ENTPD3 Marks Mature Stem Cell Derived Beta Cells Formed by Self-Aggregation in Vitro

ABSTRACT: Stem cell derived beta-like cells (sBC) carry the promise of providing an abundant source of insulin-producing cells for use in cell replacement therapy for patients with diabetes, potentially allowing widespread implementation of a practical cure. To achieve their clinical promise, sBC need to function comparably to mature adult beta cells, but as yet they display varying degrees of maturity. Indeed, detailed knowledge of the events resulting in human beta cell maturation remains obscure. Here we show that sBC spontaneously self-enrich into discreet islet-like cap structures within in vitro cultures, independent of exogenous maturation conditions. Multiple complementary assays demonstrate that this process is accompanied by functional maturation of the selfenriched sBC (seBC); however, the seBC still contain distinct subpopulations displaying different maturation levels. Interestingly, the surface protein ENTPD3 (also known as nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-3 (NDPTase3)) is a specific marker of the most mature seBC population and can be used for mature seBC identification and sorting. Our results illuminate critical aspects of in vitro sBC maturation and provide important insights towards developing functionally mature sBC for diabetes cell replacement therapy.

A method for the generation of human stem cell-derived alpha cells

Project description:The generation of pancreatic cell types from renewable cell sources holds promise for cell replacement therapies for diabetes. Although most effort has focused on generating pancreatic beta cells, there is considerable evidence that glucagon secreting alpha cells are critically involved in disease progression and proper glucose control. Here we report on the generation of stem cell-derived human pancreatic alpha (SC-alpha) cells from pluripotent stem cells via a transient pre-alpha cell intermediate. These pre-alpha cells exhibit a transcriptional profile similar to mature alpha cells and although they produce proinsulin protein, they do not secrete significant amounts of processed insulin. The resulting SC-alpha cells do not express insulin, share an ultrastructure similar to cadaveric alpha cells, express and secrete glucagon in response to glucose and some glucagon secretagogues, and elevate blood glucose upon transplantation in mice.

Identification of proliferative and mature β-cells in the islet of Langerhans

Project description:Insulin-dependent diabetes is a complex multifactorial disorder characterized by loss or dysfunction of β-cells. Pancreatic β-cells differ in size, glucose responsiveness, insulin secretion and precursor cell potential, thus understanding the mechanisms underlying this functional heterogeneity might allow novel regenerative approaches. Here we discovered Flattop (Fltp) as a biomarker that distinguishes proliferative from mature β-cell subpopulations with distinct molecular, physiological and ultrastructural features. Genetic lineage tracing revealed that these β-cell subpopulations react differentially to environmental changes. Upon insulin resistance Fltp- β-cells undergo compensatory proliferation, whereas Fltp-lineage+ β-cells account for islet cell hypertrophy commonly associated with cytotoxic stress. The expression of the Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) effector gene Fltp increases when naïve β-cells cluster together to form polarized and mature three-dimensional (3D) islet mini-organs. We show that 3D architecture and Wnt/PCP ligands are sufficient to trigger mouse and human β-cell maturation. Finally, we show that Fltp is not necessary for β-cell development, proliferation, or maturation, but is required for proper glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in mature β-cells. We conclude that 3D architecture and Wnt/PCP signaling underlie functional β-cell heterogeneity and induce β-cell maturation. The identification of Fltp as a biomarker for mature β-cells establish novel molecular underpinnings of β-cells and enable targeting of subpopulations for the regeneration of functional β-cell mass in diabetic patients.

Single cell transcriptomics of human islet ontogeny defines the molecular basis of beta cell dedifferentiation in T2D

Project description:Dedifferentiation of pancreatic beta cells may reduce islet function in type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the prevalence, plasticity and functional consequences of this cellular state remain unknown. We employed single-cell RNAseq to detail the maturation program of alpha and beta cells during human ontogeny. We show that although both alpha and beta cells mature in part by repressing non-endocrine genes, alpha-cells retain hallmarks of an immature state, while beta-cells attain a full beta-cell specific gene expression program. In islets from T2D donors, both alpha- and beta-cells return to a less mature expression profile, de-repressing the juvenile genetic program and exocrine genes while increasing expression of exocytosis, inflammation and stress response signaling pathways. These changes support the increased proportion of beta-cells displaying suboptimal function observed in T2D islets. These findings provide new insights into the molecular program underlying islet cell maturation during human ontogeny and the loss of transcriptomic maturity that occurs in islets of type 2 diabetics.

Deciphering protective mechanism against human type 2 diabetes through in vitro β cell differentiation

Project description:To systemically investigate the role of ZnT8 in β cell maturation, we performed single cell RNA-seq in both WT and KO β cells at both S6 (immature) and S7 (mature) stages. Both WT and KO β cells were obtained from FACS as positive for both INS and NKX6.1. Single cell RNA-seq results revealed that SLC30A8 is mainly involved in β cell maturation process, and further showed that SLC30A8 LOF accelerates β cell maturation and upregulates insulin secretion pathway in mature β cells.

The Anna Karenina model of β cell maturation in development and their dedifferentiation in type 1 and type 2 diabetes

Project description:Loss of mature β cell function and identity, or β cell dedifferentiation, is seen in all types of diabetes mellitus. Two competing models explain β cell dedifferentiation in diabetes. In the first model, β cells dedifferentiate in the reverse order of their developmental ontogeny. This model predicts that dedifferentiated β cells resemble β cell progenitors. In the second model, β cell dedifferentiation depends on the type of diabetogenic stress. This model, which we call the “Anna Karenina” model, predicts that in each type of diabetes, β cells dedifferentiate in their own way, depending on how their mature identity is disrupted by any particular diabetogenic stress. We directly tested the two models using a β cell-specific lineage-tracing system coupled with RNA-sequencing in mice. We constructed a multidimensional map of β cell transcriptional trajectories during the normal course of β cell postnatal development, and during their dedifferentiation in models of both type 1 diabetes (NOD) and type 2 diabetes (BTBR-Lepob/ob). Using this unbiased approach, we show here that despite some similarities between immature and dedifferentiated β cells, β cells dedifferentiation in the two mouse models is not a reversal of developmental ontogeny and is different between different types of diabetes.

Transcriptional profiling of pancreatic beta cells during maturation and with function-inactivating mutations

Project description:Islet β-cells from newborn mammals need a maturation process to become mature functional beta cells. The detailed molecular mechanisms were not completely understood. This study was designed to reveal the dynamic gene expression changes during pancreatic beta-cell maturation in postnatal mice. We also want to understand how genetic mutations that impair beta-cell function change the genetic networks involved in the beta-cell maturation process. For these aims, pancreatic beta cells were isolated at P1 islets based on the expression of a MipeGFP transgene in a genetic background with pancreatic specific inactivation of Myt1, Myt1L, and St18 (denoted as MytDelpanc; MipeGFP).

Prox1 downregulation is a prerequisite for the maturation and expansion of postnatal murine beta cells

Project description:Alterations in the expression of key transcription factors can be harmful for pancreatic beta cell homeostasis and could lead to diabetes. This study uncovered that Prox1 overexpression obstructs beta cell maturation and results in severe hyperglycemia. The function of Î²-cells is key for glucose homeostasis because they supply insulin to the entire body. Genetic or metabolic conditions that disrupt the complex physiology of Î²-cells can lead to diabetes mellitus, a prevalent life-threatening disease. Here we investigated whether sustained Prox1 expression is incompatible with Î²-cell development using a transgenic mouse approach, and report that Î²-cell maturation is drastically impaired in the presence of high levels of Prox1. We used microarrays to identify gene expression profiles and pathways that are differentially activated when Prox1 is overexpressed in murine pancreatic beta cells.

in vivo environment swiftly restricts human pancreatic progenitors towards monohormonal identity via a HNF1A/HNF4A mechanism

Project description:Generating insulin-producing β-cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells is a promising cell replacement therapy aimed at improving or curing certain forms of diabetes. Nevertheless, despite important recent advances, the efficient production of functionally mature β-cells is yet to be achieved, with most current differentiation protocols generating a heterogeneous population comprising of subpopulation of cells expressing different islet hormones, including hybrid polyhormonal entities. A solution to this issue is transplanting end-stages differentiating cells into living hosts, which was demonstrated to majorly improve β-cell maturation. Yet, to date, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the transplanted cells response to the in vivo environment exposure was not yet properly characterized. Here we use global proteomics and large-scale imaging techniques aimed at demultiplexing and filtering cellular processes and molecular signatures modulated by the immediate in vivo effect. We show that in vivo exposure swiftly confines in vitro generated human pancreatic progenitors to single hormone expression. The global proteome landscape of the transplanted cells was closer to the one presented by native human islets, especially in regard to energy metabolism and redox balance. Moreover our study indicates a possible link between these processed and certain epigenetic regulators involved in maintenance and propagation of the islet cells identity. Pathway analysis predicted HNF1A and HNF4A as key regulators controlling the in vivo islet-promoting response, with experimental evidence confirming their involvement in confining islet cell identity. To our knowledge this is the first study demultiplexing the immediate response of the transplanted pancreatic progenitors to in vivo exposure.
