The crosstalk between BMP and Wnt signaling establishes the equilibrium of villus length in mammalian small intestine

ABSTRACT: The precise regulatory mechanisms governing the quantitative balance of epithelial cells in the small intestine have long remained elusive. In this study, we reveal a gradual strengthening of BMP signaling from the proximal to distal segments. Through the utilization of genetically engineered mice, we demonstrate that BMP signaling plays a pivotal role in governing villus length. Furthermore, employing mathematical modeling, we uncover that BMP signaling acts as a cellular positional information sensor, orchestrating cell apoptosis and inhibiting cell proliferation. This collective regulation of cellular processes leads to the observed disparities in villus length between the proximal and distal segments of the small intestine. Notably, BMP signaling inhibits Wnt signaling to control the rate of villus growth, while Wnt signaling reciprocally upregulates BMP to maintain villus length under conditions of excessive proliferation. The spatial crosstalk between BMP and Wnt signaling networks collectively ensures the homeostasis of villus length. Our comprehensive investigation of the key factors underlying the gradient differences in villus length provides crucial insights for a deeper understanding of the functional dynamics of the small intestine.

Gall2023 - Agent-based model of the intestinal epithelium

Project description:The small intestinal crypt exhibits a defined spatial organisation involving multiple cell types that undergo continuous proliferation and differentiation while migrating towards the villus. We have built a multi-scale agent-based model (ABM), with individual cells interacting in the crypt geometry, which reproduces the self-organizing stable behaviour reported for the crypt. In our ABM, spatial organization emerges from the dynamic interaction of multiple signalling pathways, which include the Wnt, Notch, BMP and RNF43/ZNRF3 pathways that orchestrate cellular fate and mechanisms of contact inhibition of proliferation as well as feedback loops that regulate the expansion of the niche and size of the crypt. Moreover, this dynamic signalling network interacts with the main cell cycle proteins, governing the progression of each cell across the division stages.

Gene expression patterns in developing intestinal organoids exposed to prolonged FGF4- and Wnt-signaling

Project description:Based on the ability of FGF and/or WNT signaling to control posterior fate and intestinal lineage commitment, several groups have reported that treating mouse or human Pluripotent Stem Cell (PSC) derived definitive endoderm (DE) with small molecules or ligands that activate WNT signaling, or a combination of WNT and FGF signaling can induce an intestinal fate in human DE. In this current study, we leverage hESC derived human intestinal organoids (HIOs) to test the hypothesis that the duration of exposure to high levels of FGF and WNT signaling controls regional intestinal identity, with shorter durations generating intestine similar to the proximal duodenum, and longer durations distalizing HIOs to become similar to jejunum/ileum. Our results demonstrate that exposing human definitive endoderm (DE) cultures to short or long incubations of media that activate WNT and FGF siganling results in gene and protein expression profiles that are consistent with tissue that has been patterned into proximal (duodenum) or distal (ileum) small intestine, respectively.

Label-free and targeted mass tandem (TMT-labelled) global proteomic analyses on mucus from the stomach, small and large intestine of a domestic and laboratory dogs

Project description:Gastrointestinal (GI) mucus is continuously secreted and lines the entire length of the GI tract. Essential for health, it keeps the noxious luminal content away from the epithelium and propels forward the digesta. The aim of our study was to characterize the composition and structures of mucus throughout the various GI segments in dog. Mucus from the stomach, small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum), and large intestine (cecum, proximal and distal colon) was collected from 5 dogs. pH and water content of GI mucus and digesta were analyzed. Composition of all GI-tract segments from a domestic and a laboratory dog was determined by label-free global proteomics. A colonic-focussed composition analysis with TMT-labelled proteomics was used on jenunal and proximal and distal colonic mucus samples from 3 laboratory and 1 domestic dog. Finally, the composition of jejunal and colonic mucus samples of 3 laboratory and 1 domestic dog was evaluated with lipidomics and metabolomics. Structural properties were investigated using cryoSEM and rheology. The proteome was similar across the different GI segments. The highest abundant secreted gel-forming mucin in the gastric mucus was mucin 5AC, whether mucin 2 had highest abundance in the intestinal mucus. Lipid and metabolite abundance was generally higher in the jejunal mucus than the colonic mucus. In conclusion, the mucus is a highly viscous and hydrated material. The proteins, lipids and metabolites were similar throughout the GI tract, although abundances depended on location. These data provide an important baseline for future studies on human and canine intestinal diseases and the dog model in drug absorption.

Kruppel-like factor 5 is Required for Villus Formation and Terminal Differentiation of the Intestinal Epithelium

Project description:To identify putative KLF5 target genes that may mediate villus morphogenesis and epithelial maturation, we performed microarray analysis on intestinal samples isolated on E14.5, prior to the initiation of villus formation. Total RNA was isolated from dissected intestine segments located ~1.5 cm anterior to the cecum from E14.5 Klf5D/D and Klf5wt/wtShhEGFP/Cre+ embryos (n=3 samples/genotype, each sample a pool of two intestines). Gene expression profiles were compared using Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array. Genes involved in the regulation of "epithelial cell differentiation/maturation”, “cell adhesion”, and “lipid synthesis, metabolism, and localization”. Consistent with the lack of terminally differentiated cell types in the intestines of E18.5 Klf5D/D fetuses.

Intestinal epithelial cell diversity and function in respect to age, anatomical localization, and microbial exposure - the crypt/villus transcriptome

Project description:The small intestinal epithelium is composed of several defined epithelial cell lineages, which in turn exhibit marked transcriptional and functional diversity along the crypt-villus and proximal-to-distal length of the intestinal tract. While epithelial cell type and functional heterogeneity have been characterized in the adult intestinal epithelium, the temporal and spatial changes during the postnatal period, which accompany the transition from placental energy supply to enteral feeding and facilitate the establishment of the enteric microbiota and postanatal immune maturation, have not been systematically investigated. Here, we analyzed microdissected crypt and villus structures of 1-, 5-, 10-, and 25-day-old SPF mice by 3'mRNA-Seq and used differential gene expression and pathway analysis to identify age-specific expression patterns. We identify gene clusters temporally expressed in the neonatal intestine and correlate their expression with the functional changes during postnatal tissue maturation and the neonate to adult transition.

Here, we analyzed the proximal, medial and distal parts of the small intestinal epithelium of 1-, 5-, 10- and 25-day-old SPF mice by bulk RNA-Seq and used differential gene expression and pathway analysis to identify age-specific expression patterns. We identify gene clusters temporally expressed in the neonatal intestine and correlate their expression with the functional changes during postnatal tissue maturation and the neonate to adult transition.

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.
