Project description:Expression profiles obtained from the villus and crypt layers of murine large intestine can elucidate the process of differentiation undergone by epithelial cells as they migrate from the undifferentiated bottom of the crypt to the villus tip before being shed into the intestinal lumen. This series includes profiles from wild type mice, as well as mice harboring mutations in genes (APC and p21) which play key roles in the differentiation process. We used microarrays to characterize gene expression profiles at the base of the crypt and at the villus tip of the lumenal layer of the large intestine in order to better understand the process of differentiation and eventual shedding undergone by cells of the large intestinal epithelium. Four wild type, four APC1638+/- and four p21-/- mice were sacrified and the large intestines dissected out. Cells from the villus tip and from the bottom of the crypt were isolated from the lumenal face of the each large intestine using the Weiser method of sequential elution. RNA was extracted from each eluted sample and used to hybridize to Affymetrix 3' expression arrays.

Project description:Genes encoding transcription factors function as hubs in gene regulatory networks because they encode DNA-binding proteins, which bind to promoters that carry their binding sites. In the present work we have studied gene regulatory networks defined by genes with transcripts belonging to different mRNA abundance classes in the small intestinal epithelial cell. The focus is the rewiring that occurs in transcription factor hubs in these networks during the differentiation of the small intestinal epithelial cell while it migrates along the crypt-villus axis and during its development from a fetal endodermal cell to a mature adult villus epithelial cell. We have generated transcriptome data for mouse small intestinal villus, crypt and fetal intestinal epithelial cells. In addition we have generated metabolome data from crypt and villus cells. Our results show that the intestinal crypt transcription factor hubs that are rewired during differentiation are involved in the cell cycle process (E2F, NF-Y) and stem cell maintenance (c-Myc). In contrast the villi are dominated by a HNF-4 villus hub, which is rewired during differentiation by the addition of network genes with relevance for lipoprotein synthesis and lipid absorption. Moreover, we have identified a villus NF-kB hub, which was revealed by comparison of the villus and endoderm transcriptomes. The rewiring of the NF-kB villus hub during intestinal development reflects transcriptional activity established by host and microflora interactions. To aid in the mining of our results we have developed a web portal (http://gastro.imbg.ku.dk/mousecv/) allowing easy linkage between the transcriptomic data, biological processes and functions.

Project description:We developed a compartmental model of the small intestinal epithelium that describes stem and progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation and cell migration onto the villus. The model includes a negative feedback loop from villus cells to regulate crypt proliferation and integrates heterogeneous epithelial-related processes, such as the transcriptional profile, citrulline kinetics and probability of diarrhea.

Project description:The protective and absorptive functions of the intestinal epithelium rely on differentiated enterocytes in the villi. The differentiation of enterocytes is orchestrated by sub-epithelial mesenchymal cells producing distinct ligands along the villus axis, in particular Bmps and Tgf. Here we show that individual Bmp ligands and Tgf drive distinct enterocytic programs specific to villus zonation. Bmp4 is expressed mainly from the centre to the upper part of the villus, and it activates preferentially genes connected to lipid uptake and metabolism. In contrast, Bmp2 is produced by villus-tip mesenchymal cells, and it influences the adhesive properties of villus-tip epithelial cells and the expression of antimicrobial peptides. Hence, Bmp2 promotes the terminal enterocytic differentiation at the villus-tip. Additionally, Tgf induces an epithelial gene expression programs similar to that triggered by Bmp2. The inhibition of Bmp receptor type I in vivo and using intestinal organoids lacking Smad4 revealed that Bmp2-driven villus-tip program is activated by a canonical Smad-dependent mechanism. Finally, we established an organoid cultivation system that enriches for villus-tip enterocytes and thereby better mimics the cellular composition of the intestinal epithelium. Altogether our data suggest that not only Bmp gradient, but also the activity of individual Bmp drives specific enterocytic programs.

Project description:To assess the role of LSD1 in mouse small intestinal epithelium, we isolated small intestinal crypts and villus from wild type (WT) (Villin-Cre -; Lsd1f/f) and intestinal-epithelial-specific knock-out (cKO) (Villin-Cre+; Lsd1f/f) mice. This experiment uses a new Cre strain with 100% deletion efficiency. RNA was directly isolated from intestinal crypt and villus, and this was used for RNAseq. Gene expression analysis of cKO derived crypt and villus provides a spatially restricted outlook on the maturation status of the intestinal epithelium in the villi and the absence of Paneth cells in the crypt.

Project description:Krüppel-like factor 9 (Klf9), a zinc-finger transcription factor, is implicated in the control of cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell fate in brain and uterus. Using Klf9 null mutant mice, we have investigated the involvement of Klf9 in small intestine crypt-villus cell renewal and lineage determination. We report the predominant expression of Klf9 gene in small intestine smooth muscle (muscularis externa). Jejunums null for Klf9 have shorter villi, reduced crypt stem/transit cell proliferation, and altered lineage determination as indicated by decreased and increased numbers of Goblet and Paneth cells, respectively. A stimulatory role for Klf9 in villus cell migration was demonstrated by BrdU labeling. Results suggest that Klf9 controls the elaboration, from small intestine smooth muscle, of molecular mediator(s) of crypt cell proliferation and lineage determination, and of villus cell migration.

Project description:Mouse models of intestinal crypt cell differentiation and tumorigenesis have been used to characterize the molecular mechanisms underlying both processes. DNA methylation is a key epigenetic mark and plays an important role in cell identity and differentiation programs and cancer. To get insights into the dynamics of cell differentiation and malignant transformation we have compared the DNA methylation profiles along the mouse small intestine crypt and early stages of carcinogenesis. Genome-scale analysis of DNA methylation together with microarray gene expression have been applied to compare intestinal crypt stem cells (EphB2positive), differentiated cells (EphB2negative), ApcMin/+ adenomas and the corresponding non-tumor adjacent tissue, together with small and large intestine samples and the colon cancer cell line CT26. Compared with late stages, small intestine crypt differentiation and early stages of carcinogenesis display few and relatively small changes in DNA methylation. Hypermethylated loci are largely shared by the two processes and affect the proximities of promoter and enhancer regions, with enrichment in genes regulated by PRC2 and associated with the intestinal stem cell signature. The hypermethylation is progressive, with minute levels in differentiated cells, as compared with intestinal stem cells, and reaching full methylation in advanced stages. Hypomethylation shows different signatures in differentiation and cancer and is already present in the non-tumor tissue adjacent to the adenomas in ApcMin/+mice, but at lower levels than advanced cancers. Taking into account the parallelisms between human and mouse intestinal carcinogenesis, this study provides a reference framework to interpret the alterations found in human cancer. We have analyzed ApcMin/+ adenomas and the corresponding non-tumor adjacent tissue, together with small and large intestine samples and the colon cancer cell line CT26. Samples were in triplicates, except for tissue adjacent to adenoma (in duplicates).

Project description:We analyzed chromatin modifications, DNaseI-hypersensitive sites, and occupancy of a key secretory-lineage transcription factor, ATOH1. We found that lateral inhibition in the intestine occurs through ATOH1 exerting direct control within a broadly permissive chromatin state that is established in stem cells and is highly similar in specified progenitors of divergent potential. Mapping chromatin modifications (H3K4me2 and H3K27ac), DNaseI hypersensitivity (DHS), and ATOH1 binding sites in isolated intestinal crypt progenitors and mature intestinal villus cells.
