Paired box 6 gene delivery preserves beta cells and improves islet transplantation efficacy

ABSTRACT: Loss of pancreatic beta cells is the central feature of all forms of diabetes. Current therapies fail to halt the declined beta cell mass. Thus, strategies to preserve beta cells are imperatively needed. In this study, we identified paired box 6 (PAX6) as a critical regulator of beta cell survival. Under diabetic conditions, the human beta cell line EndoC-bH1, db/db mouse and human islets displayed dampened insulin and incretin signalings and reduced beta cell survival, which were alleviated by PAX6 overexpression. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated PAX6 overexpression in beta cells of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice and db/db mice led to a sustained maintenance of glucose homeostasis. AAV-PAX6 transduction in human islets reduced islet graft loss and improved glycemic control after transplantation into immunodeficient diabetic mice. Our study highlights a previously unappreciated role for PAX6 in beta cell survival and raises the possibility that ex vivo PAX6 gene transfer into islets prior to transplantation might enhance islet graft function and transplantation outcome.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Wild Type and Diabetic db/db Mice Islets Transcriptomes

Project description:Circular RNAs constitute an extensive fraction of the mammalian transcriptome.In this study, circular RNAs dysregulated in the islets of diabetic db/db mice were identified by high-throughput RNA sequencing. More than 5000 circRNAs were detected using RNA sequencing, indicating that circular transcripts were abundant in islets. Among them, we found that circ-Tulp4 showed significant downregulation in diabetic mouse islet cells. Further experiments indicated that modulating the expression of circ-Tulp4 in β cell lines desensitized β-cells to lipotoxicity.

Transcriptome comparison of PAX6 ablated mouse beta cells to WT beta cells, ChIP-seq analysis of PAX6 bound sites both in mouse and human beta cell lines (Min6 and EndoC), and ChIP-seq analysis fo histone mark H3K9ac on mouse pancreatic beta cells.

Project description:Here, we report a key role for the transcription factor Pax6 in the maintenance of adult beta-cell identity and function. Pax6 is down regulated in beta-cells of diabetic db/db mice and in wild type mice treated with an insulin receptor antagonist, revealing metabolic control of expression. Deletion of Pax6 in beta-cells of adult mice leads to lethal hyperglycemia and ketosis, due to loss of beta-cell function and expansion of alpha-cells. Lineage tracing, transcriptome, and chromatin analyses show that Pax6 is a direct activator of beta-cell genes, maintaining mature beta-cell function and identity. In parallel, Pax6 binds promoters and enhancers to repress alternative islet cell genes including ghrelin, glucagon, and somatostatin. Chromatin analysis and shRNA-mediated gene suppression experiments indicate a similar function of PAX6 in human beta-cells. Reduced expression of Pax6 in metabolically stressed beta-cells may contribute to beta-cell failure and alpha-cell dysfunction in diabetes.

Differential gene expression on islet transplantation with or without the presence of autologous fibroblasts

Project description:Pancreatic islet transplantation was performed in the subcutaneous space of diabetic nude mice. In order to promote long survival and function of transplanted islets a plasma-based scaffold was developed in combination with fibroblasts as graft-supporting accesory cells. Gene expression analysis was carried out to evaluate expression differences due to the presence of fibroblast which could explain the long-term glycemic control observed under these circumstances.

Transcription profiling of pancreatic islet implanted transgenic (expressing survivini) in mice

Project description:Transgenic mice were generated that expressed the inhibitor of apoptosis and mitotic regulator survivin in pancreatic islet beta cells. Control non-transgenic or transgenic islets were then used in a model of islet transplantation in diabetic recipient mice and tested for their ability to correct hyperglycemia and allow long-term engraftment of tranplanted islets in vivo. Control or transgenic islets were analyzed by chip microarray for potential transcriptional changes associated with transgenic expression of survivin, in vivo.

Increased β-cell proliferation prior to immune-cell invasion prevents progression of type 1 diabetes

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by pancreatic islet infiltration by autoreactive immune cells and a near-total loss of β-cells. Restoration of insulin-producing β-cells coupled with immunomodulation to suppress the autoimmune attack has emerged as a potential approach to counter T1D. Here we report that enhancing β-cell mass in female NOD mice early in life (prior to weaning) results in immunomodulation of T-cells, reduced islet infiltration and lower β-cell apoptosis, that together protect them from developing T1D. We observed that a model exhibiting β-cell hyperplasia on the NOD background (NOD-LIRKO) displayed altered β-cell antigens, and islet transplantation studies showed prolonged graft survival of NOD-LIRKO islets even upon exposure to diabetogenic splenocytes in vivo. Adoptive transfer of splenocytes from the NOD-LIRKOs prevented diabetes development in pre-diabetic NOD mice, while conversely, similar protective outcomes were obtained when NOD-LIRKO splenocytes were adoptively transferred after mixing them with diabetogenic NOD splenocytes in a dose-dependent manner. A significant increase in the splenic CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T-cell (Treg) population in the NOD-LIRKO mice was observed to drive the protected phenotype since Treg depletion rendered NOD-LIRKO mice diabetic. The increase in Tregs coupled with a downregulation of key mediators of cellular function, upregulation of apoptosis and activation of TGF-β/SMAD3 signaling pathway in pathogenic T-cells favored reduced ability to kill β-cells. These data provide novel evidence that initiating β-cell proliferation, alone, prior to islet infiltration by immune cells alters the identity of β-cells, decreases pathologic self-reactivity of effector cells and increases Tregs to prevent progression of T1D.

Next-generation sequencing facilitates quantitative analysis of wild type and diabetic db/db mice islets transcriptomes

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) constitute an extensive fraction of the mammalian transcriptome. In this study, lncRNAs dysregulated in the islets of diabetic db/db mice were identified by high-throughput RNA sequencing. More than 1600 lncRNAs were detected using RNA sequencing, indicating that lncRNAs were abundant in islets. Among them, we found that lncRNA-Malat1 was significantly reduced in diabetic mouse islets. Further experiments suggested an involvement of lncRNA-Malat1 in lipotoxicity-induced β-cell dysfunction.
