Clonal memory of colitis accumulates and promotes tumor growth [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Chronic inflammation is a well-established risk factor for cancer, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Using a mouse model of colitis, we demonstrate that colonic stem cells retain an epigenetic memory of inflammation following disease resolution that persists for over 100 days. We find memory of colitis to be characterized by a cumulative gain of activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factor activity, with more durable changes to chromatin as well. Further, we develop SHARE-TRACE, a method that enables simultaneous profiling of gene expression, chromatin accessibility and clonal history in single cells, enabling high resolution tracking of epigenomic memory. This reveals that inflammatory memory is propagated cell-intrinsically and inherited through stem cell lineages, with certain clones demonstrating dramatically stronger memory than others. Finally, we show that colitis primes stem cells for amplified expression of regenerative gene programs following oncogenic mutation that accelerates tumor growth and this phenotype is dependent on AP-1 activity. Together, our findings provide a mechanistic link between chronic inflammation and malignancy, revealing how long-lived epigenetic alterations in regenerative tissues may contribute to disease susceptibility and suggesting potential therapeutic strategies to mitigate cancer risk in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions.

Transcriptome profiling of gene expression in the colon tissues of steady state and Helicobacter hepaticus-infected 129SvEvS6.Rag2−/− mice and the congenic strain 129.C3B.Rag2−/− R17

Project description:Chronic inflammation of the intestine has been associated with an elevated risk of developing colorectal cancer. Recent association studies have highlighted the role of genetic predisposition in the etiology of colitis and started to unravel its complexity. However, the genetic factors influencing the progression from colon inflammation to tumorigenesis are not known. We used Helicobacter hepaticus-induced colitis in a 129.RAG(-/-) mouse model to explore early onset of the disease. Experiments purpose and justifications: to elucidate early genes and pathways changed in the mouse strain susceptible to innate colitis triggered by Hh infection. Experimental factors: steady state, and days 2 and 4 of infection (n=4 mice per condition). The time course is validated on the same samples using qPCR for inflammatory genes. Samples: RNA from proximal mouse colon. Two mouse genetic strains are compared 129Rag-/- (susceptible) and 129.R17Rag-/- (protected from colitis).

Pancreas homeostasis maintenance in health and disfunction [snATAC-seq]

Project description:Local inflammation in the pancreas is transient but imprints a durable epigenetic memory on epithelial cells, making them more amenable to oncogenic transformation. However, it is unclear whether epithelial cell heterogeneity is impacted by acute pancreatitis (AP) or whether population dynamics during regeneration contributes to the establishment of inflammation memory. To tackle those questions, we deployed experimental pancreatitis in mice and performed paired sequencing of transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility profiles at single nucleus resolution. We documented cell type abundance but also applied integrative analyses to infer phenotypically-distinct clusters of mesenchymal and exocrine cells. We found that AP perturbs a subset of “idling” acinar cells, which separate from more canonical “secretory” acini based on a more diversified proteome, which include elevated expression of signal transduction receptors. We linked acinar cell heterogeneity to epigenetic differences that also endow idling cells with superior plasticity. These constitute about 40% of acinar cells but can proliferate and skew their phenotype in response to AP. This leads to a remarkable recovery of pancreas histology and function, but also to the dissemination of idling-like features across the exocrine parenchyma. Mechanistically, idling acinar cells are characterized by enhanced transcriptional activity and protein synthesis. After recovery from pancreatitis, acini show elevation of both and establishment of chronic Unfolded Protein Response (UPR). We finally demonstrated that AP-primed pancreata show signs of elevated UPR and that ER stress promotes acinar cell metaplasia. Our data interrogate phenotypical dynamics during tissue regeneration to identify cell states amenable to epigenetic imprinting. They also suggest that UPR-alleviating strategies might curtail the risk of developing pancreatic cancer for individuals who experiences AP.
