Single-cell transcriptomics reveals unique features of human pancreatic islet cell subtypes

ABSTRACT: We report the single-cell RNA-seq based identification of 6 known human islet cell types (alpha cells, beta cells, delta cells, pp cells, acinar cells and duct cells) based on the expression of known marker genes. We further assess cell type specific gene expression and suggest novel marker genes for several cell types.

Pancreatic islets of Langerhans contain several specialized endocrine cell types, which are commonly identified by the expression of single marker genes. However, the established marker genes cannot capture the complete spectrum of cellular heterogeneity in human pancreatic islets, and existing bulk transcriptome datasets provide averages across several cell populations. To dissect the cellular composition of the human pancreatic islet and to establish transcriptomes for all major cell types, we ...[more]

Chromatin stretch enhancer states drive cell-specific gene regulation and harbor human disease risk variants (RNA-seq)

Project description:Chromatin-based functional genomic analyses and genomewide association studies (GWASs) together implicate enhancers as critical elements influencing gene expression and risk for common diseases. Here, we performed systematic chromatin and transcriptome profiling in human pancreatic islets. Integrated analysis of islet data with those generated by the ENCODE project in nine cell types identified specific and significant enrichment of type 2 diabetes and related quantitative trait GWAS variants in islet enhancers. Our integrated chromatin maps reveal that most enhancers are short (median = 0.8 kb). Each cell type also contains a substantial number of more extended (?3 kb) enhancers. Interestingly, these stretch enhancers are often tissue-specific and overlap locus control regions, suggesting that they are important chromatin regulatory beacons. Indeed, we show that (i) tissue specificity of enhancers and nearby gene expression increase with enhancer length; (ii) neighborhoods containing stretch enhancers are enriched for important cell type-specific genes; and (iii) GWAS variants associated with traits relevant to a particular cell type are more enriched in stretch enhancers compared with short enhancers. Reporter constructs containing stretch enhancer sequences exhibited tissue-specific activity in cell culture experiments and in transgenic mice. These results suggest that stretch enhancers are critical chromatin elements for coordinating cell type-specific regulatory programs and that sequence variation in stretch enhancers affects risk of major common human diseases.

Chromatin stretch enhancer states drive cell-specific gene regulation and harbor human disease risk variants (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Chromatin-based functional genomic analyses and genomewide association studies (GWASs) together implicate enhancers as critical elements influencing gene expression and risk for common diseases. Here, we performed systematic chromatin and transcriptome pro- filing in human pancreatic islets. Integrated analysis of islet data with those generated by the ENCODE project in nine cell types identified specific and significant enrichment of type 2 diabetes and related quantitative trait GWAS variants in islet enhancers. Our integrated chromatin maps reveal that most enhancers are short (median = 0.8 kb). Each cell type also contains a substantial number of more extended (≥3 kb) enhancers. Interestingly, these stretch enhancers are often tissue-specific and overlap locus control regions, suggesting that they are important chromatin regulatory beacons. Indeed, we show that (i) tissue specificity of enhancers and nearby gene expression increase with enhancer length; (ii) neighborhoods containing stretch enhancers are enriched for important cell type– specific genes; and (iii) GWAS variants associated with traits rele- vant to a particular cell type are more enriched in stretch enhancers compared with short enhancers.

Ribosome profiling analysis of Dengue Virus

Project description:Dengue virus is an + strand RNA virus. We have carried our infections of human cells with Dengue and analyzed the translation, replication, and localization of the Dengue RNA. This allowed for clear definition of the life cycle of the Dengue virus inside a host cell. We also assessed the host response to Dengue virus, finding that a large fraction of the translational response is due to Interferon function. Translational and transcriptional analysis of the cellular response to Dengue virus infection

Genome-wide effect of islet isolation and in vitro culture on gene expression profile of pancreatic beta-cells enriched tissue.

Project description:It is known that the stresses encountered during islet isolation have deleterious effects on beta-cell physiology. The nature of these effects, however, is incompletely known, partly due to the heterogeneity of islet preparations. The objective was to assess the genome-wide effect of islet isolation and in-vitro culture on beta-cell transcriptome. Beta cells identified by their intrinsic autofluorescence, were captured from donor pancreas and isolated islets using Laser Capture Microdissection. Beta cells from donor pancreas serve as the control. Our results indicated induction of a strong inflammatory response induced by islet isolation which continues during in vitro culture manifested by upregulation of several cytokines, chemokines and their receptors. IL-8 was induced by 3.6-fold and 56-fold in fresh and 3-days cultured islets respectively. Concordantly, several pancreatic progenitor cell-specific transcription factors like were upregulated in cultured islets, suggesting progressive transformation of mature beta-cell phenotype toward an immature endocrine cell phenotype. There are three sample types in our experiment; 1) beta-cells captured from the frozen sections of donor pancreas n=8, 2) beta cells extracted from islets frozen immediately after isolation (d0 islets) n=8 and, 3) beta cells extracted from isolated islets frozen after culturing for 3 days (d3 islets) n=5. For the analysis, beta cells from pancreas were considered as the reference point.

Redifferentiation of adult human M-NM-2 cells expanded in vitro by inhibition of the WNT pathway

Project description:In vitro expansion of adult human islet M-NM-2 cells is an attractive solution for the shortage of tissue for cell replacement therapy of type 1 diabetes. Using a lineage tracing approach, we have demonstrated that M-NM-2-cell-derived (BCD) cells rapidly dedifferentiate in culture and can proliferate for up to 16 population doublings. Dedifferentiation is associated with changes resembling epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The WNT pathway has been shown to induce EMT and plays key roles in regulating replication and differentiation in many cell types. Here we show that BCD cell dedifferentiation is associated with M-NM-2-catenin translocation into the nucleus and activation of the WNT pathway. Inhibition of M-NM-2-catenin expression in expanded BCD cells using short hairpin RNA resulted in growth arrest, mesenchymal-epithelial transition, and redifferentiation, as judged by activation of M-NM-2-cell gene expression. Furthermore, inhibition of M-NM-2-catenin expression synergized with redifferentiation induced by a combination of soluble factors, as judged by an increase in the number of C-peptide-positive cells. Simultaneous inhibition of the WNT and NOTCH pathways also resulted in a synergistic effect on redifferentiation. These findings, which were reproducible in cells derived from multiple human donors, suggest that inhibition of the WNT pathway may contribute to a therapeutically applicable way for generation of functional insulin-producing cells following ex-vivo expansion. Gene expression was studied for beta-cells (4 donors). Dedifferentiation was induced by inhibition of M-NM-2-catenin expression using shRNA. The experiment was performed in 4 batches (see the 'Date' characteristic in the Sample records).

Open chromatin mapping identifies transcriptional networks regulating human epididymis epithelial function [Rnase-Seq]

Project description:The epithelium lining the epididymis in the male reproductive tract maintains a luminal environment that promotes sperm cell maturation. This process is dependent on the coordinated expression of many genes that encode proteins with a role in epithelial transport. We previously generated genome-wide maps of open chromatin in primary human fetal epididymis epithelial cells to identify potential regulatory elements controlling coordinated gene expression in the epididymis epithelium. Subsequent in silico analysis identified transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) that were over-represented in the HEE open chromatin, include the motif for paired box 2 (PAX2). PAX2 is a critical transcriptional regulator of urogenital tract development, which is well studied in the kidney but is unexplored in the epididymis. Due to the limited lifespan of primary HEE cells in culture we investigated the role of PAX2 in an immortalized HEE cell line (REP). First, REP cells were evaluated by DNase-seq and their open chromatin map overlapped that of primary HEE cells at ~ 65% of sites. Moreover, the PAX2-binding motif was again identified as an overrepresented TFBS within intergenic open chromatin, though on fewer chromosomes than in the primary HEE cells. To identify PAX2-target genes in REP cells, RNA-seq analysis was performed after siRNA-mediated depletion of PAX2 in comparison to a non-targeting siRNA. In response to PAX2-represssion, 3142 transcripts were differentially expressed (1334 up-regulated and 1808 down-regulated). Novel PAX2 targets included multiple genes encoding proteins with a predicted function in the epididymis epithelium. mRNA profile of control and PAX2 knockdown REP cells

Single-cell RNA-seq analysis of human pancreas from healthy individuals and type 2 diabetes patients

Project description:We used single-cell RNA-sequencing to generate transcriptional profiles of endocrine and exocrine cell types of the human pancreas. Pancreatic tissue and islets were obtained from six healthy and four T2D cadaveric donors. Islets were cultured and dissociated into single-cell suspension. Viable individual cells were distributed via fluorescence-activated cell sorted (FACS) into 384-well plates containing lysis buffer. Single-cell cDNA libraries were generated using the Smart-seq2 protocol. Gene expression was quantified as reads per kilobase transcript and per million mapped reads (RPKM) using rpkmforgenes. Bioinformatics analysis was used to classify cells into cell types without knowledge of cell types or prior purification of cell populations. We revealed subpopulations in endocrine and exocrine cell types, identified genes with interesting correlations to body mass index (BMI) in specific cell types and found transcriptional alterations in T2D. Complementary whole-islet RNA-seq data have also been deposited at ArrayExpress under accession number E-MTAB-5060 (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-5060).

MicroRNA expression profiling of human pancreatic islets reveals microRNAs with altered expression due to glyceamic status

Project description:Global microRNA (miRNA) profiling was performed in 18 human islet donors using Exiqon’s LNA (locked nucleic acid)-based array platform. Donors were divided into three groups according to their HbA1c levels and type-2 diabetes diagnosis (normal glucose tolerance - NGT, impaired glucose tolerance - IGT, diagnosed with type-2 diabetes-T2D). To identify miRNAs with altered expression due to glyceamic status, donors were matched for age, gender and BMI and differential expression analysis was performed in 7 NGT vs 7 IGT/T2D donors using Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) based on False Discovery Rate (FDR) statistics.
