Project description:The short chain fatty acid (SCFA) receptor (free fatty acid receptor-3; FFAR3) is expressed in pancreatic beta cells; however, its role in insulin secretion is not clearly defined. Here, we examined the role of FFAR3 in insulin secretion. Using islets from global knockout FFAR3 (Ffar3-/-) mice, we explored the role of FFAR3 and ligand-induced FFAR3 signaling on glucose stimulated insulin secretion. RNA sequencing was also performed to gain greater insight into the impact of FFAR3 deletion on the islet transcriptome. First exploring insulin secretion, it was determined that Ffar3-/- islets secrete more insulin in a glucose-dependent manner as compared to wildtype (WT) islets. Next, exploring its primary endogenous ligand, propionate, and a specific agonist for FFAR3, signaling by FFAR3 inhibited glucose-dependent insulin secretion, which occurred through a Gαi/o pathway. To help understand these results, transcriptome analyses by RNA-sequencing of Ffar3-/- and WT islets observed multiple genes with well known roles in islet biology to be altered by genetic knockout of FFAR3. Our data shows that FFAR3 signaling mediates glucose stimulated insulin secretion through Gαi/o sensitive pathway. Future studies are needed to more rigorously define the role of FFAR3 by in vivo approaches.

Project description:The NF-κB pathway is a master regulator of inflammatory processes and is implicated in insulin resistance and pancreatic beta cell dysfunction in the metabolic syndrome. While canonical NF-κB signaling is well studied, there is little information on the divergent non-canonical NF-κB pathway in the context of pancreatic islet dysfunction in diabetes. Here, we demonstrate that pharmacological activation of the non-canonical NF-κB inducing kinase (NIK) disrupts glucose homeostasis in zebrafish in vivo. Further, we identify NIK as a critical negative regulator of beta cell function as pharmacological NIK activation results in impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in mouse and human islets. NIK levels are elevated in pancreatic islets isolated from diet-induced obese (DIO) mice, which exhibit increased processing of non-canonical NF-κB components p100 to p52, and accumulation of RelB. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), two ligands associated with diabetes, induce NIK in islets. Mice with constitutive beta cell intrinsic NIK activation present impaired insulin secretion with DIO. NIK activation triggers the non-canonical NF-κB transcriptional network to induce genes identified in human type 2 diabetes genome-wide association studies linked to beta cell failure. These studies reveal that NIK contributes a central mechanism for beta cell failure in diet-induced obesity. We identify a role for Nuclear Factor inducing κB (NIK) in pancreatic beta cell failure. NIK activation disrupts glucose homeostasis in zebrafish in vivo and impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in mouse and human islets in vitro. NIK activation also perturbs beta cell insulin secretion in a diet-induced obesity mouse model. These studies reveal that NIK contributes a central mechanism for beta cell failure in obesity. To uncover the role of NIK in pancreatic beta cells, we performed a gene expression microarray analysis comparing pancreatic islets with constitutive beta cell intrinsicNIK activation from the 16 week old mice (beta cell specific TRAF2 and TRAF2 knockout mice) to their controls (n=3 per group).

Project description:Background: Tetraspanin-7 (Tspan7) is an islet autoantigen involved in autoimmune type 1 diabetes and known to regulate beta-cell L-type Ca2+ channel activity. However, the role of Tspan7 in pancreatic beta-cell function is not yet fully understood. Methods: Histological analyses were conducted using immunostaining. Whole-body metabolism was tested using glucose tolerance test. Islet hormone secretion was quantified using static batch incubation or dynamic perifusion. Beta-cell transmembrane currents, electrical activity and exocytosis were measured using whole-cell patch-clamping and capacitance measurements. Gene expression was studied using mRNA-sequencing and quantitative PCR. Results: Tspan7 is expressed in insulin-containing granules of pancreatic beta-cells. Tspan7-knockout mice (Tspan7 y/- mouse) exhibit reduced body weight and ad libitum plasma glucose but normal glucose tolerance. Tspan7y/- islets have normal insulin content and glucose- or tolbutamide-stimulated insulin secretion. Depolarisation-triggered Ca2+ current was enhanced in Tspan7y/- beta-cells, but beta-cell electrical activity and depolarisation-evoked exocytosis were unchanged suggesting that exocytosis was less sensitive to Ca2+. TSPAN7 knockdown (KD) in human pseudo-islets led to a significant reduction in high K+-stimulated insulin secretion. Transcriptomic analyses show that TSPAN7 KD in human pseudo-islets correlated with changes in genes involved in hormone secretion, apoptosis and ER stress. Consistent with rodent beta-cells, exocytotic Ca2+ sensitivity was reduced in a human beta cell line (EndoC-H1) following Tspan7 KD. Conclusion: Tspan7 is involved in the regulation of Ca2+-dependent exocytosis in beta-cells. Its function is more significant in human beta-cells than their rodent counterparts

Project description:We found these ROS generation is regulated by lncRNA MALAT1 and genetic ablation of MALAT1 drastically reduced ROS level and oxidative stress in mouse islet cells with the benefits of improved insulin responses in MALAT1-/- mouse. The pancreatic islet consists of five cell types (α, β and γ/PP, δ and ε cells) and very little is known about the xenobiotic detoxification pathways in these cells and their sensitivity to toxicants. We utilized single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze the role of MALAT1 in regulating oxidative stress response and insulin secretion function in distinct pancreatic cell population. We also treat the isolated pancreatic islets with 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) (10 nM, 12h) to investigate the xenobiotic detoxification pathways regulation in both MALAT1 KO and WT pancreatic islets. Our result showed that a subset of genes in T2DM related pathways were significantly regulated in MALAT1 -/- β cells, with significantly unregulated INS1, INS2, and PDX1. Nrf2/detoxification pathway was also significantly activated in MALAT1 -/- β cells. In addition, MALAT1 expression level was elevated in the T2DM patients pancreatic islets cells. This study provides insights for mechanisms of regulation of oxidative stress by MALAT1-Nrf2 interaction which has the potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of T2DM.

Project description:Unlike adult β-cells, fetal and neonatal islets are functional immature and have blunted glucose responsiveness and decreased insulin secretion in response to stimuli. Pancreatic islets are a mixture of different cell types. Study of transcriptomes from intact islets would identify novel molecular mechanisms controlling islet functional development. At e19 and 2 weeks of age, pancreatic islets were isolated and total RNA were extracted for RNA-Seq study. Gene expression profiles were compared in the study.

Project description:The cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1) regulates insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in peripheral tissues. CB1 is expressed on pancreatic beta (β)-cells where its functions have not been fully described. We generated a β-cell-specific CB1-knockout (β-CB1-/-) mouse to study the long-term consequences of CB1 ablation on β-cell function in adult mice. β-CB1-/- mice had increased basal- and stimulated-insulin secretion and intra-islet cAMP levels, resulting in primary hyperinsulinemia, as well as increased β-cell viability, proliferation, and islet area. Hyperinsulinemia led to insulin resistance, which was aggravated by a high fat/high glucose diet and weight gain, although β-cells maintained their insulin secretory capacity in response to glucose. Strikingly, islets from β-CB1-/- mice were protected from diet-induced inflammation. Mechanistically we show that this is a consequence of curtailment of oxidative stress and reduced activation of Nlrp3 inflammasome in β-cells. Our data demonstrate CB1 to be a negative regulator of β-cells and a mediator of islet inflammation under conditions of metabolic stress.

Project description:The pancreas plays a critical role in maintaining glucose homeostasis through the secretion of hormones from the islets of Langerhans. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) by the pancreatic beta-cell is the main mechanism for reducing elevated plasma glucose.
Here we present a systematic modeling workflow for the development of kinetic pathway models using the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML). An important factor was the reproducibility and exchangeability of the model, which allowed the use of various existing tools.
The workflow was applied to construct a novel data-driven kinetic model of GSIS in the pancreatic beta-cell based on experimental and clinical data from 39 studies spanning 50 years of pancreatic, islet, and beta-cell research in humans, rats, mice, and cell lines. The model consists of detailed glycolysis and phenomenological equations for insulin secretion coupled to cellular energy state, ATP dynamics and (ATP/ADP ratio).
Key findings of our work are that in GSIS there is a glucose-dependent increase in almost all intermediates of glycolysis. This increase in glycolytic metabolites is accompanied by an increase in energy metabolites, especially ATP and NADH. One of the few decreasing metabolites is ADP, which, in combination with the increase in ATP, results in a large increase in ATP/ADP ratios in the beta-cell with increasing glucose. Insulin secretion is dependent on ATP/ADP, resulting in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.

Project description:G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seven transmembrane signaling molecules that are involved in a wide variety of physiological processes. They constitute a large protein family of receptors with almost 300 members detected in human pancreatic islet preparations. However, the functional role of these receptors in pancreatic islets is unknown in most cases. We generated a new stable human beta cell line from neonatal pancreas. This cell line, named ECN90 expresses both subunits (GABBR1 and GABBR2) of the metabotropic GABAB receptor compared to human islet. In ECN90 cells, baclofen, a specific GABAB receptor agonist, inhibits cAMP signaling causing decreased expression of beta cell-specific genes such as MAFA and PCSK1, and reduced insulin secretion. We next demonstrated that in primary human islets, GABBR2 mRNA expression is strongly induced under cAMP signaling, while GABBR1 mRNA is constitutively expressed. We also found that induction and activation of the GABAB receptor in human islets modulates insulin secretion.
