Investigating the role of alpha-catenin-cholesterol biosynthesis axis during islet development

ABSTRACT: The major function of alpha-catenin (encoded by Ctnna1) is linking the cadherin-catenin complex to the actin cytoskeleton, thereby regulating cell adhesion, Mechanotransduction, and tissue integrity. Alpha-catenin is a critical component of adherens junctions and plays essential roles in maintaining cellular architecture, transducing mechanical signals, and preserving tissue homeostasis. In this project, we analyze how Ctnna1 regulates islet function and analyze the gene expression profiling related to islet function, structure, and adhesion. We selectively ablate alpha-catenin (Ctnna1) in endocrine cells of murine pancreas. We isolated islets and performed mRNA profiles from 8-week-old wild type (WT) and Ngn3-Cre; Ctnna1 flox/flox (KO) mice (N=6). We mapped about 70 million sequence reads per mouse sample. Our results showed that 115 genes were upregulated and 292 were downregulated by alpha-catenin ablation.

Investigating the role of cell adhesion molecule alpha-catenin during islet development

Project description:Purpose: Alpha catenin mediates cell-cell adhesion through the cadherin-catenin complex. It is important to maintain cell-cell adhesion and tissue organization. In this study we explore how cell-cell adhesion mediated by alpha catenin regulates islet aggregation and analyze the gene expression profiling related with islet adhesion, structure and function. Methods: We selective ablate alpha catenin (Ctnna1) in endocrine cells of murine pancreas. Total RNA was extracted from pancreatic islets isolated from 8 weeks old mice of Ngn3-Cre; Ctnna1flox/flox and Wild-type controls. There were four animals for each group. Results: We mapped about 60 million sequence reads per mouse sample. Our results showed that 245 genes were upregulated and 74 were downregulated by alpha catenin ablation. Conclusions: Our results indicate that alpha catenin is required for normal islet aggregation and cellular composition.

Investigating the role of the sterol-responsive element-binding proteins 2 (SREBP2) during islet development

Project description:The major function of the sterol-responsive element-binding proteins 2 (SREBP2) is regulating Cholesterol biosynthesis. Cholesterol is important component of the cell membrane, works as signaling molecules and is essential to maintain cellular function. In this project we analyze how SREBP2 regulates islet function and analyze the gene expression profiling related with islet function, structure and adhesion. We selective ablate the sterol-responsive element-binding proteins 2 (SREBP2) in endocrine cells of murine pancreas. Pancreas mRNA profiles of 8-weeks old wild type (WT) and Ngn3-Cre; Srebf2 flox/flox mice. We mapped about 70 million sequence reads per mouse sample. Our results showed that 25 genes were upregulated and 196 were downregulated by SREBP2 ablation.

Transcriptional program for induced delta cell on day10

Project description:Direct lineage conversion of adult cells is a promising approach for regenerative medicine. A major challenge of lineage conversion is to generate specific subtypes of cells, closely related cells with distinct properties. The pancreatic islets contain three major hormone-secreting endocrine subtypes: insulin+ β-cells, glucagon+ α-cells, and somatostatin+ δ-cells. We previously reported that a combination of three transcription factors, Ngn3, Mafa, and Pdx1, directly reprogram pancreatic acinar cells to β-cells. We now show that acinar cells can be converted to δ-like and α-like cells by Ngn3 and Ngn3+Mafa respectively. Thus, three major islet endocrine subtypes can be derived by acinar reprogramming. Ngn3 promotes establishment of a generic endocrine state in acinar cells at the onset of reprogramming in addition to promoting δ-specification. Mafa and Pdx1 suppress δ-specification in α- and β-cell formation. These studies identify a set of defined factors whose combinatorial actions reprogram acinar cells to distinct islet endocrine subtypes in vivo. induced beta cells samples at day 10 collected for the microarray

Transcriptional profiling of Ngn3-dependent pancreatic endocrine differentiation at E15.5

Project description:This experiment used RNA-Seq technology to explore gene expression in mouse Ngn3^GFP/+ [het] FACS sorted pancreatic cells at E15.5 (commited endocrine progenitor cells) and in Ngn3^GFP/GFP [null] at E15.5 (defective endocrine progenitor cells). This experiment is designed to understand the gene expression alteration in the endocrine lineage at different embryonic days. The aim is to understand both Ngn3 dependent and independent gene expression profiles so as to reveal the instructive signals that specfy the collective endocrine islet cell fate or specific islet cell type.

The expression order determines the pioneer functions of Ngn3 and NeuroD1 in pancreatic endocrine differentiation

Project description:This study investigates the roles of Ngn3 and NeuroD1 in pancreatic endocrine differentiation. Using a new mouse model, we mapped NGN3 binding sites by CUT&RUN and demonstrated its pioneering role in making chromatin accessible by scATAC-seq. According to conditional knock-out and over-expression experiments and scRNA-seq, we domonstrated that NGN3's pioneering function was dose tolerance, with low doses sufficing, while NeuroD1, as a conventional TF, has no significant pioneer effects under normal phenomena. But when NGN3 was absent, NeuroD1 can alternatively acted as a pioneer factor, and sequential expression of NeuroD1 ahead of Ngn3 predominantly drives α-cell generation.

Pdx1 maintains β-cell identity and function by repressing an α-cell program

Project description:To get a more complete picture of the transcriptional changes associated with Pdx1 loss in β-cells, we conducted an mRNA microarray comparing normal islet β-cells and a-cells to the reprogrammed cells from PKO mice. Islet beta cells are from mice which has a single copy of Pdx1 flox (Pdx1L/+) allele, but is considered normal based on normal islet morphology, gene profiling, and euglycemic status. We chose to use heterozygous mice as control to avoid the litter effect. Islet alpha cells are from normal mice.
