RESUMO

Epigenetic regulatory mechanisms are underappreciated, yet are critical for enteric nervous system (ENS) development and maintenance. We discovered that fetal loss of the epigenetic regulator Bap1 in the ENS lineage caused severe postnatal bowel dysfunction and early death in Tyrosinase-Cre Bap1fl/fl mice. Bap1-depleted ENS appeared normal in neonates; however, by P15, Bap1-deficient enteric neurons were largely absent from the small and large intestine of Tyrosinase-Cre Bap1fl/fl mice. Bowel motility became markedly abnormal with disproportionate loss of cholinergic neurons. Single-cell RNA sequencing at P5 showed that fetal Bap1 loss in Tyrosinase-Cre Bap1fl/fl mice markedly altered the composition and relative proportions of enteric neuron subtypes. In contrast, postnatal deletion of Bap1 did not cause enteric neuron loss or impaired bowel motility. These findings suggest that BAP1 is critical for postnatal enteric neuron differentiation and for early enteric neuron survival, a finding that may be relevant to the recently described human BAP1-associated neurodevelopmental disorder.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hirschsprung's disease is defined by the absence of the enteric nervous system (ENS) from the distal bowel. Primary treatment is "pull-through" surgery to remove bowel that lacks ENS, with reanastomosis of "normal" bowel near the anal verge. Problems after pull-through are common, and some may be due to retained hypoganglionic bowel (ie, low ENS density). Testing this hypothesis has been difficult because counting enteric neurons in tissue sections is unreliable, even for experts. Tissue clearing and 3-dimensional imaging provide better data about ENS structure than sectioning. METHODS: Regions from 11 human colons and 1 ileal specimen resected during Hirschsprung's disease pull-through surgery were cleared, stained with antibodies to visualize the ENS, and imaged by confocal microscopy. Control distal colon from people with no known bowel problems were similarly cleared, stained, and imaged. RESULTS: Quantitative analyses of human colon, ranging from 3 days to 60 years old, suggest age-dependent changes in the myenteric plexus area, ENS ganglion area, percentage of myenteric plexus occupied by ganglia, neurons/mm2, and neuron Feret's diameter. Neuron counting using 3-dimensional images was highly reproducible. High ENS density in neonatal colon allowed reliable neuron counts using 500-µm2 × 500-µm2 regions (36-fold smaller than in adults). Hirschsprung's samples varied 8-fold in proximal margin enteric neuron density and had diverse ENS architecture in resected bowel. CONCLUSIONS: Tissue clearing and 3-dimensional imaging provide more reliable information about ENS structure than tissue sections. ENS structure changes during childhood. Three-dimensional ENS anatomy may provide new insight into human bowel motility disorders, including Hirschsprung's disease.
