Paneth cell-derived Notch ligands DLL1 and DLL4 are crucial for intestinal crypt base stem cells

ABSTRACT: Notch signaling is essential for maintaining intestinal stem cell activity and directing epithelial cell fate. Paneth cells have been proposed to be niche cells, providing Notch signal to neighboring stem cells through expression of the key Notch ligands DLL1 and DLL4. However, intestinal stem cells persist in the absence of Paneth cells. Here, we used genetic mouse models to clarify the role of Paneth cell-derived Notch ligands for stem cell function. Paneth cell-specific deletion of Dll1 and Dll4 resulted in loss of crypt base stem cells, with no effect on overall crypt cell proliferation. Organoid growth was reduced in knockout mice, suggesting reduced stem cell function. Upon irradiation injury, stem cell return and crypt regeneration were significantly impaired in the Notch ligand-deleted mice. These findings suggest that Paneth cell-derived Notch ligands DLL1 and DLL4 are crucial for crypt base stem cell maintenance and for crypt regeneration after injury.

Paneth cells constitute the niche for Lgr5 stem cells in intestinal crypts

Project description:Homeostasis of self-renewing small intestinal crypts results from neutral competition between Lgr5 stem cells, small cycling cells located at crypt bottoms1, 2. Lgr5 stem cells are interspersed between terminally differentiated Paneth cells, that are known to produce bactericidal products such as lysozyme and cryptdins/defensins3. Single Lgr5-expressing stem cells can be cultured to form long-lived, self-organizing crypt-villus organoids in the absence of non-epithelial niche cells4. Here, we note a close physical association of Lgr5 stem cells with Paneth cells in vivo and in vitro. CD24+ Paneth cells express EGF, TGF?, Wnt3 and the Notch-ligand Dll4, all essential signals for stem cell maintenance in culture. Co-culturing of sorted stem cells with Paneth cells dramatically improves organoid formation. This Paneth cell requirement can be substituted by a pulse of exogenous Wnt. Genetic removal of Paneth cells in vivo results in the concomitant loss of Lgr5 stem cells. In colon crypts, CD24+ cells residing between Lgr5 stem cells may represent the Paneth cell equivalents. We conclude that Lgr5 stem cells compete for essential niche signals provided by a specialized daughter cell, the Paneth cell. We used intestinal cell fractions from Lgr5-EGFP-ires-CreERT2 mice, expressing GFP under the control of the Lgr5 promoter. RNA was isolated from two FACS sorted cell populations: stem cells were sorted based on high level of GFP expression (GFPhi) and Paneth cells were sorted based on high level of CD24 expression (CD24hi) and high side-scatter (SSChi). Differentially labelled cRNA from GFPhi and CD24hi/SSChi cells from two different sorts (each combining ten individual mice) were hybridized on 4X44K Agilent Whole Mouse Genome dual colour Microarrays (G4122F) in two dye swap experiments, resulting in four individual arrays.

Transmission of survival signals through Delta-like 1 on activated CD4+ T cells

Project description:Notch expressed on CD4+ T cells transduces signals that mediate their effector functions and survival by interacting with Notch ligands on adjacent cells. Although Notch signaling is known to be cis-inhibited by Notch ligands expressed on the same cells, the role of Notch ligands on T cells remain unclear. In this report we demonstrate that the Notch ligand Dll1 on CD4+ T cells transduces signals required for the maintenance of activated CD4+ T cells without affecting Notch signaling in the same cells. T cell-specific Dll1-deficient (Dll1-/-) mice did not show any defect in T cell development in thymus or spleen. Co-transfer of CD4+ T cells from Dll1-/- and control mice into recipient mice followed by immunization revealed a rapid decline of CD4+ T cells from Dll1-/- mice compared with control cells. Dll1-/- mice exhibited lower clinical scores of experimental autoimmune encephalitis than control mice. The expression of Notch target genes in CD4+ T cells from Dll1-/- mice was not affected, suggesting that Dll1 deficiency in T cells does not affect cis Notch signaling. Overexpression of the intracellular domain of Dll1 in Dll1-deficient CD4+ T cells partially rescued impaired survival. Our data highlight Dll1 as an independent regulator of Notch-signaling for the survival of activated CD4+ T cells, and provide new insight into the physiological roles of Notch ligands as well as a regulatory mechanism important for maintaining adaptive immune responses The mRNA expression in activated CD4+ T cells from mouse was obtained by DNA microarray analysis. These mRNA expression was compared.

Proteomic profiling of mouse Paneth cells microdissected from small intestinal tissue

Project description:Paneth cells are antimicrobial peptide-secreting cells located at the base of the crypts of the small intestine. The proteome of Paneth cells is not well defined because of their co-existence with stem cells making it difficult to culture Panth cells alone in vitro. Using a simplied toluidine blue O method for staining mouse intestinal tissue, laser capture microdissection (LCM) to isolate cells from the crypt region and surfactant assisted one pot protein digestion, we identified more than 1,300 proteins from crypts equivalent to 18,000 cells. Compared with the proteomes of villi and smooth muscle regions, the crypt proteome is highly enriched in defensins, lysozymes and other antimicrobial peptides that are characteristic of Paneth cells. The sensitivity of the LCM-based proteomics approach was also assessed using a smaller number of cell equivalent tissues, a comparable proteomic coverage can be achieved with 3,600 cells. This work is the first proteomics study of intestinal tissue enriched with Paneth cells. The simplied workflow enables profiling of Paneth cell associated pathological changes at the proteome level directly from frozen intestinal tissue. It may also be useful for proteomics studies of other spatially resolved cell types from other tissues.

Reg4+ Deep Crypt Secretory cells function as epithelial niche for Lgr5+ stem cells in colon

Project description:Lgr5+ stem cells reside at crypt bottoms of the small and large intestine. Small intestinal Paneth cells supply Wnt3, EGF and Notch signals to neighboring Lgr5+ stem cells. While the colon lacks Paneth cells, Deep Crypt Secretory (DCS) cells are intermingled with Lgr5+ stem cells at crypt bottoms. Here, we report Reg4 as a marker of DCS cells. To investigate a niche function, we eliminated DCS cells using the diphtheria-toxin receptor gene knocked into the murine Reg4 locus. Ablation of DCS cells results in loss of stem cells from colonic crypts and disrupts gut homeostasis and colon mini-gut formation. In agreement, sorted Reg4+ DCS cells promote organoid formation of single Lgr5+ colon stem cells. Stem cells are forced to generate DCS cells in vitro by combined Notch inhibition and Wnt activation. We conclude that Reg4+ DCS cells serve as Paneth cell equivalents in the colon crypt niche.

Engineered glycocalix regulates stem cell proliferation in murine crypt organoids

Project description:At the base of the intestinal crypt, long-lived Lgr5+ stem cells are intercalated by Paneth cells that provide essential niche signals for stem-cell maintenance. This unique epithelial anatomy makes the intestinal crypt one of the most accessible models for the study of adult stem cell biology. The glycosylation patterns of this compartment are poorly characterized and the impact of glycans on stem cell differentiation remains largely unexplored. We found that Paneth cells, but not Lgr5+ stem cells, express abundant terminal N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc). Employing an enzymatic method to edit glycans in cultured crypt organoids, we assessed the functional role of LacNAc in the intestinal crypt. We show that blocking access to LacNAc on Paneth cells leads to hyperproliferation of the neighbouring Lgr5+ stem cells, which is accompanied by the down-regulation of genes that are known as negative regulators of proliferation

Vascular niche induction of hematopoietic progenitors from pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells (PSC) represent an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Clinical translation is impeded by limited engraftment of human (h)PSC-multipotent progenitor cells (MPP). This barrier suggests that additional cues are required for definitive hematopoiesis. We hypothesized that vascular niche producing Notch ligands Jagged-1 (JAG1) and Delta-like ligand-4 (DLL4) would drive definitive hematopoiesis. To test our hypothesis, hes2 human embryonic stem cells (hESC) 2 and Macaca nemestrina (Mn) iPSC line-7 were differentiated with cytokines Â± endothelial cells (EC), which express JAG1 and DLL4. EC co-culture supported emergence of 8-fold more CD34+CD45+ cells compared to co-culture with cytokines Â± ECs with JAG1 or DLL4 knockdown. EC-induced cells exhibit Notch activation and express HSC-specific targets of Notch signaling RUNX1 and GATA2. EC-induced PSC-MPP engraft at a higher level in NSG mice compared to cytokine-induced cells (10% >5 months), and selection increased engraftment (30%). Long-term engraftment and the myeloid-to-lymphoid ratio achieved with vascular niche induction is similar to levels achieved for cord blood MPP and up to 20-fold higher than hPSC-MPP engraftment. Our findings identify a previously underappreciated role for endothelial Notch ligands in PSC definitive hematopoiesis and production of long-term engrafting CD34+ cells and suggest they are critical for HSC emergence.
