Project description:Control of stomach smooth muscle development and intestinal rotation by transcription factor BARX1
| PRJNA285480 | ENA
Project description:Diverse functions of the homeodomain transcription factor BARX1 include Wnt-dependent, non-cell autonomous specification of the stomach epithelium, tracheo-bronchial septation, and Wnt-independent expansion of the spleen primordium. Tight spatio-temporal regulation of Barx1 levels in the mesentery and stomach mesenchyme suggests additional roles. To determine these functions, we forced constitutive BARX1 expression in the Bapx1 expression domain, which includes the mesentery and intestinal mesenchyme, and also examined Barx1-/- embryos in further detail. Transgenic embryos invariably showed intestinal truncation and malrotation, in part reflecting abnormal left-right patterning. Ectopic BARX1 expression did not affect intestinal epithelium, but intestinal smooth muscle developed with features typical of the stomach wall. BARX1, which is normally restricted to the developing stomach, drives robust smooth muscle expansion in this organ by promoting proliferation of myogenic progenitors at the expense of other sub-epithelial cells. Undifferentiated embryonic stomach and intestinal mesenchyme showed modest differences in mRNA expression and BARX1 was sufficient to induce much of the stomach profile in intestinal cells. However, limited binding at cis-regulatory sites implies that BARX1 may act principally through other transcription factors. Genes expressed ectopically in BARX1+ intestinal mesenchyme and reduced in Barx1-/- stomach mesenchyme include Isl1, Pitx1, Six2 and Pitx2, transcription factors known to control left-right patterning and influence smooth muscle development. The sum of evidence suggests that potent BARX1 functions in intestinal rotation and stomach myogenesis occur through this small group of intermediary transcription factors. To investigate how Barx1 regulates gut smooth muscle development in a cell-autonomous manner, we used Affymetrix arrays to profile genes enriched in wild-type stomach and BARX1-overexpressing intestinal mesenchyme, compared to wild-type intestinal mesenchyme.

Project description:Smooth muscle differentiation has been proposed to sculpt airway epithelial branches in mammalian lungs. Serum response factor (SRF) acts with its cofactor myocardin to promote the expression of contractile smooth muscle markers. However, smooth muscle cells exhibit a variety of phenotypes beyond contractile that are independent of SRF-myocardin-induced transcription. To determine whether airway smooth muscle exhibits phenotypic plasticity during embryonic development, we deleted Srf from the pulmonary mesenchyme. Srf-mutant lungs branch normally, and the mesenchyme exhibits normal cytoskeletal features and patterning. scRNA-seq revealed an Srf-null smooth muscle cluster wrapping the airways of mutant lungs that lacks contractile smooth muscle markers but retains many features of control smooth muscle. Srf-null airway smooth muscle exhibits a synthetic phenotype, compared to the contractile phenotype of wildtype airway smooth muscle. Our findings reveal plasticity in mesenchymal differentiation during lung development and demonstrate that a synthetic smooth muscle layer is sufficient for airway branching morphogenesis.

Project description:Smooth muscle is an essential component of the intestine, both to maintain its structure and produce peristaltic and segmentation movements. However, very little is known about other putative roles that smooth muscle may have. Here, we show that smooth muscle is the dominant supplier of BMP antagonists, which are niche factors that are essential for intestinal stem cell maintenance. Furthermore, muscle-derived factors can render epithelium reparative and fetal-like, which includes heightened YAP activity. Mechanistically, we find that the matrix metalloproteinase MMP17, which is exclusively expressed by smooth muscle, is required for intestinal epithelial repair after inflammation- or irradiation-induced injury. Furthermore, we provide evidence that MMP17 affects intestinal epithelial reprogramming indirectly by cleaving the matricellular protein PERIOSTIN, which itself is able to activate YAP. Together, we identify an important signaling axis that firmly establishes a role for smooth muscle as a modulator of intestinal epithelial regeneration and the intestinal stem cell niche.

Project description:Stomach and intestinal adult epithelia harbor stem cells that are responsible for their continuous regeneration. Stomach and intestinal stem cells differ in their differentiation program and in the gene repertoire that they express. We show that single adult Lgr5-positive stem cells, isolated from 3D cultured small intestinal organoids, require Cdx2 to maintain their intestinal identity and are converted cell-autonomously into stomach-pyloric stem cells in the absence of this transcription factor. In order to obtain Cdx2null intestinal stem cells carrying the Lgr5-EGFP marker, 5-6 days old small intestinal organoids generated from Cdx2-/fl/Lgr5-EGFP-Ires-CreERT2 mice were incubated with 1 µM of 4-hydroxytamoxifen in intestinal culture medium for 16h to activate the Cre recombinase. Controls were 4-hydroxytamoxifen-untreated small intestinal (Control SI) and stomach (Control Sto) organoids issued from mice with the same genotype. The organoids were dissociated and sorted for EGFPhi. Cdx2null, Control SI and Control Sto clonal organoids were generated and expanded from Lgr5-EGFPhi single cells in stomach specific culture medium (ENRWfg) and RNA was isolated for RNA-Seq analysis. Cdx2+ Stomach (Sto) organoids were generated by infection of the wild type stomach organoids with lentiviral stock expressing Cdx2. They were cultured in stomach medium (ENRWfg) and RNA was isolated for RNA-Seq analysis

Project description:The esophagus is a muscular tube which transports swallowed content from the oral cavity and the pharynx to the stomach. Early in mouse development, an entire layer of the esophagus, the muscularis externa, consists of differentiated smooth muscle cells. Starting shortly after mid-gestation till about two weeks after birth, the muscularis externa almost entirely consists of striated muscle. This proximal-to-distal replacement of smooth muscle by the striated muscle depends on a number of factors. To identify the nature of the hypothetical “proximal” (mainly striated muscle originating) and “distal” (mainly smooth muscle originating) signals that govern the striated-for-smooth muscle replacement, we compared the esophagus of Myf5:MyoD null fetuses completely lacking striated muscle to the normal control using cDNA microarray analysis, followed by a comprehensive databases search. Here we provide an insight into the nature of “proximal” and “distal” signals that govern the striated-for-smooth muscle replacement in the esophagus.
