    Abstract Intestinal helminths remain highly pervasive throughout the animal kingdom by modulating multiple aspects of the host immune response. The intestinal epithelium functions as a physical barrier as well as a sentinel innate immune tissue with the ability to sense and respond to infectious agents. Although helminths form intimate interactions with the epithelium, comprehensive knowledge about host-helminth interactions at this dynamic interface is lacking. In addition, little is known about the ability of helminths to directly shape the fate of this barrier tissue. Here, we review the diverse pathways by which helminths regulate the epithelium and highlight the emerging field of direct helminth regulation of intestinal stem cell (ISC) fate and function.

    Abstract Recently developed in situ hybridization (ISH) methods, such as RNAscope™, have greatly expanded the accessibility and usefulness of ISH in biomedical research. Among many other advantages over traditional ISH, these newer methods enable the simultaneous use of multiple probes, including combination with antibody or lectin staining. We herein illustrate the application of RNAscope™ multiplex ISH in the study of the adapter protein Dok-4 in acute kidney injury (AKI). Specifically, we used multiplex ISH to define the expression of Dok-4 and some of its putative binding partners, together with nephron segment markers, as well as markers of proliferation and tubular injury. We also illustrate the use of QuPath image analysis software to perform quantitative analyses of multiplex ISH. Furthermore, we describe how these analyses can exploit the uncoupling of mRNA and protein expression in a knockout (KO) mouse created by CRISPR/CAS9-mediated frame shift to carry out highly focused molecular phenotyping studies at the single-cell level.

    Abstract Despite the environmental constraints imposed upon the intestinal epithelium, this tissue must perform essential functions such as nutrient absorption and hormonal regulation, while also acting as a critical barrier to the outside world. These functions depend on a variety of specialized cell types that are constantly renewed by a rapidly proliferating population of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) residing at the base of the crypts of Lieberkühn. The niche components and signals regulating crypt morphogenesis and maintenance of homeostatic ISCs have been intensely studied over the last decades. Increasingly, however, researchers are turning their attention to unraveling the mechanisms driving gut epithelial regeneration due to physical damage or infection. It is now well established that injury to the gut barrier triggers major cell fate changes, demonstrating the highly plastic nature of the gut epithelium. In particular, lineage tracing and transcriptional profiling experiments have uncovered several injury-induced stem-cell populations and molecular markers of the regenerative state. Despite the progress achieved in recent years, several questions remain unresolved, particularly regarding the mechanisms driving dedifferentiation of the gut epithelium. In this review, we summarize the latest studies, primarily from murine models, that define the regenerative processes governing the gut epithelium and discuss areas that will require more in-depth investigation.

    Abstract The Hippo pathway is a unique signalling module that regulates cell-specific transcriptional responses and responds to a wide range of intrinsic and extrinsic cues. Besides its classical role in restricting tissue size during development, Hippo signalling is now recognized to control numerous processes including cell proliferation, survival, cell fate determination, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions and cell migration. Because of its highly dynamic nature, the intestinal epithelium has served as an exceptional model to study the complex roles of Hippo signalling. In this review, we shall present an overview of Hippo function in the mammalian intestine and discuss the various mechanisms regulating Hippo signalling and how they contribute to intestinal regeneration and cancer.

    Abstract The Hippo signaling effector Yes-associated protein (Yap) is known for its potent control of tissue growth. Our recent work now shows that Yap promotes regeneration in the intestine by reprogramming intestinal stem cells and blocking their terminal differentiation. Similarly, in tumor-initiating cells Yap regenerative signaling synergizes with Wnt activation to drive adenoma formation.

    Abstract The development of intestinal organoid technology has greatly accelerated research in the field of colorectal cancer. Contrary to traditional cancer cell lines, organoids are composed of multiple cell types arranged in 3D structures highly reminiscent of their native tissues. Thus, organoids provide a near-physiological and readily accessible model to study tissue morphogenesis, adult stem cell behavior and tumorigenesis. Here, we provide protocols for establishing intestinal organoid cultures from genetically modified mouse lines and describe methods to overexpress and knockout genes of interest using lentiviral-based approaches.
