Project description:Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), a chronic diffuse inflammation of the small intestine, is associated with stunting in children in the developing world. The pathobiology of EED is poorly understood because of the lack of a method to elucidate the host response. This study utilized a novel microarray method to interrogate the host transcriptome in feces in Malawian children with EED. Our data showed that the children studied had a range of %L values, consistent a spectrum of EED from normal to severe. We identified 12 transcripts associated with the severity of EED, including chemokines that stimulate T-cell proliferation, Fc fragments of multiple immunoglobulin families, interferon-induced proteins, activators of neutrophils and B-cells, and mediators that dampen cellular responses to hormones. EED associated transcripts mapped to pathways related to cell adhesion, and responses to a broad spectrum of viral, bacterial and parasitic microbes and enhanced phagocytosis. Several mucins, regulatory factors and protein kinases associated with the maintenance of the mucous layer were expressed less in children with EED than normal children. In conclusion, EED represents the focused activation of elements of the immune system and is associated with widespread intestinal barrier disruption. The differentially expressed transcripts may be explored as potential biomarkers. In 259 children, EED was measured by lactulose permeability (%L) in the small intestine. After isolating low copy numbers of mRNA, the transcriptome was reliably and reproducibly profiled. mRNA copy number was correlated with %L using analyses of covariance. The transcripts identified were mapped to biological pathways and processes.

In conclusion, EED represents the focused activation of elements of the immune system and is associated with widespread intestinal barrier disruption. The differentially expressed transcripts may be explored as potential biomarkers. This study was carried out, firstly using Affymetrix Human Transcriptome Array 2.0 (HTA2.0, data have already been deposited in the GEO database: GSE74681) to profile the transcriptome of the host stool RNAs in 259 subjects, and then using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assays to validate the microarray data in terms of signal correlation. The ddPCR assay was done for a total of 60 genes in 25 - 236 (median 67) of the 258 RNA samples per RNA availability (1 of 259 samples [stool_080B] was not used for any of the 60 assays due to lack of availability). The data of the first 42 assays (genes) in the matrix sheets were used in Figure 4 for signal correlation analysis, and the data of the rest 18 assays (genes) were used in Table 4 for validation of 18 significant genes identified in biological pathway analysis.

Project description:Functional gastrointestinal (GI) tract disorders affect a substantial proportion of the global population and are often preceded by intestinal infections that cause injury to enteric neurons and glia through unrestrained immune responses. However, the mechanisms that limit infection-induced inflammation and protect the enteric nervous system remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated neuron-glia-macrophage interactions after West Nile virus (WNV) infection, a model neurotropic virus that causes GI tract dysmotility via injury of enteric neurons through a T cell-mediated cytolytic mechanism. In response to WNV infection, resident muscularis macrophages upregulate antiviral, proinflammatory, and immunomodulatory genes. However, pharmacological depletion of resident macrophages did not affect viral burden in the GI tract, but rather reshaped the enteric glial response to WNV, resulting in excessive production of T cell and neutrophil chemoattractants. This amplified recruitment of immune cells worsened enteric neuronal injury. Together, our findings identify resident muscularis macrophages as key regulators of glia-driven inflammation during enteric viral infection and reveal their role in protecting enteric neurons from immune-mediated damage.

Project description:The enteric nervous system (ENS) encompasses the intrinsic neuroglia networks of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that are essential for digestive function and gut homeostasis. To investigate the ENS of zebrafish, we carried out bulk RNA sequencing on nuclei purified by FACS (fluorescent-activated cell sorting) representing both the Cherry+ (ENS) and Cherry- (non-ENS) muscularis externa cell populations of Tg(sox10:Cre;Cherry) zebrafish gut.

Project description:Neural crest cells give rise to the neurons of the enteric nervous system (ENS) that innervate the gastrointestinal tract to regulate gut motility. The immense size and distinct subregions of the gut present a challenge to understanding the spatial organization and sequential differentiation of different neuronal subtypes. Here, we profile enteric neurons and progenitors at single cell resolution during zebrafish embryonic and larval development to provide a near complete picture of transcriptional changes that accompany emergence of ENS neurons throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Multiplex spatial RNA transcript analysis reveals the temporal order and distinct localization patterns of neuronal subtypes along the length of the gut. Finally, we show that functional perturbation of select transcription factors Ebf1a, Gata3 and Satb2 alters the cell fate choice, respectively, of inhibitory, excitatory and serotonergic neuronal subtypes in the developing ENS.
