ChemPerturb-Seq Screen to Identify Small Molecules Enhancing Human Beta Cell Survival After Subcutaneous Transplantation

ABSTRACT: Although high throughput/content chemical screens have been employed to characterize cellular response to small molecules treatment, traditional chemical screens have only focused on a single assay per screen, making them labor intensive and costly. Here, we combined a chemical screen with scRNA-seq to perform Chemical Perturb-Seq (ChemPerturb-Seq), enabling a systematic analysis of cellular responses and molecular changes of human beta cells upon individual hormone treatments. Furthermore, we developed an AI-powered website, ChemPerturbDB, which provides user friendly open-access analysis of this extensive dataset. Next, we performed an in vivo barcoded screen and developed a hormone cocktail, including Insulin growth factor-1, Lipotropin, and Prostaglandin E2. Pre-conditioning human beta cells and primary islets with this hormone cocktail significantly enhanced their function and survival when transplanted subcutaneously to female, but not to male mice. Combining scRNA-seq and ChemPerturb-seq, we identified two additional moleculeshormones, serotonin and histamine, that promote the function of human islets when transplanted subcutaneously to male mice. Together, we not only generated a comprehensive ChemPerturb-Seq dataset, which can be utilized to systematically investigate the effects of hormones on human beta cells, but also developed hormone cocktails that enhance the survival of human beta cells following subcutaneous transplantation. With further validation, this, which could be applied to improve the current FDA-approved islet transplantation procedure.

in vivo environment swiftly restricts human pancreatic progenitors towards monohormonal identity via a HNF1A/HNF4A mechanism

Project description:Generating insulin-producing β-cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells is a promising cell replacement therapy aimed at improving or curing certain forms of diabetes. Nevertheless, despite important recent advances, the efficient production of functionally mature β-cells is yet to be achieved, with most current differentiation protocols generating a heterogeneous population comprising of subpopulation of cells expressing different islet hormones, including hybrid polyhormonal entities. A solution to this issue is transplanting end-stages differentiating cells into living hosts, which was demonstrated to majorly improve β-cell maturation. Yet, to date, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the transplanted cells response to the in vivo environment exposure was not yet properly characterized. Here we use global proteomics and large-scale imaging techniques aimed at demultiplexing and filtering cellular processes and molecular signatures modulated by the immediate in vivo effect. We show that in vivo exposure swiftly confines in vitro generated human pancreatic progenitors to single hormone expression. The global proteome landscape of the transplanted cells was closer to the one presented by native human islets, especially in regard to energy metabolism and redox balance. Moreover our study indicates a possible link between these processed and certain epigenetic regulators involved in maintenance and propagation of the islet cells identity. Pathway analysis predicted HNF1A and HNF4A as key regulators controlling the in vivo islet-promoting response, with experimental evidence confirming their involvement in confining islet cell identity. To our knowledge this is the first study demultiplexing the immediate response of the transplanted pancreatic progenitors to in vivo exposure.

Successful Preclinical Islet Transplantation in the Subcutaneous Space for Type 1 Diabetes

Project description:The intrahepatic milieu is inhospitable to intraportal islet allografts, limiting their applicability to ameliorate Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Islet viability in the subcutaneous space represents an unfulfilled paradigm that is crucial to ensure widespread adoption and safety of clinical islet transplantation. Herein we report that human islets transplanted subcutaneously uniformly promote long-term euglycemia when admixed with a device-free Islet Viability Matrix (IVM), through a previously unknown anti-apoptotic mechanism.

Successful transplantation of islets into inguinal subcutaneous white adipose tissue

Project description:Islet transplantation is an attractive treatment for patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and currently the liver is the favored transplantation site. However, an alternative site is desirable because of the low efficiency of hepatic transplantation, requiring 2-3 donors for a single recipient, and because the transplanted islets cannot be accessed or retrieved. Here we describe a novel site for islet transplantation, the inguinal subcutaneous white adipose tissue. In this site, transplanted islets are engrafted as clusters and function to reverse diabetes in mice. Importantly, transplanted islets can be visualized by CT and are easily retrievable, and allograft rejection is preventable by blockade of co-stimulatory signals. Of much interest, the efficiency of islet transplantation is superior to the liver, with increased mass of transplanted β cells. Furthermore, transplanted human islets function to reverse diabetes in immunodeficient mice. Thus, this adipose tissue site may be ideal for clinical islet transplantation.

RNA Seq of IAPP expressing SC-β cells

Project description:Islet transplantation for treatment of diabetes is limited by availability of donor islets and requirements for immunosuppression. Stem cell-derived islets might circumvent these issues. SC-islets effectively control glucose metabolism post transplantation, but do not yet achieve full function in vitro with currently published differentiation protocols. We aimed to identify markers of mature subpopulations of SC-β cells by studying transcriptional changes associated with in vivo maturation of SC-β cells using RNA-seq and co-expression network analysis. The β cell-specific hormone islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) emerged as the top candidate to be such a marker. IAPP+ cells had more mature β cell gene expression and higher cellular insulin content than IAPP- cells in vitro. IAPP+ INS+ cells were more stable in long-term culture than IAPP- INS+ cells and retained insulin expression after transplantation into mice. Finally, we conducted a small molecule screen to identify compounds that enhance IAPP expression. Aconitine up-regulated IAPP and could help to optimize differentiation protocols.

Protective unfolded protein response in human pancreatic beta cells transplanted into mice

Project description:Islet transplantation exposes beta cells to mild hyperglycemia and to the abnormal environment of the transplant site. These conditions may affect beta cells and induce the expression of genes involved in beta cell damage. Gene expression profile of human beta cells exposed to mild hyperglycemia by transplantation into ICR-SCID mice was evaluated and compared with the gene profile of beta cells obtained from non-diabetic subjects. We found that the transplanted beta cells showed an unfolded protein response (UPR). There was upregulation of many genes of the IRE-1 pathway that provide protection against the deleterious effects of ER stress. Among them, increased expression of genes coding XBP-1; the chaperone proteins PDIA4, Bip, and Grp94; and the ER degradation proteins EDEM1 and EDEM2. ERdj4 and DNA-JC3 were also upregulated. JUK had downregulated expression. The PERK and ATF-6 arms of the ER stress response had many downregulated genes in transplanted islets. The PERK's substrates, EIF2A and NRF2, showed markedly reduced expression, as downregulated was the expression of CReP. Other downregulated genes included HERP2, IRS-2, CHOP and C/EBP-beta. In the transplanted beta cells there was significantly decreased expression of ATF-6, as well as the downstream gene products CHOP and HERP2. There was increased expression of HRD1, which exerts an antiapoptotic effect by degrading unfolded proteins. In conclusion human beta cells in a transplant site had UPR changes in gene expression that protect against the proapoptotic effects of unfolded proteins. Frozen sections were obtained from pancreases of non-diabetic subjects at surgery and from human islets transplanted into ICR-SCID mice for 4 weeks. Î² cell enriched samples were obtained by laser capture microdissection. RNA was extracted, amplified and subjected to microarray analysis.

Checkpoint Kinase 2 Controls Insulin Secretion and Glucose Homeostasis

Project description:After the discovery of insulin a century ago, extensive work has been done to unravel the molecular network regulating insulin secretion. Here, we performed a chemical screen and identified AZD7762, a compound that potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) of human β cell line, healthy and type 2 diabetic (T2D) human islets, and primary cynomolgus macaque islets. In vivo studies in diabetic mouse models and cynomolgus macaques demonstrated that AZD7762 enhances GSIS and improves glucose tolerance. Furthermore, genetic manipulation confirmed that ablation of CHEK2 in human β cells results in increased insulin secretion. Consistently, high-fat-diet fed Chk2-/- mice show elevated insulin secretion and improved glucose clearance. Finally, an untargeted metabolic profiling demonstrated the key role of the CHEK2-PP2A-PLK1-G6PD-PPP pathway in insulin secretion. This study successfully identifies a previously unknown insulin secretion regulating pathway that is conserved across rodents, cynomolgus macaques and human β cells in both healthy and T2D conditions.

Expression data from islets of non-pregnant and pregnant PRLR+/+ and PRLR-/- mice

Project description:ABSTRACT:Pregnancy requires a higher functional beta cell mass and this is associated with profound changes in the gene expression profile of pancreatic islets. Taking Tph1 as a sensitive marker for pregnancy-related islet mRNA expression in female mice, we previously identified prolactin receptors and placental lactogen as key signalling molecules. Since beta cells from male mice also express prolactin receptors, the question arose whether male and female islets have the same phenotypic resilience at the mRNA level during pregnancy. We addressed this question in vitro, by using islet tissue culture with placental lactogen and in vivo, by transplanting male or female islets into female acceptor mice. Additionally, the islet mRNA expression of pregnant prolactin receptor deficient mice was compared with that of their pregnant wild-type littermates. When cultured with placental lactogen, or transplanted in female recipients that became pregnant (day 12.5), male islets induced the ‘islet pregnancy gene signature’, which we defined as the 12 highest induced genes in non-transplanted female islets at day 12.5 of pregnancy. In addition, serotonin immunoreactivity was also induced in these male transplanted islets at day 12.5 of pregnancy. In order to investigate the importance of prolactin receptors in these mRNA changes we used a prolactin receptor deficient mouse model. For the 12 genes of the signature, which are highly induced in control pregnant mice, no significant induction of mRNA transcripts was found at day 9.5 of pregnancy. Together, our results support the key role of placental lactogen as a circulating factor that can trigger the pregnancy mRNA profile in male and female beta cells. Islets were isolated from non-prengant (NP) and pregnant (day 9.5) PRLR+/+ and PRLR-/- mice for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. For every condition 3 biological replicates were used.
