High Sox2 expression predicts taste lineage competency of lingual progenitors in vitro

ABSTRACT: Taste buds on the tongue are collections of taste receptor cells (TRCs) that detect sweet, sour, salty, umami and bitter stimuli. Like non-taste lingual epithelium, TRCs are renewed from basal keratinocytes, many of which express the transcription factor SOX2. Genetic lineage tracing has shown SOX2+ lingual progenitors give rise to both taste and non-taste lingual epithelium in the posterior circumvallate taste papilla (CVP) of mice. However, SOX2 is variably expressed among CVP cells suggesting that their progenitor potential may vary. Using transcriptome analysis and organoid technology, we show highly expressing SOX2+ cells are taste-competent progenitors that give rise to organoids comprising both TRCs and lingual epithelium, while organoids derived from low-expressing SOX2+ progenitors are composed entirely of non-taste cells. Hedgehog and WNT/ß-catenin are required for taste homeostasis in adult mice, but only WNT/ß-catenin promotes TRC differentiation in vitro and does so only in organoids derived from higher SOX2+ taste lineage-competent progenitors.

Fine tuning of epithelial taste bud organoid to promote functional recapitulation of taste reactivity

Project description:Taste stem/progenitor cells from the mouse posterior tongue have been recently used to generate taste bud organoids. However, the inaccessible location of the taste receptor cells is observed in conventional organoids. Here, we established a suspension culture method for fine tuning of taste bud organoid by apicobasal polarity alteration to form the accessible localization of taste receptor cells in organoid. Compared to conventional Matrigel-embedded organoids, suspension-cultured organoids showed comparable differentiation and renewal rates to those of taste buds in vivo and exhibited functional taste receptor cells and cycling progenitor cells. Accessible taste receptor cells on the outer region of taste bud organoids enabled the direct application of calcium imaging for evaluating the taste response. Moreover, suspension-cultured organoids could be genetically altered using gene editing methods. Suspension-cultured taste bud organoid harmoniously integrated with the recipient lingual epithelium; maintained the taste receptor cells and gustatory innervation capacity. Thus, we propose that suspension-cultured organoids may provide efficient model for taste research including taste bud development, regeneration and transplantation

Pig Taste Cell-Derived Organoids Synthesize Insulin

Project description:Previously we showed that taste receptor cells in situ in taste buds synthesize insulin. Here we describe a model of pig taste organoid culture in which we have promoted insulin expression by induction of quiescence. The cellular heterogeneity of the lingual epithelium is maintained in the organoids, and stem cell type and organoid architecture can be controlled through changes in media composition and/or use of static versus dynamic culture. Pig taste organoids were maintained long term and organoids cultured in low sheer stress dynamic exhibited an architecture and expression profile akin to the native tissue. Porcine taste organoids also contained insulin, and the insulin critical transcription factors MAFA and PAX4. These results provide a pig model of taste organoid culture that can be used universally and bring us closer to the use of the taste tissue as a new renewable source of beta cells

Single cell mRNA sequencing on esophageal and lingual cells

Project description:In this study, we uncovered through single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of mouse esophagus epithelium a population of taste buds clustered in the cervical segment of the esophagus. We compared this taste bud population to their lingual counterpart. We concluded that these taste buds have the same cellular composition than the ones from the tongue. State-of-the-art transcriptional regulatory network analysis allowed the identification of specific transcription factors associated to the differentiation of immature progenitors into the three different taste bud cell types in the tongue and the esophagus.

Onset of taste cell renewal starts at birth and coincides with a shift in SHH function

Project description:RNAseq was employed to profile taste progenitors (SOX2-GFPhigh) and non-taste epithelial progenitors (SOX2-GFPlow) at the onset of taste cell renewal at birth. This dataset was acquired via FACS of SOX2-GFP+ epithelial cells from SOX2gfp/+ mouse pups at P0.

mRNA sequencing of epithelial cells from the esophagus and tongue

Project description:In this study, we used RNA sequencing to characterize a new population of taste buds found in the esophagus and compared them to their lingual counterpart. We concluded that esophageal taste buds share many markers with lingual taste buds althoug they seem to express less taste receptors in average.

Sour Sensing from the Tongue to the Brain

Project description:The ability to sense sour provides an important sensory signal to prevent the ingestion of unripe, spoiled or fermented foods. Taste and somatosensory receptors in the oral cavity trigger aversive behaviors in response to acid stimuli. Here we show that the ion channel Otopetrin-1, a proton-selective channel normally involved in the sensation of gravity in the vestibular system, is essential for sour-sensing in the taste system. We demonstrate that a knockout of Otop1 eliminates acid responses from sour-sensing taste-receptor-cells (TRCs). In addition, we show that mice engineered to express otopetrin-1 in sweet TRCs now have sweet cells that also respond to sour stimuli. Next, we genetically identified the taste ganglion neurons mediating each of the five basic taste qualities, and demonstrate that sour taste uses its own dedicated labeled line from TRCs in the tongue to finely tuned taste neurons in the brain to trigger aversive behaviors.

Expression data from macaque taste buds and lingual epithelium

Project description:Efforts to unravel the mechanisms underlying taste sensation (gustation) have largely focused on rodents. The first comprehensive database of gene expression in primate (Macaca fascicularis) taste buds is presented. This database provides a foundation for further studies in diverse aspects of taste biology. A taste bud gene expression database was generated using laser capture microdissection (LCM) of tissue freeze medium OTC embedded macaque tongue tissue blocks. We collected fungiform (FG) taste buds at the front of the tongue, circumvallate (CV) taste buds at the back of the tongue, as well as non-gustatory lingual epithelium (LE). Gene expression was also analyzed in the top and bottom portions of CV taste buds collected using LCM. Samples were collected from 10 animals - 7 female, 3 male.

Generation of esophageal organoids from human pluripotent stem cells and their use to study human development

Project description:Tracheoesophageal disorders and diseases are prevalent in humans such that an organoid model of human esophagus could be greatly beneficial. We therefore established a three-dimensional esophageal organoid culture system through the directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). We identified that sequential manipulation of several signaling pathways resulted in patterning of definitive endoderm to dorsal anterior foregut spheroids (dAFGs). Outgrowth of dAFGs for 1-2 months resulted in human esophageal organoids (HEOs) with a stratified squamous epithelium comparable to a late gestation mouse embryonic esophagus. These 1 and 2 month old HEOs were harvested for RNA to transcriptionally profile and compare them to profiles of esophageal tissue biopsies and keratinocytes. We then used HEOs and mouse embryos to identify how SOX2 mediates separation of the esophageal and respiratory lineages and found that loss of endodermal Sox2 results in complete esophageal agenesis. Using a SOX2 CRISPR interference iPS line, we generated dorsal and ventral anterior foregut progenitors (by manipulating BMP signaling) with or without SOX2-knockdown. At the transcriptional level, SOX2 acts to promote esophageal specification in both mice and humans in part by inhibiting Wnt signaling in the dorsal AFG and promoting survival of esophageal epithelium. In addition to this use of hPSC-derived esophageal organoids to study development, HEOs can be used for future studies of esophageal pathologies, such as Barrett’s metaplasia and carcinoma.
