Spatial mapping of telocytes along the crypt-villus axis reveals their role in intestinal homeostasis

ABSTRACT: We employed a single-cell RNA sequencing approach using the 10X Genomics platform to study the diversity of telocyte populations in the mouse jejunum. Telocytes are a unique mesenchymal cell type expressing the transcription factor Foxl1 and forming a subepithelial network along the entire crypt-villus axis. This study characterizes the gene expression profiles and spatial distribution of telocytes along the crypt-villus axis of the mouse jejunum.

The developmental emergence and stem cell-based renewal of the intestinal telocyte niche

Project description:The intestinal telocytes that reside beneath the intestinal epithelium exert niche-supporting roles for intestinal stem cells (ISCs) and their progenies. They are heterogenous cells compartmentalized along the crypt-villus axis, but the lineage relationships and mechanisms governing the maintenance of this telocyte population remain poorly understood. Through single cell analysis of mouse small intestine development, here we identify a distinct subset of Foxl1+ mesenchymal cells marked by LIM Domain Only 3 (Lmo3), whose emergence at embryonic day E13.5-14.5 precedes the initiation of villus morphogenesis and the appearance of Lgr5+ ISCs. Later on, these villus-associated telocytes undergo proliferation and expansion, extending their presence to both villus and intervillus regions. After birth, the distribution of the Lmo3+ telocytes gradually becomes confined to the isthmus region, where they persist as long-lived cells and slowly give rise to the progenies that migrate either up- or down-wards and differentiate into villus- or crypt-associated telocytes, respectively. The Lmo3+ cells are responsive to intestinal damage and ablation of these cells compromises the epithelial repair process. Thus, the Lmo3+ cells residing in the isthmus region of the adult small intestine represent a population of telocyte stem cells (TeloSCs) that regulate telocyte niche homeostasis and regeneration. The single cell delineation of the ISC niche emergence and the discovery of TeloSCs open up new avenues for understanding the roles of the mesenchymal environment in intestinal development and diseases.

scRNA-seq reveals transcriptional profiling of telocytes in synovial tissue

Project description:This study employs scRNA-seq to characterize Efhd1⁺ tdTomato⁺ telocyte-like cells isolated from knee synovial tissues. By comparing their transcriptional profiles to fibroblasts, we aim to delineate distinct cellular phenotypes and understand telocyte heterogeneity across tissue microenvironments. Our analysis reveals unique gene expression signatures defining telocytes providing insights into their potential roles in tissue homeostasis and fibrosis.

Comprehensive Profiling of early Neoplastic Gastric Microen-vironment Modifications and Biodynamics in Impaired BMP-Signaling Foxl1+-Telocytes

Project description:FoxL1+telocytes (TCFoxL1+) are novel gastrointestinal subepithelial cells that form communication axis between the mesenchyme and epithelium. TCFoxL1+ are strategically positioned to be key contributors to the microenvironment through production and secretion of growth factors and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. In recent years, the alteration of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in TCFoxL1+ was demonstrated to trigger a toxic microenvironment with ECM remodeling that leads to the development of pre-neoplastic gastric lesions. However, a comprehensive analysis of variations in the ECM composition and its associated proteins in gas-tric neoplasia linked to TCFoxL1+ dysregulation has never been performed. This study provides a better understanding of how TCFoxL1+ defective BMP signaling participates in gastric pre-neoplastic microenvironment. Using a proteomic approach, we determined the changes in the complete matrisome of BmpR1a△FoxL1+ and control mice, both in total antrum as well as in isolated mesenchyme-enriched antrum fractions. Comparative proteomic analysis revealed that the deconstruction of the gastric antrum led to a more comprehensive analysis of the ECM frac-tion of gastric tissues microenvironment. These results show that TCFoxL1+ are key members of the mesenchymal cell population and actively participate in the establishment of the matrisomic fraction of the microenvironment; thus, influencing epithelial cell behavior

Villification of the intestinal epithelium is driven by Foxl1

Project description:The primitive gut tube of mammals initially forms as a simple cylinder consisting of the endoderm-derived, pseudostratified epithelium and the mesoderm-derived surrounding mesenchyme. During mid-gestation a dramatic transformation occurs in which the epithelium is both restructured into its final cuboidal form and simultaneously folded and refolded to create intestinal villi and intervillus regions, the incipient crypts. Here we show that the mesenchymal winged helix transcription factor Foxl1, itself induced by epithelial hedgehog signaling, controls villification by activating BMP and PDGFRa as well as planar cell polarity genes in epithelial-adjacent telocyte progenitors, both directly and in a feed- forward loop with Foxo3. In the absence of Foxl1-dependent mesenchymal signaling, villus formation is delayed, the separation of epithelial cells into mitotic intervillus and postmitotic villus cells impaired, and the differentiation of secretory progenitors blocked. Thus, Foxl1 orchestrates key events during the epithelial transition of the fetal mammalian gut.

Single cell sequencing of BMP4 stimulated enteroendocrine cells in organoids

Project description:Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) alter hormone expression while migrating along the crypt-villus axis. We report this swich is regulated by a BMP morphogen gradient. Single cell RNA sequencing of control and BMP4 stimulated EECs was performed using organoids from different hormone reporter mice. We show that BMP4 stimulation can switch different subsets of EECs from their crypt to villus state.

Human ileum epithelium LCMD Project

Project description:The small intestinal epithelium mediates vital functions of nutrient absorption and host defense. The spatial organization of the epithelial cells along the crypt-villus axis segregates them into regions of specialized function. However, many of the mechanisms governing intestinal epithelial cell migration and the coordination of interactions with adjacent cells and the extracellular matrix are not fully understood. We have evaluated in vivo gene expression patterns of ileal epithelial cells in healthy human subjects, isolated by laser capture microdissection from either the villus epithelial or crypt cell regions of the small intestinal mucosa. Expression profiles in villus epithelium and Paneth cell lineages were determined by quantitative real-time PCR, DNA microarray, and immunohistochemistry based methods. Relative expression levels of selected epithelial biomarkers were compared between the ileum, jejunum, duodenum, colon, stomach, and esophagus. Previously established biomarkers as well as a novel and distinct set of genes believed to be linked to epithelial cell motility, adhesion, and differentiation were found to be enriched in each of the two corresponding cell populations. Additionally, high baseline expression levels of innate antimicrobials, alpha defensin 5 (HD5) and regenerating islet-derived 3 alpha (Reg3A), were detected exclusively within the small bowel, most notably in the ileum, in comparison to other sites along the gastrointestinal tract. Our findings provide new and important insights regarding the molecular machinery employed by small intestinal epithelial cells to mediate their function and spatial organization in vivo. Keywords: analysis of epithelial cells from crypt or upper villus regions
