Project description:MODY8 (maturity-onset diabetes of the young, type 8) is a dominantly inherited monogenic form of diabetes associated with frameshift mutations in the carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) gene expressed by pancreatic acinar cells. Patients carrying the mutation develop childhood-onset exocrine pancreas dysfunction followed by the manifestation of diabetes during adulthood. However, it is unclear how CEL mutations cause diabetes. Here we report the transfer of proteins from acinar cells to β-cells as a form of crosstalk between exocrine and endocrine cells. Human β-cells showed a relatively higher propensity for internalizing the mutant versus the wild-type CEL protein. Following internalization, the mutant protein formed stable intracellular aggregates leading to β-cell secretory dysfunction. To investigate the effects in vivo, we transplanted stem cell-derived wild-type or mutant pancreatic progenitors into independent mice and generated insulin-secreting β-like cells and CEL-expressing acinar-like cells. While the β-like cells derived from wild-type stem cells responded to glucose, the β-like cells derived from mutant stem cells were dysfunctional secondary to the accumulation of intracellular mutant CEL protein. Analysis of pancreas sections from a MODY8 patient also revealed the presence of CEL protein in the few extant β-cells. This study provides compelling evidence for the mechanism by which a mutant gene expressed specifically in acinar cells promotes dysfunction and loss of β-cells to cause diabetes.

Project description:This project is reporting on microdissection proteomics of human operable, non-neoadjuvant treated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) with deep coverage of histologically neoplastic and adjacent healthier exocrine glands as well as stromal regions surrounding both. Through proteomic analysis, the parenchymal sample types differed significantly, with the malignant regions characterized by a broad downregulation of digestive enzymes. Instead, the stromal areas were alike, dominated by extracellular matrix proteins and lower expression of most metabolic pathways compared to the exocrine areas. Cholesterol synthesizing enzymes were more abundant in the tumor than stroma, as confirmed by an independent PDAC dataset and immunohistochemistry of PDAC microarrays. However, this was not accompanied by intratumor lipid deposition. Pathways most prognostic for survival were unexpectedly enriched in the histologically healthier exocrine glands, with a specific prognostic marker. Systematic analysis of pancreatic cancer transcriptomes from The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed that increased transcriptional complexity confers poor prognosis in PDAC.

Project description:We have determined the cistrome and transcriptome for the nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1) in the exocrine pancreas. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-seq and RNA-seq analyses reveal that LRH-1 directly induces expression of genes encoding digestive enzymes and secretory and mitochrondrial proteins. LRH-1 cooperates with the pancreas transcription factor 1-L complex (PTF1-L) in regulationg exocrine pancreas-specific gene expression. Elimination of LRH-1 in adult mice reduced the concentration of several lipases and proteases in pancreatic fluid and impaired pancreatic fluid secretion in response to cholecystokinin. Thus, LRH-1 is a key regulator of the exocrine pancreas-specific transcriptional network required for the production and secretion of pancreatic fluid. input and Lrh1 ChIP

Project description:Early postnatal overnutrition causes persistent dysregulation of endocrine pancreas function. We used genome-scale DNA methylation profiling in the suckling-period small litter (SL) mouse model to test whether this occurs via persistent epigenetic changes in pancreatic islets. Although SL islets showed DNA methylation changes directly after weaning and in adulthood, few of these were present at both ages, contrary to our hypothesis. Most interestingly, we discovered that genomic regions that are hypermethylated in exocrine relative to endocrine pancreas tend to gain methylation in islets during aging. Focusing on a subset of genes relevant to β cell function, we showed that these methylation differences are strongly correlated with expression. Together, our results provide the novel insight that DNA methylation changes that occur as islets age indicate an overall epigenetic drift toward the exocrine pancreas epigenome. These concerted shifts in the islet methylome could contribute to the age-associated decline in endocrine pancreas function. Pancreatic islets were isolated from P21/P180 SL or C mice. To ensure purity of islets, 3 rounds of manual picking were performed in each samples. Whole pancreas samples, ~98% of which is exocrine pancreas, were used as exocrine pancreas. There are 5 mice per group.

Project description:Several miRNAs have tissue-specific patterns consistent with crucial functions in many biological processes and are candidate biomarkers of disease. Yet, there is limited knowledge about the role of pancreas-specific miRNAs in pancreatic pathologies. Here, we show that miR-216a is a conserved, pancreas-specific miRNA with important roles in pancreatic islet and acinar cells. By profiling miRNAs from human islets and subsequent systematic tissue analysis we found that miR-216a is highly enriched in endocrine and exocrine pancreas. Deletion of miR-216a in mice lead to a reduction in islet size, β-cell mass and insulin levels. RNA-sequencing indicated that cell cycle and proliferation were the most significantly regulated biological processes in miR-216 knockout pancreata. miR-216a was induced by TGF-β signalling and inhibition of miR-216a increased apoptosis and decreased cell proliferation in both β- and exocrine cells. Deletion of miR-216a in the pancreatic cancer prone mouse line Kras G12D ;Ptf1a CreER reduced the propensity of pancreatic cancer precursor lesions. Notably, circulating miR-216a levels were elevated in both mice and humans with pancreatic cancer. Collectively, our study gives insights into how β-cell mass and acinar cell growth are modulated by a pancreas-specific miRNA but also suggests miR-216a as a promising biomarker for diagnosis of pancreatic diseases.

Project description:Pancreatic ducts form an intricate network of tubules that secrete bicarbonate and drive acinar secretions into the duodenum. This network is formed by centroacinar cells, terminal, intercalated, intracalated ducts, and the main pancreatic duct. Ductal heterogeneity at the single-cell level has been poorly characterized. Here, we used scRNA-seq to comprehensively characterize mouse ductal heterogeneity at single-cell resolution of the entire ductal epithelium from centroacinar cells to the main duct. Moreover, we used organoid cultures, injury models and pancreatic tumor samples to interrogate the role of novel ductal populations in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis. In our study, we have identified the coexistence of 15 ductal populations within the healthy pancreas and characterized their organoid formation capacity and endocrine differentiation potential. Cluster isolation and subsequent culturing let us identify ductal cell populations with high organoid formation capacity and endocrine and exocrine differentiation potential in vitro, including Wnt-responsive-population, ciliated-population and FLRT3+ cells. Moreover, we have characterized the location of these novel ductal populations in healthy pancreas, chronic pancreatitis and tumor samples, hightlihgting a putative role of WNT-responsive, IFN-responsive and EMT-populations in pancreatic exocrine pathogenesis as their expression inceases in chronic pancreatitis and PanIN lesions. In light of our discovery of previously unidentified ductal populations, we unmask the potential roles of specific ductal populations in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis.
