Membrane proteomis profile along human colon

ABSTRACT: The colonic epithelium is a highly dynamic system important for regulation of ion and water homeostasis via absorption and secretion, and in maintaining a protective barrier between the outer milieu and the inside of our body. These processes are known to gradually change along the length of the colon, although a complete characterization at the protein level is lacking. We therefore analyzed the membrane proteome of isolated human (n=4) colonic epithelial cells from biopsies obtained via routine colonoscopy for four segments along the large intestine: ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid colon. Label-free quantitative proteomic analyses using high-resolution mass spectrometry were performed on enriched membrane proteins. The results showed a stable level for the majority of membrane proteins, while a distinct decrease in proteins associated with bacterial sensing, cation-transport and O-glycosylation in the proximal to distal direction. Proteins involved in microbial defense and anion-transport showed on the other hand an opposing gradient and increased towards the distal end. The gradient of ion-transporter proteins could be directly related to previously observed ion transport activities. All individual glycosyltransferases required for the O-glycosylation of the major colonic mucin MUC2 were observed and correlated with the known glycosylation variation along the colon axis. This is the first comprehensive quantitative dataset of membrane protein abundance along the human colon and will add to the knowledge of the physiological function of the different regions of the colonic mucosa.

Project description:Goal: Since disease susceptibility of the intestine exhibits an anatomical bias, we propose that the chromatin landscape, especially the site-specific epigenetic differences in histone modification patterns throughout the longitudinal axis, contributes to a differential response to chemoprotective agents. Method: We assessed the chromatin structure associated with gene expression profiles in the rat proximal and distal colon by globally correlating chromatin immunoprecipitation next-generation sequencing analysis (ChIP-Seq) with mRNA transcription (RNA-Seq) data. Crypts were isolated from the proximal and distal colonic regions from rats maintained on a semi-purified diet, and mRNA gene expression profiles were generated using RNA-Seq. The remaining isolated crypts were paraformaldehyde-crosslinked and chromatin immunoprecipitated using antibodies against H3K4me3, H3K9me3, and RNA Polymerase II. Results/Conclusion: Globally, RNA-Seq results indicated that 9,866 genes were actively expressed, of which 540 genes were differentially expressed between the proximal and distal colon. With regard to differentially expressed genes, a high correlation was observed between H3K4me3-Seq and RNA-Seq data, with 96% of the canonical pathways being similarly affected in the H3K4me3-Seq and RNA-Seq data sets. Gene ontology analysis indicated that colonic crypt location significantly impacted both chromatin and transcriptional regulation of genes involved in cell transformation, lipid metabolism, lymphatic development and immune cell trafficking. Gene function analysis indicated that the PI3-Kinase signaling pathway was regulated in a site-specific manner, e.g., pathway proto-oncogenes, c-Jun, c-Fos and ATF, were up-regulated in the distal colon. Middle and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were also detected in the colon, including select lncRNAs formerly only detected in the rat nervous system. In summary, distinct combinatorial patterns of histone modifications exist in the proximal versus distal colon. These site-specific differences may explain the differential effects of chemoprotective agents on cell transformation in the ascending (proximal) and descending (distal) colon. Examination of mRNA profiles and 2 different histone modifications (H3K4me3 and H3K9me3) in 2 tissue types (proximal and distal colon).

Project description:Understanding Natural Killer (NK) cell anatomical distribution is key to dissect the role of these unconventional lymphocytes in physiological and disease conditions. In mouse, NK cells have been detected in various lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs, while in humans the current knowledge of NK cell distribution at steady state is mainly restricted to lymphoid tissues. The translation to humans of findings obtained in mice is facilitated by the identification of NK cell markers conserved between these two species. The Natural Cytotoxicity Receptor (NCR) NKp46 is a marker of the NK cell lineage evolutionary conserved in mammals. In mice, NKp46 is also present on rare T cell subsets and on a subset of gut Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILCs) expressing the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gammat (RORgammat) transcription factor. Here, we documented the distribution and the phenotype of human NKp46+ cells in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues isolated from healthy donors. Human NKp46+ cells were found in splenic red pulp, in lymph nodes, in lungs and gut lamina propria, thus mirroring mouse NKp46+ cell distribution. We identified a novel cell subset of CD56dimNKp46low cells that includes RORgammat+ILCs with a lineage-CD94-CD117brightCD127bright phenotype.We also included data regarding the genome-wide transcriptional profiles of human healthy colonic NK cells and RORgammat+ILCs.The use of NKp46 thus contributes to establish the basis for analyzing quantitative and qualitative changes of NK cell and ILC subsets in human diseases. Human colonic CD56-NKp46lowCD117brightCD127bright cells = LTi cells and CD56+NKp46+CD117-CD127- cells =NK cells were isolated from macroscopically unaffected areas of colon of patients with colon cancer. Indicated populations were sorted and immediately lysed in RLT buffer supplemented with 10% beta-mercaptoethanol (Quiagen, France). Lysates of three distinct donors were pooled and RNA was isolated by using RNAeasy Microkit (Quiagen, France). Duplicates were performed for each cell type. cRNA were obtained after double amplification using the MessageAmp II aRNA Amplification Kit (Ambion, France). cRNA were then hybridized on Human Genome HG_U133 +2.0 Affymetrix chips. Chip images were generated using Affymetrix AGCC 3.2 software, then expression data were extracted and normalized using Affymetrix Expression console 1.1 with the algorithm RMA. Data obtained were expressed as log2.

Project description:Comparison of global gene expression in the proximal and distal colonic epithelium in azoxymethane treated rats. Experiment Overall Design: Ten male Sprague Dawley rats weighing approximately 245 Â± 14.5 g were housed in wire-bottomed caging in a temperature controlled room (22-24Â°C) with a 12 h light/dark cycle. They were randomly allocated into two groups (n=5) with approximately equal body weights. They were given free access to water and modified AIN-93G diet for 10 days when they were injected with 15 mg of AOM/kg subcutaneously (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, USA). They were anaesthetised with isoflurane and killed by exsanguination six hours after injection. The large bowel (excluding the rectum) was removed, opened longitudinally along the mesenteric border and digesta removed. The colon was rinsed clean with PBS and transferred to a chilled ceramic plate. The most distal and the most proximal 0.5 cm were discarded. Mucosal samples for gene expression and protein analyses were collected by scraping the next 4 cm of proximal and distal colon with new microscope slides. Experiment Overall Design: The mucosal scraping was transferred into RNAlater (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, USA) and stored at -80oC for later processing. All instruments were replaced or cleaned thoroughly between animals. All procedures involving animals were approved by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Human Nutrition Animal Ethics Committee and complied with the Australian code of practice (2004). Experiment Overall Design: The distal and proximal colonic mucosal samples were removed from the RNAlater stabilisation reagent (Sigma, Australia) and placed in 1ml of TRIzolÂ® Reagent (Invitrogen, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia). Samples were then homogenised using beads (mix of 2.5mm glass and 0.1 - 1.0mm diameter silicon-zirconian beads) in a MiniBeadbeater-8â¢ (BioSpec Products Inc. Oklahoma, US). Total RNA was then extracted according to the TRIzolÂ® Reagent manufacturerâs instruction after which samples were further purified using RNAeasy mini spin columns (QIAGEN, Doncaster, Victoria, Australia) with a DNase on-column digestion as per the manufactureâs instructions. The integrity of the RNA was checked using a Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies) and quantified using a NanoDropÂ® ND-1000 Spectrophotometer. Experiment Overall Design: RNA (4.5ug) samples were processed for Microarray expression analysis using high-density oligonucleotide arrays (AffymetrixÂ® GeneChip array, AffymetrixÂ®, Santa Clara, CA, USA) commensurate with the manufacturerâs instructions.
