Project description:Objectives The streptozotocin (STZ) model is widely used in diabetes research. However, the cellular and molecular states of pancreatic endocrine cells in this model remain unclear. This study explored the molecular characteristics of islet cells treated with STZ and re-evaluated β-cell dysfunction and regeneration in the STZ model. Methods We performed single-cell RNA sequencing of pancreatic endocrine cells from STZ-treated mice. High-quality sequencing data from 2,999 cells were used to identify clusters via Louvain clustering analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA), t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE), uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP), force-directed layout (FDL), and differential expression analysis were used to define the heterogeneity and transcriptomic changes in islet cells. In addition, qPCR and immunofluorescence staining were used to confirm findings from the sequencing data. Results Untreated β-cells were divided into two populations at the transcriptomic level, a large high-Glut2 expression (Glut2high) population and a small low-Glut2 expression (Glut2low) population. At the transcriptomic level, Glut2low β-cells in adult mice did not represent a developmentally immature state, although a fraction of genes associated with β-cell maturation and function were downregulated in Glut2low cells. After a single high-dose STZ treatment, most Glut2high cells were killed, but Glut2low cells survived and over time changed to a distinct cell state. We did not observe conversion of Glut2low to Glut2high β-cells up to 9 months after STZ treatment. In addition, we did not detect transcriptomic changes in the non-β endocrine cells or a direct trans-differentiation pathway from the α-cell lineage to the β-cell lineage in the STZ model. Conclusions We identified the heterogeneity of β-cells in both physiological and pathological conditions. However, we did not observe conversion of Glut2low to Glut2high β-cells, transcriptomic changes in the non-β endocrine cells, or direct trans-differentiation from the α-cell lineage to the β-cell lineage in the STZ model. Our results clearly define the states of islet cells treated with STZ and allow us to re-evaluate the STZ model widely used in diabetes studies.

Project description:Streptozotocin (STZ) is an anti-cancer drug that is primarily used to treat neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in clinical settings and develop type 1 diabetes rodent models in experimental fields. STZ is incorporated into cells through the glucose transporter, GLUT2, which is primarily expressed in pancreatic β-cells or proximal tubular epithelial cells in the kidney. However, its cytotoxic effects on kidney cells have been underestimated and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We herein demonstrated that DNA damage and subsequent p53 signaling were responsible for the development of STZ-induced tubular epithelial injury. We detected tubular epithelial DNA damage in NET patients treated with STZ. Unbiased transcriptomics of tubular epithelial cells in vitro showed the activation of the p53 signaling pathway by STZ. STZ induced DNA damage and activated p53 signaling in vivo in a dose-dependent manner, resulting in reduced membrane transport. The localization of STZ-induced kidney injury was limited to within the kidney cortex, which was independent of blood glucose. The pharmacological inhibition of p53 and sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) mitigated STZ-induced epithelial injury. However, the cytotoxic effects of STZ on pancreatic β-cells were preserved in SGLT2 inhibitor-treated mice. The present results demonstrate the strong proximal tubular-specific cytotoxicity of STZ and the underlying mechanisms in vivo, which may be ameliorated by a SGLT2 inhibitor pretreatment. Since the cytotoxic effects of STZ against β-cells were not impaired by dapagliflozin, a pretreatment with a SGLT2 inhibitor has potential as a preventative remedy for kidney injury in NET patients treated with STZ.

Project description:Background and Aims: It is well demonstrated that in the beta cell population of the pancreas there is a dynamic turnover, which results from the net balance of several processes; beta cell replication, apoptosis and neogenesis. These processes have been studied in partial pancreatectomy and glucagon-like peptide 1 treated animals, where an increase in pancreas regeneration has been observed. Similarly, sodium tungstate, which decreases hyperglycemia in several animal models of diabetes, promotes a rise in the beta cell mass of nSTZ and STZ animals. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this pancreas regeneration remain unknown. Therefore the objective of this study is to identify which genes are up or down regulated in the increase of the beta cell population of STZ rats treated with sodium tungstate. Materials and methods: Adult male Wistar (225-250 g) rats were kept under a constant 12-hour light-dark cycle and rats were kept under a constant 12-hour light-dark cycle and were allowed to eat and drink freely. Diabetes was induced by a single i.p. injection of streptozotocin (STZ) (70 mg/Kg body weight) in 0.9% NaCl with 100 mmol/L sodium citrate buffer (pH 4.5). Diabetes was confirmed by determination of its hyperglycaemia (>500mg/dL [Reflotron, Roche Diagnostic]). Healthy rats received an i.p. injection of the vehicle. Treatment started 7 days after the STZ or vehicle injection. Diabetic and healthy rats were divided into two groups. In the first (untreated), rats received deionized drinking water; in the second (treated) group, they were given a solution of sodium tungstate. During the first week of treatment, the rats received a solution of 0.7 mg/mL and in the next 4-5 weeks, the concentration was increased to 2 mg/mL. At the end of the experiment, the animals were sacrificed and pancreatic RNA isolated. Three chips (Affymetrix RAE-230A) were hybridized for each of the four experimental groups (untreated and treated healthy rats and untreated and treated diabetic rats). The raw intensity data obtained from the microarrays was normalized and summarized using the Bioconductor package RMA.

Project description:The experiment was designed to obtain a broader unbiased view of the changes in islet macrophages following low dose STZ challenge. Mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME). 16-20-week-old C57BL/6J males were given 30 mg/kg STZ or acetate buffer (control) i.p. (intraperitoneal injection) for 5 consecutive days. Following the first STZ or buffer injection mice were sacrificed on day 14 and islets were isolated by collagenase digestion. Freshly isolated islets were dispersed in 0.02% Trypsin-EDTA for 3 minutes followed by up to 1 minute of pipetting under a stereomicroscope to obtain a single cell solution. Islet media was added to stop the reaction. Islets from 10 mice were pooled per sample (N). Dispersed islets were washed with FACS buffer (1% heat inactivated FBS, 1 mM EDTA, 11 mM glucose in PBS). Cells were kept on ice and pre-incubated with Fc Block (1:100) for 5 minutes, followed by 30 min incubation with CD45-eFluor 450 (1:250; clone 30-F11), Ly-6C-APC (1:1,200; clone HK1.4), CD11b-PE (1:1,200; clone M1/700, F4/80-FITC (1:150; clone BM8), CD11c-PECy7 (1:150; clone N418), and the viability dye 7AAD (1:2,000). Unstained, single stains, and fluorescence minus one controls were used for setting gates and compensation. Viable, single CD45+Ly6c-Cd11b+Cd11c+F4/80+ cells were sorted using a BD FACS Aria IIu directly into lysis buffer, and the RNeasy Plus Micro Kit from Qiagen was used to isolate total RNA. Total RNA quality control quantification was performed using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. All RNA samples had an RNA integrity number (RIN) ≥9.1. The NeoPrep Library Prep System from Ilumina was used for library preparation followed by sequencing using standard Illumina methods and Ilumina NextSeq500.

Project description:Phloridzin is a dihydrochalcone typically contained in apples. A diet containing 0.5 % phloridzin significantly improves hyperglycemia but not hypoinsulinemia and tissue lipid peroxidation in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice after 14 days. The phloridzin diet has no effect on the alteration of hepatic gene expression in STZ-induced diabetic mice. A quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed a reversal of the STZ induction of the sodium/glucose cotransporter gene Sglt1 and the drug-metabolizing enzyme genes Cyp2b10 and Ephx1 in the small intestine of mice fed a 0.5% phloridzin diet. These mice also showed a reversal of the STZ-mediated renal induction of the glucose-regulated facilitated glucose transporter gene Glut2. Dietary phloridzin improved the abnormal elevations in blood glucose level and the overexpression of Sglt1, Cyp2b10 and Ephx1 in the small intestine of STZ-induced diabetic mice.

Project description:Low protein (LP) during gestation leads to low birth weight and poor fetal growth, with altered islet development and glucose intolerance in adulthood. Additionally, LP offspring fail to regenerate their β-cells following depletion with streptozotocin (STZ), in contrast to control-fed offspring that are capable of β-cell regeneration. Our objective was to identify genes and signalling pathways that may be critically altered in LP offspring rendering them susceptible to develop long term glucose intolerance and decreased β-cell plasticity.
