Project description:The present study was constructed to confirm previous findings that mice on a high fat diet (HFD) treated by subcutaneous injection with exenatide (EXE) at 3µg/kg once daily for 6 weeks develop exocrine pancreatic injury (Rouse et al. 2014). The present study included 12 weeks of EXE exposure at multiple concentrations (3, 10, or 30 Œºg/kg) with multiple endpoints (histopathology evaluations, immunoassay for cytokines, immunostaining of the pancreas, serum chemistries and measurement of trypsin, amylase, and, lipase, and gene expression profiles). Time- and dose-dependent exocrine pancreatic injury was observed in mice associated with EXE exposure in a HFD environment. The time- and dose-dependent morphological changes identified in the pancreas involved acinar cell injury and death (autophagy, apoptosis, necrosis, and atrophy), cell adaptations (hypertrophy and hyperplasia), and cell survival (regeneration) accompanied with varying degrees of inflammatory response leading to secondary injury in pancreatic blood vessels, ducts, and adipose tissues. Gene expression profiles supported the presence of increased signaling for cell survival and altered lipid metabolism. The potential for EXE to cause acute or early chronic pancreatic injury was identified in a HFD environment. In human disease, the influence of pancreatitis risk factors or pre-existing chronic pancreatitis on this injury potential requires further investigation. Male C57BL/6 mice 6 to 8 weeks of age were purchased from Harlan Laboratories (Frederick, MD). Mice were housed individually in an environmentally controlled room (18C-21C, 40%-70% relative humidity) with a twelve-hour light/dark cycle. Mice were initially fed Certified Purina Rodent Chow #5002 (Ralston Purina Co., St. Louis, MO) providing 63% of calories through carbohydrates, 24% from protein, and 13% from fat. Per the experimental design, mice were subsequently placed on a Teklad Custom Research Diet, TD.06415 (Harlan, Frederick, MD), providing 45% of calories through fats (36% saturated, 47% monounsaturated, 17% polyunsaturated), 36% from carbohydrates, and 19% from protein. Water and food were available ad libitum. Thorough out the experiment all mice were weighed weekly and dosing adjusted accordingly for each mouse. A cohort of eighty 6 to 8 week-old male C57BL6 mice were received from Harlan Laboratories. The cohort represented experimental time point of 12 weeks. The cohort was further divided into 4 exenatide (EXE) treatment groups (0, 3, 10, or 30 ug/kg) of 20 mice each. Initially, all mice were placed on HFD for six weeks without additional treatment and were then maintained on HFD for an additional 12 weeks while receiving daily subcutaneous injections of saline or EXE (Creative Peptides, Shirley, NY; 3, 10, or 30 ug/kg). At the 12 week timepoint, twenty-four hours following their final dose, the mice from the treatment cohort were anesthetized with isoflurane and euthanized by exsanguination with collection of blood for serum harvest. The pancreas from 12 mice in each cohort was preserved in 10% formalin for histology processing. The pancreas from 5 mice in each cohort was placed in RNAlater (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) for subsequent RNA extraction and the pancreas from 3 mice in each cohort was immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and then stored at -80C. Pancreas tissue was resected, preserved in RNALater, and stored at -80 C. After thawing, 2.5 mg of each sample were processed using miRNeasy Mini Kits (Cat # 217004) (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Samples were homogenized in 700 uL of Qiazol Lysis Reagent (Qiagen), for 5 minutes at 50 hz in a TissueLyser LT (Qiagen), and processed using the automated purification of total RNA on a Qiacube (Qiagen), using the 'Purification of total RNA, including small RNAs, from animal tissues & cells (aqueous phase), version 2 (April 2010)' standard protocol, as described in the miRNeasy Mini Handbook (1073008 07/2012) & http://www.qiagen.com/QIAcube/Standard/ProtocolView.aspx?StandardProtocolID=847.Mean yield per 2.5 mg of pancreas tissue was approximately 35 ug, determined by NanoDrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE). Average RIN values were approximately 5.4 +/- 1.4, as assayed by a 2100 Bioanalyzer Instrument (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA), using an Agilent RNA 6000 Nano Kit (cat # 5067-1511). This RIN mean was consistent with our previous experiences in RNA extraction from murine pancreatic tissue. The isolated RNA was labeled and gene expression analysis performed by Expression Analysis, Inc. (Durham, NC). The 3 samples with the highest RIN from each treatment group were used to probe treatment effect on gene expression. Total RNA samples (100 ng) were converted into cDNA using Ovation WGA FFPE System (NuGEN, Part No. 6200). The second strand cDNA is then purified with Agencourt RNAClean beads and followed by SPIA amplification. Amplified SPIA cDNA product is purified using Agencourt RNAClean beads and quantitated using a NanoDrop ND-8000 spectrophotometer. Target preparation was performed using 4 ug of amplified cDNA and the NuGEN FL-Ovation cDNA Biotin Module V2. Fragmented and biotin-labeled target was hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 microarrays. Raw gene expression data were first analyzed using ArrayTrack bioinformatics tool with robust multichip average algorithm and quantile normalization. Differentially expressed genes were defined by p < 0.05 and fold change > 1.3 in Welch t-test comparing treatment and control groups. Expression data were then imported to Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) tool for further analyses of pathway, biofunction, and toxicity using general and pancreas-specific knowledge bases.

Project description:Pancreatic ducts form an intricate network of tubules that secrete bicarbonate and drive acinar secretions into the duodenum. This network is formed by centroacinar cells, terminal, intercalated, intracalated ducts, and the main pancreatic duct. Ductal heterogeneity at the single-cell level has been poorly characterized. Here, we used scRNA-seq to comprehensively characterize mouse ductal heterogeneity at single-cell resolution of the entire ductal epithelium from centroacinar cells to the main duct. Moreover, we used organoid cultures, injury models and pancreatic tumor samples to interrogate the role of novel ductal populations in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis. In our study, we have identified the coexistence of 15 ductal populations within the healthy pancreas and characterized their organoid formation capacity and endocrine differentiation potential. Cluster isolation and subsequent culturing let us identify ductal cell populations with high organoid formation capacity and endocrine and exocrine differentiation potential in vitro, including Wnt-responsive-population, ciliated-population and FLRT3+ cells. Moreover, we have characterized the location of these novel ductal populations in healthy pancreas, chronic pancreatitis and tumor samples, hightlihgting a putative role of WNT-responsive, IFN-responsive and EMT-populations in pancreatic exocrine pathogenesis as their expression inceases in chronic pancreatitis and PanIN lesions. In light of our discovery of previously unidentified ductal populations, we unmask the potential roles of specific ductal populations in pancreas regeneration and exocrine pathogenesis.

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:BACKGROUND & AIMS: Acinar cells produce digestive enzymes that impede transcriptomic characterization of the exocrine pancreas. Thus, single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies of the pancreas underrepresent acinar cells relative to histological expectations, and a robust approach to capture pancreatic cell responses in disease states is needed. We sought to innovate a method that overcomes these challenges to accelerate study of the pancreas in health and disease. METHODS: We introduce FixNCut, a scRNA-seq approach where tissue is reversibly fixed with dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) prior to dissociation and single-cell preparation. We apply FixNCut to an established mouse model of acute pancreatitis, validate findings using GeoMx whole transcriptome atlas (WTA) profiling, and integrate our data with prior studies to benchmark our method in both mouse and human pancreas datasets. RESULTS: FixNCut achieves unprecedented definition of challenging pancreatic cells including acinar and immune populations in homeostasis and acute pancreatitis, and identifies changes in all major cell types during injury and recovery. We define the acinar transcriptome during homeostasis and acinar-to-ductal metaplasia and establish a unique gene set to measure deviation from normal acinar identity. We characterize pancreatic immune cells, and analysis of T-cell subsets reveals a polarization of the homeostatic pancreas towards type-2 immunity. We report immune responses during acute pancreatitis and recovery, including early neutrophil infiltration, expansion of dendritic cell subsets, and a substantial shift in the transcriptome of macrophages due to both resident macrophage activation and monocyte infiltration. CONCLUSIONS: FixNCut preserves pancreatic transcriptomes to uncover novel cell states during homeostasis and following pancreatitis, establishing a broadly applicable approach and reference atlas for study of pancreas biology and disease.

Project description:We found that BAP1 (BRCA1 Associated Protein-1) shows loss of heterozygosity in over 25% of pancreatic cancer patients and functions as tumor suppressor. Conditional deletion of Bap1 in murine pancreas led to genomic instability, accumulation of DNA damage, and an inflammatory response that evolved to pancreatitis with full penetrance. Concomitant expression of oncogenic KrasG12D led to malignant transformation and development of invasive and metastatic pancreatic cancer. At the molecular level, BAP1 maintains the integrity of the exocrine pancreas by regulating genomic stability and its loss confers sensitivity to radio- and platinum-based therapies.

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:Pancreatitis is more frequent in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) although the underlying cause is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that ongoing beta-cell stress and apoptosis in T2DM induces ductal tree proliferation, particularly the pancreatic duct gland (PDG) compartment, and thus potentially obstructs exocrine outflow. PDG replication was increased two-fold in human pancreas from individuals with T2DM (P<0.01), and was associated with increased pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanINs) (P<0.05), lesions associated with pancreatic inflammation and with the potential to obstruct pancreatic outflow. Increased PDG replication (p<0.05) in the prediabetic HIP rat model of T2DM was concordant with increased beta-cell stress but preceding metabolic derangement. Moreover, the most abundantly expressed chemokines released by the islets in response to beta-cell stress in T2DM, CXCL1, 4 and 10, induced proliferation in human pancreatic ductal epithelium (p<0.05). Also, the diabetes medications that are reported as potential modifiers for the risk of pancreatitis in T2DM modulated PDG proliferation accordingly. We conclude that chronic stimulation and proliferation of the PDG compartment of the pancreas in response to islet inflammation in T2DM is a novel mechanism that serves as a link to the increased risk for pancreatitis in T2DM and may potentially be modified by currently available diabetes therapy.
