Defining the unique and shared gene regulatory network components of IRE1αandXBP1in β-cells ofNOD mice

ABSTRACT: Clinical and preclinical evidence suggest that β-cell endoplasmic reticulum stress and dysregulated unfolded protein response (UPR) contribute to type 1 diabetes (T1D) pathogenesis. During stress adaptation, IRE1α, a key UPR sensor, can exhibit pleiotropic roles. Its deletion in β-cells of non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice prior to insulitis (Ire1αβ-/-) confers protection against T1D. However, specific downstream effectors mediating this protective effect remain unknown. Here we show that β-cell-specific deletion of Xbp1, IRE1α’s downstream effector, protects mice against T1D. Histological and single-cell transcriptomic analyses indicate that Xbp1β-/- mice largely phenocopy Ire1αβ-/- mice. Comparative single-cell transcriptome and gene regulatory network analyses in islets of Ire1αβ-/- and Xbp1β-/- mice reveal unique transcriptional networks, biological processes and network regulators not only in β-cells a but other non-islet β-cell as well. Our findings define the role of β-cell IRE1α/XBP1 pathway and identify previously unrecognized networks and regulatory nodes of this pathway in NOD mice.

Stress-induced beta cell dedifferentiation prior to immune cell infiltration prevents type 1 diabetes [Single]

Project description:Immune-mediated destruction of insulin-producing β-cells causes type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, how β-cells themselves participate in the disease process is poorly understood. Here, we report that modulating the unfolded protein response (UPR) in β-cells of non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice in early stages of disease results in preserved β-cell function, substantially reduced islet immune cell infiltration, and β-cell apoptosis leading to protection from T1D. NOD mice that lack the UPR sensor IRE1α in β-cells show greatly reduced expression of β-cell identity markers, islet autoantigens, and genes involved in antigen presentation. These mice exhibit upregulation of immune inhibitory markers in β-cells and significantly less cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in the pancreas. Our results indicate that triggering transient β-cell dedifferentiation via targeting a specific branch of the UPR in β-cells, prior to insulitis, allow β-cells to escape from immune destruction and may be used as a novel preventive strategy for high-risk individuals.

Early senescence-induced immunosuppressive β-cell secretome prevents type 1 diabetes

Project description:During the progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D), β-cells are exposed to significant stress and therefore require adaptive responses to survive. The adaptive mechanisms that can preserve β-cell function and survival in the face of autoimmunity remain unclear. Here we show that deletion of the unfolded protein response genes, Atf6α or Ire1α, in β-cells of NOD mice prior to insulitis generates a p21-driven early senescence phenotype and altered β-cell secretome that significantly enhances leukemia inhibitory factor-mediated recruitment of M2 macrophages to the islets. Consequently, M2 macrophages promote anti-inflammatory responses and immune surveillance that cause resolution of islet inflammation, removal of terminally senesced β-cells, reduction of β-cell apoptosis, and prevention of T1D. We further demonstrate that p21-mediated early senescence signature is conserved in residual β-cells of T1D patients. Our findings reveal a previously unrecognized link between β-cell UPR and senescence that, if leveraged, may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for T1D.

E3 ligase substrate adaptor SPOP fine tunes the UPR of pancreatic beta cells

Project description:The Cullin 3 E3 ligase adaptor protein, SPOP, targets proteins for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. We previously established the β cell transcription factor (TF) and human diabetes gene PDX1 as an SPOP substrate, suggesting a functional role for SPOP in the β cell. Here, we generated a β cell specific Spop deletion mouse strain (SpopβKO) and found that Spop is necessary to prevent aberrant basal insulin secretion and for maintaining glucose- stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) through impacts on glycolysis and glucose-stimulated calcium flux. Integration of proteomic, TF-regulatory gene network and biochemical analyses identified XBP1 as a functionally important SPOP substrate in pancreatic β cells.Further, loss of SPOP strengthened the IRE1α-XBP1 axis of unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling. ER stress promoted proteasomal degradation of SPOP, supporting a model whereby SPOP fine-tunes XBP1 activation during the UPR. These results position SPOP as a regulatorof β cell function and proper UPR activation.

IRE1α-XBP1 signaling in leukocytes controls prostaglandin biosynthesis and pain

Project description:The IRE1α-XBP1 arm of the unfolded protein response (UPR) maintains endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis, but also controls UPR-independent processes such as cytokine production and lipid metabolism. Yet, the physiological consequences of IRE1α-XBP1 activation in immune cells remain largely unexplored. Here, we report that leukocyte-intrinsic IRE1α-XBP1 signaling drives prostaglandin biosynthesis and pain. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that induction of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (Ptgs2/Cox-2) and prostaglandin E synthase (Ptges/mPGES-1) was compromised in IRE1α-deficient myeloid cells undergoing ER stress or stimulated via pattern recognition receptors. Inducible biosynthesis of prostaglandins, including PGE2, was markedly decreased in myeloid cells lacking IRE1α or XBP1, but not altered in the absence of the two other ER stress sensors PERK and ATF6. Mechanistically, IRE1α-activated XBP1 bound to and directly induced the expression of human PTGS2 and PTGES to enable PGE2 generation. Mice selectively lacking IRE1α-XBP1 in leukocytes, or treated with pharmacological IRE1α inhibitors, failed to induce PGE2 upon challenge with inflammatory stimuli and demonstrated reduced behavioral pain responses in PGE2-dependent models of pain. Our study uncovers an unexpected role for IRE1α-XBP1 as a key mediator of prostaglandin biosynthesis and indicates that targeting this pathway may represent an alternative approach to control pain.

A discovery-based proteomics approach identifies protein disulfide isomerase (PDIA1) as a biomarker of β cell stress in type 1 diabetes

Project description:Background: Activation of stress pathways intrinsic to the β cell are thought to both accelerate β cell death and increase β cell immunogenicity in type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, information on the timing and scope of these responses is lacking. Methods: To identify temporal and disease-related changes in islet β cell protein expression, SWATH-MS/MS proteomics analysis was performed on islets collected longitudinally from NOD mice and NOD-SCID mice rendered diabetic through T cell adoptive transfer. Findings: In islets collected from female NOD mice at 10, 12, and 14 weeks of age, we found a time-restricted upregulation of proteins involved in the maintenance of β cell function and stress mitigation, followed by loss of expression of protective proteins that heralded diabetes onset. Pathway analysis identified EIF2 signaling and the unfolded protein response, mTOR signaling, mitochondrial function, and oxidative phosphorylation as commonly modulated pathways in both diabetic NOD mice and NOD-SCID mice rendered acutely diabetic by adoptive transfer, highlighting this core set of pathways in T1D pathogenesis. In immunofluorescence validation studies, β cell expression of protein disulfide isomerase A1 (PDIA1) and 14-3-3b were found to be increased during disease progression in NOD islets, while PDIA1 plasma levels were increased in pre-diabetic NOD mice and in the serum of children with recent-onset T1D compared to age and sex-matched non-diabetic controls. Interpretation: We identified a common and core set of modulated pathways across distinct mouse models of T1D and identified PDIA1 as a potential human biomarker of β cell stress in T1D.

The IRE1α/XBP1 pathway expression is impaired in pediatric cholestatic liver disease explants

Project description:Background/Aims: Cholestatic liver diseases (CLD) are the leading indication for pediatric liver transplantation. Increased intrahepatic bile acid concentrations cause endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated to maintain homeostasis. UPR dysregulation, including the inositol-requiring enzyme 1α/X-box protein 1 (IRE1α/XBP1) pathway, is associated with several adult liver diseases. We evaluated hepatic UPR expression in pediatric patients with end-stage CLD and hypothesize that an inability to appropriately activate the hepatic IRE1α/XBP1 pathway is associated with the pathogenesis of CLD. Methods: We evaluated 34 human liver explants. Cohorts included: pediatric CLD (Alagille, ALGS, and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, PFIC), pediatric non-cholestatic liver disease controls (autoimmune hepatitis, AIH), adult CLD, and normal controls. We performed RNA-seq, quantitative PCR, and western blotting to measure expression differences of the hepatic UPR and other signaling pathways. Results: Metascape pathway analysis demonstrated that the KEGG ‘protein processing in ER’ pathway was downregulated in pediatric CLD compared to normal controls. Pediatric CLD had decreased hepatic IRE1α/XBP1 pathway gene expression and decreased protein expression of p-IRE1α compared to normal controls. These CLD changes were not disease-specific to ALGS or PFIC. IRE1α/XBP1 pathway gene expression was decreased in pediatric CLD compared to AIH disease controls. Conclusion: Pediatric CLD explants have decreased gene and protein expression of the protective IRE1α/XBP1 pathway and down-regulated KEGG protein processing in the ER pathways. IRE1α/XBP1 pathway expression differences occur when compared to both normal and non-cholestatic disease controls. Attenuated expression of the IRE1α/XBP1 pathway is associated with cholestatic diseases and could be targeted to treat pediatric CLD.

Ubiquitin Thioesterase OTUB2 is An Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-associated β Cell Autoantigen Targeted by CD8+ T cells in Type 1 Diabetes

Project description:Autoreactive CD8+ T cell plays a key role in the pathogenesis of Type 1 diabetes (T1D), but the antigen spectrum that activate autoreactive CD8+ T cells is still not completely clear. Endoplasmic reticulum stress（ERS）has been implicated in the generation of β cell autoantigens and the enhanced immune visibility of β cells to autoreactive T cells. Here, we in-depth analyzed the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) associated immunopeptidome (MIP) of islets β cell under steady-state and ERS-state, and found couples of peptides exclusively present in the MIP of β cell line under ERS state. Among them, peptide OTUB258-66 derived from ubiquitin thioesterase OTUB2 showed immunodominance in NOD mice, and autoreactive CD8+ T cells targeting OTUB258-66 were diabetogenic in NOD mice. High glucose intake upregulated the expression of OTUB2 in the pancreas and amplified the OTUB258-66-specific CD8+ T cell response in NOD mice. Repeated administration with OTUB258-66 significantly reduced the incidence of T1D in NOD mice. This study not only provides an explanation for the role of ERS induced by environmental factors such as high glucose intake in promoting β cell autoimmune injury, but also provides a novel ERS-associated β cell autoantigens for developing specific immune intervention in prevention and treatment of T1D.

Genetic predisposition for beta cell fragility underlies type 1 and type 2 diabetes

Project description:Type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1D and T2D) share pathophysiological characteristics, yet mechanistic links have remained elusive. T1D results from autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, while beta cell failure in T2D is delayed and progressive. Here we find a new genetic component of diabetes susceptibility in T1D non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, identifying immune-independent beta cell fragility. Genetic variation in Xrcc4 and Glis3 alter the response of NOD beta cells to unfolded protein stress, enhancing the apoptotic and senescent fates. The same transcriptional relationships were observed in human islets, demonstrating the role for beta cell fragility in genetic predisposition to diabetes.
