RNA-seq Analysis of Pancreatic Epithelium and Mesenchyme from Wild Type and Pbx-mutant Embryos

ABSTRACT: The surrounding microenvironment plays a crucial role in pancreas formation and differentiation. Nevertheless, its cellular composition has not been analyzed in depth and whether different cell populations exist within the mesenchyme of the developing pancreas is an open question. Similarly, the molecular mechanisms by which the mesenchyme coordinates and integrates various signaling pathways to stimulate epithelial pancreatic progenitor proliferation and differentiation remain elusive. Here, we investigate the cell composition and molecular network in the pancreatic mesenchyme, which promote pancreas differentiation. Whole transcriptome analysis and functional experiments showed that PBX in the mesenchyme promotes endocrine differentiation non-cell autonomously, acting at two different levels in the epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk: 1) the maintenance of BM integrity and ECM and 2) regulation of soluble molecules, including guidance cues. In conclusion, this study has identified distinct pancreatic mesenchymal niches and dissected their different roles during pancreatic development. This knowledge will be useful to improve current differentiation strategies based on ECM and soluble factors to generate β-cell equivalents from pluripotent cells for future cell replacement therapies of diabetes.

In depth quantification of extracellular matrix proteins from human pancreas

Project description:Extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important component of the pancreatic microenvironment which regulates β cell proliferation, differentiation and insulin secretion. Protocols have recently been developed for the decellularization of the human pancreas to generate functional scaffolds and hydrogels. In this work, we characterized human pancreatic ECM composition before and after decellularization using isobaric dimethylated leucine (DiLeu) labeling for relative quantification of ECM proteins. A novel correction factor was employed in the study to eliminate the bias introduced during sample preparation. In comparison to the commonly employed proteomic approaches (urea and FASP), a recently developed surfactant and chaotropic agent assisted sequential extraction/on pellet digestion (SCAD) protocol was proven to be a superior strategy for ECM protein extraction of human pancreatic ECM matrix. The quantitative proteomic results revealed the preservation of matrisome proteins while most of the cellular proteins were removed. This method was compared with a well-established label-free quantification (LFQ) approach which rendered similar expressions of different categories of proteins (collagens, ECM glycoproteins, proteoglycans, etc.). The distinct expression of ECM proteins was quantified comparing adult and fetal pancreas ECM, shedding light on the correlation between matrix composition and post-natal β cell maturation. Despite the distinct profiles of different subcategories in the native pancreas, the distribution of matrisome protein exhibited similar trends after the decellularization process. Our method generates the largest dataset of matrisome proteins from a single tissue type. These results provide valuable insight into the possibilities of constructing a bioengineered pancreas. It also facilitates an understanding of the significant roles that matrisome proteins play in post-natal cell maturation.

In-depth analysis of the pancreatic extracellular matrix during development for next generation tissue engineering

Project description:The pancreas is a complex organ consisting of differentiated cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), which together enable its functions, including exocrine secretion and hormone production. Alt-hough much is known about the intrinsic factors that control pancreas development, under-standing of the microenvironment surrounding pancreatic cells remains incomplete. This envi-ronment is composed of various cells and ECM components, which play a critical role in main-taining tissue organization and homeostasis. In this study, we applied mass spectrometry to identify and quantify the ECM composition of the developing pancreas at embryonic E14.5 and perinatal P1 stages. Our proteomic analysis identified 160 ECM proteins that displayed a dynamic expression profile with a shift in collagens and proteoglycans. Furthermore, we used atomic force microscopy to measure the biomechanical properties of the ECM and found that the whole pan-creas ECM is relatively soft with no significant change during pancreas maturation. Finally, we developed a decellularization protocol for P1 pancreatic tissues, which preserved the 3D organi-zation of the ECM and can be used for recellularization studies. Our findings provide insights into the composition and biomechanics of the pancreatic embryonic and perinatal ECM, offering a foundation for future studies investigating the dynamic interactions between the ECM and pan-creatic cells.

Mesenchymal Igf2 is a major regulator of pancreatic growth and function

Project description:The genetic mechanisms that determine the size of the adult pancreas are not fully understood. Here we address the importance of the imprinted Igf2 gene for growth and function of the mouse pancreas. We used reporter lines to monitor Igf2 levels during late fetal and postnatal pancreatic development and demonstrate that Igf2 is mostly expressed within the mesenchyme. We manipulated Igf2 levels in vivo in the major pancreas cell types using Cre lines and found that loss of Igf2 from the developing mesenchyme results in pancreatic hypoplasia, associated with loss of acinar and beta-cell mass, postnatal whole-body growth restriction and maternal glucose intolerance during pregnancy. Overexpression of Igf2 directed to the mesenchyme results in pancreatic overgrowth. Importantly, deletion of Igf2 from the developing epithelium has no growth effects. Our findings demonstrate that a major role for Igf2 is the regulation of pancreas size, and reveal an unforeseen key function for mesenchymal IGF signalling in pancreatic growth.

SUFU and SPOP mediated downregulation of Hh signaling promotes pancreatic beta-cell differentiation through the regulation of organ-specific stromal niche signals

Project description:Purpose: Human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC)-derived insulin-producing beta cells offer a promising cell-based therapy for diabetes. However, efficient hESC to beta cell differentiation has proven difficult, possibly due to the lack of cross-talk with the appropriate mesenchymal niche. To define organ-specific niche signals, we isolated pancreatic and gastrointestinal stromal cells and analyzed their transcriptomes during development. Methods: mRNA profiles from E13.5 mice were generated from mesenchymal cells dissected from wild-type (WT) intestine, stomach, pancreas and mutant Sufu-/- Spop -/- pancreatic mesenchyme, in duplicate, by illumina HiSeq 2500. Reads were aligned to the mm10 assembly and unambiguously mapping reads were analyzed at the gene level for differential expression between tissue types alignment using STAR and differential analysis using DESeq2. Results: Using our workflow, we mapped about 30 million reads per sample to mm10. Differential expression (DE) analysis identified over 900 significantly differentially expressed genes between WT pancreatic mesenchyme and gastrointestinal mesenchymes, and over 1100 genes differentially expressed between WT and mutant pancreatic mesenchyme. Our findings reveal the importance of tightly-regulated Hh signaling in the pancreatic mesenchyme. In vivo inactivation of mesenchymal Hh signaling leads to annular pancreas, and stroma-specific activation of Hh signaling via loss of Hh regulators, Sufu and Spop, impairs pancreatic growth and beta cell genesis. Genetic rescue and transcriptome analyses show that these Sufu and Spop knockout defects occur through GLI2-mediated activation of gastrointestinal stromal signals such as Wnt ligands. Importantly, inhibition of Wnt signaling in organoid and hESC cultures significantly promotes insulin-producing cell generation, revealing the requirement for organ-specific regulation of stromal niche signals.

Benary2021 - tissue dynamics of the hepato-pancreato-biliary organ system

Project description:Single cell-based studies have revealed tremendous cellular heterogeneity in stem cell and progenitor compartments, suggesting continuous differentiation trajectories with intermixing of cells at various states of lineage commitment and notable degree of plasticity during organogenesis. The hepato-pancreato-biliary organ system relies on a small endoderm progenitor compartment that gives rise to a variety of different adult tissues, including liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and extra-hepatic bile ducts. Experimental manipulation of various developmental signals in the mouse embryo underscored important cellular plasticity in this embryonic territory. This is also reflected in the existence of human genetic syndromes as well as congenital or environmentally-caused human malformations featuring multiorgan phenotypes in liver, pancreas and gallbladder. Nevertheless, the precise lineage hierarchy and succession of events leading to the segregation of an endoderm progenitor compartment into hepatic, biliary, and pancreatic structures are not yet established. Here, we combine computational modelling approaches with genetic lineage tracing to assess the tissue dynamics accompanying the ontogeny of the hepato-pancreato-biliary organ system. We show that a multipotent progenitor domain persists at the border between liver and pancreas, even after pancreatic fate is specified, contributing to the formation of several organ derivatives, including the liver. Moreover, using single-cell RNA sequencing we define a specialized niche that possibly supports such extended cell fate plasticity.

Recapitulation of Human Neural Microenvironment Signatures in iPSC-Derived NPC 3D Differentiation

Project description:Brain microenvironment plays an important role in neurodevelopment and function, where extracellular matrix (ECM) components and soluble factors modulate cellular features, as migration, proliferation survival and neuronal function. Disruption of microenvironment’s homeostasis is often related to pathological conditions. Here, we addressed the microenvironment remodeling occurring during in vitro differentiation of human neural stem cells (NSC) in a three-dimensional (3D) culture system. Proteome and transcriptome dynamics revealed significant changes namely at cell membrane and ECM composition during 3D differentiation, diverging significantly from the profile of monolayer cultures (2D). Structural proteoglycans typically found in brain ECM were enriched during 3D differentiation, while 2D cultures presented increased levels of basement membrane constituents (e.g., laminins, collagens and fibrillins). Moreover, higher expression levels of synaptic machinery and ion transport machinery constituents observed for 3D cultures, both at mRNA and protein levels, suggested a higher degree of neuronal maturation and organization relative to 2D differentiation. This work demonstrated that neural cellular and extracellular features can be recapitulated in the presented 3D neural cell model, highlighting its value to address molecular defects in cell-ECM interactions associated with neurological disorders.

Transcriptome regulating differentiation from the early human embryonic distal foregut

Project description:To interrogate the alternative fates of pancreas and liver in the earliest stages of human organogenesis, we developed laser capture, RNA amplification, and computational analysis of deep sequencing. Pancreas-enriched gene expression was less conserved between human and mouse than for liver. The dorsal pancreatic bud was enriched for components of Notch, Wnt, BMP, and FGF signaling, almost all genes known to cause pancreatic agenesis or hypoplasia, and over 30 unexplored transcription factors. SOX9 and RORA were imputed as key regulators in pancreas compared with EP300, HNF4A, and FOXA family members in liver. Analyses implied that current in vitro human stem cell differentiation follows a dorsal rather than a ventral pancreatic program and pointed to additional factors for hepatic differentiation. In summary, we provide the transcriptional codes regulating the start of human liver and pancreas development to facilitate stem cell research and clinical interpretation without inter-species extrapolation.

Transcription profiling of Xenopus Dorsal Ventral Pancreatic Bud Comparison

Project description:During embryogenesis, the pancreas develops from separate dorsal and ventral buds, which fuse to form the mature pancreas. Little is known about the functional differences between these two buds or the relative contribution of cells derived from each portion to the pancreas after fusion. To follow the fate of dorsal or ventral bud derived cells in the pancreas after fusion, we produced chimeric Elas-GFP transgenic/wild type embryos in which either dorsal or ventral pancreatic bud cells expressed GFP. We found that ventral pancreatic cells migrate extensively into the dorsal pancreas after fusion, whereas the converse does not occur. Moreover, we found that annular pancreatic tissue is composed exclusively of ventral pancreas derived cells. To identify ventral pancreas specific genes that may play a role in pancreatic bud fusion, we isolated individual dorsal and ventral pancreatic buds, prior to fusion, from stage 38/39 Xenopus laevis tadpoles and compared their gene expression profiles. Morpholino-mediated knockdown of one of these ventral specific genes, transmembrane 4 superfamily member 3 (tm4sf3), inhibited dorsal-ventral pancreatic bud fusion as well as acinar cell differentiation. Conversely, overexpression of tm4sf3 promoted the development of annular pancreas. Our results are the first to define molecular and behavioral differences between the dorsal and ventral pancreas, and suggest an unexpected role for the ventral pancreas in pancreatic bud fusion. Experiment Overall Design: We analyzed two samples of dorsal and two samples of ventral pancreatic buds.

FOXL1+ TELOCYTES IN MOUSE COLON ORCHESTRATE ECM BIODYNAMICS AND WOUND REPAIR RESOLUTION

Project description:Recent studies identified FoxL1+-Telocytes (TCFoxL1+) as key players in gut epithelial-mesenchymal interactions impacting the microenvironment. Disruption of BMP-signaling in TCFoxL1+ alters the physical and cellular microenvironment leading to gut pathophysiology, suggesting a role for TCFoxL1+ in stromagenesis. However, profiling studies from whole tissue can be misleading when analyzing the specific contribution of TCFoxL1+. We performed an ex vivo deconstruction of control and BmpR1a△FoxL1+ colons, isolated the mesenchyme-enriched fractions and determined the protein composition of in vivo ECM to compare the microenvironment. Matrisomic analysis of mesenchyme fractions revealed modulations in ECM proteins with functions associated to innate immunity, epithelial wound healing and collagen network. These results show that TCFoxL1+ have a critical role in orchestrating the colon ECM biodynamics. Dysfunctional TCFoxL1+ reprogram the microenvironment driving the epithelium toward pathologies. This method allows to truthfully investigate how TCFoxL1+ impacts matrix dynamics leading to a comprehensive ECM profiling in diseases.
