Stem cell intrinsic nutrient sensing regulating diet dependent intestinal adaptation

ABSTRACT: The intestine is an organ with exceptionally high rate of cell turnover and perturbations in this process can lead to disease such as cancer or intestinal atrophy. Nutrition is a key factor regulating the intestinal cell turnover and has a profound impact on intestinal volume and cellular architecture. However, how the intestinal equilibrium is maintained in fluctuating dietary conditions is insufficiently understood. By utilizing the Drosophila midgut as a model, we reveal a novel nutrient sensing mechanism coupling stem cell metabolism with stem cell extrinsic growth signal. Our results show that intestinal stem cells (ISCs) employ the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP) to monitor nutritional status and energy metabolism. Elevated activity of the HBP promotes Warburg effect-like metabolic reprogramming, which is required for the reactivation of ISCs from calorie restriction-induced quiescence. Furthermore, the HBP activity is an essential facilitator for insulin signaling-induced intestinal growth. In conclusion, intestinal stem cell intrinsic nutrient sensing regulates metabolic pathway activities, and defines the stem cell responsiveness to niche-derived growth signals.

Ribosome impairment regulates intestinal stem cell identity via ZAKa activation.

Project description:The small intestine is a rapidly proliferating organ that is maintained by a small population of Lgr5-expressing intestinal stem cells (ISCs). However, several Lgr5-negative ISC populations have been identified, and this remarkable plasticity allows the intestine to rapidly respond to both the local environment and to damage. The mediators of such plasticity are still largely unknown. Using intestinal organoids and mouse models, we show that upon ribosome impairment (driven by Rptor deletion, amino acid starvation, or low dose cyclohexamide treatment) ISCs gain an Lgr5-negative, fetal-like identity. This is accompanied by a rewiring of metabolism. Our findings suggest that the ribosome can act as a sensor of nutrient availability, allowing ISCs to respond to the local nutrient environment. Mechanistically, we show that this phenotype requires the activation of ZAKɑ, which in turn activates YAP, via SRC. Together, our data reveals a central role for ribosome dynamics in intestinal stem cells, and identify the activation of ZAKɑ as a critical mediator of stem cell identity.

O-GlcNAcylation of Raptor transduces glucose signals to mTORC1

Project description:Complex molecular mechanisms ensure cellular homeostasis between nutrient sensing and energy metabolism. Strong evidence from many laboratories supports a role for the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) and its end product, UDP-GlcNAc, as important nutrient sensors. Isotopic photocleavable tagging for O-GlcNAc profiling (isoPTOP) was performed for quantitative and site specific identification of O-GlcNAcylation upon glucose mediated nutrient fluctuation. Mammalian target of Rapamycin complex 1（mTORC1）is a metabolic hub, which can sense the availability of various nutrients. We found that Raptor, the scaffold of the mTORC1 complex, is O-GlcNAcylated at T700. Our finding provides a novel mechanism that UDP-GlcNAc mediates glucose signal to mTORC1 by O-GlcNAcylating Raptor at T700 to regulate mTORC1 activity and cell growth.

Nutrient-driven dedifferentiation of enteroendocrine cells promotes adaptive intestinal growth

Project description:Post-developmental organ resizing improves organismal fitness under constantly changing nutrient environments. Although stem cell abundance is a fundamental determinant of adaptive resizing, our understanding of its underlying mechanisms remains primarily limited to the regulation of stem cell division. Here, we demonstrate that nutrient fluctuation induces dedifferentiation in the Drosophila adult midgut to drive adaptive intestinal growth. From lineage tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing, we identify a subpopulation of enteroendocrine (EE) cells that convert into functional intestinal stem cells (ISCs) in response to dietary glucose and amino acids by activating the JAK-STAT pathway. Genetic ablation of EE-derived ISCs severely impairs ISC expansion and midgut growth despite the retention of resident ISCs, and in silico modeling further indicates that EE dedifferentiation enables an efficient increase in the midgut cell number while maintaining epithelial cell composition. Our findings identify a physiologically induced dedifferentiation that ensures ISC expansion during adaptive organ growth in concert with nutrient conditions.

Intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts support the growth of intestinal epithelial stem cells

Project description:Intestinal epithelial stem cells (ISCs) are the focus of recent intense study. Current in vitro models rely on supplementation with the Wnt agonist R-spondin1 to support robust growth, ISC self-renewal, and differentiation. Intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts (ISEMFs) are important supportive cells within the ISC niche. We hypothesized that co-culture with ISEMF enhances the growth of ISCs in vitro and allows for their successful in vivo implantation and engraftment. ISC-containing small intestinal crypts, FACS-sorted single ISCs, and ISEMFs were procured from C57BL/6 mice. Crypts and single ISCs were grown in vitro into enteroids, in the presence or absence of ISEMFs. ISEMFs enhanced the growth of intestinal epithelium in vitro in a proximity-dependent fashion, with co-cultures giving rise to larger enteroids than monocultures. Co-culture of ISCs with supportive ISEMFs relinquished the requirement of exogenous R-spondin1 to sustain long-term growth and differentiation of ISCs. Mono- and co-cultures were implanted subcutaneously in syngeneic mice. Co-culture with ISEMFs proved necessary for successful in vivo engraftment and proliferation of enteroids; implants without ISEMFs did not survive. ISEMF whole transcriptome sequencing and qPCR demonstrated high expression of specific R-spondins, well-described Wnt agonists that supports ISC growth. Specific non-supportive ISEMF populations had reduced expression of R-spondins. The addition of ISEMFs in intestinal epithelial culture therefore recapitulates a critical element of the intestinal stem cell niche and allows for its experimental interrogation and biodesign-driven manipulation. Two samples of intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts were used in this study.

RNA-seq of mouse Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells and progenitors following Lkb1 deletion against controls

Project description:Perturbed intestinal epithelial homeostasis demonstrated as decreased Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells (Lgr5 ISCs) and increased secretory lineages were observed in our study where Lkb1 was specfically deleted in Lgr5 ISCs using Lgr5-EGFP-creERT2 (Tamoxifen) deletor. To gain mechanistic insight how Lkb1 maintains intestinal epithelial stem cell homeostasis, Lkb1 deficient ISCs (Lgr5-high cells) and progenitors (Lgr5-low cells) are isolated by flow cytometry and profiled by RNA sequencing to compare with controls (Lkb1 wild type ISCs and progenitors).

Diet-induced alteration of intestinal stem cell identity and lineage allocation underlies obesity and pre-diabetes in mice

Project description:Excess nutrient uptake and altered hormone secretion in the gut contribute to a systemic energy imbalance causing obesity and increased risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and colorectal cancer. This functional maladaptation is thought to emerge at the level of the intestinal stem cells (ISCs). But, how an obesogenic diet affects ISC identity and fate decisions is not well understood. Here, we study the intestinal responses to an obesogenic diet in mice by combining single-cell profiling of more than 27,000 small intestinal crypt cells with genetic lineage labelling and tracing of ISC fate decisions and in situ metabolomics. We find that an obesogenic diet induces ISC and progenitor hyperproliferation, but also enhances ISC differentiation and cell turnover. Furthermore, the regional identity of ISCs and enterocytes is reprogrammed from a distal to a proximal phenotype and enterocyte zonation is altered to adapt cell function to nutrient availability. Single-cell resolution of the enteroendocrine lineage shows an increase in endocrine progenitors and peptidergic enteroendocrine cell (EEC) types and a decrease in serotonergic EEC types. Mechanistically, we can link increased fatty acid synthesis, Ppar signalling and the Insr/Igf1r/Akt pathway to ISC dysfunction, hyperproliferation and impaired endocrine differentiation. In summary, our work describes key molecular mechanisms of diet-induced intestinal maladaptation in mice that promote obesity, and, thus, underlie the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome and associated complications.

Region-specific proteome changes of the intestinal epithelium during aging and dietary restriction

Project description:The small intestine is responsible for nutrient absorption and it is one of the most important interfaces between the environment and our body. During aging, changes in the structure of the epithelium lead to food malabsorption and reduced barrier function thus increasing disease risk in aging. The molecular drivers of these alterations remain poorly understood. Here, we compared the proteomes of small intestinal crypts from mice across different anatomical regions and age groups. We found that aging alters epithelial immune responses, metabolic networks and stem cell proliferation, and it is accompanied by a region-dependent skewing in the cellular composition of the intestinal epithelium. Of note, a short period of dietary restriction followed by re-feeding partially restores the epithelium to a youthful state by promoting the differentiation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) towards the secretory lineage. Using in vitro and in vivo studies, we identify Hmgcs2 (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthetase 2) – the rate limiting enzyme in the synthesis of ketone bodies – as a modulator of ISCs differentiation, which responds to dietary changes. This study provides an atlas of age-dependent proteome changes in defined regions of the intestinal epithelium and characterizes how young and old mice adapt to drastic changes of diet, such as dietary restriction and re-feeding.
