Terminal differentiation of villus-tip enterocytes is governed by distinct members of Tgfb superfamily

ABSTRACT: 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.

Transcriptomes of adult sorted Epcam+ CD44- enterocytes from small intestine of wildtype and CmafLEC-KO mice

Project description:Small intestinal villi are highly specialized structural and functional units uniquely adapted to the absorption of nutrients in higher vertebrates. Intestinal villus enterocytes are organized in spatially resolved “zones” dedicated to specialized tasks, such as anti-bacterial protection, and absorption of amino-acids, carbohydrates and lipids. However, the molecular mechanisms for the establishment and maintenance of villus intestinal epithelial zonation are incompletely understood. Here, we show that transcription factor C-Maf is highly expressed in mature lower and mid-villus small intestinal enterocytes, where it is induced in response to BMP signaling. In vivo depletion of C-Maf in the adult enterocytes perturbed the villus epithelial zonation transcriptional program and enhanced the expression of genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism and bile acid regulation and transport, while suppressing genes related to amino acid transport and lipid metabolism. Loss of C-Maf under homeostatic conditions had no effect on body weight due to compensatory small intestinal remodeling, accompanied by increased generation of tuft cells and goblet cell hyperplasia. However, upon challenge with anti-metabolite therapy, C-Maf inactivation impaired body weight recovery, resulting in reduced survival, due to delayed enterocyte maturation. Our results identify a novel role for C-Maf in maintaining the zonation program of differentiated intestinal epithelium, by balancing absorptive versus secretory cell differentiation in the small intestine, while highlighting the importance of coordination between stem/progenitor cell and enterocyte differentiation programs for intestinal regeneration.

Transcriptome profiling of T84 colorectal carcinoma cells treated with receptor guanylyl cyclace C agonist (stable toxin)

Project description:Receptor guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C) is expressed in the intestinal epithelia and plays a key role in intestinal physiology. Activation of GC-C by its ligands has been shown to regulate proliferation and differentiation of enterocytes along the crypt-villus axis. This study aims to identify genes regulated by GC-C activation and elevation of cGMP in colorectal carcinoma cells. This will help understand the molecular targets and biological pathways regulated by GC-C to bring about cancer cell cytostasis. ST (Cy5) Vs. Control (Cy3), ST (Cy5) Vs. Control (Cy3)

Expression profiles of villus and crypt layers of large intestine from C57Bl/6, Apc1638N+/-, and p21-/- mice.

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.

Spatial reconstruction of single enterocytes uncovers broad zonation along the intestinal villus axis

Project description:The intestinal epithelium is a highly structured tissue composed of repeating crypt-villus units. Enterocytes, which constitute the most abundant cell type, perform the diverse tasks of absorbing a wide range of nutrients while protecting the body from the harsh bacterial-rich environment. It is unknown if these tasks are equally performed by all enterocytes or whether they are spatially zonated along the villus axis. Here, we performed whole-transcriptome measurements of laser-capture-microdissected villus segments to extract a large panel of landmark genes, expressed in a zonated manner. We used these genes to localize single sequenced enterocytes along the villus axis, thus reconstructing a global spatial expression map. We found that most enterocyte genes were zonated. Enterocytes at villi bottoms expressed an anti-bacterial Reg gene program in a microbiome-dependent manner, potentially reducing the crypt pathogen exposure. Translation, splicing and respiration genes steadily decreased in expression towards the villi tops, whereas distinct mid-top villus zones sub-specialized in the absorption of carbohydrates, peptides and fat. Enterocytes at the villi tips exhibited a unique gene-expression signature consisting of Klf4, Egfr, Neat1, Malat1, cell adhesion and purine metabolism genes. Our study exposes broad spatial heterogeneity of enterocytes, which could be important for achieving their diverse tasks.

Gene expression signatures for fractions of E7.5 whole embryos based on Endoglin and Flk-1 markers

Project description:Much remains unknown about the signals that induce early mesoderm to initiate hematopoietic differentiation. Here we show that endoglin (Eng), a receptor for the TGFÎ² superfamily, identifies all cells with hematopoietic fate in the early embryo. These arise in an Eng+Flk1+ mesodermal precursor population at E7.5, a cell fraction also endowed with endothelial potential. In Eng knockout embryos, hematopoietic colony activity and numbers of CD71+Ter119+ erythroid progenitors were severely reduced. This coincided with severely reduced expression of embryonic globin and key BMP target genes including the hematopoietic regulators Scl, Gata1, Gata2 and Msx-1. To interrogate molecular pathways active in the earliest hematopoietic progenitors, we applied transcriptional profiling to sorted cells from E7.5 embryos. Eng+Flk-1+ progenitors co-expressed TGFÎ² and BMP receptors and target genes. Furthermore, Eng+Flk-1+ cells presented high levels of phospho-SMAD1/5, indicating active TGFÎ² and/or BMP signaling. Remarkably, under hematopoietic serum-free culture conditions, hematopoietic outgrowth of endoglin-expressing cells was dependent on TGFÎ² superfamily ligands: BMP4, BMP2, or TGF-Î²1. These data demonstrate that the E+F+ fraction at E7.5 represents mesodermal cells competent to respond to TGFb1, BMP4, or BMP2, shaping their hematopoietic development, and that endoglin is a critical regulator in this process by modulating TGF/BMP signaling. E7.5 pooled embryos (25 litters; 300 embryos approximately) were dissected and 3,000 cells were sorted in triplicate for Eng-Flk1-, Eng-Flk1+, Eng+Flk1+, and Eng+Flk1- fractions. Microarray results were analyzed with GeneSpring GX software.
