Human gastrointestinal epithelia of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum resolved at single-cell resolution


ABSTRACT: The upper gastrointestinal tract consisting of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum controls food transport, digestion, nutrient uptake and hormone production. By single-cell analysis of healthy epithelia of these human organs, we molecularly defined their distinct cell types. We identified a quiescent COL17A1high stem/progenitor cell population within the most basal cell layer of the esophagus and detected substantial gene expression differences between identical cell types of the human and mouse stomach. Selective and high expression of BEST4, CFTR, guanylin and uroguanylin identified a new rare cell type in the duodenum, referred to as BCHE cells, which likely mediate high-volume fluid secretion due to continual activation of the CFTR channel by guanylin/uroguanylin-mediated autocrine signaling. Previously uncharacterized serotonin-producing enterochromaffin cells in the antral stomach are shown to significantly differ in gene expression from the duodenal enterochromaffin cells. We furthermore discovered that the histamine-producing enterochromaffin-like cells in the oxyntic stomach express the luteinizing hormone, which was not previously seen in enteroendocrine cells.
