Epigenomic landscapes of human primary pancreatic cell types

ABSTRACT: Intensive efforts are focused on identifying regulators of human pancreatic islet cell growth and maturation to accelerate development of therapies for diabetes. After birth, islet cell growth and function are dynamically regulated; however, establishing these age-dependent changes in humans has been challenging. Here we describe a multimodal strategy for isolating pancreatic endocrine and exocrine cells from children and adults to identify age-dependent gene expression and chromatin changes on a genomic scale. These profiles revealed distinct proliferative and functional states of islet alpha-cells or beta-cells, and histone modifications underlying age-dependent gene expression changes. Expression of SIX2 and SIX3, transcription factors without prior known functions in the pancreas and linked to fasting hyperglycemia risk, increased with age specifically in human islet beta-cells. SIX2 and SIX3 were sufficient to enhance insulin content or secretion in immature beta-cells. Our work provides a unique resource to study human-specific regulators of islet cell maturation and function.

Exploring Six2 distal enhancer interactome in developing mouse kidney

Project description:The Six2 distal enhancer regulates expression of the 60 kb-downstream gene Six2, but does not regulate the Six3 gene which is 70 kb further downstream. CTCF ChIP-Seq and Hi-C data points to a chromatin domain boundary between Six2 and Six3 which may intervene interaction between Six2-DE and Six3. The irradiation-induced Brachyrrhine (Br) mutant allele was found to carry a 320 kb genomic inversion that includes Six2 and Six3, but not Six2DE. This repositioned Six2 under Six3 enhancer control and Six3 under Six2 distal enhancer control. Consistent with this, Six3 is ectopically expressed in Br/+ kidneys and Six2 expression is reduced. To test whether there is a change of interaction between Six2 distal enhancer and Six2 or Six3 promoters, we performed 4C-Seq in E16.5 wildtyp or Br/+ mice nephron-genic zone cells.

Transcriptional profiling of pancreatic beta cells during maturation and with function-inactivating mutations

Project description:Islet β-cells from newborn mammals need a maturation process to become mature functional beta cells. The detailed molecular mechanisms were not completely understood. This study was designed to reveal the dynamic gene expression changes during pancreatic beta-cell maturation in postnatal mice. We also want to understand how genetic mutations that impair beta-cell function change the genetic networks involved in the beta-cell maturation process. For these aims, pancreatic beta cells were isolated at P1 islets based on the expression of a MipeGFP transgene in a genetic background with pancreatic specific inactivation of Myt1, Myt1L, and St18 (denoted as MytDelpanc; MipeGFP).

Glucocorticoid signaling in pancreatic islets modulates gene regulatory programs and genetic risk of type 2 diabetes

Project description:Glucocorticoids are key regulators of glucose homeostasis and pancreatic islet function. In this study we used ATAC-seq and RNA-seq to map chromatin accessibility and gene expression from eleven primary human islet samples cultured in vitro with the glucocorticoid dexamethasone at multiple doses and durations. We identified thousands of accessible chromatin sites and genes with significant changes in activity in response to glucocorticoids. Chromatin sites up-regulated in glucocorticoid signaling were prominently enriched for glucocorticoid receptor binding sites and up-regulated genes were enriched for ion transport and lipid metabolism, whereas down-regulated chromatin sites and genes were enriched for inflammatory, stress response and proliferative processes. Genetic variants associated with glucose levels and T2D risk were enriched in glucocorticoid-responsive chromatin sites, including fine-mapped variants at 51 known signals. Among fine-mapped variants in glucocorticoid-responsive chromatin, a likely casual variant at the 2p21 locus had glucocorticoid-dependent allelic effects on beta cell enhancer activity and affected SIX2 and SIX3 expression. Our results provide a comprehensive map of islet regulatory programs in response to glucocorticoids through which we uncover a role for islet glucocorticoid signaling in mediating genetic risk of T2D.

A Single-cell Transcriptomic Atlas of Primate Pancreatic Islet Aging

Project description:Aging-related degeneration of pancreatic islet cells contributes to impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes. Endocrine cells age heterogeneously, complicating the effort to unravel the molecular drives underlying endocrine aging. To overcome these obstacles, we undertook single-cell RNA sequencing of pancreatic islet cells obtained from young and aged non-diabetic cynomolgus monkeys. Despite sex differences and increased single-cell level transcriptional variations, aged β-cells showed increased unfolded protein response (UPR) along with the accumulation of protein aggregates. We observed transcriptomic dysregulation of UPR components linked to canonical ATF6 and IRE1 signaling, comprising adaptive UPR during pancreatic aging. Notably, we found age-related β-cell-specific upregulation of HSP90B1, an ER-located chaperone, impeded high glucose-induced insulin secretion. Our work decodes aging-associated transcriptomic changes that underlie pancreatic islet functional decay at the single-cell resolution and indicates that targeting UPR components may prevent loss of proteostasis, suggesting an avenue for therapies to delay β-cell aging and prevent aging-related diabetes.

Gene expression in mature and immature human ES-derived beta cells, and sorted beta-cells from adult islets

Project description:This submission comprises RNA-Seq profiling of in vivo differentiated pancreatic beta cells types and primary islet-derived pancreatic beta cell sources. The study reports that re-aggregation of immature beta-like cells (d20Beta) and removal of progenitor cells leads to further maturation in vitro resulting in beta-cells (eBCBeta) that are closer to human primary islet-derived beta-cells(IsletBeta). As a control stem cell derived spheres were dissocated, reassociated and taken through till the end of the protocol (NECBeta).
