Project description:Gene expression patterns that form the basis for the observed variation in islet density among porcine pancreata were examined. RNA-Seq analysis was performed to investigate differential gene expression of intact porcine pancreas samples and pure cultured islet samples according to a density of islets. Most prominently upregulated genes in the islet-rich pancreas samples included GP2 and GCG. The mRNA expression of pure islet cell samples from both groups were statistically identical. This transcriptome RNA-Seq analysis showed that pancreatic islet density is associated with GP2 expression.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to identify mRNA transcripts encoding tissue restricted cell surface proteins on human islet tissue that, in turn, might serve as markers for determination of healthy, transplanted and/or diseased islet cell mass. Using oligonucleotide microarrays and clinical grade human islets, we obtained the gene expression profiles of cultured normal islet tissue and compared them to profiles of islets treated with interferon alpha 2 beta, islet-depleted exocrine pancreas, pooled whole pancreas, pooled liver and pooled kidney tissue. Data set filtering and comparisons of gene expression patterns revealed a small set of genes corresponding to transmembrane or membrane associated proteins with limited tissue distributions (present in Islets of Langerhans and, often, central or peripheral nervous system tissues, but absent from exocrine pancreas, liver, kidney and other tissues) with possible utility as novel islet markers. Under the influence of IFN alpha, some of these transcripts show differential expression as confirmed by real time PCR. In addition, we found significant differential expression of two sets of transcripts expressed in islets but with broad tissue distributions, non classical MHC class I b (HLA-G and F) and MHC Class II locus (e.g. HLA-DR alpha and HLA-DQ alpha and beta).

Project description:ARID1A is a tumor suppressor gene mutated in 7-10% of pancreatic cancer patients. However, its function in pancreas development and endocrine regulation is unclear. We generated mice that lack Arid1a expression in the pancreas. Our results showed that deletion of the Arid1a gene in mice caused a reduction in islet numbers and insulin production, both of which are associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) phenotype.we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing analysis (ChIP-seq) to study genome-wide HDAC6 occupancy in the control and Arid1a-depleted islet cells.

Project description:Human pancreatic islets were isolated from pancreas of deceased donors by Ricordi's procedure and cultured in CMRL 1066 medium additioned with human albumin. EVs were isolated from conditioned medium derived from islet culture after isolation. Once isolated, RNA of islets and islet-derived EVs was extracted and analyzed for microRNA expression within 48 hours after isolation.

Project description:We anticipated that the identification of cis-regulatory regions active in pancreatic islets would help increase our understanding of islet biology and the pathology of diabetes. Towards this end we used histone H3 lysine 4 monomethylation-based nucleosome predictions genome-wide, in conjunction with binding data for PDX1, FOXA2, MAFA, and NEUROD1, to identify 3,654 putative enhancers that are H3K4me1-enriched uniquely in islets as compared to 14 other tissue or cell-types. We show that these islet-specific enhancers are associated with genes with significantly higher islet specificity than genes associated with non-specific enhancers. Further, islet-specific enhancers were not enriched for typical active or repressive histone methylations in embryonic stem cells and liver, suggesting they are formed by de novo histone methylation during pancreas development. We also identify a subset of enhancers bivalently marked by both H3K4me1 and H3K27me3 in adult pancreatic islets. Further, we show that islet-specific enhancers triple- or quadruple- bound by PDX1, MAFA, NEUROD1 and/or FOXA2 are associated with genes with particularly high islet-specificity, and that these loci are enriched in regions with functional activity in islet cell types. Finally, we demonstrate that cytokines reduce H3K4me1 enrichment levels at selected triple- or quadruple-bound islet-specific enhancers, suggesting that epigenetic changes may contribute to cytokine-induced b-cell dysfunction.

Project description:Pancreatic islet endocrine cell and endothelial cell (EC) interactions mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) signaling are important for islet endocrine cell differentiation and the formation of highly vascularized islets. To dissect how VEGF-A signaling modulates intra-islet vasculature and innervation, islet microenvironment, and β cell mass, we transiently increased VEGF-A production by β cells. VEGF-A induction dramatically increased the number of intra-islet ECs but led to β cell loss. After withdrawal of the VEGF-A stimulus, β cell mass, function, and islet structure normalized as a result of a robust, but transient, burst in proliferation of pre-existing β cells. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (MΦs) recruited to the site of β cell injury were crucial for the β cell proliferation, which was independent of pancreatic location and circulating factors such as glucose. Identification of the signals responsible for the proliferation of adult, terminally differentiated β cells will improve strategies aimed at β cell regeneration and expansion. Examination of RNA profiles from isolated whole islets from RIP-rtTA; TetO-VEGF-A mice with no doxycycline (Dox) treatment (3 samples) and after 1 week of Dox (3 sample); and islet-derived macrophages (3 samples) and endothelial cells (3 samples) isolated from dispersed purified islets from RIP-rtTA; TetO-VEGF-A mice after 1 week Dox treatment by fluorescence-activated cell sorting using antibodies against CD11b and CD31, respectively.

Project description:T cells infiltrate pancreatic islets during the progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D) but their differentiation states have not been completely defined. We used unbiased single-cell RNA sequencing analyses to gain further insight into the phenotypic complexity of islet-infiltrating T cells in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. In the CD4 T cell compartment, we identified naïve, memory, and regulatory T cells, as well as multiple Il21 expressing effector subsets positive for markers indicative of Th1 and Tfh cells. In CD8 T cells, we identified two activated subsets in addition to naïve cells. The two activated islet CD8 T cell subsets respectively resemble the self-renewing progenitor cells and the terminally differentiated/exhausted effectors during chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection. We also identified a BATF-driven transcriptional signature promoting the diabetogenic activity of islet-infiltrating β cell autoreactive CD8 T effectors. Our results provide a useful resource for understanding T cell differentiation programs in T1D.
