Abstract
The intestinal epithelium has a remarkably high turnover in homeostasis. It remains unresolved how this is orchestrated at the cellular level and how the behavior of stem and progenitor cells ensures tissue maintenance. To address this, we combined quantitative fate mapping in three complementary mouse models with mathematical modeling and single-cell RNA sequencing. Our integrated approach generated a spatially and temporally defined model of crypt maintenance based on two cycling populations: stem cells at the crypt-bottom and transit-amplifying (TA) cells above them. Subsequently, we validated the predictions from the mathematical model, demonstrating that fate decisions between the secretory and absorptive lineages are made within the stem cell compartment, whereas TA cell divisions contribute specifically to the absorptive lineage. These quantitative insights provide further direct evidence for crypt-bottom stem cells as the dominant driver of the intestinal epithelium replenishment.
期刊介绍:
Developmental Cell, established in 2001, is a comprehensive journal that explores a wide range of topics in cell and developmental biology. Our publication encompasses work across various disciplines within biology, with a particular emphasis on investigating the intersections between cell biology, developmental biology, and other related fields. Our primary objective is to present research conducted through a cell biological perspective, addressing the essential mechanisms governing cell function, cellular interactions, and responses to the environment. Moreover, we focus on understanding the collective behavior of cells, culminating in the formation of tissues, organs, and whole organisms, while also investigating the consequences of any malfunctions in these intricate processes.
