δ-cell conversion to insulin+ bihormonal cells in zebrafish

ABSTRACT: Restoring damaged b-cells in diabetic patients by harnessing the plasticity of other pancreatic cells raises the questions of the efficiency of the process and of the functionality of the new Insulin-expressing cells. To overcome the weak regenerative capacity of mammals, we used regeneration-prone zebrafish to study b-cells arising following destruction. We show that most new insulin cells differ from the original b-cells as they coexpress Somatostatin and Insulin. These bihormonal cells are abundant, functional and able to normalize glycemia. Their formation in response to b-cell destruction is fast, efficient and age-independent. Bihormonal cells are transcriptionally close to a subset of d-cells that we identified in control islets and which are characterized by the expression of somatostatin 1.1 (sst1.1) and by genes essential for glucose-induced Insulin secretion in β-cells such as pdx1, slc2a2 and gck. We observed in vivo the conversion of monohormonal sst1.1-expressing cells to sst1.1+ ins+ bihormonal cells following b-cell destruction. Our findings support the conclusion that sst1.1 d-cells possess a pro-b identity enabling them to contribute to the neogenesis of Insulin-producing cells during regeneration. This work unveils that abundant and functional bihormonal cells benefit to diabetes recovery in zebrafish.

Pancreatic Ppy-expressing gamma-cells display mixed phenotypic traits and adaptive plasticity to engage insulin production

Project description:The cellular identity of pancreatic polypeptide (Ppy)-expressing γ-cells, the rarest pancreatic islet cell-type, remains elusive. Within islets, glucagon and somatostatin, released respectively from α- and δ-cells, modulate the secretion of insulin by β-cells. Dysregulation of insulin production raises blood glucose levels, leading to diabetes onset. Here, we present the genetic signature of human and mouse γ-cells. Using newly developed tools, we identified a set of genes and pathways defining their functional identity. We found that the γ-cell population is heterogeneous, with subsets of cells producing another hormone in addition to Ppy. These bihormonal cells share identity markers typical of the other islet cell-types. In mice, Ppy gene inactivation or conditional γ-cell ablation did not alter glycemia nor body weight. Interestingly, upon β-cell injury induction, γ-cells exhibited gene expression changes and some of them engaged insulin production, like α- and δ-cells. In conclusion, we provide a comprehensive characterization of γ-cells and highlight their plasticity and therapeutic potential.

EZH2 Inhibitors Promote β-like Cell Regeneration in T1D Donor tissue

Project description:β-cells are a type of endocrine cell found in pancreatic islets that synthesize, store and release insulin. Destruction of these cells in type 1 diabetes leads to a lifelong dependence on exogenous insulin administration for survival. Here we employ RNA-seq to examine the promotion of β-like cell regeneration with EZH2 inhibition in pancreatic ductal epithelial cells and exocrine cells isolated from type 1 diabetic donor tissue.

Artemisinins target GABAA receptor signaling and impair alpha cell identity

Project description:Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the destruction of pancrea tic beta cells, and generating new insulin-producing cells from other cell types is a major aim of regenerative medicine. One promising approach is transdifferentiation of developmentally related pancreatic cell types including glucagon-producing alpha cells. In a genetic model, loss of the master regulatory transcription factor Arx is sufficient to induce the conversion of alpha cells to functional beta-like cells. Here we identify artemisinins as small molecules that functionally repress Arx by causing its translocation to the cytoplasm. We show that the protein gephyrin is the mammalian target of these antimalaria drugs, and that enhancement of GABAA receptor signaling contributes to the mechanism of action of these molecules in pancreatic transdifferentiation. Our results in zebrafish, rodents and primary human pancreatic islets indicate that gephyrin is a novel druggable target for the regeneration of pancreatic beta cell mass from alpha cells.

Characterizing dynamics and lineage of bihormonal cell in mammalian pancreatic islets [Smart-seq3xpress]

Project description:The precise roles and prevalence of bihormonal cells within pancreatic islets are not fully understood. Here, we utilized genetically engineered mouse strains with specific fluorescent markers for pancreatic endocrine cells and advanced imaging flow cytometry to investigate the presence of bihormonal cells in adult mouse islets. Our results revealed a marginal presence of such cells, contradicting the hypothesis that transdifferentiation contributes significantly to β-cell restoration in diabetic mice or during pregnancy-induced β-cell proliferation. Employing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we observed that Gcg+Ppy+ bihormonal cells closely resemble either α- or PP-cells, lacking distinct gene expression profiles. This finding suggests bihormonal cells may not represent a unique lineage but could be transitional states in cellular differentiation. Furthermore, a dual-genetic tracing approach revealed that embryonic Ins+Gcg+ cells differentiate into α-cells postnatally. By integrating gene co-expression network analysis with 10x Genomics scRNA-seq data, we established a hierarchical classification of endocrine cells in mouse and human islets, identifying distinct populations with minimal overlap in conserved genes between species. This study not only refines our understanding of bihormonal cells in islet function and development but also highlights the complexities in translating murine model findings to human applications, emphasizing the need for species-specific considerations in diabetes research and therapy development.

Understanding the role of GLUT2 in dysglycemia associated with Fanconi-Bickel syndrome (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Fanconi–Bickel Syndrome (FBS) is a rare disorder of carbohydrate metabolism that is characterized by the accumulation of glycogen mainly in the liver. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner due to mutations in the SLC2A2 gene. SLC2A2 encodes for the glucose transporter GLUT2 and is expressed in tissues that are involved in glucose homeostasis. The molecular mechanisms of dysglycemia in FBS are still not clearly understood. In this study, we report two cases of FBS with classical phenotypes of FBS associated with dysglycemia. Genomic DNA was extracted and analyzed by whole-genome and Sanger sequencing, and patient PBMCs were used for molecular analysis. One patient had an exonic SLC2A2 mutation (c.1093C > T in exon 9, R365X), while the other patient had a novel intronic SLC2A2 mutation (c.613-7T>G). Surprisingly, the exonic mutation resulted in the overexpression of dysfunctional GLUT2, resulting in the dysregulated expression of other glucose transporters. The intronic mutation did not affect the coding sequence of GLUT2, its expression, or glucose transport activity. However, it was associated with the expression of miRNAs correlated with type 1 diabetes mellitus, with a particular significant overexpression of hsa-miR-29a-3p implicated in insulin production and secretion. Our findings suggest that SLC2A2 mutations cause dysglycemia in FBS either by a direct effect on GLUT2 expression and/or activity or, indirectly, by the dysregulated expression of miRNAs implicated in glucose homeostasis.

Neuropeptides:developmental signals in placode progenitor formation

Project description:Few families of signaling factors have been implicated in the control of development. Here we identify the neuropeptides nociceptin and somatostatin, a neurotransmitter and neuroendocrine hormone, as a class of developmental signals in chick and zebrafish. We show that signals from the anterior mesendoderm are required for the formation of anterior placode progenitors with one of the signals being somatostatin. Somatostatin controls ectodermal expression of nociceptin and both peptides regulate Pax6 in lens and olfactory progenitors. Consequently, loss of somatostatin and nociceptin signaling leads to severe reduction of lens formation. Our findings not only uncover these neuropeptides as developmental signals, but also identify a long-sought-after mechanism that initiates Pax6 in placode progenitors and may explain the ancient evolutionary origin of neuropeptides, pre-dating a complex nervous system. We used progenitors for anterior and posterior sensory placodes dissected from chick embryos HH5-7; these were either processed immediately or cultured for 5 hrs to hybridise to Affymetrix chick array. We aimed to identify genes that are co regualted with Pax6, a key regulator of lens and olfactory progenitor cells. Pax6 is normally present in anterior, but not posterior placode precursors, but upregulated in both after 5 hrs culture.
