Project description:Since loss of Hes1 and Notch signalling drives progenitors to the endocrine lineage, we set up a pancreas explant system with crosses of heterozygous Neurog3tTA/+, a knock-in allele which makes the homozygote Neurog3tTA/tTA embryos deficient in Neurog3 (hereafter Neurog3-null). Hereby endocrine differentiation is impeded and we can study the Neurog3-independent role of Notch signalling by DAPT inhibition of γ-secretase. E12.5 wildtype and Neurog3-null pancreata were explanted on fibronectin, grown for 3 days, and then treated with vehicle control (0.1% DMSO) or DAPT for 24h. RNA was isolated and subjected to Agilent microarray analysis

Project description:RNA-seq of FACS Sorted E10.5 Pdx1-GFP+ of genotypes wildtype and Hes1-/-. Summary statement The developmental mechanisms that cause ectopic pancreas are poorly understood. We show that aberrant dorsal pancreas morphogenesis in Hes1 mutants leads to ectopic pancreas depending on the pro-endocrine gene Neurog3. Abstract Mutations in Hes1, a target gene of the Notch signalling pathway, lead to ectopic pancreas by a poorly described mechanism. Here we use genetic inactivation of Hes1 combined with lineage tracing in mouse embryos to reveal an endodermal requirement for Hes1 and that most ectopic pancreas tissue is derived from the E8.5 dorsal pancreas primordium. RNA-seq data from sorted E10.5 Pdx1-GFP+ cells from Hes1+/+ and Hes1−/− suggested that upregulation of endocrine lineage genes in Hes1−/− embryos was the major defect in the endoderm and accordingly early pancreas morphogenesis was normalised and the ectopic pancreas phenotype suppressed in Hes1−/−Neurog3−/− embryos. Analysis of other Notch pathway mutants uncovered a total depletion of progenitors in Mib1 deficient dorsal anlage, which was replaced by an anterior Gcg+ extension. Together, our results demonstrate that aberrant morphogenesis is the cause of ectopic pancreas and that a part of the endocrine differentiation program is mechanistically involved in the dysgenesis. Our results suggest that the ratio of endocrine lineage to progenitor cells is important for morphogenesis and that a strong endocrinogenic phenotype without complete progenitor depletion as seen in Hes1 mutants provokes an extreme dysgenesis that causes ectopic pancreas.

Project description:Bromodomain and Extra-terminal (BET) proteins are epigenetic readers that interact with acetylated lysines of histone tails. Recent studies have demonstrated their role in cancer progression, as they recruit key components of the transcriptional machinery to modulate gene expression. However, their role during embryonic development of the pancreas has never been studied. Using mouse embryonic pancreatic explants and human IPSC, we show that inhibition of BET proteins with either I-BET151 or JQ1 dramatically enhances the number of neurogenin3 (NEUROG3) endocrine progenitors, leading to an increased number of endocrine cells in the pancreatic explants. Despite inducing several β cell markers, BETi also strongly down-regulated Ins1 expression in developed explants and adult β cells. However, removal of BETi from explants prior to β cell development, as NEUROG3 expression peaks, further led to enhanced β cell development with higher expression of insulin and maturation markers UCN3 and MAFA. Altogether, these results show that BET proteins play a major role in the pancreas endocrine differentiation. Furthermore, they highlight the potential use of BETi to improve β cell replacement therapies.

Project description:Omental adipose tissue explants were cultured for 24h in serum-free medium in the presence of vehicle (control medium) or macrophage (LPS) and T-cell (anti-CD3/28) stimulants (active medium). SGBS human preadipocytes were differentiated into adipocytes and then exposed to 25% v/v control or active medium.

Project description:Atoh8 is a transcription factor of the basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family that is expressed in multiple tissues during embryonic development but whose specific functions remain unknown. The gene encoding Atoh8 is induced by various lineage- determining bHLH transcription factors in cell culture, suggesting a possible common role of this gene in multiple bHLH-driven differentiation programs. In the pancreas, the pro-endocrine bHLH factors Neurogenin3 (Neurog3) and NeuroD1 activate Atoh8 expression. Moreover, Atoh8 is expressed in the embryonic pancreas confirming its participation in the pancreatic transcriptional cascade. This work aims at gaining insight into the molecular function of Atoh8 during the endocrine differentiation program initiated by Neurog3 in the pancreas. To this aim, we have generated a recombinant adenovirus encoding an Atoh8-specific shRNA (Ad-shAtoh8) and used it to down-regulate expression of the Atoh8 gene in Neurog3-expressing pancreatic ductal cells (mPAC), a cellular model of endocrine cell differentiation. Thus, we have compared global changes in gene expression profiles between cells treated with Ad-Neurog3+shControl and cells treated with Ad-Neurog3+shAtoh8 using Affymetrix microarrays. Our results show that Atoh8 silencing significantly affects the expression of 293 genes in Neurog3-expressing mPAC cells. Gene Ontology analysis has revealed cell cycle as the biological function most significantly represented among the modified genes. These results uncover a potential function of Math6 as a regulator of cell cycle progression and provide novel insights into the link between Neurog3 and the regulation of the cell cycle.

Experiment was performed three independent times (3 independent biological replicates).

Project description:To better understand the mechanism by which HES1 regulates pancreas development we took advantage of recent developments in directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to the pancreatic endocrine lineage via a series of progenitor stages (Figure 1 and (Rezania et al., 2014). Using the iCRISPR platform (González et al., 2014), we introduced indels in the HES1 and NEUROG3 genes, either singly or in combination in iCRISPR H1 cells. Using previously described gRNAs (Zhu et al., 2016) to target exon2 of the NEUROG3 gene and exon2 of the HES1 gene we detected by Sanger and RNA-sequencing a 2 bp insertion and a T insertion, respectively, resulting in premature STOP codons in two/multiple clonal cell lines carrying the introduced mutation and the loss of NEUROG3 by immunostaining We then subjected two or more clonal lines of H1-iCRISPR (wildtype), HES1−/−, NEUROG3−/− and HES1−/−NEUROG3−/− (abbreviated H1N3-dKO or H1−/−N3−/−) to differentiation to β-like cells using a modified version of the protocol from Rezania et al. (2014). Marker analysis showed that all cell lines maintained pluripotency (OCT4+) as hESC and were able to differentiate to FOXA2+ and SOX17+ co-positive definitive endoderm (DE, Day 3), PDX1+ cells at the posterior foregut stage (PF, Day 7), to bipotent progenitors marked by PDX1+ and NKX6-1+ at the Pancreatic Endoderm stage (PE, Day 10), and the Endocrine Precursor stage (EP, Day 13)
