Gli1 Deletion Prevents Helicobacter-Induced Gastric Metaplasia and Expansion of Myeloid Cell Subsets

Abstract: Chronic inflammation in the stomach induces metaplasia, the pre-cancerous lesion that precedes inflammation-driven neoplastic transformation. While Hedgehog signaling contributes to the initiation of some cancers, its role in gastric transformation remains poorly defined. We found that Helicobacter-infected C57BL/6 mice develop extensive mucous cell metaplasia at 6 month but not at 2 months post-infection. Gastric metaplasia coincided with the appearance of CD45+MHCII+CD11b+CD11c+ myeloid cells that were norma… Show more

“…Specifically, mice hemizygous for Gli1 are more susceptible to intestinal inflammation and chemical-induced injury (42). Gli1 ϩ/Ϫ mice are also less susceptible to inflammation-induced metaplasia upon Helicobacter pylori infection (43). In humans, a variant of Gli1 with reduced transcriptional function confers higher susceptibility to irritable bowel disease mediated by an altered myeloid response (42).…”

“…Cecal tissue was divided intro different groups: 1) For mass spectrometric analysis of kynurenine, cecal tissue was snap frozen in liquid nitrogen; 2) for RNA tissue samples were homogenized in TRIzol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and cleaned up using the RNEasy Microkit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) as previously described (21); 3) for histology, the cecum was cut longitudinally and the section incubated in formalin for 2 days followed by 70% ethanol, processing and paraffin embedding; 4) for frozen blocks, longitudinal cecal tissue was frozen in OCT compound (Fisher Scientific, Houston, TX) on dry ice (22); 5) for DNA samples to measure toxin DNA, cecal tissue was snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and extracted using the DNEasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen). All tissue segments were collected from equivalent positions within the ceca of different mice.…”

“…Immunofluorescence on frozen sections was performed as previously described (21). The following antibodies were used: polyclonal goat anti-mouse IDO1 (I-17 Cat # sc-25121, or M-20 Cat # sc-25123, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA); FITC conjugated monoclonal hamster anti CD11c (clone N418, Cat # 117306, BioLegend, San Diego, CA); monoclonal rabbit anti E-Cadherin (clone 24E10, Cat #3195, Cell Signaling, Boston, MA);FITC conjugated monoclonal mouse anti MPO (clone 2D4, Cat #ab90812, Abcam, Cambridge, MA); Alexa Fluor 647 conjugated (far red) monoclonal rat anti IFNγ (clone XMG1.2, Cat #505816, BioLegend).…”

“…Numerous studies indicate that the development and progression of glioma arises via miss-regulation of many related genes such as p53, p21, Akt, Gli1, and PTEN [1][2][3][4][5][6]. However, the regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood.…”
