Stroma provides an intestinal stem cell niche in the absence of epithelial Wnts

ABSTRACT: Wnt/b-catenin signaling supports intestinal homeostasis by regulating proliferation in the crypt. Multiple Wnts are expressed in Paneth as well as other intestinal epithelial and stromal cells. Ex vivo, Wnts secreted by Paneth cells can support intestinal stem cells when Wnt signaling is enhanced with supplemental R-Spondin 1 (RSPO1). However, in vivo, the source of Wnts in the stem cell niche is less clear. Genetic ablation of Porcn, an endoplasmic reticulum resident O-acyltransferase that is essential for the secretion and activity of all vertebrate Wnts, confirmed the role of intestinal epithelial Wnts in ex vivo culture. Unexpectedly, mice lacking epithelial Wnt activity (PorcnDel/Villin-Cre mice) had normal intestinal proliferation and differentiation, as well as successful regeneration after radiation injury, indicating epithelial Wnts are dispensable for these processes. Consistent with a key role for stroma in the crypt niche, intestinal stromal cells endogenously expressing Wnts and Rspo3 support the growth of PorcnDel organoids ex vivo without RSPO1 supplementation. Conversely, increasing pharmacologic PORCN inhibition, affecting both stroma and epithelium, reduced Lgr5 intestinal stem cells, inhibited recovery from radiation injury, and at the highest dose fully blocked intestinal proliferation. We conclude that epithelial Wnts are dispensable, and that stromal production of Wnts can fully support normal murine intestinal homeostasis. Microarray was performed on samples enriched for stromal or epithelial cells from small intestine from Porcn(Del)/Villin-Cre and Porcn(WT)/Villin-Cre male C57Bl/6 mice.

RNA-seq of crypt and villus cells from mouse small intestinal epithelium with an intestinal-epithelial specific deletion of LSD1 compared to wild type controls

Project description:To assess the role of LSD1 in mouse small intestinal epithelium, we isolated small intestinal crypts and villus from wild type (WT) (Villin-Cre -; Lsd1f/f) and intestinal-epithelial-specific knock-out (cKO) (Villin-Cre+; Lsd1f/f) mice. This experiment uses a new Cre strain with 100% deletion efficiency. RNA was directly isolated from intestinal crypt and villus, and this was used for RNAseq. Gene expression analysis of cKO derived crypt and villus provides a spatially restricted outlook on the maturation status of the intestinal epithelium in the villi and the absence of Paneth cells in the crypt.

RNA-seq of crypt and villus cells from small intestinal epithelium from mice treated with antibiotics with an intestinal-epithelial specific deletion of LSD1 compared to wild type

Project description:To assess the role of LSD1 in mouse small intestinal epithelium, we isolated small intestinal crypts and villus from wild type (WT) (Villin-Cre -; Lsd1f/f) and intestinal-epithelial-specific knock-out (cKO) (Villin-Cre+; Lsd1f/f) mice. This experiment uses a new Cre strain with 100% recombination efficiency. RNA was directly isolated from the crypt and villus, and this was used for RNAseq. Gene expression analysis of cKO derived crypt and villus provides a spatially restricted outlook on the maturation status of the intestinal epithelium in the villi and the absence of Paneth cells in the crypt. Additionally, these mice were treated with antibiotics to study epithelium intrinsic changes related to LSD1 deletion but independent of the bacterial microbiome.

RNA-seq of crypt cells from mouse small intestinal epithelium with an intestinal-epithelial specific deletion of LSD1 compared to wild type crypts

Project description:To assess the role of LSD1 in mouse small intestinal epithelium, we isolated small intestinal crypts from wild type (WT) (Villin-Cre -; Lsd1f/f) and intestinal-epithelial-specific knock-out (KO) (Villin-Cre+; Lsd1f/f) mice. We dissociated crypts into single cells, and FACS sorted Epcam+ cells, to avoid immune-cell contamination. RNA was directly isolated from these sorted cells, and this was used for RNA seq. As KO crypts are different from WT crypts (KO crypts lack Paneth cells), identifying genes specifically regulated by LSD1 helps us to identify how LSD1 regulates intestinal crypt biology. Specifically, because we were able to combine this with ChIP-seq of the same cells, to identify where H3K4me1 levels (target of the histone demethylase LSD1) were different in the genome.

ChIP-sequencing of the H3K4me1/2 in crypts from mice intestinal epithelium with intestinal epithelium specific LSD1 knock out compared to wild type

Project description:To study the epigenetic regulation of intestinal epithelium we focus on the role of chromatin modulators. Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1a (KDM1A, LSD1) is one of the enzymes that can erase the H3K4me1/2 mark. To assess the role of LSD1 in intestinal epithelium we studied wild type (WT) (Villin-Cre -; Lsd1f/f) and intestinal-epithelial-specific knock-out (KO) (Villin-Cre+; Lsd1f/f) mice. We found that KO mice completely lack Paneth cells, and have altered stem cell characteristics compared to WT littermates. To assess genome-wide H3K4me1/2 levels in WT and KO small intestines, we sorted small intestinal crypt cells, fixed them, isolated chromatin, and performed ChIP using an H3K4me1 and an H3K4me2 antibody as described in the protocols.

RNA-seq of mouse small intestinal organoids with an intestinal-epithelial specific deletion of LSD1 compared to wild type

Project description:To assess the role of LSD1 in mouse small intestinal epithelium, we grew small intestinal organoids in vitro from mice with an epithelial specific deletion of LSD1 (Villin-Cre+; Lsd1f/f) and from wild type (Villin-Cre-; Lsd1f/f) mice. This experiment uses a new Cre strain with 100% recombination efficiency. Similar to intestinal epithelium from mice with an intestinal epithelium specific LSD1-KO, Paneth cells are not present in LSD1-KO small intestinal organoids. We used these sequencing data to show intrinsic epithelial changes in the intestinal epithelium caused by LSD1 deletion in the absence of microbiota and surrounding in vivo cell types.

scRNAseq of small intestine-derived lamina propria CD45+ cells from untreated wild type (WT), untreated intestinal epithelial specific LSD1 knockout (cKO), antibiotic-treated WT mice and antibiotic-treated cKO mice

Project description:Mice with an intestinal epithelial specific knockout of LSD1 have changes in the intestinal epithelium including loss of Paneth and Goblet cells along with a general status of epithelial immaturity. To assess the influence of these epithelial specific changes on the mucosal immune system we performed a scRNAseq on CD45+ immune cells from the small intestine of mice with an epithelial specific LSD1 deletion (Villin-Cre+; Lsd1f/f) and wild type mice (Villin-Cre -; Lsd1f/f). To rule out a possible influence of the bacterial microbiome in the observed changes in CD45+ cell types we performed the same experiment in mice treated with antibiotics. These data allowed us to pinpoint changes in the cell populations of the mucosal immune system upon loss of LSD1 in the intestinal epithelium such as IgA producing cells and ILCs.

ATAC-sequencing mice small intestinal epithelium with intestinal epithelium specific LSD1 knock out compared to wild type

Project description:To study the epigenetic regulation of intestinal epithelium we focus on the role of chromatin modulators.

We found that KO mice completely lack Paneth cells, and have altered stem cell characteristics compared to WT littermates. To assess genome-wide ATAC levels in WT and KO small intestines, we isolated intestinal epithelium tissue from wild type mice and LSD1 KO mice. This tissue was digested to single cells and performed ATAC seq as described in the protocols.

Global gene expression analysis of Dot1l-deficient and control intestinal villus cells in mouse

Project description:Methylation of H3K79 is associated with chromatin at expressed genes, though it is unclear if this histone modification is required for transcription of all genes. Recent studies suggest that Wnt-responsive genes depend particularly on H3K79 methylation, which is catalyzed by the methyltransferase DOT1L. Human leukemias carrying MLL gene rearrangements show DOT1L-mediated H3K79 methylation and aberrant expression of leukemogenic genes. DOT1L inhibitors reverse these effects but their clinical use is potentially limited by toxicity in Wnt-dependent tissues such as intestinal epithelium. Genome-wide positioning of the H3K79me2 mark in Lgr5+ mouse intestinal stem cells and mature intestinal villus epithelium correlated with mRNA expression levels but not with Wnt-responsive genes per se. Selective Dot1l disruption in Lgr5+ stem cells or in all intestinal epithelial cells eliminated H3K79me2 from the respective compartments, allowing genetic evaluation of DOT1L requirements. Absence of methylated H3K79 did not impair health, intestinal homeostasis or expression of Wnt target genes in crypt epithelium for up to 4 months, despite increased crypt cell apoptosis. Global transcript profiles in Dot1l-null cells were barely altered. Thus, H3K79 methylation is not essential for transcription of Wnt-responsive or other intestinal genes and intestinal toxicity is not imperative when DOT1L is rendered inactive in vivo. Examination of differential gene expression between Dot1l control (Dot1 f/f) and Dot1l mutant (Villin-Cre, Dot1l f/f) villus cells.
