Project description:The pancreas is an endodermal organ with exocrine and endocrine cell compartments. The embryonic development of the pancreas relies on the the coordinated action of pancreatic progenitors and its surrounding microenvironments. The most abundant cell type of the pancreatic microenviroment are mesenchymal cells. These cells are known to contribute to the pancreas organ growth, morphogenesis and differentiation. In this study, we used hybridization-based in situ sequencing (HybISS) to spatially characterize pancreatic progenitor populations and microenviroment cell types in the pancreas of the mouse embryos.

Project description:The pancreas is an exocrine and endocrine endodermal organ involved in digestion and glucose homeostasis. During embryogenesis, the anlagen of the pancreas arise from dorsal and ventral evaginations of the foregut that later fuse to form a single organ. In order to better understand the molecular genetics of early pancreas development, we sought to isolate markers that are uniquely expressed in this tissue. Microarray analysis was performed comparing dissected pancreatic buds, liver buds, and the stomach region of tadpole stage Xenopus embryos. A total of 912 genes were found to be differentially expressed between these organs during early stages of organogenesis. K-means clustering analysis predicted 120 of these genes to be specifically enriched in the pancreas. Of these, we report on the novel expression patterns of 24 genes. Among them, STXBP6 and KIRREL2 were expressed by the early tailbud stage, suggesting the possible involvement of novel signaling pathways in early pancreas development.

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.

On the role of lateral stabilization during early patterning in the pancreas

J. R. Soc. Interface 6 February 2013 vol. 10 no. 79 20120766
Abstract:
The cell fate decision of multi-potent pancreatic progenitor cells between the exocrine and endocrine lineages is regulated by Notch signalling, mediated by cell–cell interactions. However, canonical models of Notch-mediated lateral inhibition cannot explain the scattered spatial distribution of endocrine cells and the cell-type ratio in the developing pancreas. Based on evidence from acinar-to-islet cell transdifferentiation in vitro, we propose that lateral stabilization, i.e. positive feedback between adjacent progenitor cells, acts in parallel with lateral inhibition to regulate pattern formation in the pancreas. A simple mathematical model of transcriptional regulation and cell–cell interaction reveals the existence of multi-stability of spatial patterns whose simultaneous occurrence causes scattering of endocrine cells in the presence of noise. The scattering pattern allows for control of the endocrine-to-exocrine cell-type ratio by modulation of lateral stabilization strength. These theoretical results suggest a previously unrecognized role for lateral stabilization in lineage specification, spatial patterning and cell-type ratio control in organ development.

Project description:The surrounding microenvironment plays a crucial role in pancreas formation and differentiation. Nevertheless, its cellular composition has not been analyzed in depth and whether different cell populations exist within the mesenchyme of the developing pancreas is an open question. Similarly, the molecular mechanisms by which the mesenchyme coordinates and integrates various signaling pathways to stimulate epithelial pancreatic progenitor proliferation and differentiation remain elusive. Here, we investigate the cell composition and molecular network in the pancreatic mesenchyme, which promote pancreas differentiation. Whole transcriptome analysis and functional experiments showed that PBX in the mesenchyme promotes endocrine differentiation non-cell autonomously, acting at two different levels in the epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk: 1) the maintenance of BM integrity and ECM and 2) regulation of soluble molecules, including guidance cues. In conclusion, this study has identified distinct pancreatic mesenchymal niches and dissected their different roles during pancreatic development. This knowledge will be useful to improve current differentiation strategies based on ECM and soluble factors to generate β-cell equivalents from pluripotent cells for future cell replacement therapies of diabetes.

Project description:The pancreas is a complex organ consisting of differentiated cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), which together enable its functions, including exocrine secretion and hormone production. Alt-hough much is known about the intrinsic factors that control pancreas development, under-standing of the microenvironment surrounding pancreatic cells remains incomplete. This envi-ronment is composed of various cells and ECM components, which play a critical role in main-taining tissue organization and homeostasis. In this study, we applied mass spectrometry to identify and quantify the ECM composition of the developing pancreas at embryonic E14.5 and perinatal P1 stages. Our proteomic analysis identified 160 ECM proteins that displayed a dynamic expression profile with a shift in collagens and proteoglycans. Furthermore, we used atomic force microscopy to measure the biomechanical properties of the ECM and found that the whole pan-creas ECM is relatively soft with no significant change during pancreas maturation. Finally, we developed a decellularization protocol for P1 pancreatic tissues, which preserved the 3D organi-zation of the ECM and can be used for recellularization studies. Our findings provide insights into the composition and biomechanics of the pancreatic embryonic and perinatal ECM, offering a foundation for future studies investigating the dynamic interactions between the ECM and pan-creatic cells.

Project description:The exocrine compartment of the pancreas consisting of ducts and acini makes up most of the pancreatic tissue and is the site of origin for pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Our understanding of the initiation and progression of human PDAC is limited because of challenges associated with maintaining acinar cells in culture. Here we report the commitment of human pluripotent stem cells towards pancreatic duct-like and acini-like organoids that express properties of the neonatal exocrine pancreas. The expression of PDAC-oncogenes KRasG12D or GNASR201C induced cell lineage-specific effects where GNASR201C was more effective in ductal compared to acinar organoids. KRasG12D was more effective in modeling cancer in vivo when expressed in acinar cells and was associated with acinar to ductal metaplastic changes in culture and in vivo. Thus we demonstrate lineage tropism and plasticity in the human exocrine pancreas and identify a renewable source of ductal and acinar epithelia for understanding exocrine development and diseases.

Project description:FOXA pioneer transcription factors (TFs) associate with primed enhancers in endodermal organ precursors. Using a human stem cell model of pancreas differentiation, we here discover that only a subset of pancreatic enhancers is FOXA-primed, whereas the majority is unprimed and engages FOXA upon lineage induction. Primed enhancers are enriched for signal-dependent TF motifs and harbor abundant and strong FOXA motifs. Unprimed enhancers harbor fewer, more degenerate FOXA motifs, and FOXA recruitment to unprimed but not primed enhancers requires pancreatic TFs. Strengthening FOXA motifs at an unprimed enhancer near NKX6.1 renders FOXA recruitment pancreatic TF-independent, induces priming, and broadens the NKX6.1 expression domain. We make analogous observations about FOXA binding during hepatic and lung development. Our findings suggest a dual role for FOXA in endodermal organ development: First, FOXA facilitate signal-dependent lineage initiation via enhancer priming, and second, FOXA enforce organ cell type-specific gene expression via indirect recruitment by lineage-specific TFs.
