the mechanisms underlying host susceptibility. In this study, gene expression in the mouse colon was investigated in two cognate lines of mice that differ in their response to Citrobacter rodentium infection; susceptible inbred FVB/N (FVB) and resistant outbred Swiss Webster (SW) mice. Gene expression in the distal colon was investigated prior to infection and at 4 and 9 days post-inoculation using a whole mouse genome Affymetrix array. Computational analysis identified 462 (1%) probe sets differentially expressed by more than 2-fold between uninoculated SW and FVB mice. In response to C. rodentium infection, 5,123 probe sets (11.4%) were significantly modulated in one or both lines of mice. Microarray data were validated by quantitative real time RT-PCR on 35 selected genes (r = 0.87, p < 0.001) and were found to have a 94% concordance. Transcripts represented by 1,547 probe sets (3.4%), were differentially expressed between FVB and SW mice regardless of infection status (host effect). Genes associated with transport were over-represented to a greater extent than immune response-related genes (25% vs. 11% of enrichment, respectively). Electrolyte analysis revealed hypochloremia and hyponatremia in susceptible animals. The results support the hypothesis that mortality in C. rodentium-infected FVB mice is associated with impaired ion transport and development of fatal hypovolemia. These studies contribute to our understanding of the pathogenesis of C. rodentium and suggest novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of diarrhea associated with bacterial infections of the intestinal tract. Experiment Overall Design: Global gene expression analysis was performed on the distal colon with 2-3 mice per group. Because no difference for any parameters was observed in uninfected mice at 4 or 9 dpi, the animals were pooled into an uninoculated control groups for each line of mouse. The selection of representative samples for microarray analysis was based on known infection status and colonic lesions. The final number of biological replicates for each condition was n = 5 for uninoculated FVB mice (âFpâ group), n = 4 for uninoculated SW mice (âSpâ group), and n = 3 for infected animals from each line at each time point (âFi4â, âSi4â, âFi9â, and âSi9â respectively).
