An HNF1A truncation associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the young impairs pancreatic progenitor differentiation by antagonising HNF1B function

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The goal of this study is to conduct and compare NGS-derived transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of progenitor lines derived from 3 HNF1A-WT and 3 HNF1A-CRISPR (with p291fsinsC mutation) human induced pluripotent stem cell lines. Methods: mRNA profiles of WT/CRISPR pancreatic progenitor cells obtained after in-vitro differentiation for 14 days were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer. The raw RNA-sequencing read files were processed using the research computing facility at King’s College London, Rosalind (https://rosalind.kcl.ac.uk). RNA-sequencing reads were trimmed from adapters using Trimmomatic/0.39 (Bolger et al., 2014) and quality control was done using FASTQC/0.11.8 (Andrews, 2010). Reads were mapped to a concatenated genome sequence of human GRCh38/hg38 using STAR/2.4.2 (Dobin and Gingeras, 2015). Transcript abundance was measured using featureCount in Subread package (Liao et al., 2013). Results: The DESeq2 package (Love et al., 2014) was used to identify differentially expressed genes. We found 919 significantly regulated genes (271 upregulated, 648 downregulated), with 16 HNF1B targets and 19 HNF1A specific targets within the significantly dysregulated genes when comparing HNF1A-CRISPR versus HNF1A-WT groups. Conclusions: HNF1A and HNF1B gene targets are disturbed by the p291fsinsC mutation engineered in the CRISPR-Cas9 lines.

Project description:CD47 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is ubiquitously expressed in different organs and tissues (Barclay and Van den Berg 2014; Liu, et al. 2017). In the human immune system, CD47 interacts with some integrins, two counter-receptor signal regulator protein (SIRP) family members, and the secreted thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) (Barclay and Van den Berg 2014; Gao, et al. 2016; Kaur, et al. 2013; Oldenborg, et al. 2000). CD47 has two established roles in the immune system. The CD47-SIRPα interaction was identified as a critical innate immune checkpoint, which delivers an antiphagocytic signal to macrophages and inhibits neutrophil cytotoxicity (Martínez- Sanz, et al. 2021). Its interaction with inhibitory SIRPα is a physiological anti-phagocytic “don’t eat me” signal on circulating red blood cells that is co-opted by cancer cells (Matlung, et al. 2017). Many malignant cells overexpress CD47 (Betancur, et al. 2017; Chao, et al. 2011; Jaiswal, et al. 2009; Majeti, et al. 2009; Oronsky, et al. 2020; Petrova, et al. 2017). CD47/SIRPα-targeted therapeutics have been developed to overcome this immune checkpoint for cancer treatment (Kaur, et al. 2020; Matlung, et al. 2017). Secondly, engagement of CD47 on T cells by TSP1 regulates their differentiation and survival (Grimbert, et al. 2006; Lamy, et al. 2007) and inhibits T cell receptor signaling and antigen presentation by dendritic cells (DCs) (Kaur, et al. 2014; Li, et al. 2002; Liu, et al. 2015; Miller, et al. 2013; Soto-Pantoja, et al. 2014; Weng, et al. 2014). TSP1/CD47 signaling has similar inhibitory functions to limit NK cell activation (Kim, et al. 2008; Nath, et al. 2018; Nath, et al. 2019; Schwartz, et al. 2019) and IL1β production by macrophages (Stein, et al. 2016). CD47 is therefore a checkpoint that regulates both innate and adaptive immunity. The recent understanding of CD47 antagonism associated with increased antigen presentation by DCs (Liu, et al. 2016) and natural killer cell cytotoxicity (Nath, et al. 2019) contributes to the heightened interest in CD47 as a therapeutic target (Kaur, et al. 2020).
