WT/AtohKO/TNFdARE Ileum

ABSTRACT: An inverse correlation between countries endemic for helminth infestation and Crohn's disease (CD) incidences has been reinforced by anecdotal but successful cases of helminth therapy for CD. Recent studies have revealed that tuft cells in the small intestine are critical for sensing helminths and directing a type 2 immune response to counteract colonization. Here, we establish an inverse relationship between chemosensory tuft cells and local tissue inflammation in CD patients as well as an established mouse model of TNF-á-induced Crohn's-like ileitis (TNFÄARE). Using a combination of mouse and organoid models, single-cell RNA-sequencing, multiplex immunofluorescence, computational analysis, metabolite mass spectrometry, and microbiome sequencing and manipulation, we identified Atonal Homolog 1 (ATOH1)-independent tuft cells, as opposed to ATOH1-dependent tuft cells, to be responsive to the commensal microbiome through the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolite succinate. To evaluate the ability of the malleable, ATOH1-independent tuft cell population to suppress intestinal inflammation, we administered succinate to TNFÄARE animals post onset of ileal inflammatory disease. We observed significantly reduced pathology that is exquisitely dependent on succinate-induced tuft cell specification in the disease model, leading to an anti-helminth response previously shown to suppress inflammation. Inflammation suppression was triggered by cytokines critical to anti-helminthic response, such as IL-22, IL-25, and IL-13. We provide evidence implicating the modulatory role of intestinal tuft cells in chronic intestinal inflammation, which could enable the development of CD therapies around leveraging this rare and elusive cell type.

Dietary Succinate Supplementation Alleviates DSS-Induced Colitis via the IL-4Rα/Hif-1α Axis

Project description:Succinate administration induced characteristic type 2 immunity via the tuft cell-ILC2 immune circuit, significantly ameliorating DSS-induced colonic inflammation by enhancing bactericidal capacity, reducing intestinal permeability, and modulating cytokine profiles in the colon. Succinate promoted expansion of myeloid cells in peripheral blood, mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), and colonic lamina propria. The protective effect of succinate was abolished in Ccr2-/- mice but maintained in Rag1-/- mice. Adoptive transfer of monocytes from succinate-treated donors to naïve recipient mice mitigated intestinal inflammation. RNA-seq revealed increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and lactate upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation in monocytes from succinate-treated mice. Moreover, the critical role of the IL-4Rα/Hif-1α axis in succinate-mediated protection was delineated.

Genetic mapping reveals Pou2af2-dependent tuning of tuft cell differentiation and intestinal type 2 immunity

Project description:Chemosensory epithelial tuft cells contribute to innate immunity at barrier surfaces, but their differentiation from epithelial progenitors is not well understood. Here we exploited differences between inbred mouse strains to identify an epithelium-intrinsic mechanism that regulates tuft cell differentiation and tunes innate type 2 immunity in the small intestine. Balb/cJ (Balb) mice had fewer intestinal tuft cells than C57BL/6J (B6) mice and failed to respond to the tuft cell ligand succinate. A majority of this differential succinate response was determined by a single genetic locus from 50-67Mb on chromosome 9 (Chr9). Congenic Balb mice carrying the B6 Chr9 locus had elevated baseline numbers of tuft cells and responded to succinate. The Chr9 locus includes Pou2af2, a transcriptional cofactor essential for tuft cell development. Epithelial crypts expressed a previously unannotated short isoform of Pou2af2 that uses a novel transcriptional start site and encodes a non-functional protein. Low tuft cell numbers and the resulting lack of succinate response in Balb mice was explained by a preferential expression of the short isoform. Physiologically, differential Pou2af2 isoform usage tuned innate type 2 immunity in the small intestine. Balb mice maintained responsiveness to helminth pathogens while ignoring commensal Tritrichomonas protists and reducing norovirus burdens.

The taste receptor TAS1R3 regulates small intestinal tuft cell homeostasis

Project description:Tuft cells are an epithelial cell subset critical for initiating type 2 immune responses to parasites and protozoa in the small intestine. To respond to these stimuli, intestinal tuft cells use taste chemosensory signaling pathways, but the role of taste receptors in type 2 immunity is poorly understood. Here, we show that the taste receptor TAS1R3, which detects sweet and umami in the tongue, also regulates tuft cell responses in the distal small intestine. BALB/c mice, which have an inactive form of TAS1R3, as well as Tas1r3-deficient C57BL6/J mice both have severely impaired responses to tuft cell-inducing signals in the ileum including the protozoa Tritrichomonas muris and succinate. In contrast, TAS1R3 is not required to mount an immune response to the helminth Heligmosomoides polygyrus, which infects the proximal small intestine. Examination of uninfected Tas1r3-/- mice revealed a modest reduction in the number of tuft cells in the proximal small intestine but a severe decrease in the distal small intestine at homeostasis. Together, these results suggest that TAS1R3 influences intestinal immunity by shaping the epithelial cell landscape at steady state.

Differential role of IL-23 and IL-17 in intestinal regulation

Project description:Interleukin-23 (IL-23) and IL-17 are cytokines currently being targeted in clinical trials. Although inhibition of these cytokines is effective for treating psoriasis, IL-12/23 inhibition attenuates Crohn's disease, while IL-17A or IL-17RA inhibition exacerbates disease. This dichotomy between IL-23 and IL-17 was effectively modeled in the mdr1a- /- mouse model of colitis. IL-23 inhibition attenuated disease by decreasing colonic inflammation while enhancing Treg accumulation. Exacerbation of colitis by IL-17A or IL-17RA inhibition was associated with severe weakening of the intestinal epithelial barrier, culminating in increased colonic inflammation and accelerated mortality. These data show that IL-17A acts on intestinal epithelium to promote barrier function and provides insight into mechanisms underlying exacerbation of Crohn's disease when IL-17A or IL-17RA is inhibited.

Isobaric labeling-based quantitative proteomics of cells purified from the intestine of Crohn’s disease patients reveals immune cell-epithelial cell crosstalk of potential importance in disease pathogenesis

Project description:Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent flares of inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Despite decades of research, the etiology of CD is poorly understood and is characterized by dysregulated immune activation that progressively destroys the gastrointestinal tissue. At the center of the pathology is the intestinal mucosa, where the epithelium and the lamina propria are main cellular compartments. While the epithelium contains predominantly epithelial cells, the lamina propria is enriched in immune cells and contains supporting stroma. Thus, the cells constituting these compartments can be classified as epithelial cells, immune cells and stromal cells. Gaining insight into how these cell types interact with each other is important to further our understanding of CD pathogenesis. Here, using isobaric labeling-based quantitative proteomics, we perform an exploratory study to analyze in-depth proteome changes in epithelial cells, immune cells and stromal cells purified by cell sorting from the intestinal mucosa of CD patients and controls. Our workflow preserving the link between the different cell types in individuals opens the possibility to explore cellular crosstalk and to further refine data on cell-cell interactions in the development of CD.

Gut hepcidin: a key regulator of inflammation

Project description:Hepcidin is demonstrated to be the key iron regulatory hormone, produced by the liver. Here we show an unexpected role of hepcidin as a master initiator of the local and systemic inflammatory response. We found that hepcidin was highly expressed in the colon of two major idiopathic inflammatory bowel diseases : Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Thanks to the generation of intestinal specific hepcidin KO mice (Hepc{delta}int), we found in a DSS-induced colitis model that hepcidin mediated the induction of key inflammatory cytokines and was protective against intestinal injury. In a model of LPS-induced acute inflammation, intestinal hepcidin expression was increased through a TLR4 dependent pathway andwas required for intestinal neutrophil infiltration and inflammation. Strikingly, intestinal hepcidin was absolutely required for the systemic production of key inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, CXCL1, TNF-alpha ...) as well as for the setting of the hypoferremia of inflammation. In a sepsis model, Hepc{delta}int mice were protected against LPS-induced mortality. Mechanistically, we showed that hepcidin was a direct neutrophil chemoattractant and a proinflammatory molecule in macrophages through a Myd88 dependent pathway. Altogether, we demonstrated that Hepcidin is a key new essential component of the immune system and may be a promising target in many inflammatory diseases. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression of BMDM treat with hepcidin for 1 hour.
