摘要:

文题释义:
肠类器官:来源于隐窝干细胞,在体外3D培养技术下,通过隐窝干细胞可增殖分化成各种功能的肠上皮细胞,可在体外重建出类似体内肠道细胞组成、生理结构和功能的三维立体肠组织。
沉默信息调节因子(Silent information regulator,SIRT):是具有去乙酰化酶活性的第三类去乙酰化酶的总称,主要通过依赖烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸发挥去乙酰化作用,SIRT家族参与了细胞新陈代谢、DNA损伤修复等细胞生命过程。 
SIRT6:是SIRT家族的成员之一,具有去乙酰化酶活性和单ADP核糖基转移酶活性,在调控衰老、糖酵解、脂质代谢、炎症、肿瘤和凋亡的发生发展中发挥着不可忽视的作用。

背景:肠黏膜更新是维持机体稳态的关键生理过程,其中隐窝干细胞是肠上皮增殖和分化的驱动力。沉默信息调节因子(silent information regulator,SIRT)参与细胞的基因修复、代谢、能量平衡和寿命的调节,在肠上皮稳态中的研究逐步成为热点。肠类器官由单个隐窝干细胞经3D培养形成,可体外呈现肠上皮更新及受损后修复过程,是研究肠黏膜更新的最新模式。
目的:探究SIRT6基因特异性敲除(SIRT6-i/-i)小鼠模型肠黏膜形态、肠类器官形成及其转录组学的特征性变化。
方法:①采用Cre-loxp方法建立SIRT6-i/-i小鼠模型,制备小肠组织石蜡切片并进行苏木精-伊红染色,观察其病理变化,免疫组化检测肠干细胞标记物Lgr5和潘氏细胞标记物溶菌酶的表达;②体外构建SIRT6-i/-i小鼠肠类器官模型,Western-blot检测类器官SIRT6蛋白变化,免疫荧光检测肠类器官Lgr5、细胞角蛋白20和黏蛋白2蛋白表达变化;③采用肠组织进行转录组测序,分析该模型小鼠差异基因及相关功能的特征变化。
结果与结论:①与野生型对照小鼠肠黏膜形态比较,SIRT6-i/-i小鼠肠黏膜出现绒毛稀疏、变短,隐窝高度变浅,且杯状细胞数目增多,潘氏细胞数目明显减少,Lgr5和溶菌酶的表达明显降低;②SIRT6-i/-i小鼠肠类器官中SIRT6蛋白表达明显降低,培养中出芽率明显减少,且Lgr5表达降低,吸收上皮细胞标记物细胞角蛋白20和杯状细胞标记物黏蛋白2表达水平升高;③转录组结果显示,与野生型对照小鼠比较,模型小鼠肠组织的差异基因有846个,其中上调基因438个,下调基因408个,差异基因在京都基因与基因组百科全书通路富集前5位的分别是化学致癌、药物代谢、视黄酸代谢、亚油酸代谢和类固醇生物合成,显著富集通路中关联的基因主要为Cyp2c29、Cyp2c65、Cyp3a11、Cyp3a25等Cyp450家族的改变;④结果表明,SIRT6缺失会导致肠道干细胞增殖和分化功能失衡,其机制可能与SIRT6调控代谢通路有关,其中SIRT6对细胞色素P450家族的调控与肠黏膜更新稳态关系密切。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Intestinal mucosal renewal is a key physiological process to maintain body homeostasis, and stem cells at the crypt base are the driving force for intestinal epithelial proliferation and differentiation. Silent information regulator (SIRT) is involved in the regulation of cell gene repair, metabolism, energy balance, and lifespan. Research on its role in intestinal epithelial homeostasis has gradually become a hot spot. Intestinal organoids are formed by 3D culture of single crypt stem cells, which can present the intestinal epithelial renewal and repair process after damage in vitro. It is the latest model for studying intestinal mucosal renewal. 
OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the characteristic changes of intestinal mucosal morphology, intestinal organoid formation and its transcriptomics in a SIRT6 gene-specific knockout (SIRT6-i/-i) mouse model. 
METHODS: The Cre-loxp method was used to establish the SIRT6-i/-i mouse mode. Paraffin sections of small intestine tissue were prepared to observe the pathological changes using hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the expression of intestinal stem cell marker Lgr5 and Paneth cell marker Lyso was detected by immunohistochemistry. The intestinal organoid SIRT6-i/-i mouse model was constructed in vitro, SIRT6 protein expression in intestinal organoids was detected by western blot assay, and the protein expression of Lgr5, cytokeratin 20 and mucin 2 in intestinal organoids was detected by immunofluorescence staining. The intestinal tissue was used for transcriptome sequencing, and the characteristic changes of the transcriptome in the mouse model were analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, SIRT6-i/-i mouse intestinal mucosa showed sparse and shortened villi, shallower crypts, increased number of goblet cells, significantly decreased number of Paneth cells, and significantly reduced expression of Lgr5 and Lyso. The expression of SIRT6 protein in the SIRT6-i/-i mouse organoid was significantly reduced. The budding rate of organoids and the expression of Lgr5 were reduced, while the expression of absorption epithelial cell marker cytokeratin 20 and goblet cell marker mucin 2 increased obviously. Transcriptome results showed that there were 846 differentially expressed genes between the control and model mouse intestine, including 438 up-regulated genes and 408 down-regulated genes. The top five differentially expressed genes enriched in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway were chemical carcinogens, drug metabolism, retinoic acid metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism, and steroid biosynthesis. And the differentially expressed genes in the top five pathways focusing on the Cyp450 family included Cyp2c29, Cyp2c65, Cyp3a11, and Cyp3a25. To conclude, SIRT6 gene deletion can lead to the imbalance of intestinal stem cell proliferation and differentiation, and the mechanism may be related to the metabolic regulation pathways of SIRT6. Regulating cytochrome P450 family by SIRT6 is closely related to the homeostasis of intestinal mucosal renewal.
