Integrin avb5 heterodimer is a specific marker of human pancreatic beta cells

ABSTRACT: The identification of cell surface markers specific to pancreatic beta cells is important for both the study of islet biology and for investigating the pathophysiology of diseases in which this cell type is lost or damaged. Following analysis of publicly available single-cell RNAseq data, we identified specific integrin subunits, integrin av and integrin b5, that were expressed in beta cells. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the vast majority of islet cells expressed some level of both the av and b5 subunits. Using our analysis of single-cell sequencing data as a guide, we isolated populations expressing both subunits from isolated human islets and subjected these to bulk RNAseq analysis. This analysis suggested that the avlob5lo population was enriched for endocrine cell types including alpha, delta and gamma cells, whilst the avhib5hi population was enriched for pericytes and stellate cells . Interestingly, the av+b5neg reference population appeared to be enriched for myeloid cells. This finding was further elaborated using immunofluorescence analysis of histological sections derived from donor human pancreas. Despite the broad expression of specific integrin subunits, we found that expression of integrin avb5 heterodimers was restricted to beta cells and that this complex persisted in islet remnants of some type 1 diabetic individuals from which insulin expression had been lost. This study identifies avb5 heterodimers as a novel cell surface marker of human pancreatic beta cells, a finding that will aid in the identification and characterisation of this important cell type.

Cre-mediated deletion of b1 integrin in pancreatic b-cells

Project description:In this study, we investigated the function of beta integrins in developing islet beta-cells by targeting the deletion of exon 3 of the B1 integrin gene using a Cre-lox approach.

The role of aV Integrin in regulating macrophage phenotype and function during cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction

Project description:Macrophages infiltrate the infarcted heart and play a critical role in repair, remodeling and fibrosis. Macrophages sense changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) environment through Integrins, thus activating signaling pathways that regulate their function. Our data show that av integrin is highly expressed in isolated bone marrow macrophages and is markedly upregulated in response to TGF-β, a growth factor known to be activated in the infarcted heart. Accordingly, we hypothesize that aV integrin induction in infarct macrophages may regulate macrophage phenotype, function and response to key macrophage-activating signals following MI.

The role of Itgb1 in islet development

Project description:Pancreatic development requires appropriate environmental cues, in which ECM-Integrin signaling plays a central role in the process. Specifically, we investigated how ECM-Integrin signaling in Ngn3+ cell (endocrine progenitors) regulates islet architecture and functions. Here we showed disruption of ECM-Integrin signaling affects beta cell functional maturation and potential non-autonomous regulation around islets.

Integrin a5, aV, and aVb3 in zebrafish embryos at the 12 somite stage

Project description:Integrins are a major class of heterodimeric adhesion receptors composed of an a and b subunit that mediate cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM). The extracellular matrix protein fibronectin is important for early vertebrate development, and Integrin a5b1 and aVb3 are the two primary fibronectin receptors. To better define the integrin – ECM protein network at 10-13 somite stage of zebrafish development, we performed co-immunoprecipitation and Mass Spectrometry (MS) based proteomics using FLAG-tagged Integrin a5, aV, and aVb3 expressed in maternal zygotic a5 mutant (MZa5-/-) embryos. We found that Integrin a5b1 and aVb1 are the functional fibronectin receptors, whereas Integrin aVb3 displayed low affinity to both fibronectins (Fn1a and Fn1b). In addition, basement membrane ligands Laminins (lama1, lamb1a, lamc1) are roughly equal in all three datasets while Thrombospondins (thbs3b, thbs4b) and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (comp/thbs5) are found exclusively in the aV dataset. Our results suggest a diverse role of aV class integrins in ECM protein recruitment.

Single-cell transcriptomic analyses of pancreatic islets reveals islet cell-type-specific adaptations to pregnancy and the postpartum

Project description:Pancreatic β-cell mass expands during pregnancy and regresses in the postpartum period in conjunction with dynamic metabolic demands on maternal glucose homeostasis. To understand transcriptional changes driving these adaptations in β-cells and other islet cell types, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on islets from virgin, late gestation, and early postpartum mice. We identified transcriptional signatures unique to gestation and the postpartum in β-cells, including induction of the AP-1 transcription factor subunits and other genes involved in the immediate-early response (IEGs). Additionally, we found pregnancy and postpartum-induced changes differed within each endocrine cell type, and in endothelial cells and macrophages within islets. Together, our data reveal novel insights into cell-type specific transcriptional changes responsible for adaptations by islet cells to pregnancy and their resolution postpartum.

Islet-Autonomous Inflammatory Signaling Propagates Autoimmunity and Promotes Diabetes in Nonobese Diabetic Mice

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an immune-mediated disease that leads to β cell dysfunction and death. However, the contribution of β cells in this process remains unclear. To understand how islet-derived pro-inflammatory signaling pathways contribute to diabetes pathogenesis, we generated inducible islet-specific Alox15 knockout mice on the NOD background. We report that islet-specific deletion of Alox15 induced a substantial increase of β-cell mass and decreased islet insulitis, and ultimately lead to a protection against spontaneous autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice. Single cell RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry analysis revealed that islet-specific knockout of Alox15 leads to an increase of β cells expressing Pd-l1 and promotes an anti-inflammatory phenotype in myeloid cells and T cells inside the islets. Furthermore, islet- specific Alox15 deletion enhances the expansion of M2-like macrophages and regulatory T cells in the pancreatic islets and pancreatic lymph nodes. Together, these results lead to the conclusion that proinflammatory signals produced by β cells allows these cells to express immunoregulators that protects these cells of immune cell attack and promote β cell survival.

RNA sequencing of pancreatic islets and islet-derived macrophages and endothelial cells modulated by vascular endothelial growth factor-A signaling

Project description:Pancreatic islet endocrine cell and endothelial cell (EC) interactions mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) signaling are important for islet endocrine cell differentiation and the formation of highly vascularized islets. To dissect how VEGF-A signaling modulates intra-islet vasculature and innervation, islet microenvironment, and β cell mass, we transiently increased VEGF-A production by β cells. VEGF-A induction dramatically increased the number of intra-islet ECs but led to β cell loss. After withdrawal of the VEGF-A stimulus, β cell mass, function, and islet structure normalized as a result of a robust, but transient, burst in proliferation of pre-existing β cells. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (MΦs) recruited to the site of β cell injury were crucial for the β cell proliferation, which was independent of pancreatic location and circulating factors such as glucose. Identification of the signals responsible for the proliferation of adult, terminally differentiated β cells will improve strategies aimed at β cell regeneration and expansion. Examination of RNA profiles from isolated whole islets from RIP-rtTA; TetO-VEGF-A mice with no doxycycline (Dox) treatment (3 samples) and after 1 week of Dox (3 sample); and islet-derived macrophages (3 samples) and endothelial cells (3 samples) isolated from dispersed purified islets from RIP-rtTA; TetO-VEGF-A mice after 1 week Dox treatment by fluorescence-activated cell sorting using antibodies against CD11b and CD31, respectively.
