Decoding Spatiotemporal Transcriptional Dynamics and Epithelial Fibroblast Crosstalk during Gastroesophageal Junction Development through Single Cell Analysis (Organoids)

ABSTRACT: The gastroesophageal squamocolumnar junction (GE-SCJ) is a critical tissue interface between the esophagus and stomach, with significant relevance in the pathophysiology of gastrointestinal diseases. Despite this, the molecular mechanisms underlying GE-SCJ development remain unclear. Using single-cell transcriptomics, organoids, and spatial analysis, we examine the cellular heterogeneity and spatiotemporal dynamics of GE-SCJ development from embryonic to adult mice. We identify distinct transcriptional states and signaling pathways in the epithelial and mesenchymal compartments of the esophagus and stomach during development. Fibroblast-epithelial interactions are mediated by various signaling pathways, including WNT, BMP, TGF-β, FGF, EGF, and PDGF. Our results suggest that fibroblasts predominantly send FGF and TGF-β signals to the epithelia, while epithelial cells mainly send PDGF and EGF signals to fibroblasts. We observe differences in the ligands and receptors involved in cell-cell communication between the esophagus and stomach. Our findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying GE-SCJ development and fibroblast-epithelial crosstalk involved, paving the way to elucidate mechanisms during adaptive metaplasia development and carcinogenesis.

Epithelial expressions of Gata4 and Sox2 regulate murine specification of the squamous–columnar junction via MAPK/ERK signaling

Project description:The squamous–columnar junction (SCJ) is a boundary consisting of precisely positioned transitional epithelium between the squamous and columnar epithelium. Transitional epithelium is a hotspot for precancerous lesions, and is therefore clinically important; however, the origins and physiological properties of transitional epithelium have not been fully elucidated. Here, by using mouse genetics, lineage tracing, and organoid culture, we examine the development of the SCJ in the mouse stomach, and thus define the unique features of transitional epithelium. We find that two transcription factors, encoded by Sox2 and Gata4, specify primitive transitional epithelium into squamous and columnar epithelium. The proximal–distal segregation of Sox2 and Gata4 expression establishes the boundary of the unspecified transitional epithelium between committed squamous and columnar epithelium. Mechanistically, Gata4-mediated expression of the morphogen Fgf10 in the distal stomach and Sox2-mediated Fgfr2 expression in the proximal stomach induce the intermediate regional activation of MAPK/ERK, which prevents the differentiation of transitional epithelial cells at the SCJ boundary. Our results have implications for tissue regeneration and tumorigenesis, which are related to the SCJ.

Transcriptional landscape of BE disease progression

Project description:Our mouse model of BE in which overexpression of IL-1b in the squamous esophagus induces chronic inflammation leads to metaplasia and dysplasia at the squamo-columnar junction (SCJ) in the mouse gastro-esophageal junction resembles the human disease. Adult L2-IL1b mice were employed to investigate changes to the transcriptional landscape at the SCJ during disease progression from BE to EAC following pharmaceutical or genetic perturbations of interest to BE biology.

Transcription profiling of human fibroblasts stimulated with PDGF-BB or b-FGF

Project description:We analyzed gene expression in human fibroblasts stimulated by platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) for 1h and 24h. The results of two independent experiments were merged. SAM analysis identified 116 relevant probe sets. Hierarchical clustering of these probe sets showed divergent early gene regulation by PDGF and FGF but overlapping late response. We first analyzed genes commonly regulated by PDGF-BB and b-FGF more than 2 fold after 24h of stimulation and we found that these two growth factors activated SREBP and E2F and repressed FOXO. We then focused on the early gene expression response induced by both growth factors. We performed a fold change analysis and found 114 probe sets regulated by PDGF-BB and 42 probe sets regulated by b-FGF, 37 of which were shared between the two gene lists . We found by data mining that both PDGF-BB and b-FGF activated AP-1 and NF-kB. Next we analyzed genes specifically regulated by PDGF-BB and found that STATs are specifically activated by PDGF and not by FGF. Experiment Overall Design: Human foreskin fibroblasts (AG01518) were cultured (1.5E6 cells/10 cm dish) in MEM medium with 10% fetal calf serum and glutamine for 24h, then washed and incubated for 47h in serum-free medium. Cells were stimulated for 1h by PDGF-BB (25ng/ml) or b-FGF (10ng/ml, + heparine 50 microg/ml). Alternatively, cells were incubated for 24h in starvation medium and treated for 24h with growth factors, or left untreated for 48h in serum-free medium (control treatment). Experiment Overall Design: Two biological replicates were performed

PDGF and FGF treatment in E13.5 MEPMs

Project description:Receptor tyrosine kinase signaling is critical for mammalian craniofacial development, but the key downstream transcriptional effectors remain unknown. We demonstrate that SRF is induced by both PDGF and FGF signaling in mouse embryonic palatal mesenchyme cells, and Srf neural crest conditional mutants exhibit facial clefting accompanied by proliferation and migration defects. Srf and Pdgfra mutants interact genetically in craniofacial development, but Srf and Fgfr1 mutants do not. This signal specificity is recapitulated at the level of cofactor activation: while both PDGF and FGF target gene promoters show enriched genome-wide overlap with SRF ChIP-seq peaks, PDGF selectively activates a network of MRTF-dependent cytoskeletal genes. Collectively, our results identify a novel role for SRF in proliferation and migration during craniofacial development and delineate a mechanism of receptor tyrosine kinase specificity mediated through differential cofactor usage, leading to a unique PDGF-responsive SRF-driven transcriptional program in the midface.

Transcription profile of primordium gut organs

Project description:The mechanisms of gastrointestinal morphogenesis in mammals are not well understood. This is partly due to the lack of organ specific gene expression pattern in the gastrointestinal tract during development. The initiation of organ bud formation occurs at E9.5-E11.5 in mice. These primordia for the digestive organs, including esophagus, stomach, and intestine, protrude from a tube-like structured endoderm, and have their own distinct morphogenesis. Thus, using mouse embryos, we surveyed transcription of prospective these three regions at E11.5 during gastrointestinal morphogenesis. This early digestive organ specific transcription profile will be useful for understanding of the mechanisms of gastrointestinal development. Mouse gut organs morphogenesis begin at E9.5-E11.5. The primordium esophagus, stomach, and intestine at E11.5 were dissected and analysed transcription profile.

The gene expression profile of PDGF-treated neural stem cells corresponds to partially differentiated neurons and glia

Project description:Understanding and controlling stem cell differentiation in vitro is critical for the development of stem cell-based therapies. We have previously shown that platelet-derived growth factor AA (PDGF-AA) stimulates the expansion of neuronal progenitors from neural stem cells, but is unable to replace fibroblast-growth factor 2 (FGF-2) as a stem cell mitogen. In the present study, we compared gene expression in neural stem cells that were grown in the presence of FGF-2 to that of cells cultured with PDGF-AA or in the absence of growth factor, which induces differentiation. Most of the transcripts enriched in FGF-2-treated cells were connected to cell division (70%) and showed limited overlap with previously described stem cell transcriptional signatures. PDGF-AA significantly regulated 156 genes, 146 of which were also modified by differentiation in the absence of growth factor. The latter condition affected the expression of 153 additional genes which were regulated less than two fold by PDGF-AA. Among the genes induced by differentiation was the PDGF-A gene itself, suggesting that in the absence of exogenously added growth factors, cells make their own PDGF-AA in an autocrine manner. In addition, we identified several poorly characterized transcripts that were highly regulated and may play a role in stem cell differentiation. Our results suggest that the genetic program elicited by PDGF-AA is not unique, but an intermediate between the ones of FGF-2-cultured stem cells and differentiated cells. These observations are compatible with the hypothesis that PDGF-AA induces a partial differentiation of neural stem cells, which retain the ability to proliferate. Keywords: treatment comparison
