Lgr5-Expressing Chief Cells Drive Epithelial Regeneration and Cancer in the Oxyntic Stomach

ABSTRACT: Adult stem cells residing within tubular glands of the corpus epithelium are believed to fuel daily tissue renewal, but their identity remains controversial. Lgr5, marks both homeostatic stem cells and “reserve” stem cells in multiple tissues. Here, we report Lgr5 expression in a subpopulation of chief cells in mouse and human corpus glands. Using a new, non-variegated Lgr5-2A-CreERT2 mouse model, we show by cell fate mapping that Lgr5-expressing chief cells do not behave as corpus stem cells under homeostatic conditions, but are recruited to function as stem cells to effect epithelial renewal following injury. In vivo ablation of the Lgr5+ cells severely impairs epithelial homeostasis in the corpus, indicating an essential role in maintaining the resident stem cell pool. We additionally define the Lgr5+ chief cells as a major cell of origin of gastric metaplasia. These findings reveal clinically relevant insights into tissue homeostasis, repair and cancer in the corpus.

Single cell RNA-seq of Stmn1+ isthmal cells and Pgc+ chief cells to compare and characterize distinct gastric corpus stem cells at molecular level

Project description:The purpose of this single cell experiment is to compare and characterize at molecular level actively cycling stem cells in the isthmus and quiescent stem cells in the base of the mouse stomach corpus. The lineage tracing data from Stmn1-CreERT2 shows that Stmn1+ cells in the corpus isthmus include fast dividing isthmus stem cells with long-term potency. On the other hand, chief cells including Lgr5+ subpopulation can play as quiescent stem cells in the base that are largely quiescent in homeostasis, but are activated upon injury. The isthmus stem cells and chief cells are isolated by Stmn1 and Pgc, respectively, and were subject to single cell RNA-seq experiment.

Active Lgr5 Positive Stem Cells Drive Self-Renewal in the Pyloric Stomach and Efficiently Build Pyloric Units In-vitro

Project description:The Wnt target gene Lgr5 marks cycling stem cells in the small intestine, colon and hair-follicle. In the adult stomach, Lgr5 expression is confined to 3-4 proliferating cells at the gland base throughout the pylorus and limited numbers of corpus-type glands adjacent to the esophagus and squamous forestomach. In-vivo lineage tracing reveals that the pyloric Lgr5+ve cells rapidly generate all the major cell-types present in the gastric epithelium and maintain this multipotent stem cell activity over at least 20 months. In-vitro, single adult Lgr5+ve cells efficiently generate gastric units closely resembling mature pyloric glands. We conclude that Lgr5 is marking an active stem cell population at the base of the pyloric glands contributing to the long-term renewal of the adult gastric epithelium. The transcriptome of the adult Lgr5+ve stem cells harbors multiple Wnt target genes, implying a role for Wnt signaling in regulating pyloric stem cell function in-vivo. Conditional deletion of APC in these Lgr5+ve stem cells rapidly initiates tumor formation, supporting a potential role for aberrant Wnt signaling activity in gastric cancer.

Gastric Lgr5+ stem cells secrete antimicrobial proteins to shield against infection

Project description:R-spondin (Rspo) signaling is crucial for stem cell renewal and tissue homeostasis in the gastrointestinal tract. In the stomach, Rspo is secreted from myofibroblasts and controls epithelial gland regeneration by inducing proliferation of Wnt-responsive Axin2+ cells. Infection with H. pylori results in increased expression of stromal Rspo, leading to an expansion of Axin2+ isthmus stem cells and gland hyperplasia. Lgr5+ stem cells are exposed to Rspo3 but the effects of this are not well understood. Here we demonstrate that in addition to its effect as a mitogen, endogenous Rspo3 regulates the gene expression of Lgr5+ cells in the gland base in both antrum and corpus. Rspo3 inhibits proliferation and induces differentiation within the Lgr5+ compartment towards a secretory phenotype. Strikingly, the Rspo3-Lgr5 axis turns out to be required for epithelial antimicrobial defense. Infection with H. pylori induces a strong antimicrobial response, with Lgr5+ cells expressing antimicrobial compounds that are secreted into the lumen in an Rspo3-dependent manner. Depletion of Lgr5+ cells or knockout of Rspo3 in myofibroblasts leads to dramatic hyper-colonization of gastric glands, including the stem cell compartment, whereas systemic application of recombinant Rspo is sufficient to clear H. pylori from the glands. We provide an intriguing, unexpected feature of Lgr5+ cells, exhibiting an indivisible connection between stem cell signaling and antimicrobial self-protection.

Expression profiling of Troy positive gastric cells

Project description:Proliferation of the self-renewing epithelium of the gastric corpus occurs almost exclusively in the isthmus of the glands, from where cells migrate bi-directionally towards pit and base. The isthmus is therefore generally viewed as the stem cell zone. We find that the stem cell marker Troy is expressed at the gland base by a small subpopulation of chief cells. By lineage tracing using a Troy-eGFP-ires-CreERT2 allele, single marked cells are shown to generate entirely labeled gastric units over periods of months. This phenomenon accelerates upon tissue damage. Troy+ chief cells can be cultured to generate long-lived gastric organoids. Troy marks a specific, 'plastic' subset of differentiated chief cells capable of replenishing entire gastric units, essentially serving as a quiescent ‘reserve’ stem cell. An EGFP-ires-CreERT2 cassette was introduced into the transcriptional start side of Tnfrsf19 (Troy), resulting in the expression of EGFP and CreERT2 under the control of endogenous Troy-regulatory sequences. Troy is expressed in basally located chief and parietal cells. Using FACS, Troy positive chief and parietal cells can be isolated separately. Expression profiling was performed on these two cell types: three arrays of sorted chief cells, two arrays of sorted parietal cells. As a reference, two arrays of separately isolated whole gastric corpus glands were added. In addition, single sorted Troy positive chief cells can be placed in culture, forming 3D cultures called organoids. Three arrays were generated from different organoid cultures, one time in normal medium containing the factors EGF, Gastrin, FGF10, Noggin, Wnt3a and Rspondin (EGFNWR medium) and one time in medium containing only EGF and Rspondin (ER medium).

Gene expression in gastric Mist1+ cells.

Project description:Mist1+ cells and parietal cells in mouse stomach were separatedly sorted, and RNAs were isolated. Mist1 (also known as Bhlha15) is expressed in gastric chief cells and gastric stem cells in mice. However, more specific genes for each population needs to be identified to better understand the precise biology in these cell populations. In order to address cell specific gene signature, we separately sorted Mist1+ gastric chief cells and Mist1+ gastric stem cells by FACS, and performed microarray analysis. Mist1+ gastric chief cells were sorted by using Mist1-CreERT; R26-TdTomato mouse stomach, immediately after tamoxifen administration. Mist1+ gastric stem cells were sorted by chief cell-ablated Mist1-CreERT; R26-TdTomato mouse stomach, combining with Lgr5-DTR mice. Lgr5-expressing chief cells were ablated by giving DT into these mice. As a control, acid-secreting gastric parietal cell samples were used. Mice were treated with or without Lgr5-DT ablation before sorting.

Wnt/planar cell polarity primed intestinal stem cells directly differentiate into enteroendocrine or Paneth cells [MoGene-2_0-st]

Project description:Imbalance in intestinal stem cell (ISC) homeostasis leads to cancer and metabolic disease. Therefore intense efforts are underway to understand ISC hierarchy and the niche signals that control stem cell fate. Several ISC populations have been described according to their marker expression, cell-cycle behavior and lineage potential. Actively cycling Lgr5+ ISCs ensure homeostatic renewal. A less well-defined and minor population of quiescent and label-retaining cells (LRCs) is viewed as a reserve stem cell pool. However, the existence of quiescent stem cells distinct from the Lgr5+ ISCs is controversial. Indeed, recent findings identified quiescent intestinal cells as a subpopulation of Lgr5+ ISCs that are committed to the secretory fate, but the signals that maintain and activate quiescent cells/LRCs remain elusive.

Gastric Lgr5+ cells are programmed by Rspo3 to shield the gland from infection

Project description:R-spondin (Rspo) signaling is crucial for stem cell renewal and tissue homeostasis in the gastrointestinal tract. In the stomach, Rspo is secreted from myofibroblasts and controls epithelial gland regeneration by inducing proliferation of Wnt-responsive Axin2+ cells in the isthmus of the gland. Infection with H. pylori results in increased expression of stromal Rspo, leading to an expansion of Axin2+ isthmus stem cells and gland hyperplasia. Lgr5+ cells in the gland base are exposed to Rspo3 but the effects of this are not well understood. Here we demonstrate that apart from its activity as a mitogen, endogenous Rspo3 regulates gene expression of Lgr5+ cells in the gastric gland base. Surprisingly, Rspo3 induces differentiation within the Lgr5+ compartment towards secretory deep mucous cells. Moreover, the Rspo3-Lgr5 axis turns out to be a stimulus of epithelial antimicrobial defense. Infection with H. pylori induces a strong antimicrobial response, with Lgr5+ cells expressing antimicrobial compounds that are secreted into the lumen in an Rspo3-dependent manner. Depletion of Lgr5+ cells or knockout of Rspo3 in myofibroblasts leads to hyper-colonization of gastric glands, including the stem cell compartment, whereas systemic application of recombinant Rspo clears H. pylori from the glands. We provide an intriguing, unexpected feature of the Rspo3-Lgr5 axis in the stomach, exhibiting antimicrobial self-protection of the gland to protect the stem cell compartment from invading pathogens.

RNA-Seq of sorted Lgr5+ cells with and without infection with Helicobacter pylori

Project description:Wnt signaling stimulated by R-spondin (Rspo) via binding to Lgr family members is crucial for stem cell renewal and tissue homeostasis in the gastrointestinal tract. In the stomach, Rspo is secreted by myofibroblasts and controls epithelial gland regeneration by inducing proliferation of Wnt-responsive Axin2+ cells in the isthmus of glands. Infection with Helicobacter pylori results in increased expression of stromal Rspo, leading to an expansion of Axin2+ isthmus stem cells and gland hyperplasia. Basal Lgr5+ cells are exposed to Rspo3 but the effects of this are not well understood. Here we demonstrate that, in the antrum, endogenous Rspo3, apart from its activity as a mitogen, regulates Lgr5+ cells in the gland base and induces their differentiation towards secretory cells.

Gastric Myofibroblasts Control Chief Cell differentiation, and their recovery from SPEM

Project description:Chief cells expressing Wnt/R-spondin target genes are located in the stomach corpus gland base. These cells can act as reserve stem cells and their transdifferentiation is a hallmark of spasmolytic polypeptide expressing metaplasia (SPEM). Mechanisms that control their differentiation, transdifferentiation and re-differenitiation are not fully understood. We investigated the function of R-spondin 3, a Wnt signaling activator and Lgr5 ligand, by using conditional mouse models that enable manipulation of R-spondin 3 gene expression in gastric myofibroblasts.The effect and the physiological function of R-spondin 3 was analyzed in the corpus and colon with R-spondin 3 gene knock-out mice in Myh11+ myofibroblasts (Myh11-CreERT2; Rspo3fl/fl (RSPO3 KO) or R-spondin 3 gene knock-in overexpressiong myofibroblasts ( Myh11-CreERT2/Rosa26Sor6(CAG–Rspo3) ( RSPO3 KI)).
