Maturing an Enteric Nervous System in Human Intestinal Organoid-derived Tissue-Engineered Small Intestine

ABSTRACT: Acquired or congenital disruption in enteric nervous system (ENS) development or function can lead to significant mechanical dysmotility. ENS restoration through cellular transplantation may provide a cure for enteric neuropathies. We have previously generated human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived tissue-engineered small intestine (TESI) from human intestinal organoids (HIO). However, HIO-TESI fails to develop an ENS. In a previous report of combined HIO with additional human enteric neural crest cells (ENCC), an ENS was established but lacked maturity. The purpose of our study is to establish a mature ENS derived exclusively from hPSC in HIO-TESI. hPSC-derived ENCC supplementation of HIO-TESI generates ENCC-HIO-TESI with mature submucosal and myenteric ganglia, repopulates excitatory, inhibitory, and sensory neurons, and restores the neuroepithelial circuit and neuron-dependent contractility and relaxation. Our findings validate a novel approach to restoring a functional hPSC-derived ENS in ENCC-HIO-TESI and implicate their potential for the treatment of enteric neuropathies.

Enteric pathogens induce tissue tolerance and prevent neuronal loss from subsequent infections

Project description:The enteric nervous system (ENS) controls several intestinal functions including motility and nutrient handling, which can be disrupted by infection-induced neuropathies or neuronal cell death. We investigated possible tolerance mechanisms preventing neuronal loss and disruption in gut motility after pathogen exposure. We found that following enteric infections, muscularis macrophages (MMs) acquire a tissue-protective phenotype that prevents neuronal loss and dysmotility during subsequent challenge with unrelated pathogens. Bacteria-induced neuroprotection relied on activation of gut-projecting sympathetic neurons and signaling via b2-adrenergic receptors (b2AR) on MMs. In contrast, helminth-mediated neuroprotection was dependent on T cells and systemic production of interleukin (IL)-4 and -13 by eosinophils, which induced arginase-expressing MMs that prevented neuronal loss from an unrelated infection located in a different intestinal region. Collectively, these data suggest that distinct enteric pathogens trigger a state of disease- or tissue tolerance that preserves ENS number and functionality.

Enteric nervous system injury and intestinal dysmotility after West Nile virus infection is mediated by perforin and Fas-ligand dependent T cell effector functions

Project description:Intestinal dysmotility syndromes have been linked to antecedent bacterial and viral infections. For example, infection of mice with the neurotropic flavivirus, West Nile Virus (WNV), leads to intestinal transit defects. Here, we find that within one week of WNV infection, enteric neurons and glia become damaged, resulting in a permanent reduction in their network density. Using cell-depleting antibodies, adoptive transfer experiments, and mice lacking specific immune cells or immune functions, we show that infiltrating WNV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells damage the enteric nervous system (ENS) and glia, which leads to intestinal dysmotility; these T cells use multiple and redundant effector functions including perforin and Fas ligand. In comparison, WNV-triggered ENS injury and intestinal dysmotility occurs independently of infiltrating monocytes, whereas resident muscularis macrophages prevent excessive damage to the ENS and glia. Overall, our experiments establish that antigen specific T cell subsets and their effector molecules responding to WNV infection cause an immune pathology directed against neurons and supporting glia that results in intestinal dysmotility.

The enteric nervous system relays psychological stress to intestinal inflammation [SnRNASeq_ENS]

Project description:Mental health profoundly impacts inflammatory responses in the body. This is particularly apparent in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), where psychological stress is associated with disease flares. Here, we discover a critical role for the enteric nervous system (ENS) in mediating the aggravating effect of chronic stress on intestinal inflammation. We find that chronically elevated levels of glucocorticoids drive the generation of an inflammatory subset of enteric glia that promotes monocyte- and TNF-mediated colitis via CSF1. Additionally, glucocorticoids cause transcriptional immaturity in enteric neurons, acetylcholine deficiency, and dysmotility via TGFβ2. We verify the connection between the psychological state, intestinal inflammation, and dysmotility in two cohorts of human IBD patients. Together, these findings offer a mechanistic explanation for the impact of the brain on peripheral inflammation, define the ENS as a relay between psychological stress and gut inflammation, and suggest that stress management could serve as a valuable component of IBD care.

Engineered human pluripotent stem cell-derived intestinal tissues with a functional enteric nervous system

Project description:The enteric nervous system (ENS) of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract controls many diverse functions including motility and epithelial permeability. Perturbations in ENS development or function are common, yet a human model to study ENS-intestinal biology is lacking. We have used a tissue engineering approach with pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) to generate human intestinal tissue containing a functional ENS. We recapitulated normal intestinal ENS development by combining PSC-derived neural crest cells (NCCs) with developing human intestinal organoids (HIOs). When cultured alone, NCCs had full differentiation potential in vitro, however when recombined with HIOs they differentiated into neurons and glial cells. NCC-derived ENS neurons self-assembled within the developing intestinal mesenchyme and exhibited neuronal activity as measured by rhythmic waves of calcium transients. ENS-containing HIOs grown in vivo formed neuroglial structures similar to a myenteric and submucosal plexus, formed interstitial cells of Cajal, and had an electro-mechanical coupling that regulated waves of propagating contraction. This is the first demonstration of a human PSC-derived intestinal tissue with a functional ENS.

Single Cell RNA-sequencing analysis of the juvenile and embryonic mouse enteric nervous system (ENS) of the small intestine

Project description:The study aimed to make a molecular definition of myenteric neuron classes in the mouse small intestine and describe their differentiation from enteric stem cells during embryogenesis. Method: We performed single cell RNA-sequencing of enteric neurons from small intestine at the juvenile stage (postnatal day (P)21) and ENS cells from the small intestine at embryonic day (E)15.5 and E18.5. We confirmed novel marker genes for all classes using immunohistochemistry and characterised the morphology/axons of three of newly discovered ENS neuron types. Results: 12 unique enteric neuron classes (ENC1-12) were identified and confirmed in native tissue by histochemical methods. The communication machinery (ligand, receptors, adhesion molecules), axonal patterns and morphologies were presented to infer functional roles of the ENCs. Analysis of embryonic transcriptomes revealed that enteric stem cells differentiate into two neuronal branches, that successively diversify into ENC1-7 and ENC8-12, respectively. Conclusion: Utilizing single cell RNA-sequencing we conclude that murine small intestine consists of 12 major myenteric classes that emerge through a step-wise fashion during embryonic development.

Single Cell RNA-sequencing analyasis of mouse glutamatergic myenteric neurons

Project description:The study aimed to uncover the molecular profile of mouse Vglut2-possitive enteric neurons (VGLUT2-ENs) by single-cell mRNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Method: We performed scRNA-seq of VGLUT2-ENs from distal intestine extracted from 6-8 weeks mice. We removed the non-neuronal cells, performed Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the gene expression level of 15 well accepted and curated myenteric neuron markers, and analyzed the expression of the mechanosensitive ion channels. Results: clustering analysis results from PCA on the 15 gene markers indicates a dominant cluster of VGLUT2-ENs; By comparing the expression levels of the mechanosensitive ion channels Piezo1 and Piezo2 in the non-VGLUT2- ENs and VGLUT2-ENs, we find significantly less expression level of piezo1 and piezo2 genes in the VGLUT2-EN population as compared with myenteric neurons negative for VGLUT2. Conclusion: Molecular profiling of VGLUT2-ENs through single-cell mRNA sequencing unveiled a unique expression profile, distinguishing them from typical interneurons. Additionally, VGLUT2-ENs displayed minimal expression of mechanosensitive ion channels (Piezo1 and Piezo2), setting them apart from mechanosensitive interneurons.

Expression data from embryonic day 17 (E17) enteric neural crest-dervied cells (ENCDC) and non-ENCDC

Project description:During the later stages of enteric nervous system (ENS) development, enteric neural crest derived cells (ENCDC) that have colonized the bowel must complete differentiating and mature into neurons and glia. This process is controlled by a complex array of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. We used microarrays to dermine which genes were differntially expressed in ENCDC versus other cells in the developing bowel. We identified many geness enriched in ENCDC with potential roles in the later stages of ENS development

Loss of enteric neuronal Ndrg4 promotes colorectal cancer via increased release of Nid1 and Fbln2

Project description:The N-Myc Downstream-Regulated Gene 4 (NDRG4), a prominent biomarker for colorectal cancer (CRC), is specifically expressed by enteric neurons. Considering that nerves are important members of the tumor microenvironment, we here establish different Ndrg4 knockout (Ndrg4-/-) CRC models and an in-direct co-culture of primary enteric nervous system (ENS) cells and intestinal organoids to identify whether the ENS, via NDRG4, affects intestinal tumorigenesis. Linking immunostainings and gastrointestinal motility (GI) assays, we show that absence of Ndrg4 does not trigger any functional or morphological GI-abnormalities. However, combining in vivo, in vitro and quantitative proteomics data, we uncover that Ndrg4 knockdown is associated with enlarged intestinal adenoma development and that organoid growth is boosted by the Ndrg4-/- ENS cell secretome, which is enriched for Nidogen-1 (Nid1) and Fibulin-2 (Fbln2). Moreover, NID1 and FBLN2 are expressed in enteric neurons, enhance tumorigenic capacities of CRC cells and are enriched in human CRC secretomes. Hence, we provide evidence that the ENS, via loss of Ndrg4, is involved in colorectal pathogenesis and that ENS-derived Nidogen-1 and Fibulin-2 enhance colorectal carcinogenesis.
