Gpr37 contributes to inflammation-induced GI dysmotility by regulating enteric reactive gliosis.

ABSTRACT: The enteric nervous system (ENS) is contained within two layers of the gut wall and is made up of neurons, immune cells, and enteric glia cells (EGCs) that regulate gastrointestinal (GI) function. EGCs in both inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) change in response to inflammation, referred to as reactive gliosis. Whether EGCs restricted to a specific layer or region within the GI tract alone can influence intestinal immune response is unknown. Using bulk RNA-sequencing and in situ hybridization, we identify G-protein coupled receptor, Gpr37, as a gene expressed only in EGCs of the myenteric plexus, one of the two layers of the ENS. We show that Gpr37 contributes to key components of LPS-induced reactive gliosis including activation of NF-kB and IFN-y signaling and response genes, lymphocyte recruitment, and inflammation-induced GI dysmotility. Targeting Gpr37 in EGCs presents a potential avenue for modifying inflammatory processes in the ENS.

Enteric nervous system injury and intestinal dysmotility after West Nile virus infection is mediated by perforin and Fas-ligand dependent T cell effector functions

Project description:Intestinal dysmotility syndromes have been linked to antecedent bacterial and viral infections. For example, infection of mice with the neurotropic flavivirus, West Nile Virus (WNV), leads to intestinal transit defects. Here, we find that within one week of WNV infection, enteric neurons and glia become damaged, resulting in a permanent reduction in their network density. Using cell-depleting antibodies, adoptive transfer experiments, and mice lacking specific immune cells or immune functions, we show that infiltrating WNV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells damage the enteric nervous system (ENS) and glia, which leads to intestinal dysmotility; these T cells use multiple and redundant effector functions including perforin and Fas ligand. In comparison, WNV-triggered ENS injury and intestinal dysmotility occurs independently of infiltrating monocytes, whereas resident muscularis macrophages prevent excessive damage to the ENS and glia. Overall, our experiments establish that antigen specific T cell subsets and their effector molecules responding to WNV infection cause an immune pathology directed against neurons and supporting glia that results in intestinal dysmotility.

Il-1-dependent enteric gliosis guides intestinal inflammation and dysmotility and modulates macrophage function

Project description:IL-1 signaling in enteric glia initiates acute intestinal inflamation and modulates postoperative motility disturbances by triggering a reactive glial phenotype named enteric gliosis. Enteric glia modulate macrophage function and activity in this reactive state by releasing a unique panel of chemokines and cytokines. An enteric glia-selective knockout of this pathway ameliorates acute postoperative inflammation and prevents postoperative ileus.

The enteric nervous system relays psychological stress to intestinal inflammation [SnRNASeq_ENS]

Project description:Mental health profoundly impacts inflammatory responses in the body. This is particularly apparent in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), where psychological stress is associated with disease flares. Here, we discover a critical role for the enteric nervous system (ENS) in mediating the aggravating effect of chronic stress on intestinal inflammation. We find that chronically elevated levels of glucocorticoids drive the generation of an inflammatory subset of enteric glia that promotes monocyte- and TNF-mediated colitis via CSF1. Additionally, glucocorticoids cause transcriptional immaturity in enteric neurons, acetylcholine deficiency, and dysmotility via TGFβ2. We verify the connection between the psychological state, intestinal inflammation, and dysmotility in two cohorts of human IBD patients. Together, these findings offer a mechanistic explanation for the impact of the brain on peripheral inflammation, define the ENS as a relay between psychological stress and gut inflammation, and suggest that stress management could serve as a valuable component of IBD care.

Loss of enteric neuronal Ndrg4 promotes colorectal cancer via increased release of Nid1 and Fbln2

Project description:The N-Myc Downstream-Regulated Gene 4 (NDRG4), a prominent biomarker for colorectal cancer (CRC), is specifically expressed by enteric neurons. Considering that nerves are important members of the tumor microenvironment, we here establish different Ndrg4 knockout (Ndrg4-/-) CRC models and an in-direct co-culture of primary enteric nervous system (ENS) cells and intestinal organoids to identify whether the ENS, via NDRG4, affects intestinal tumorigenesis. Linking immunostainings and gastrointestinal motility (GI) assays, we show that absence of Ndrg4 does not trigger any functional or morphological GI-abnormalities. However, combining in vivo, in vitro and quantitative proteomics data, we uncover that Ndrg4 knockdown is associated with enlarged intestinal adenoma development and that organoid growth is boosted by the Ndrg4-/- ENS cell secretome, which is enriched for Nidogen-1 (Nid1) and Fibulin-2 (Fbln2). Moreover, NID1 and FBLN2 are expressed in enteric neurons, enhance tumorigenic capacities of CRC cells and are enriched in human CRC secretomes. Hence, we provide evidence that the ENS, via loss of Ndrg4, is involved in colorectal pathogenesis and that ENS-derived Nidogen-1 and Fibulin-2 enhance colorectal carcinogenesis.

Glial Guidance Drives Postnatal Intestinal Reinnervation by Enteric Neurons

Project description:This study investigates the phenomenon of postnatal plasticity within the enteric nervous system (ENS), specifically investigating the reinnervation potential of post-mitotic enteric neurons. Employing BAF53b-Cre for selective tracing, the reinnervation capabilities of postnatal enteric neurons in multiple model systems are shown. Denervated enteric neurons exhibit the ability to regenerate neurites in vitro, with neurite complexity and direction notably influenced by contact with enteric glial cells (EGCs). In vivo nerve fibers from transplanted enteric neurons exclusively interface with EGCs. Resident EGCs are sustained after Cre dependent ablation of enteric neurons and govern the architecture of the ENS by reinnervating enteric neurons. Transplantation experiments underscore the swift reintegration and reinnervation potential of post-mitotic neurons, leading to restored muscle function within two weeks. Optogenetic investigations further delineate time-dependent functional recovery via transplantation of isolated enteric ganglia. These revelations demonstrate the structural and functional reinnervation capacity of post-mitotic enteric neurons, underscored by EGC guidance.

Maturing an Enteric Nervous System in Human Intestinal Organoid-derived Tissue-Engineered Small Intestine

Project description:Acquired or congenital disruption in enteric nervous system (ENS) development or function can lead to significant mechanical dysmotility. ENS restoration through cellular transplantation may provide a cure for enteric neuropathies. We have previously generated human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived tissue-engineered small intestine (TESI) from human intestinal organoids (HIO). However, HIO-TESI fails to develop an ENS. In a previous report of combined HIO with additional human enteric neural crest cells (ENCC), an ENS was established but lacked maturity. The purpose of our study is to establish a mature ENS derived exclusively from hPSC in HIO-TESI. hPSC-derived ENCC supplementation of HIO-TESI generates ENCC-HIO-TESI with mature submucosal and myenteric ganglia, repopulates excitatory, inhibitory, and sensory neurons, and restores the neuroepithelial circuit and neuron-dependent contractility and relaxation. Our findings validate a novel approach to restoring a functional hPSC-derived ENS in ENCC-HIO-TESI and implicate their potential for the treatment of enteric neuropathies.
