專題,PNAS:幽門螺桿菌可誘導體細胞恢復未分化細胞

近期來自東京大學的一組研究人員卻發(fā)現(xiàn)了幽門螺桿菌具有令體細胞恢復未分化細胞,回到干細胞狀態(tài)的類似作用,引起了多方的關注。相關成果公布在《美國國家科學院院刊》(PNAS)雜志上

 

2012年的諾貝爾生理/醫(yī)學獎頒給了英國科學家約翰·戈登(John B. Gurdon)和日本科學家山中伸彌(Shinya Yamanaka)獲獎,獲獎理由是“成熟細胞可被重編程恢復多能性”。這種技術(shù)的關鍵就在于利用四種轉(zhuǎn)錄因子令體細胞重新獲得多能性。

經(jīng)過多年的研究,其誘導轉(zhuǎn)錄因子已經(jīng)被發(fā)現(xiàn)可以用多種成分來代替,有的研究人員將其減少為了三種,兩種,有的研究人員則利用蛋白來實現(xiàn)誘導作用,然而近期來自東京大學的一組研究人員卻發(fā)現(xiàn)了幽門螺桿菌具有令體細胞恢復未分化細胞,回到干細胞狀態(tài)的類似作用,引起了多方的關注。相關成果公布在《美國國家科學院院刊》(PNAS)雜志上。

幽門螺桿菌(Helicobacter pylori)是從胃黏膜中分離出來的一種彎曲樣桿菌?,F(xiàn)已確認與慢性胃炎、消化性潰瘍病、低度惡性的胃鉆膜相關淋巴組織淋巴瘤和胃癌密切相關。

研究顯示幽門螺桿菌的慢性感染是胃黏膜腸化的主要原因,而且會受到腸特異性骶管相關同源異形盒 (CDX) 轉(zhuǎn)錄因子的異常誘導,其中CDX1和CDX2在這種腸化作用中扮演了重要角色。那么這些作用因子如何直接調(diào)控這種細胞,組織特異性開關的呢?

在這篇文章中,研究人員分析胃上皮細胞中被CDX1直接激活的基因,并從中找到了與重編程因子:SALL4 和 KLF5有關的干性特征,也就是說,當幽門螺桿菌表達的蛋白進入胃上皮細胞之后,CDX1就會激活這兩種基因,從而胃上皮細胞就會重編程成為一種類似干細胞,能發(fā)育成消化道各種細胞的干性細胞。

通過進一步分析,研究人員還發(fā)現(xiàn)抑制SALL4 或KLF5的表達,就會導致這種特性消失,這從側(cè)面也證明了CDX1誘導的SALL4和KLF5能逆轉(zhuǎn)胃上皮細胞轉(zhuǎn)變成類似干細胞的祖細胞。

這也解釋了為什么長期出現(xiàn)幽門螺桿菌感染造成的慢性胃炎,胃粘膜上就會出現(xiàn)腸道細胞,研究人員認為這可能是由于重編程為類似干細胞狀態(tài)的細胞分裂出了腸道細胞。

這些研究均表明,幽門螺桿菌具有令體細胞恢復未分化細胞,回到干細胞狀態(tài)的類似作用,而且由于干細胞也具有癌變的性質(zhì),因此這項研究也指出了此種感染與癌變的可能。

原文摘要:

CDX1 confers intestinal phenotype on gastric epithelial cells via induction of stemness-associated reprogramming factors SALL4 and KLF5

Intestinal metaplasia of the stomach, a mucosal change characterized by the conversion of gastric epithelium into an intestinal phenotype, is a precancerous lesion from which intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma arises. Chronic infection with Helicobacter pylori is a major cause of gastric intestinal metaplasia, and aberrant induction by H. pylori of the intestine-specific caudal-related homeobox (CDX) transcription factors, CDX1 and CDX2, plays a key role in this metaplastic change. As such, a critical issue arises as to how these factors govern the cell- and tissue-type switching. In this study, we explored genes directly activated by CDX1 in gastric epithelial cells and identified stemness-associated reprogramming factors SALL4 and KLF5. Indeed, SALL4 and KLF5 were aberrantly expressed in the CDX1+ intestinal metaplasia of the stomach in both humans and mice. In cultured gastric epithelial cells, sustained expression of CDX1 gave rise to the induction of early intestinal-stemness markers, followed by the expression of intestinal-differentiation markers. Furthermore, the induction of these markers was suppressed by inhibiting either SALL4 or KLF5 expression, indicating that CDX1-induced SALL4 and KLF5 converted gastric epithelial cells into tissue stem-like progenitor cells, which then transdifferentiated into intestinal epithelial cells. Our study places the stemness-related reprogramming factors as critical components of CDX1-directed transcriptional circuitries that promote intestinal metaplasia. Requirement of a transit through dedifferentiated stem/progenitor-like cells, which share properties in common with cancer stem cells, may underlie predisposition of intestinal metaplasia to neoplastic transformation.
