Highly proliferative Lgr5+ stem cells maintain the intestinal epithelium and are thought to be largely homogeneous. Although quiescent intestinal stem cell (ISC) populations have been described, the identity and features of such a population remain controversial. Here we report unanticipated heterogeneity within the Lgr5+ ISC pool. We found that expression of the RNA-binding protein Mex3a labels a slowly cycling subpopulation of Lgr5+ ISCs that contribute to all intestinal lineages with distinct kinetics. Single-cell transcriptome profiling revealed that Lgr5+ cells adopt two discrete states, one of which is defined by a Mex3a expression program and relatively low levels of proliferation genes. During homeostasis, Mex3a+ cells continually shift into the rapidly dividing, self-renewing ISC pool. Chemotherapy and radiation preferentially target rapidly dividing Lgr5+ cells but spare the Mex3a-high/Lgr5+ population, helping to promote regeneration of the intestinal epithelium following toxic insults. Thus, Mex3a defines a reserve-like ISC population within the Lgr5+ compartment.

View all literature mentionsTHIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Software tools for modeling genetic ancestry based on the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) information. This package of functions helps the user account for genetic ancestry of a large number of individuals using spectral graph theory and projections to break a large problem into smaller pieces and calculate genetic ancestry information efficiently, i.e., a divide and conquer (dac) strategy. It is completely written in R and runs on any platform that supports R.
