Gut-liver axis calibrates intestinal stem cell fitness via PEDF

ABSTRACT: The gut and liver have been recognized to mutually communicate through the biliary tract, portal vein and systemic circulation, but it remains unclear how this gut-liver axis regulates intestinal physiology. Through hepatectomy, transcriptomics and proteomics profiling, we identified pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), as a liver-derived soluble Wnt inhibitor, that can restrain intestinal stem cells (ISC) hyperproliferation for gut homeostasis by competing with Wnt ligands and suppressing Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. In turn, microbial danger signals from intestinal inflammation can be sensed by the liver to repress PEDF production via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR alpha), liberating ISC proliferation to accelerate tissue repair in the gut. Further, treatment of mice with fenofibrate, a clinical agent of PPARalpha agonist for hypolipidemia enhances the susceptibility of colitis via PEDF activity. Therefore, we identified a distinct role of PEDF to calibrate ISC expansion for intestinal homeostasis via reciprocal interactions between the gut and liver.

Gut-liver axis calibrates intestinal stem cell fitness via PEDF

Project description:The gut and liver are recognized to mutually communicate through the biliary tract, portal vein and systemic circulation, but it remains unclear how this gut-liver axis regulates intestinal physiology. Through hepatectomy, transcriptomic and proteomic profiling, we identified pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), a liver-derived soluble Wnt inhibitor, that restrains intestinal stem cell (ISC) hyperproliferation to maintain gut homeostasis by suppressing the Wnt/b-catenin signaling pathway. Further, we found that microbial danger signals occurring as a result of intestinal inflammation can be sensed by the liver to repress PEDF production via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-a (PPARa), liberating ISC proliferation to accelerate tissue repair in the gut. Finally, treatment of mice with fenofibrate, a clinical agent of PPARa agonist for hypolipidemia enhances the susceptibility of colitis via PEDF activity. Therefore, we have identified a distinct role for PEDF in calibrating ISC expansion for intestinal homeostasis via reciprocal interactions between the gut and liver.

A C/EBPα–Wnt connection in gut homeostasis and carcinogenesis

Project description:We explored the connection between C/EBPα (CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α) and Wnt signaling in gut homeostasis and carcinogenesis. C/EBPα was expressed in human and murine intestinal epithelia in the transit amplifying region of the crypts and was absent in intestinal stem cells and Paneth cells with activated Wnt signaling. In human colorectal cancer and murine APCMin/+ polyps, C/EBPα was absent from nuclear β-catenin–positive tumor cells. In chemically induced intestinal carcinogenesis, C/EBPα KO in murine gut epithelia increased tumor volume. C/EBPα deletion extended the S-phase cell zone in intestinal organoids and activated typical proliferation gene expression signatures, including that of Wnt target genes. Genetic activation of β-catenin in organoids attenuated C/EBPα expression. Comparing gene expression of wild type and C/EBPα KO organoids by RNA sequencing aimed to identify C/EBPα dependent alterations in gene expression.

Next Generation Sequencing Analysis of Pparafl/fl and PparaΔIE intestinal transcriptomes

Project description:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic diseases globally and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is its progressive stage with limited therapeutic options. Here a role for intestinal peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα)-fatty acid binding protein 1 (FABP1) in obesity-associated metabolic syndrome, fatty liver and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis via modulating dietary fat absorption was uncovered. Intestinal PPARα is highly activated accompanied by marked upregulation of FABP1 by high-fat diet (HFD) in mice and obese humans. Intestine-specific PPARα or FABP1 disruption in mice decreases HFD-induced obesity, fatty liver and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and intestinal PPARα disruption fails to further decrease obesity and NASH. Chemical PPARα antagonism improves metabolic disorders depending on the presence of intestinal PPARα or FABP1. Translationally, GW6471 decreases human PPARα-driven intestinal fatty acid uptake and therapeutically improves obesity in PPARA-humanized, but not Ppara-null, mice. These results suggest that intestinal PPARα-FABP1 axis could be a therapeutic target for NASH.

Transcriptome analysis of Brg1 deficient small intestinal epithelium in the context of normal and aberrant Wnt signalling

Project description:Brg1 has been reported to act as a trans-activator for the Wnt pathway by interacting with beta-catenin. Given this interaction and the crucial role Wnt signalling plays in the intestinal homeostasis, we aimed to investigate the effect of Brg1 loss on gene expression in normal and Wnt activated small intestinal epithelium. We used VillinCreERT2 Cre recombinase and loxP targeted allels of Brg1 and Apc to generate 4 cohorts of conditional knock-out mice: Cre-negative controls (n=4), Brg1 deficient (n=4), Apc deficient (n=3) and double Brg1-Apc deficient (n=4). All mice were induced by 4x80mg/kg daily injections of Tamoxifen. Epithelium enriched (gut scrapes) samples of small intestine (jejunum) were collected at day 4 post induction. Loss of Brg1 expression in the small intestinal epithelium at this time point was confirmed by immunohistochemistry.

DICKKOPF-1 locates in the nucleus of human differentiated epithelial intestinal and mammary cells and regulates gene expression

Project description:Wnt/b-catenin pathway is a key modulator of intestinal homeostasis by regulating stem cell biology during gut organogenesis and in adult life. DICKKOPF (DKK)-1 is a secreted inhibitor of Wnt/b-catenin signaling from plasma membrane receptors. We found that in human intestine, DKK-1 locates within the nucleus of differentiated enterocytes and enteroendocrine cells but not of proliferating and stem cells at the bottom of the crypts. DKK-1 is also nuclear in colon cancer cells locating at sites of active gene transcription. ChIP-seq and transcriptomic analysis both confirmed that DKK-1 binds chromatin and regulates gene expression. Thus, we demonstrate that DKK-1 is a multifunctional protein that inhibits Wnt/b-catenin signaling at plasma membrane and controls specific genes in the nucleus, suggesting that these functions are relevant for intestinal homeostasis. Analysis of DKK-1 location and associated roles in human colon cancer cells and crypts of small and large bowel.

A DLG1-ARHGAP31-CDC42 axis regulates the Wnt response in intestinal stem cells

Project description:A central factor in maintenance of tissue integrity is the response of stem cells to variations in the levels of niche signals. In the gut, intestinal stem cells (ISCs) depend on Wnt ligands for self-renewal and proliferation. Transient increases in Wnt signaling promote regeneration after injury or in inflammatory bowel diseases, whereas constitutive activation of this pathway leads to colorectal cancer. Here, we report that Discs large 1 (Dlg1) is dispensable for polarity and cellular turnover during intestinal homeostasis; however, Dlg1 is required for ISC survival in the context of increased Wnt signaling. RNA sequencing (RNAseq) and genetic mouse models demonstrated that DLG1 regulates the cellular response to increased canonical Wnt signaling. This occurs via transcriptional regulation of Arhgap31, a GTPase-activating protein that deactivates CDC42, an effector of the non-canonical Wnt pathway. These findings reveal a DLG1-ARHGAP31-CDC42 axis that is essential for the ISC response to fluctuating niche Wnt signaling.

Intestinal epithelial cell NCoR deficiency ameliorates obesity and metabolic syndrome

Project description:Obesity has emerged as a common disease worldwide. Risks of developing other metabolic diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes are also higher in obese population. However, current treatment options are limited. Here we discovered a new approach for mitigating obesity and metabolic disorders by targeting intestinal nuclear receptor corepressor (NCoR). In mice with diet-induced obesity, NCoR deficiency in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) improved obesity, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance, corrected atherogenic dyslipidemia, and reduced hepatic steatosis. These effects were mediated through regulation of energy expenditure, energy harvest, and gut hormone secretion. Mechanistically, NCoR deficiency in IECs stimulated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) signaling pathway-mediated succinate production and thermogenesis. Intestinal cholesterol excretion was induced by derepression of intestinal liver X receptor (LXR), and triglyceride and fatty acid absorption in the upper intestine was reduced by disrupted bile acid synthesis and altered bile acid composition. In the distal intestine, increased fatty acid uptake stimulated glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion and improved glycemic control.

The TMAO Generating Enzyme Flavin Monooxygenase 3 is a Central Regulator of Cholesterol Balance

Project description:Circulating levels of the gut microbe-derived metabolite trimethylamine-N-oxide(TMAO) have recently been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Here we performed transcriptional profiling in mouse models of altered reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), and serendipitously identified the TMAO-generating enzyme flavin monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) as a powerful modifier of cholesterol metabolism and RCT. Knockdown of FMO3 in cholesterol-fed mice alters biliary lipid secretion, blunts intestinal cholesterol absorption, and limits the production of hepatic oxysterols and cholesteryl esters. Furthermore, FMO3 knockdown stimulates basal and liver X receptor (LXR)-stimulated macrophage RCT, thereby improving cholesterol balance. Conversely, FMO3 knockdown exacerbates hepatic ER stress and inflammation in part by decreasing hepatic oxysterol levels and subsequent LXR activation. FMO3 is thus identified as a central integrator of hepatic cholesterol and triacylglycerol metabolism, inflammation, and ER stress. These studies suggest that the gut microbiota-driven TMA/FMO3/TMAO pathway is a key regulator of lipid metabolism and inflammation. To identify potential regulators of macrophage reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), liver was isolated from two independent mouse models where the non-biliary RCT pathway known as transintestinal cholesterol excretion (TICE) was either chronically (NPC1L1-liver-transgenic mice) or acutely (ACAT2 antisense oligonucleotide treatment) stimulated. Total RNA was isolated and gene expression levels were profiled on the Affymetrix GeneAtlas MG-430 PM Array Strip (Affymetrix; Santa Clara, CA, USA)

Gut microbiome dysregulation is associated with elevated toxic bile acids in Parkinson’s disease

Project description:The gut microbiome can impact brain health and is altered in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. The vermiform appendix is a lymphoid tissue implicated in the storage and regulation of the gut microbiome. Here, we investigate changes in the functional microbiome in the appendix of PD patients relative to controls by metatranscriptomic analysis. In the PD appendix, we find microbial dysbiosis affecting lipid metabolism, particularly an upregulation of bacteria responsible for secondary bile acid synthesis. Likewise, proteomic and transcript analysis in the PD gut corroborates a disruption in cholesterol homeostasis and lipid catabolism. Bile acid analysis in the PD appendix reveals an increase in the microbially-derived, toxic secondary bile acids deoxycholic acid (DCA) and lithocholic acid (LCA). Synucleinopathy in mice induces similar microbiome alterations to those of PD patients and heightens microbial changes to gut inflammation. As observed in PD, the mouse model of synucleinopathy has elevated DCA and LCA. Raised levels of DCA and LCA can lead to liver injury, and an analysis of blood markers of liver dysfunction shows evidence of biliary abnormalities in PD patients, including elevated alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin. Increased bilirubin levels are also evident before PD diagnosis, in individuals at-risk of developing PD. In sum, microbially-derived toxic bile acids are heightened in PD and biliary changes may even precede the onset of overt motor symptoms.

Serine Palmitoyltransferase Controls Stemness of Intestinal Progenitors [single cell RNA-Seq]

Project description:Cancers of the gastrointestinal tract including esophageal adenocarcinomas, colorectal cancers, and cancers of the gastric cardia are common comorbidities of obesity. Excessive delivery of macronutrients to the cells lining the gut can increase one’s risk for these cancer by inducing imbalances in the rate of intestinal stem cell proliferation vs. differentiation, which can produce polyps and other aberrant growths. We demonstrate that serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT), which diverts dietary fatty and amino acids into the sphingolipid biosynthesis pathway, is a critical modulator of intestinal stem cell homeostasis. SPT and other enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway are upregulated in human colon tumors. These enzymes produce sphingolipids that serve as pro-stemness signals that stimulate peroxisome-proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARa)-mediated induction of fatty acid binding protein-1. This increases fatty acid uptake and oxidation and enhances the stemness program. Serine palmitoyltransferase thus serves as a critical link between dietary macronutrients, epithelial regeneration, and cancer risk.
