Figure Lengend Snippet: a) Differential abundance analysis of cell neighbourhoods from Martin 2019 dataset based on embedding on the whole atlas. Cell neighbourhoods with positive log fold change are enriched in CD compared to healthy samples. b) Overview of the number of MGN (Mucous gland neck)/INFLAREs ( Infla mmatory E pithelial cell s ) and donors per study, broken down by age and region of the GI. Dot size indicates the number of donors, colour indicates the number of cells. c) Subclustering of surface foveolar cells, showing heterogeneity of marker genes and additional genes upregulated in metaplastic surface foveolar cells. d) Deconvolution (BayesPrism) of bulk RNAseq dataset comparing MGN/INFLAREs in healthy (normal, n = 50) and CD (n = 254). e) Deconvolution (BayesPrism) of TCGA bulk RNAseq data of MGN/INFLAREs in healthy tissue (normal, n = 41) and tumour tissue stratified by microinstability status, n = 40 (Tumour_MSI-H), n = 42 (Tumour_MSI-L), n = 126 (Tumour_MSS) and n = 272 (Tumour_NA). MSI-high tumours are predicted to have higher levels of INFLAREs. f) Deconvolution (BayesPrism) of bulk RNAseq from celiac disease comparing MGN/INFLARE proportions in healthy and celiac disease tissue. For GSE131705, n = 21 (healthy) and n = 33 (celiac). For GSE145358, n = 6 (healthy), n = 15 (celiac gluten free) and n = 15 (celiac gluten challenge). For all box and whisker plots the lower edge, upper edge and centre of the box represent the 25th (Q1) percentile, 75th (Q3) percentile and the median, respectively. The interquartile range (IQR) is Q3 - Q1. Outliers are values beyond the whiskers (upper, Q3 + 1.5 x IQR; lower, Q1 - 1.5 x IQR). g) Protein and ABPAS staining of INFLAREs (MUC6, Magenta+Blue+ ABPAS staining) and Surface foveolar cells (MUC5AC) in CD ileum showing association with tertiary lymphoid structures (dense nuclei and CD3/CD20+ regions). h) Protein staining of INFLAREs (MUC6) and Surface foveolar cells (MUC5AC) from CD ileum tissue from additional donors. i) smFISH staining of INFLARE ( Infla mmatory E pithelial cell) markers ( MUC6, AQP5 and BPIFB1 ) in pyloric metaplasia of CD duodenum showing heterogeneity in AQP5 and BPIFB1 expression. j) Protein staining of INFLAREs (MUC6) in celiac disease duodenum from two separate donors. k) Protein staining of INFLAREs (MUC6) and Surface foveolar cells (MUC5AC) in colon resection tissue from ulcerative colitis patients. Upper and lower panels are images from two different patients.
Article Snippet: IHC was conducted for the following commercially available antibodies: anti-mouse MUC5AC (Sigma-Aldrich, MAB2011, 1:4000) and anti-mouse MUC6 (ScyTek, RA0224-C.1, 1:4000).
