Goblet Cell Metaplasia

AbstractTargeting airway goblet cell metaplasia is a novel strategy that can potentially reduce the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms. Tumor suppressor liver kinase B1 (LKB1) is an important regulator of the proliferation and differentiation of stem/progenitor cells. In this study, we report that LKB1 expression was downregulated in the lungs of patients with COPD and in those of cigarette smoke-exposed mice. Nkx2.1Cre; Lkb1f/f mice with conditional loss of Lkb1 in mouse lung epithelium displayed airway mucus hypersecretion and pulmonary macrophage infiltration. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of the lung tissues from Nkx2.1Cre; Lkb1f/f mice further revealed that airway goblet cell differentiation was altered in the absence of LKB1. An organoid culture study demonstrated that Lkb1 deficiency in mouse airway (club) progenitor cells promoted the expression of FIZZ1/RELM-α, which drove airway goblet cell differentiation and pulmonary macrophage recruitment. Additionally, monocyte-derived macrophages in the lungs of Nkx2.1Cre; Lkb1f/f mice exhibited an alternatively activated M2 phenotype, while expressing RELM-α, which subsequently aggravated airway goblet cell metaplasia. Our findings suggest that the LKB1-mediated crosstalk between airway progenitor cells and macrophages regulates airway goblet cell metaplasia. Moreover, our data suggest that LKB1 agonists might serve as a potential therapeutic option to treat respiratory disorders associated with goblet cell metaplasia.

Goblet cell hyperplasia is an important manifestation of cystic fibrosis (CF) disease in epithelial-lined organs. Explants of CF airway epithelium show normalization of goblet cell numbers; therefore we hypothesized that small intestinal enteroids from Cftr knockout (KO) mice would not exhibit goblet cell hyperplasia. Toll-like receptors 2 and 4 (Tlr2, Tlr4) were investigated as markers of inflammation and influence on goblet cell differentiation. Ex vivo studies found goblet cell hyperplasia in Cftr KO jejunum as compared to wild-type (WT). IL-13, SAM pointed domain-containing ETS transcription factor (Spdef), Tlr2 and Tlr4 protein expression was increased in Cftr KO intestine relative to WT. In contrast, WT and Cftr KO enteroids did not exhibit differences in basal or IL-13-stimulated goblet cell numbers, or differences in expression of Tlr2, Tlr4 and Spdef. Ileal goblet cell numbers in Cftr KO/Tlr4 KO and Cftr KO/Tlr2 KO mice were not different from Cftr KO mice, but enumeration was confounded by altered mucosal morphology. Treatment with Tlr4 agonist LPS did not affect goblet cell numbers in WT or Cftr KO enteroids, whereas the Tlr2 agonist Pam3Csk4 stimulated goblet cell hyperplasia in both genotypes. Pam3Csk4 stimulation of goblet cell numbers was associated with suppression of Notch1 and Neurog3 expression and upregulated determinants of goblet cell differentiation. We conclude that goblet cell hyperplasia and inflammation of the Cftr KO small intestine are not exhibited by enteroids, indicating that this manifestation of CF intestinal disease is not epithelial-automatous but secondary to the altered CF intestinal environment.

Abstract Background The enzyme glutathione S-transferase theta 1 (GSTT1) is involved in detoxifying chemicals, including reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Although mutation of the GSTT1 gene increases IBD susceptibility, the underlying mechanisms remain unexplained. Methods The Gstt1 gene was intrarectally or intraperitoneally delivered to mice with dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-induced colitis. The GSTT1 gene was knocked down or knocked out using short interfering RNA or genome editing, respectively. Protein and mRNA expression and differentiation of goblet cells were evaluated. Results We identified decreased expression of GSTT1 in inflamed tissues from IBD patients and mice compared with their control counterparts, respectively. We also noted attenuation of colitis through gene transfer of Gstt1 to DSS-treated mice via the interleukin-22 (IL-22) pathway. GSTT1 was differently regulated by pathogens and host immune responses. Down-regulation of GSTT1 reduced innate defence responses and goblet cell differentiation. The GSTT1 mutation in intestinal epithelial cells as well as IBD patients diminished its dimerisation, which was connected to insufficient phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 and p38/mitogen-activated protein kinase by their common activator, IL-22. Conclusion GSTT1 ameliorated IL-22 in colitis in a dependent manner and contributed as a modulator of goblet cells through sensing pathogens and host immune responses. Its mutations are linked to chronic intestinal inflammation due to its insufficient dimerisation. Our results provide new insights into GSTT1 mutations and their functional consequences in IBDs.

Goblet cell metaplasia and mucus hypersecretion are observed in many pulmonary diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis. However, the regulation of goblet cell differentiation remains unclear. Here, we identify a regulator of this process in anN-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) screen for modulators of postnatal lung development;Rykmutant mice exhibit lung inflammation, goblet cell hyperplasia, and mucus hypersecretion. RYK functions as a WNT coreceptor, and, in the developing lung, we observed high RYK expression in airway epithelial cells and moderate expression in mesenchymal cells as well as in alveolar epithelial cells. From transcriptomic analyses and follow-up studies, we found decreased WNT/β-catenin signaling activity in the mutant lung epithelium. Epithelial-specificRykdeletion causes goblet cell hyperplasia and mucus hypersecretion but not inflammation, while club cell-specificRykdeletion in adult stages leads to goblet cell hyperplasia and mucus hypersecretion during regeneration. We also found that the airway epithelium of COPD patients often displays goblet cell metaplastic foci, as well as reduced RYK expression. Altogether, our findings reveal that RYK plays important roles in maintaining the balance between airway epithelial cell populations during development and repair, and that defects in RYK expression or function may contribute to the pathogenesis of human lung diseases.

Goblet Cell Differentiation

The intestinal epithelium is a highly dynamic structure that rejuvenates in response to acute stressors and can undergo alterations in cellular composition as animals age. The microbiota, acting via secreted factors related to indole, appear to regulate the sensitivity of the epithelium to stressors and promote epithelial repair via IL-22 and type I IFN signaling. As animals age, the cellular composition of the intestinal epithelium changes, resulting in a decreased proportion of goblet cells in the colon. We show that colonization of young or geriatric mice with bacteria that secrete indoles and various derivatives or administration of the indole derivative indole-3 aldehyde increases proliferation of epithelial cells and promotes goblet cell differentiation, reversing an effect of aging. To induce goblet cell differentiation, indole acts via the xenobiotic aryl hydrocarbon receptor to increase expression of the cytokine IL-10. However, the effects of indoles on goblet cells do not depend on type I IFN or on IL-22 signaling, pathways responsible for protection against acute stressors. Thus, indoles derived from the commensal microbiota regulate intestinal homeostasis, especially during aging, via mechanisms distinct from those used during responses to acute stressors. Indoles may have utility as an intervention to limit the decline of barrier integrity and the resulting systemic inflammation that occurs with aging.
