Transcriptome analyses of human pancreatic islets and pseudoislets

ABSTRACT: We have observed an improvement of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion upon the formation of pseudoislets. Transcriptome analyses of islets and pseudoislets from the same human donor were performed to determine the functional improvement. We identified 38844 transcripts and revealed that unlike islets, pseudoislets were deprived of exocrine and endothelial cells. In addition, the mRNA levels of proteins related to apoptosis and inflammation as well as the components of extracellular matrix were less abundant in pseudoislets.

Age-associated DNA methylation increases in mouse pancreatic islets suggest an epigenetic drift toward the exocrine pancreas epigenome

Project description:Early postnatal overnutrition causes persistent dysregulation of endocrine pancreas function. We used genome-scale DNA methylation profiling in the suckling-period small litter (SL) mouse model to test whether this occurs via persistent epigenetic changes in pancreatic islets. Although SL islets showed DNA methylation changes directly after weaning and in adulthood, few of these were present at both ages, contrary to our hypothesis. Most interestingly, we discovered that genomic regions that are hypermethylated in exocrine relative to endocrine pancreas tend to gain methylation in islets during aging. Focusing on a subset of genes relevant to β cell function, we showed that these methylation differences are strongly correlated with expression. Together, our results provide the novel insight that DNA methylation changes that occur as islets age indicate an overall epigenetic drift toward the exocrine pancreas epigenome. These concerted shifts in the islet methylome could contribute to the age-associated decline in endocrine pancreas function. Pancreatic islets were isolated from P21/P180 SL or C mice. To ensure purity of islets, 3 rounds of manual picking were performed in each samples. Whole pancreas samples, ~98% of which is exocrine pancreas, were used as exocrine pancreas. There are 5 mice per group.

Expression profile of GATA6 deficient pancreatic islets

Project description:GATA6 mutations have been linked to adult-onset diabetes with subclinical or no exocrine insufficiency suggesting an important role for GATA6 in humanβcell physiology. To investigate the role of GATA6 in adult endocrine pancreas, we generated mice in which Gata6 is specifically inactivated in the pancreas. These mice develop glucose intolerance. Islets deficient in GATA6 activity display decreased insulin content and impaired glucose-induced insulin secretion. Gata6-deficient ß cells exhibit ultrastructural abnormalities including increased immature insulin granules, swollen mitochondria and disorganized endoplasmic reticulum. Microarray analysis revealed that loss of GATA6 greatly impacts ß cell specific gene expression.

Human Pancreatic Islets Expressing HNF1A Variant Have Defective β cell Transcriptional Regulatory Networks

Project description:Using an integrated approach to characterize the pancreatic tissue and isolated islets from a 33-year-old with 17 years of type 1 diabetes (T1D), we found donor islets contained β cells without insulitis and lacked glucose-stimulated insulin secretion despite a normal insulin response to cAMP-evoked stimulation. With these unexpected findings for T1D, we sequenced the donor DNA and found a pathogenic heterozygous variant in hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha (HNF1A). In one of the first studies of human pancreatic islets with a disease-causing HNF1A variant associated with the most common form of monogenic diabetes, we found that HNF1A dysfunction leads to insulin-insufficient diabetes reminiscent of T1D by impacting the regulatory processes critical for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and suggest a rationale for a therapeutic alternative to current treatment.

Proteomic profiles of Rat Pancreatic Islets

Project description:In this study, we achieved integrated transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of GK islets in a time-course fashion at different stages of T2D. Subsequent bioinformatics analysis revealed the chronological order of T2D-related molecular events during the deterioration of pancreatic islets. Our large quantitative dataset provide a valuable resource to obtain a comprehensive picture of the mechanisms responsible for islet dysfunction and to identify potential interventions to prevent beta-cell failure in human T2D.

Epigenomic plasticity enables human pancreatic alpha to beta cell reprogramming

Project description:Insulin-secreting β cells and glucagon-secreting α cells maintain physiological blood glucose levels, and their malfunction drives diabetes development. Using ChIP sequencing and RNA sequencing analysis, we determined the epigenetic and transcriptional landscape of human pancreatic α, β, and exocrine cells. We found that, compared with exocrine and β cells, differentiated α cells exhibited many more genes bivalently marked by the activating H3K4me3 and repressing H3K27me3 histone modifications. This was particularly true for β cell signature genes involved in transcriptional regulation. Remarkably, thousands of these genes were in a monovalent state in β cells, carrying only the activating or repressing mark. Our epigenomic findings suggested that α to β cell reprogramming could be promoted by manipulating the histone methylation signature of human pancreatic islets. Indeed, we show that treatment of cultured pancreatic islets with a histone methyltransferase inhibitor leads to colocalization of both glucagon and insulin and glucagon and insulin promoter factor 1 (PDX1) in human islets and colocalization of both glucagon and insulin in mouse islets. Thus, mammalian pancreatic islet cells display cell-type–specific epigenomic plasticity, suggesting that epigenomic manipulation could provide a path to cell reprogramming and novel cell replacement-based therapies for diabetes. Pancreatic islets were collected post-mortem from 6 human donors and subjected to FACS to separate populations of alpha, beta, and exocrine cells. Depending on the availability of resulting material, sorted islet cell populations were used for H3K4me3, H3K27me3 ChIP-seq, or RNA-seq analysis. All ChIP-seq samples have a corresponding input from the same sample.

Exendin-4 treatment of Pancreatic Islets

Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Exendin-4 on isolated pancreatic islets allowing for the elucidation of the various transcriptional programs initiated by this multifunctional peptide hormone. Islets were treated with Exendin-4 for 30 and 180 minutes. After these time points, RNA was isolated and used for hybridization against matched control islets using the Mouse PancChip 6.
