Single nuclei transcriptomics of colonic epithelium

ABSTRACT: FOXA1 and FOXA2 are essentail transcription factors for proper gut development. In adults, they play a role in the differentiation of intestinal secretory cells and were also reporeted to directly activate Muc2 transcription. Here we show that deletion of Foxa1 and Foxa2 in mouse intestinal epithelium leads to a downregulation of glycosylation genes in the colon and to a massive change of the colonic surface glycans, which in turn leads to dysbiosis and to inflammatory bowel disease. In order to associate this phenotype with a specific colonic lineage, we generated cell specific gene sets by performing single nuclei RNA-seq on colonic tissue from control mice. Gene set enrichment analysis demonstrated major changes in Goblet cell genes following Foxa1/2 deletion, including glycosylation genes. However, other lineages were also affected. We concluded that vertebrates shape a favorable microbiome by establishing a glycocalyx to nurture specific bacterial taxa through control of the epithelial glycosylation program by the FoxA transcription factors.

Transcriptome of Foxa1/Foxa2-deficient colon [RNA]

Project description:FOXA1 and FOXA2 are essentail transcription factors for proper gut development. In adults, they have a role in the differentiation of intestinal secretory cell lineages and were also reporeted to directly activate Muc2 transcription. Here we show that deletion of Foxa1 and Foxa2 in mouse intestinal epithelium leads to a downregulation of glycosylation genes in the colon and to a massive change of the colonic surface glycans. In turn, the microbiome composition shifts dramatically and spontaneous inflammatory bowel disease ensued. We conclude that vertebrates shape a favorable microbiome by establishing a glycocalyx to nurture specific bacterial taxa through control of the epithelial glycosylation program by the FoxA transcription factors.

FOXA1 and FOXA2 binding profile in mouse colon [ChIP]

Project description:FOXA1 and FOXA2 are essentail transcription factors for proper gut development. In adults, they play a role in the differentiation of intestinal secretory cells and were also reporeted to directly activate Muc2 transcription. Here we show that FOXA1 and FOXA2 bind near goblet cell genes, and are specifically enriched near glycosylation genes. Deletion of these transcription factors in mouse intestine leads to a downregulation of glycosylation genes in the colon and to a massive change of the colonic surface glycans. I turn, the microbiome composition shifts dramatically and spontaneous inflammatory bowel disease ensued. We conclude that vertebrates shape a favorable microbiome by establishing a glycocalyx to nurture specific bacterial taxa through control of the epithelial glycosylation program by the FoxA transcription factors.

FOXA2 regulates a network of genes involved in critical functions of intestinal epithelia

Project description:Background and Aims: The forkhead box A (FOXA) family of pioneer transcription factors is critical for the development of many endoderm-derived tissues including the lung and the liver. Here we investigate the role of FOXA2 in regulating intestinal epithelial cell function. Methods: ChIP-seq was used to identify FOXA2 binding sites genome-wide. Targets of FOXA2 were validated using ChIP-qPCR and siRNA-mediated depletion of FOXA1/2 followed by RT-qPCR. A luciferase-based assay was used to measure intracellular cAMP after FOXA1/2 modulation.Results: Peaks of FOXA2 occupancy were frequent at loci contributing to gene ontology pathways of regulation of cell migration, cell motion, and plasma membrane function. Depletion of both FOXA1 and FOXA2 led to a significant reduction in the expression of multiple transmembrane proteins including ion transporters. One of the targets was the adenosine A2B receptor, and reduced receptor mRNA levels were associated with a functional decrease in intracellular cAMP. We also observed that 30% of FOXA2 binding sites contained a GATA motif and that FOXA1/A2 depletion reduced GATA-4, but not GATA-6 protein levels. Conclusions: These data show that FOXA2 plays a critical role in regulating intestinal epithelial cell function. FOXA2 depletion affects the expression of ion transporters and other transmembrane proteins, which form a network essential for maintaining normal ion and solute transport. Moreover, we show that the FOXA and GATA families of transcription factors may work cooperatively to regulate gene expression genome-wide. To determine the role of FOXA2 in regulating gene expression in intestinal epithelial cells, ChIP-seq was performed for FOXA2 in Caco2 (colorectal adenocarcinoma) cells.

Gene expression analysis in human colon cancer cells and liver cancer cells with FoxA knockdown.

Project description:FoxA transcription factors are involved in development and tumorigenesis of the gastrointestinal tract. However, the downstream programs controlled by FoxA factors remain poorly understood. The goal of this study is to understand the transcriptional responses regulated by FoxA proteins in liver and colon cancer cells. Human liver cancer cell line HepG2 and colon cancer cell line LS174T infected with lentivirus expressing shRNAs targeting human FoxA1 and FoxA2.

Differential expression of microRNA in Muc2-/- mouse colonic epithelial cells

Project description:Intestinal epithelia are protected by a layer of mucin secreted by goblet cells against mechanical and chemical injuries, potent causes of inflammation, and the most abundant secreted intestinal mucin is encoded by the Muc2 gene. Genetic deletion of Muc2 causes intestinal inflammation in early stage and tumors after 3 months. The underlying mechanisms are not clear, but epigenetic alterations, particularly, up- and down-regulated microRNAs are involved in the malignant transformation from colitis to cancer. We used miRNA array to profile the differential expression of the miRNAs in Muc2-/- mouse colonic epithelial lin comparison with those in wild-type mice. Total RNA were extracted from mouse colonic epithelial cells and Muc2-/- and +/+, and the RNA were hybridized on Affymetrix miRNA microarray to determine the alterations of miRNAs during colitis development and its malignant transformation from colitis to cancer. To the end, we found miRNA were differential expressed in the Muc2-/- mice, among them 20 miRNAs were significantly downregulated and 71 miRNAs were significantly upregulated in Muc2-/- mice, in comparison with Muc2+/+ mice (change fold >2 or <0.5; T<0.01, p value< 0.05, q value< 0.05).
