Understanding human fetal pancreas development using subpopulation sorting and RNA sequencing

ABSTRACT: To decipher the populations of cells present in the human fetal pancreas and their lineage relationships, we developed strategies to isolate pancreatic progenitors, endocrine progenitors and endocrine cells. Transcriptome analysis of the individual populationsrevealed a large degree of conservation among vertebrates in the drivers of gene expression changes occurring at different steps of differentiation, althoughnotably, sometimes, different members of the same gene family are expressed. The transcriptome analysis establishes a resource to identify novel genes and pathways involved in human pancreas development. Single cell profiling further captured intermediate stages ofdifferentiation and enabled us to decipher the sequence of transcriptional events occurring during human endocrine differentiation. Furthermore, we evaluate how well individual pancreatic cells derived in vitro from human pluripotent stem cells mirror the natural processoccurring in human fetuses. This comparison uncovers a few differences at the progenitor steps, a convergence at the steps of endocrine induction and the current inability to fully resolve endocrine cell subtypes in vitro.

Dynamics of Genomic H3K27me3 Domains and Role of EZH2 during Pancreatic Endocrine Specification

Project description:Endoderm cells undergo a sequence of fate choices to generate insulin-secreting M-NM-2 cells. Studies of chromatin transitions during this process have been limited to the pancreatic progenitor stage that can be reconstituted from stem cells in vitro, with a gap in understanding the induction of endocrine cells. To address this, we established conditions for isolating endoderm cells, pancreatic progenitors, and endocrine cells from different staged embryos and performed genome wide analysis of the H3K27me3 mark of the repressive Polycomb complex. During the transition from endoderm to pancreas progenitors and during the transition from pancreas progenitors to endocrine cells, genes that lose the H3K27me3 mark typically encode transcriptional regulators, whereas genes that acquire the mark typically are involved in cell biology morphogenesis. Precocious depletion of the EZH2, a H3K27 methylase, at the pancreas progenitor stage enhanced the production of endocrine cells, leading to a later increase in pancreatic beta cells. Similarly, pharmacologic inhibition of EZH2 in embryonic pancreatic tissue explants and human embryonic stem cell cultures led to an increase in endocrine progenitors in vitro. These findings reveal a repeating target gene pattern in H3K27me3 dynamics and provide a means to modulate M-NM-2 cell development from stem cells. Analyzed five FACS-sorted tissues in early mouse embryo; for each tissue we sequenced H3K27me3 and input; no replicates

Dynamics of Genomic H3K27me3 Domains and Role of EZH2 during Pancreatic Endocrine Specification

A transcriptional and open chromatin landscape and the role of ONECUT1 in human pancreas differentiation [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Pancreatic differentiation and specification of lineages is a tightly controlled process involving a interconnected network of transcriptional regulation. Although more knowledge on human pancreatic development is accumulating, the precise role of many transcription factors is only described in mouse. Therefore, it is of great interest to expand our knowledge using alternative model systems such as pancreatic in vitro differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells. Here, we provide stage-specific data from RNA-, ChIP-, and ATAC-sequencing to dissect transcriptional and regulatory mechanisms during pancreatic development. Transcriptome and open chromatin maps of pancreas differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells provide a stage-specific pattern of known pancreas transcription factors and determine ONECUT1 as a crucial regulator in pancreas progenitors. Moreover, our data suggest that ONECUT1 is also involved in preparing pancreatic progenitors for later endocrine specification.Our approach of dissecting the transcriptional and regulatory mechanisms revealed an important role for the specific key player ONECUT1 and will help to better understand human development and disease.

Transcription profiling of cells from four developmental stages of human endocrine pancreas to define genetic pathways that regulate endocrine pancreatic development

Project description:To define genetic pathways that regulate development of the endocrine pancreas, we generated transcriptional profiles of enriched cells isolated from four biologically significant stages of endocrine pancreas development: endoderm before pancreas specification, early pancreatic progenitor cells, endocrine progenitor cells and adult islets of Langerhans. These analyses implicate new signaling pathways in endocrine pancreas development, and identified sets of known and novel genes that are temporally regulated, as well as genes that spatially define developing endocrine cells from their neighbors. The differential expression of several genes from each time point was verified by RT-PCR and in situ hybridization. Moreover, we present preliminary functional evidence suggesting that one transcription factor encoding gene (Myt1), which was identified in our screen, is expressed in endocrine progenitors and may regulate alpha, beta and delta cell development. In addition to identifying new genes that regulate endocrine cell fate, this global gene expression analysis has uncovered informative biological trends that occur during endocrine differentiation.

Expression data of Sox9+ and Ngn3+ mouse pancreas cells at different stages of development

Project description:Genes specific to Sox9+ pancreatic progenitors were identified by comparing the gene expression in embryonic and adult Sox9+ cells. We used microarray analysis to detail the global changes in gene expression as Sox9 positive embryonic pancreatic progenitors differentiatiate into adult ductal cells or the endocrine lineage. GFP positive cells from Sox9-EGFP mouse pancreas were isolated by FACS at different stages of development (e10.5, e15.5, and p23) for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays. To obtain populations highly enriched in Sox9 expression, we collected only GFP Hi populations for analysis. To identify gene expression changes specific to the differentiation of progenitors to ductal cells or endocrine cells, we also isolated and analyzed the gene expression profile of GFP negative cells isolated at p23, as well as GFP positive cells isolated from Ngn3-EGFP mouse pancreas at e15.5. These two populations allow the identification of genes whose expression is associated with the newly differentiated endocrine progeny in the embryo (Ngn3-GFP positive) and adult acinar and endocrine cells at p23.

Retinoic acid signaling within pancreatic endocrine progenitors regulates mouse and human pancreatic islet cell specification

Project description:Retinoic acid (RA) signaling is essential for multiple developmental processes, including appropriate pancreas formation from the foregut endoderm. RA is also required to generate pancreatic progenitors from human pluripotent stem cells. However, the role of RA during the later stages of pancreas development is not well understood. In this study, we generated an inducible system to block RA signaling and demonstrate that disruption of the RA pathway within the Neurog3-expressing endocrine progenitor population is required for appropriate mouse b cell differentiation and repression of critical d cell genes, including Somatostatin. In addition, inhibition of the RA pathway in hESC-derived pancreatic progenitors downstream of NEUROG3 induction impairs INSULIN expression. We further determined that RA-regulation of endocrine cell differentiation is mediated through Wnt pathway components. Together, these data demonstrate the importance of RA signaling in endocrine specification and identify conserved mechanisms by which RA signaling directs endocrine cell fate.
