Beta cell markers of aging have heterogeneous distribution in islets and are induced by insulin resistance

ABSTRACT: Our hypothesis was that at any given point in time, islets will contain differing populations of beta cells at different stages of their lifecycle, with further changes occurring with metabolic stress and aging. We examined subpopulations of beta cells isolated from MIP-GFP mice on the basis of their insulin transcriptional activity and in their expression of p16Ink4a. In addition, using aging C57Bl/6 mice as a model, markers of beta cell aging were identified and validated: Igf1r and Cd99 expression increased with age, whereas Kcnq5 was decreased with age. These markers were correlated with an age-related decline in function. The functional aging of beta cells was accelerated by S961, an antagonist to the insulin receptor, which induced insulin resistance. Particularly surprising was the finding of marked islet heterogeneity as demonstrated with the marked staining differences of the markers: Igf1r, Cd99 and Kcnq5. These novel findings about beta cell and islet heterogeneity, and how they change with age, open up an entirely new set of questions that must be addressed about the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. The present study has identified new markers of aging in beta cells and found that the expression of these and other markers can be increased by insulin resistance. This provides insight into how insulin resistance might accelerate the death of beta cells. In addition, striking heterogeneity among islets was found, which opens up new ways to think about islet biology and the pathogenesis of T2D.

Decreased IGF1R Attenuates Senescence and Improves Function in Pancreatic beta-Cells

Project description:We previously reported that increased expression of IGF1R in mouse and human beta-cells is a marker of older beta-cells; however, its contribution to age-related dysfunction and cellular senescence remains to be determined. In this study, we explored the direct role of IGF1R in beta-cell function and senescence using inducible beta-cell specific IGF1R knockdown (betaIgf1rKD) mice. Adult betaIgf1rKD mice showed improved glucose clearance and glucose-induced insulin secretion, accompanied by decreased p21Cip1 protein expression in beta-cells. RNASeq of islets isolated from these betaIgf1rKD mice revealed restoration of 3 signaling pathways known to be downregulated by aging: sulfide oxidation, autophagy, and mTOR signaling. Additionally, deletion of IGF1R in mouse beta-cells increased transcription of genes important for maintaining beta-cell identity and function, such as Mafa, Nkx6.1, and Kcnj11, while decreasing senescence-related genes, such as Cdkn2a, Il1b, and Serpine 1. These results suggest that IGF1R signaling plays a causal role in aging-induced beta-cell dysfunction.

Integrated in vivo quantitative proteomics and nutrient tracing reveals age-related metabolic rewiring of pancreatic beta-cell function

Project description:Aging is associated with fundamental changes in pancreatic β-cell physiology; yet, the mechanisms that drive these age-related changes are poorly understood. We performed comprehensive proteomic profiling of pancreatic islets from adolescent and old mice. The analysis revealed striking differences in abundance of enzymes controlling glucose metabolism not reflected at the transcript level. We show that these changes in protein abundance are associated with increased activity of the amplifying pathway of insulin secretion. The amplifying pathway stimulates insulin secretion through coupling factors produced during glucose metabolism. Nutrient tracing and targeted metabolomics demonstrate accelerated accumulation of glucose-derived metabolites and coupling factors in aged islets, indicating that age-related changes in glucose metabolism contribute to the improved response of β-cells to glucose with age. Together, our study provides the first in-depth characterization of changes in the islet proteome during aging and establishes metabolic rewiring as an important mechanism for age-associated changes in β-cell function.

Project description:Individual organisms age at different rates, however, it remains unclear how aging alters the properties of individual cells. Here we show that zebrafish pancreatic beta-cells exhibit heterogeneity in both gene expression and proliferation with age. Individual beta-cells show marked variability in transcripts involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress, inhibition of growth factor signaling and inflammation, including NF-kB signaling. Using a reporter line, we show that NF-kB signaling is indeed activated heterogeneously with age. Notably, beta-cells with higher NF-kB activity proliferate less compared to neighbors with lower activity. Furthermore, NF-kB-signalinghigh beta-cells from younger islets upregulate socs2, a gene naturally expressed in beta-cells from older islets. In turn, socs2 can inhibit proliferation cell-autonomously. NF-kB activation correlates with the recruitment of tnfα-expressing immune cells, pointing towards a role for the islet microenvironment in this activity. We propose that aging is heterogeneous across individual beta-cells and identify NF-kB signaling as a marker of heterogeneity.

Expression data from rosiglitazone treated, rosiglitazone withdrawal and untreated control Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats.

Project description:Insulin resistance and islet failure are the two etiological roots of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and understanding global islet gene expression may provide insight into the mechanisms that regulate islet function. In this study we systematically investigated the gene expression profile and proliferative response of islets to insulin sensitization, insulin resistance, and islet failure. Five-week old male Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats (n=24) were randomized into one of three groups: four-week rosiglitazone treated, rosiglitazone withdrawal, or untreated controls. Affymetrix GeneChip Rat Genome 230 2.0 gene arrays were performed on isolated islets to measure the gene expression profile of islets at 9, 11, and 13 weeks of age.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Transcriptomes in fetal and 2 weeks old rat islets

Project description:Unlike adult β-cells, fetal and neonatal islets are functional immature and have blunted glucose responsiveness and decreased insulin secretion in response to stimuli. Pancreatic islets are a mixture of different cell types. Study of transcriptomes from intact islets would identify novel molecular mechanisms controlling islet functional development. At e19 and 2 weeks of age, pancreatic islets were isolated and total RNA were extracted for RNA-Seq study. Gene expression profiles were compared in the study.

Integrated in vivo quantitative proteomics and nutrient tracing reveals age-related metabolic rewiring of pancreatic B-cell function

Project description:Aging is associated with fundamental changes in pancreatic B-cell physiology; yet, the mechanisms that drive these age-related changes are poorly understood.

Genome-wide effect of islet isolation and in vitro culture on gene expression profile of pancreatic beta-cells enriched tissue.

Project description:It is known that the stresses encountered during islet isolation have deleterious effects on beta-cell physiology. The nature of these effects, however, is incompletely known, partly due to the heterogeneity of islet preparations. The objective was to assess the genome-wide effect of islet isolation and in-vitro culture on beta-cell transcriptome. Beta cells identified by their intrinsic autofluorescence, were captured from donor pancreas and isolated islets using Laser Capture Microdissection. Beta cells from donor pancreas serve as the control. Our results indicated induction of a strong inflammatory response induced by islet isolation which continues during in vitro culture manifested by upregulation of several cytokines, chemokines and their receptors. IL-8 was induced by 3.6-fold and 56-fold in fresh and 3-days cultured islets respectively. Concordantly, several pancreatic progenitor cell-specific transcription factors like were upregulated in cultured islets, suggesting progressive transformation of mature beta-cell phenotype toward an immature endocrine cell phenotype. There are three sample types in our experiment; 1) beta-cells captured from the frozen sections of donor pancreas n=8, 2) beta cells extracted from islets frozen immediately after isolation (d0 islets) n=8 and, 3) beta cells extracted from isolated islets frozen after culturing for 3 days (d3 islets) n=5. For the analysis, beta cells from pancreas were considered as the reference point.

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.

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.

Epigenomic plasticity enables human pancreatic alpha to beta cell reprogramming

Project description:Insulin-secreting β cells and glucagon-secreting α cells maintain physiological blood glucose levels, and their malfunction drives diabetes development. Using ChIP sequencing and RNA sequencing analysis, we determined the epigenetic and transcriptional landscape of human pancreatic α, β, and exocrine cells. We found that, compared with exocrine and β cells, differentiated α cells exhibited many more genes bivalently marked by the activating H3K4me3 and repressing H3K27me3 histone modifications. This was particularly true for β cell signature genes involved in transcriptional regulation. Remarkably, thousands of these genes were in a monovalent state in β cells, carrying only the activating or repressing mark. Our epigenomic findings suggested that α to β cell reprogramming could be promoted by manipulating the histone methylation signature of human pancreatic islets. Indeed, we show that treatment of cultured pancreatic islets with a histone methyltransferase inhibitor leads to colocalization of both glucagon and insulin and glucagon and insulin promoter factor 1 (PDX1) in human islets and colocalization of both glucagon and insulin in mouse islets. Thus, mammalian pancreatic islet cells display cell-type–specific epigenomic plasticity, suggesting that epigenomic manipulation could provide a path to cell reprogramming and novel cell replacement-based therapies for diabetes. Pancreatic islets were collected post-mortem from 6 human donors and subjected to FACS to separate populations of alpha, beta, and exocrine cells. Depending on the availability of resulting material, sorted islet cell populations were used for H3K4me3, H3K27me3 ChIP-seq, or RNA-seq analysis. All ChIP-seq samples have a corresponding input from the same sample.
