Project description:Insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells is essential for glucose homeostasis. An insufficient response to the demand for insulin results in diabetes. We previously showed that β-cell-specific deletion of Zfp148 (β-Zfp148KO) improves glucose tolerance and insulin secretion in mice. These RNA sequencing data show pathways altered in the β-Zfp148KO consistent with altered PEP cycling and improved insulin secretion responses.

Project description:Background: Tetraspanin-7 (Tspan7) is an islet autoantigen involved in autoimmune type 1 diabetes and known to regulate beta-cell L-type Ca2+ channel activity. However, the role of Tspan7 in pancreatic beta-cell function is not yet fully understood. Methods: Histological analyses were conducted using immunostaining. Whole-body metabolism was tested using glucose tolerance test. Islet hormone secretion was quantified using static batch incubation or dynamic perifusion. Beta-cell transmembrane currents, electrical activity and exocytosis were measured using whole-cell patch-clamping and capacitance measurements. Gene expression was studied using mRNA-sequencing and quantitative PCR. Results: Tspan7 is expressed in insulin-containing granules of pancreatic beta-cells. Tspan7-knockout mice (Tspan7 y/- mouse) exhibit reduced body weight and ad libitum plasma glucose but normal glucose tolerance. Tspan7y/- islets have normal insulin content and glucose- or tolbutamide-stimulated insulin secretion. Depolarisation-triggered Ca2+ current was enhanced in Tspan7y/- beta-cells, but beta-cell electrical activity and depolarisation-evoked exocytosis were unchanged suggesting that exocytosis was less sensitive to Ca2+. TSPAN7 knockdown (KD) in human pseudo-islets led to a significant reduction in high K+-stimulated insulin secretion. Transcriptomic analyses show that TSPAN7 KD in human pseudo-islets correlated with changes in genes involved in hormone secretion, apoptosis and ER stress. Consistent with rodent beta-cells, exocytotic Ca2+ sensitivity was reduced in a human beta cell line (EndoC-H1) following Tspan7 KD. Conclusion: Tspan7 is involved in the regulation of Ca2+-dependent exocytosis in beta-cells. Its function is more significant in human beta-cells than their rodent counterparts

Consistent with rodent beta-cells, exocytotic Ca2+ sensitivity was reduced in a human beta cell line (EndoC-bH1) following Tspan7 KD. Conclusion: Tspan7 is involved in the regulation of Ca2+-dependent exocytosis in beta-cells. Its function is more significant in human beta-cells than their rodent counterparts

Project description:Blood vessels play a critical role in pancreatic islet health and function, yet current culture methods to generate islet organoids from human pluripotent stem cells (SC-islets) lack a vascular component. Here, we engineered 3D vascularized SC-islet organoids by assembling SC-islet cells, human primary endothelial cells (ECs) and fibroblasts both in a non-perfused model and a microfluidic device with perfused vessels. Vasculature improved stimulus-dependent Ca2+ influx into SC-β-cells; a hallmark of β-cell function that is blunted in non-vascularized SC-islets. We show that an islet-like basement membrane is formed by vasculature and contributes to the functional improvement of SC-β-cells. Furthermore, cell-cell communication networks based on scRNA-seq data predicted BMP2/4-BMPR2 signaling from ECs to SC-β-cells. Correspondingly, BMP4 augmented the SC-β-cell Ca2+ response and insulin secretion. The here-described vascularized SC-islet models will enable further studies of crosstalk between β-cells and ECs and serve as an in vivo-mimicking platform for disease modeling and therapeutic testing.

Project description:We found that in rodents, postnatal beta-cell maturation is associated with changes in the expression of several islet microRNAs and discovered that these modifications are driven by changes in the nutrient supply. Mimicking the microRNA changes observed during β-cell maturation in newborn rat islet cells was sufficient to promote glucose-induced insulin release and to achieve a mature β-cell secretory phenotype. Moreover, the modifications in the level of some of these microRNAs reduced the proliferation of newborn β-cells, suggesting that they contribute to the limited proliferative capacity of adult β-cells. These findings demonstrated that miRNAs contribute to postnatal beta-cell maturation and development. Their role is likely to promote beta-cell adaptation to fule supply and to maintain glucose homeostasis by regulating insulin release and proliferation. Islets from 10-day-old rats (P10) (n=3) or 3-month-old male rat (n=3) were taken. Total RNA was extracted and mRNA profiling via Illumina single-end sequencing of mRNA-seq libraries was performed.

Project description:Recent studies demonstrate that Ca2+ signaling has an important role in EMT. Use of Ca2+ blockers such as 2APB can inhibit cell migration induced by TGF-β. Interestingly, we see an unexpected increase in Snail expression upon Ca2+ blocker treatment of both MCF10A and NMuMG cells; this increase is not observed with 2APB treatment alone. Therefore, we believe that 2APB plays a synergistic role with TGF-β in Snail induction. We propose to investigate the gene networks that change following 2APB +TGF-β treatment.

Project description:We found that in rodents, postnatal beta-cell maturation is associated with changes in the expression of several islet microRNAs and discovered that these modifications are driven by changes in the nutrient supply. Mimicking the microRNA changes observed during ?-cell maturation in newborn rat islet cells was sufficient to promote glucose-induced insulin release and to achieve a mature ?-cell secretory phenotype. Moreover, the modifications in the level of some of these microRNAs reduced the proliferation of newborn ?-cells, suggesting that they contribute to the limited proliferative capacity of adult ?-cells. These findings demonstrated that miRNAs contribute to postnatal beta-cell maturation and development. Their role is likely to promote beta-cell adaptation to fule supply and to maintain glucose homeostasis by regulating insulin release and proliferation. Islets from 10-day-old rats (P10) (n=5) or 3-month-old male rat (n=6) were taken. Total RNA was extracted and microRNA profiling was performed using the Illumina TruSeq small RNA kit and single-end sequencing.
