Organoid Modeling of Mouse Anterior Tongue Epithelium Reveals Regional and Cellular Identities

ABSTRACT: The tongue is essential for swallowing, taste perception, and mechanosensation. The anterior and posterior parts of the tongue have region-specific developmental origins and are maintained by adult epithelial stem/progenitor cells. In vitro models that can be used to investigate anterior tongue biology have been lacking. Here, we develop a protocol to generate a long-term expanding organoid model from adult mouse dorsal anterior tongue. Anterior tongue organoids consist of Lgr6+ cells, Sox2+ stem/progenitor cells, and Hoxc13+ filiform papillae progenitor cells. Furthermore, anterior tongue organoids share region-specific transcriptomic profiles, gene regulatory networks, and signaling pathways with anterior tongue tissue. Anterior tongue organoids can be differentiated into various epithelial cell types including Merkel-like cells, keratinocytes, and taste bud cells. Gene regulatory network analysis reveals transcriptional programs associated with Krt8+ cell and Krt23+/Sbsn+ keratinocyte differentiation in the organoids. Together, this study provides an in vitro model of mouse dorsal tongue epithelium.

Proteomic analysis of the mouse tongue proteome in response to western diet

Project description:The tongue is a heavily innervated and vascularized striated muscle that plays an important role in vocalization and swallowing. The surface of the tongue is lined with papillae which contain gustatory cells expressing various taste receptors. There is growing evidence to suggest our perceptions of taste and food preference are remodelled following chronic consumption of western diets rich in carbohydrate and fats. Our sensitivity to taste and also metabolism western diets may be a key factor in the rising prevalence of obesity but a systems-wide analysis is lacking. Here, we defined the proteomic landscape of the mouse tongue and quantified changes following chronic consumption of a chow or western diet for 7 months. We observed a dramatic remodelling of the tongue proteome including changes in fatty acid and mitochondrial metabolism. The expression of several receptors, and metabolic enzymes and hormones were also differentially regulated which is exciting as these may serve as novel therapeutic targets to potentially alter taste perception and food preference to combat obesity.

Fine tuning of epithelial taste bud organoid to promote functional recapitulation of taste reactivity

Project description:Taste stem/progenitor cells from the mouse posterior tongue have been recently used to generate taste bud organoids. However, the inaccessible location of the taste receptor cells is observed in conventional organoids. Here, we established a suspension culture method for fine tuning of taste bud organoid by apicobasal polarity alteration to form the accessible localization of taste receptor cells in organoid. Compared to conventional Matrigel-embedded organoids, suspension-cultured organoids showed comparable differentiation and renewal rates to those of taste buds in vivo and exhibited functional taste receptor cells and cycling progenitor cells. Accessible taste receptor cells on the outer region of taste bud organoids enabled the direct application of calcium imaging for evaluating the taste response. Moreover, suspension-cultured organoids could be genetically altered using gene editing methods. Suspension-cultured taste bud organoid harmoniously integrated with the recipient lingual epithelium; maintained the taste receptor cells and gustatory innervation capacity. Thus, we propose that suspension-cultured organoids may provide efficient model for taste research including taste bud development, regeneration and transplantation

High Sox2 expression predicts taste lineage competency of lingual progenitors in vitro

Project description:Taste buds on the tongue are collections of taste receptor cells (TRCs) that detect sweet, sour, salty, umami and bitter stimuli. Like non-taste lingual epithelium, TRCs are renewed from basal keratinocytes, many of which express the transcription factor SOX2. Genetic lineage tracing has shown SOX2+ lingual progenitors give rise to both taste and non-taste lingual epithelium in the posterior circumvallate taste papilla (CVP) of mice. However, SOX2 is variably expressed among CVP cells suggesting that their progenitor potential may vary. Using transcriptome analysis and organoid technology, we show highly expressing SOX2+ cells are taste-competent progenitors that give rise to organoids comprising both TRCs and lingual epithelium, while organoids derived from low-expressing SOX2+ progenitors are composed entirely of non-taste cells. Hedgehog and WNT/ß-catenin are required for taste homeostasis in adult mice, but only WNT/ß-catenin promotes TRC differentiation in vitro and does so only in organoids derived from higher SOX2+ taste lineage-competent progenitors.

Tripotent Lgr5 stem cells in the posterior tongue generate non-taste lingual, taste and salivary gland cells [scRNA-seq]

Project description:The circumvallate papillae (CVP) and foliate papillae (FoP) of the posterior tongue contain taste buds in close proximity to specialized salivary glands, known as von Ebner and minor salivary glands, respectively. The developmental relationship between taste buds and these salivary glands remains largely unexplored. Lineage tracing studies in mice have revealed that Lgr5 marks taste bud stem cells. Here, we report single-cell RNA sequencing of the entire CVP and FoP of mice, yielding transcriptional profiles of cells from tongue surface epithelium, taste buds and the associated salivary glands. We unveiled a developmental trajectory in which taste buds, the associated salivary glands and the non-taste tongue surface epithelium originate from a common Lgr5+ cell. We describe long-term organoid culture conditions for these cells and confirm their tripotency at the clonal level in vitro. CVP and FoP harbor chemosensory units consisting of taste bud and salivary gland cells derived from the same parental Lgr5+ stem cell.

Expression data from macaque taste buds and lingual epithelium

Project description:Efforts to unravel the mechanisms underlying taste sensation (gustation) have largely focused on rodents. The first comprehensive database of gene expression in primate (Macaca fascicularis) taste buds is presented. This database provides a foundation for further studies in diverse aspects of taste biology. A taste bud gene expression database was generated using laser capture microdissection (LCM) of tissue freeze medium OTC embedded macaque tongue tissue blocks. We collected fungiform (FG) taste buds at the front of the tongue, circumvallate (CV) taste buds at the back of the tongue, as well as non-gustatory lingual epithelium (LE). Gene expression was also analyzed in the top and bottom portions of CV taste buds collected using LCM. Samples were collected from 10 animals - 7 female, 3 male.

Lgr6 Marks Stem Cells in the Hair Follicle that Generate all Cell Lineages of the Skin

Project description:Mammalian epidermis consists of three self-renewing compartments: the hair follicle, sebaceous gland and interfollicular epidermis. We generated knock-in alleles of murine Lgr6, a close relative to the Lgr5 stem cell gene. Lgr6 was expressed in the earliest embryonic hair placodes. In adult hair follicles, Lgr6+ cells resided in a previously uncharacterized region directly above the follicle bulge. They expressed none of the known bulge stem cell markers. Prenatal Lgr6+ cells established the hair follicle, sebaceous gland and interfollicular epidermis. Postnatally, Lgr6+ cells generated sebaceous gland and interfollicular epidermis, while contribution to hair lineages gradually diminished with age. Adult Lgr6+ cells executed long-term wound repair, including the formation of new hair follicles. We conclude that Lgr6 marks the most primitive epidermal stem cell. For the Lgr5 and Lgr6 stem cell comparison RNA was isolated from sorted GFPhi cell fractions of dorsal skin from Lgr5-EGFP-ires-CreERT2 mice and Lgr6-EGFP-ires-CreERT2, respectively (3 mice per group per sort).

Histopathology of the tongue in a mouse model of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy reveals progressive PABPN1 deposition associated with muscle wasting.

Project description:The tongue facilitates vital activities such as swallowing. Swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) are common in the elderly and in many adult-onset neuromuscular diseases. In oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD), dysphagia is often the first symptom. OPMD is an autosomal dominant myopathy caused by a trinucleotide expansion mutation in the gene encoding PABPN1. The expanded PABPN1 forms insoluble nuclear aggregates that reduce the levels of the soluble form. Clinical tongue involvement in OPMD has been documented but is poorly understood. Tongue histopathology was investigated in OPMD mouse models using light and electron microscopy. Muscle histopathology was predominantly affected by age. PABPN1 nuclear aggregates were found at moderate levels, whereas deposition of insoluble PABPN1 in blood vessels was already prominent in 4-month-old mice. RNA signatures of the OPMD tongue were enriched for mitochondrial and cytoskeletal genes, suggesting an energy and contractile deficit.
