DNA methylation analysis validates organoids as a viable model for studying human intestinal aging (expression)

ABSTRACT: The epithelia of the intestine and colon turn over rapidly and are maintained by adult stem cells at the base of crypts. While the small intestine and colon have distinct, well-characterized physiological functions, it remains unclear if there are fundamental regional differences in stem cell behavior or region-dependent degenerative changes during aging. Mesenchyme-free organoids provide useful tools for investigating intestinal stem cell biology in vitro and have started to be utilized for investigating age-related changes in stem cell function. However, it is unknown whether organoids maintain hallmarks of age in the absence of an aging niche. Here we test whether stem cell enriched organoids preserve the DNA methylation-based aging profiles associated with the tissues and crypts from which they were derived. To address this, we use standard human methylation arrays and the human 'epigenetic clock' as a biomarker of age to analyze in vitro derived three-dimensional stem cell-enriched intestinal organoids. We find that human stem cell-enriched spheroids maintain segmental differences in methylation patterns and that age, as measured by the epigenetic clock, is largely maintained in spheroids. Surprisingly, we find that small intestine spheroids exhibit striking epigenetic age reduction relative to colon spheroids.

Long-term in vitro expansion of epithelial organoids from human colon, adenoma, adenocarcinoma and Barrett's Esophagus

Project description:Background & Aims: We have recently established long-term culture conditions under which single crypts or stem cells derived from murine small intestine expand over long periods of time. Growing crypts undergo multiple crypt fission events, whilst simultaneously generating villus-like epithelial domains in which all differentiated cell types are present. We have now adapted the culture conditions to grow similar epithelial organoids from mouse colon and human small intestine and colon. Methods: Based on the murine small intestinal culture system, we optimized the murine and human colon culture system. Results: Addition of Wnt3A to the growth factor cocktail allowed mouse colon crypts to expand indefinitely. Further addition of nicotinamide, a small molecule Alk inhibitor and a p38 inhibitor was essential for long-term human small intestine and colon culture. The culture system also allowed growth of murine Apcmin adenomas, human colorectal cancer and human esophageal metaplastic Barrett’s epithelium. Conclusion: The culture technology should be widely applicable as a research tool for infectious, inflammatory and neoplastic pathologies of the human gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, regenerative applications may become feasible with ex vivo expanded intestinal epithelia. Human organoids were grown embedded in Matrigel in HISC (Human intestinal stem cell culture) medium. Additionally, human small intestinal crypts and villi were isolated independently from a freshly operated sample. RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Micro kit (Qiagen). Samples were labled according to Agilent guidelines with Cy3, whereas human reference RNA (Stratagene) was labeled in Cy5. Feature Extraction Software was used to extract and normalize data.

Identification of Lgr5-independent spheroid-generating progenitors of the mouse fetal intestinal epithelium

Project description:Immortal spheroids were generated from fetal mouse intestine using the culture system developed to culture organoids from adult intestinal epithelium. Spheroids are made of a monostratified polarized epithelium displaying a poorly differentiated intestinal phenotype. The proportion of spheroids generated from intestinal explants progressively decreases from fetal to postnatal period, with a corresponding increase in production of organoids. Spheroid cells show indefinite self-renewing properties but exhibit a transcriptome strikingly different from that of adult intestinal stem cells reminiscent of incompletely caudalized progenitors. The receptor Lgr4, but not Lgr5, is essential for their growth. Trop2/Tacstd2 and Cnx43/Gja1, two markers highly enriched in spheroids, are expressed throughout the E14 intestinal epithelium. Comparison of in utero and neonatal lineage tracing using Cnx43-CreER and Lgr5-CreERT2 mice identified spheroid-generating cells as developmental progenitors involved in generation of the prenatal intestinal epithelium. Ex vivo, spheroid cells have the potential to differentiate into organoids, thus qualifying them as a new type of intestinal stem-like cells. Two-channel microarray experiments were performed from spheroid/organoid pairs isolated each from a given embryo. Following initial seeding of small intestine from a given embryo/mouse (at E16, E18 or P0), spheroids and organoids were selectively picked up for each animal and replated for 3 passages to reach sample homogeneity. Hybridization was performed on the 4 independent pairs with dye-swap.

DNA methylation entropy as a measure of stem cell replication and aging [BiSulfite-seq]

Project description:We report age related DNA methylation changes in mice in Small intestine, Colon, Heart, Lungs, Liver, Spleen, Kidney and Whole hlood across 3 different aging timepoints (4 month, 12 month, 24 month). For small intestine and colon there are 4 aging time points ( 4 month, 12 month, 18 month and 24 month)

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.

R-spondin 1 and noggin facilitate expansion of resident stem cells from non-damaged gallbladders.

Project description:Pioneering studies within the last few years have allowed the in vitro expansion of tissue-specific adult stem cells from a variety of endoderm-derived organs, including the stomach, small intestine and colon. Here we derived organoids from mouse gallbladder tissue (gallbladder organoids), from mouse liver (including the extrahepatic biliary ducts and gallbladder; liver organoids) and from mouse small intestine tissue (intestinal organoids). RNA was prepared from these organoids and used to assay expression of 21,258 genes using Affymetrix gene expression arrays. RNA was also prepared from mouse gallbladder, liver and small intestine tissues and used to assay gene expression in these tissues. Finally, gallbladder organoids were induced to differentiate by removing R-spondin 1 and noggin from the culture media and subjected to gene expression array analysis. RNA was extracted from mouse gallbladder organoids, differentiated gallbladder organoids, liver organoids, small intestine organoids, gallbladder tissue, liver tissue and small intestine tissue and then used for hybridization of Affymetrix gene expression microarrays.

Multiomic (Joint snRNA/snATAC) sequencing data of intestinal crypts and epithelial only organoids derived from human fetal duodenum

Project description:Here, we used joint single-nuclei RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) and single-nuclei ATAC sequencing (scATAC) to profile freshly isolated crypts from the human fetal intestine and matched intestinal epithelial only organoids (also known as enteroids) derived from these crypts after one passage of in vitro growth. Organoids were grown in the standard 25% LWRN media with either 100 ng/ml of EGF or 1 ng/ml of EREG added. Fresh crypts were not placed in culture but rather immediately frozen for multiomic processing.
