Jackson Laboratory hhip lacz
(A-A’’) Simplified model of HH feedback inhibition. (A) Inactive HH signaling : PTCH1 suppresses SMO in the absence of HH ligand leading to production of GLI repressor (GLIR) and the suppression of HH-dependent gene expression. (A’) Active HH signaling : HH ligand binds to PTCH1, relieving SMO inhibition, and leading to GLI activator (GLIA) production and the initiation of HH target gene expression (including Gli1 , Ptch1 , and <t>Hhip</t> ). (A’’) HH feedback inhibition : HHIP protein sequesters HH ligand, allowing unbound PTCH1 to re-establish SMO repression, and the subsequent repression of HH pathway activity. (B-E) X-Gal staining of whole tongues from Gli1 <t>lacZ/+</t> , Gli2 lacZ /+ , Ptch1 lacZ /+ and Hhip lacZ /+ mice. (B) Gli1l acZ is expressed in all three taste papillae: fungiform (FP, circles) on the anterior tongue, foliate (FOL, bracket) and circumvallate (CV, box, B’) on the posterior tongue. The remaining tongue is covered by Gli1 lacZ negative non-taste filiform papillae (FILIF) on the anterior tongue and on the taste papilla-free intermolar eminence (B’’). The scale bars apply to all whole tongue images. (C-C’’) Gli2 lacZ is present in both taste (FP, CV and FOL) and non-taste FILIF papillae. (D-D’’) Ptch1 lacZ expression is apparent in FP, CV and FOL and in FILIF in intermolar eminence. (E-E’’) Hhip lacZ is expressed in non-taste FILIF in the anterior tongue and intermolar. Insets illustrate expression in FILIF surrounding FP (E) and in the intermolar eminence (E’’). Dotted lines demarcate intermolar eminence from anterior tongue.

(A-C) Antibody detection of endogenous HHIP (red) and taste bud (TB) cells (K8, green) after 5d whole body Smo deletion. Three categories of FP/TB: Typical FP/TB, Atypical FP/TB and Atypical FP/No TB are assessed. Percentage numbers are quantification of the three FP/TB types in a half tongue (total FP = 28). (A’-C’) X-Gal staining in the same sections demonstrates elimination of Gli1 lacZ HH-responding cells from FP basal and perigemmal cell regions in all the three FP/TB types. HHIP expression in Atypical FP with or without TB (arrows) and not in Typical FP/TB suggests a requirement of both SHH and Gli1 reduction for ectopic HHIP expression. Asterisks in B denote non-specific staining post X-Gal reactions. Dotted lines outline the base of the epithelium. Scale bar in A applies to all images. (D-F) Antibody detection of endogenous HHIP (red) and TB cells (K8, green) after Vehicle and 16d sonidegib treatment followed by 14 days Recovery (discontinuation of drug). Percentage numbers are quantification of Typical FP/TB and Atypical FP/No TB during Recovery from previous findings 4 . There is no HHIP expression in Typical FP/TB in Vehicle (D) or after Recovery (E). Ectopic HHIP expression is apparent in Atypical FP/No TB even after stopping the drug treatment for 14 days (F). (G-I) X-Gal staining in Gli1 lacZ reporter mouse in Vehicle and Sonidegib treated Recovery group showed usual Gli1 lacZ expression, in FP basal, perigemmal and stromal cells, in Vehicle (G) and in the recovered Typical FP/TB (H). In Atypical FP/No TB, while Gli1 lacZ expression is not restored in FP epithelium (I) HHIP expression is maintained at the FP apex (F). Thus, if Gli1l acZ + cells are resumed during recovery the ectopic HHIP expression is simultaneously lost, and when there is no Gli1 lacZ activity HHIP is retained. Dotted lines outline the base of the epithelium. Yellow dotted lines label the surface of epithelium. Scale bar applies to all images.

doi: 10.1002/dvdy.456

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A-F) Immunostaining of the chorda tympani, CT (P2X3, green) and lingual, LN nerves (NF, green), and taste bud cells (K8, red) in Control (no nerve cut) side of tongue and in contralateral tongue after 21 days of CT/LN nerve cut. Three types of fungiform papilla (FP)/taste bud (TB) are assessed: I. Typical FP/TB, II. Atypical FP/TB and III. Atypical FP/No TB. In Control, in Typical FP/TB, the CT nerve innervates TB (A) while the LN nerve is widely distributed to FP epithelial cells (D). After nerve cut, in Atypical FP with or without the TB, the CT nerve is eliminated (B,C) and LN nerve fibers are much reduced (E,F). (D’-F’) X-Gal staining in Hhip lacZ/+ reporter demonstrates expression in FILIF (Control) in Typical FP/TB and an ectopic expression at/near the FP apical region after the CT/LN nerve cut in Atypical FP/TB and Atypical FP/No TB (arrows). (G-I) HHIP immunostaining (red) resembles Hhip expression in Control tongue and in contralateral tongue after CT/LN nerve cut (arrows). K8 labels TB cells (green). Yellow dotted lines label the surface of epithelium in A-I. White dotted lines outline the base of the epithelium in A-I. Scale bar in A applies to the images in B and C. (J) Percentage of Typical FP/TB, Atypical FP/TB and Atypical FP/No TB in Control and CT/LN nerve cut. (K) Percentage of total FP with ectopic Hhip expression in Hhip lacZ reporter, in Control and after CT/LN nerve cut. (L) Percentage of total FP with ectopic HHIP expression in Control and after CT/LN nerve cut. Statistical analysis is independent sample t-test (*p<0.001; **p<0.01). Numbers in parentheses are number of animals analyzed.

(A) X-Gal staining from Gli1 lacZ/+ reporter in Control Typical FP/TB illustrates HH signaling in FP basal, perigemmal and stromal cells. (A’) HHIP immunostaining (red) in the same sections demonstrates expression in FILIF only (white arrows). (A’’) Merged images with TB cells (K8, green) indicate absence of HHIP and presence of Gli1 lacZ in Typical FP/TB. (B-E) After 21 days of chorda tympani (CT)/lingual (LN) nerve cut, X-Gal staining from Gli1 lacZ/+ reporter illustrates graded loss of HH signaling in FP basal and perigemmal cells. (B’-E’) HHIP immunostaining (red) in the same sections demonstrates an ectopic expression at FP apex in addition to the expression in FILIF (white arrows). (B’’-E’’) Merged images of Gli1 lacZ , HHIP and TB cells (K8, green) indicate opposing expression patterns of Gli1 lacZ and HHIP. (B-D) In Atypical FP/TB three different expression patterns of Gli1 lacZ and HHIP are observed. (B-B’’) Gli1 lacZ cells are retained in FP walls and there is no HHIP expression. (C-C’’) Gli1 lacZ cells are gradually lost from one side of FP wall and HHIP expression is observed at the FP apex on the same side where Gli1 lacZ is eliminated. (D-D’’) Gli1 lacZ cells are completely eliminated from FP walls and perigemmal cells, and HHIP ectopically expressed at both sides of FP apex bracketing the TB remnant. (E-E’’) In Atypical FP/No TB there are no Gli1 lacZ cells in FP and acquisition of HHIP in the entire FP apical area.

(A-C) HH signaling components in fungiform (FP) and filiform (FILIF) papilla. (A) Control: In Typical FP/TB, SHH ligand (green) is present with the TB basal cells. Gli1+ HH-responding cells (blue) are in FP basal epithelial and perigemmal cells. HHIP (red) is within FILIF only. Hedgehog pathway inhibition: (B) In Type II Atypical FP/TB there is reduction of SHH+ cells from TB, loss of Gli1 + cells in one side of the FP wall and associated ectopic HHIP expression at the FP apex on the same side as loss of Gli1+ cells. (C) When Gli1 + cells are completely eliminated from the FP walls along with loss of SHH in Type III Atypical FP/No TB, ectopic HHIP expression occurs in the FP apex in a location previously occupied by the TB. The FP has acquired a conical FILIF-like morphology. (D) In a proposed mechanism of action: In FP, SHH directly and/or indirectly via activating Gli1+ cells inhibits HHIP expression in the papilla. In FILIF, HHIP blocks expression of SHH and downstream Gli1 activity. (E) We propose that the SHH ligand is secreted along FP basal epithelial cells signaling to Gli1+ cells of the FP wall. Concurrently, HHIP from a FILIF cell subset is secreted along basal epithelial cells and inhibits HH signaling. At the rete peg region of the FP/FILIF epithelia, signaling via Gli1+ cells is inhibited.
