Project description:APCmin/+ mice develop spontaneous gastrointestinal polyposis due to a dominantly inhereited germline loss-of-function mutation in the tumor suppressor adenomatous polyposis coli (APC). Changes in intestinal immune activity have been documented to occur prior to the development of fulminate polyposis. Such changes are thought to contribute to disease development. We used microarrays to describe the changing intestinal transcriptional landscape in APCmin/+ mice. Whole transcriptome profiling from polypotic and nonpolypotic intestinal sections of APC/min+ mice were examined in the early stages of disease, and compared to normal intestinal sections from littermate matched wildtype B6 mice. Nonpolypotic (wildtype and APCmin/+) and Polypotic (APCmin/+) sections of terminal ileum were identified by visual inspection, and subsequently selected for RNA isolation and hydridzation to Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 Arrays. Interference from bacterial RNA was selected against using a probeset enriched in oligos extending into 3’-poly-A tails.

Project description:Mutation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC gene), an early event in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence, is present in 70-80% of sporadic human colorectal adenomas and carcinomas. To test the hypothesis that mutation of the APC gene alters microbial interactions with host intestinal mucosa prior to the development of polyposis, culture-independent methods (targeted qPCR assays and Illumina sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene V1V2 hypervariable region) were used to compare the intestinal microbial composition of 30 six-week old C57BL/6 APCMin/+ and 30 congenic wild type (WT) mice. The results demonstrate that similar to 12-14 week old APCMin/+ mice with intestinal neoplasia, 6 week old APCMin/+ mice with no detectable neoplasia, exhibit an increased relative abundance of Bacteroidetes spp in the colon. Parallel mouse RNA sequence analysis, conducted on a subset of proximal colonic RNA samples (6 APCMin/+, 6 WT) revealed 130 differentially expressed genes (DEGs, fold change ? 2, FDR <0.05). Hierarchical clustering of the DEGs was carried out by using 1-r dissimilarity measurement, where r stands for the Pearson correlation, and Ward minimum variance linkage, in order to reduce the number of input variables. When the cluster centroids (medians) were included along with APC genotype as input variables, analysis of variance and covariance (ANCOVA) with stepwise variable selection, selected two of seven mouse gene clusters, in addition to APC genotype, as significantly associated (p = 0.011 and p = 0.004) with the increased relative abundance of Bacteroidetes spp. One of the two clusters includes several downregulated genes encoding immunoglobulin variable regions and non-protein coding RNAs. These results support the concept that mutation of the APC gene alters colonic-microbial interactions prior to polyposis. It remains to be determined whether interventions directed at ameliorating dysbiosis in APCMin/+mice, such as through probiotics, prebiotics or antibiotics, could reduce tumor formation.

Project description:Mast cells have been suggested to either promote or suppress tumor progression but the mechanisms underlying these outcomes are unclear. Here, we show that mice with a heterozygous mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli gene (ApcMin/+) displayed reduced intestinal tumor burden and increased survival in the background of the chemokine decoy receptor ACKR2 deficiency (ACKR2-/-). The ACKR2-/-ApcMin/+ tumors showed increased infiltration of mast cells. In mast cell-deficient Sash (c-kitW-sh/W-sh) ACKR2-/-ApcMin/+ mice the survival advantage was lost as the tumors grew rapidly and adoptive transfer of mast cells reduced the tumor burden in these mice. The tumor burden is also increased in Rag2-/-ACKR2-/-ApcMin/+ mice and the protection is reconstituted by adoptively transferred CD8+ T-lymphocytes. Mast cells from ACKR2-/- mice expressed elevated levels of chemokine receptors CCR2 and CCR5 and are also efficient in antigen presentation and activation of CD8+ T-cells. Mast cell-derived leukotriene B4 is a critical mediator of CD8+ T-lymphocyte recruitment as the BLT1-/-ACKR2-/-ApcMin/+ mice are highly susceptible to intestinal tumor induced mortality. Taken together, these data demonstrate that chemokine mediated mast cell recruitment is essential for initiating LTB4/BLT1 regulated CD8+ T-cell homing and generation of effective anti-tumor immunity against intestinal tumor development.

Project description:Apc, a negative regulator of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway, is a bona-fide tumor suppressor whose loss of function results in intestinal polyposis. APC is located in a commonly deleted region on human chromosome 5q, associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) suggesting that haploinsufficiency of APC contributes to the MDS phenotype. Analysis of the hematopoietic system of mice with the Apcmin allele that results in a premature stop codon and loss of function, showed no abnormality in steady state hematopoiesis. Bone marrow derived from Apcmin mice showed enhanced repopulation potential, indicating of a cell intrinsic gain of function in the long-term hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) population. However, Apcmin bone marrow was unable to repopulate secondary recipients due to loss of the quiescent HSC population. Apcmin mice developed a myelodysplastic/ myeloproliferative phenotype. Our data indicate that Wnt activation through haploinsufficiency of Apc causes insidious loss of HSC function that is only evident in serial transplantation strategies. These data provide a cautionary note for HSC expansion strategies through Wnt pathway activation, provide evidence that cell extrinsic factors can contribute to the development of myeloid disease and indicate that loss of function of APC may contribute to the phenotype observed in patients with MDS and del(5q).

LKS+ cells were isolated from Apcmin or WT mice using high-speed multiparameter flow cytometry. At least 2x104 cells per mouse were isolated with confirmed purity in excess of 90%. The cells were treated with RLT lysis buffer (Qiagen) containing beta-mercaptoethanol to stabilize RNA. RNA was extracted using Qiagen RNeasy Micro Kit according to manufacturers instruction. The RNA was amplified using a linear amplification protocol (Nugen Ovation V2 amplification system). cDNA was fragmented and biotinylated before hybridization onto Affymetrix mouse genome 430 2.0 Array chips

Project description:We constructed AAV-vectors for systemic expression of a soluble RSPO1 protein in ApcMin/+ mice. We found that the RSPO1-Fc fusion protein suppresses the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling activity in intestinal adenomas and in adenoma-derived intestinal organoids ex vivo, but not in normal intestinal epithelial cells. In the Apc mutant cells, the RSPO1-Fc fusion protein activated the TGFß/SMAD signaling pathway to suppress several Wnt target genes and adenoma growth, which effect was rescued suppressed by the TGFß receptor kinase inhibitor SB-431542. Simultaneously, RSPO1-Fc induced proliferation of the normal intestinal stem cells, giving them a growth advantage over the mutant cells, which enabled the intestinal epithelium to eventually outgrow the adenoma cells. Prolonged systemic expression of AAV-RSPO1-Fc decreased significantly the number of the intestinal adenomas and improved the overall survival of ApcMin/+ mice. Thus RSPO1-Fc provides the normal intestinal epithelial cells a growth advantage when compared to the adenoma cells, which eventually leads to the extrusion of the adenomatous tissue. An attractive idea now is to exploit such differential response of normal vs. cancer cells in cancer therapy.

Project description:The first step in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) is the aberrant hyperactivation of the Wnt signaling pathway, predominantly caused by inactivating mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene encoding an essential tumor suppressor. In order to identify genes affected by Apc loss, expression profiling of intestinal epithelium isolated from mice harboring the conditional allele of the gene was performed.

Project description:The first step in the development of human colorectal cancer is the aberrant hyperactivation of the Wnt signaling pathway, predominantly caused by inactivating mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc) gene encoding an essential tumor suppressor. The gene encoding transcriptional factor msh homeobox 1 (Msx1) displayed robust upregulation upon Apc inactivation in intestinal epithelium isolated in mice harboring the conditional allele of the Apc gene. To identify the gene signature in the small intestine upon Msx1 depletion, small intestinal epithelium from mice harboring conditional alleles of Apc and Msx1 was isolated and the gene expression profile was compared with control mice harboring the conditional allele of Apc only.
