Project description:The molecular clock is a transcriptional oscillator present in brain and peripheral cells that coordinates behavior and physiology with the solar cycle. Here we reveal that the clock gates insulin secretion through genome-wide transcriptional control of the pancreatic exocyst across species. Clock transcription factors bind to unique enhancer sites in cycling genes in beta cells that diverge from those in liver, revealing the dynamics of inter-tissue clock control of genomic and physiologic processes important in glucose homeostasis.

Project description:AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Manoeuvres aimed at increasing beta cell mass have been proposed as regenerative medicine strategies for diabetes treatment. Raf-1 kinase inhibitor protein 1 (RKIP1) is a common regulatory node of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathways and therefore may be involved in regulation of beta cell homeostasis. The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of RKIP1 in the control of beta cell mass and function. METHODS: Rkip1 (also known as Pebp1) knockout (Rkip1 (-/-)) mice were characterised in terms of pancreatic and glucose homeostasis, including morphological and functional analysis. Glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were examined, followed by assessment of glucose-induced insulin secretion in isolated islets and beta cell mass quantification through morphometry. Further characterisation included determination of endocrine and exocrine proliferation, apoptosis, MAPK activation and whole genome gene expression assays. Capacity to reverse a diabetic phenotype was assessed in adult Rkip1 (-/-) mice after streptozotocin treatment. RESULTS: Rkip1 (-/-) mice exhibit a moderately larger pancreas and increased beta cell mass and pancreatic insulin content, which correlate with an overall improvement in whole body glucose tolerance. This phenotype is established in young postnatal stages and involves enhanced cellular proliferation without significant alterations in cell death. Importantly, adult Rkip1 (-/-) mice exhibit rapid reversal of streptozotocin-induced diabetes compared with control mice. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: These data implicate RKIP1 in the regulation of pancreatic growth and beta cell expansion, thus revealing RKIP1 as a potential pharmacological target to promote beta cell regeneration. Pancreatic gene expression of Rkip-1 (Raf kinase inhibitor 1) knockout (KO) and wild type (WT) mice, including three biological replicates in each group.

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:Objective: Histone deacetylases are epigenetic regulators known to control gene transcription in various tissues. A member of this family, histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3), has been shown to regulate metabolic genes. Cell culture studies with HDAC-specific inhibitors and siRNA suggest that HDAC3 plays a role in pancreatic β-cell function, but a recent genetic study in mice has been contradictory. Here we address the functional role of HDAC3 in β-cells of adult mice. Methods: An HDAC3 β-cell specific knockout was generated in adult MIP-CreERT transgenic mice using the Cre-loxP system. Induction of HDAC3 deletion was initiated at 8 weeks of age with administration of tamoxifen in corn oil (2 mg/day for 5 days). Mice were assayed for glucose tolerance, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and islet function 2 weeks after induction of the knockout. Transcriptional functions of HDAC3 were assessed by ChIP-seq as well as RNA-seq comparing control and -cell knockout islets. Results: HDAC3 β-cell specific knockout (HDAC3βKO) did not increase total pancreatic insulin content or β-cell mass. However, HDAC3βKO mice demonstrated markedly improved glucose tolerance. This improved glucose metabolism coincided with increased basal and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in vivo as well as in isolated islets. Cistromic and transcriptomic analyses of pancreatic islets revealed that HDAC3 regulates multiple genes that contribute to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Conclusions: HDAC3 plays an important role in regulating insulin secretion in vivo and therapeutic intervention may improve glucose homeostasis.

Project description:Although persistent elevations in circulating glucose concentrations promote compensatory increases in pancreatic islet mass, unremitting insulin resistance causes a deterioration in beta cell function that disrupts glucose balance and signals the progression to diabetes 1. Glucagon like Peptide 1 (GLP1) agonists improve glucose tolerance in insulin resistance, although some individuals are unresponsive to treatment. Here we show that increases in GLP1 during feeding promote beta cell function in part through the PKA-mediated activation of CREB and its coactivator CRTC2 2. Mice with a knockout of CRTC2 in beta cells have impaired oral glucose tolerance due to decreases in circulating insulin concentrations. CRTC2 was found to promote beta cell function in part by stimulating the expression of the transcription factor MafA. Chronic hyperglycemia associated with high fat or high carbohydrate diet feeding disrupted cAMP signaling in pancreatic islets. Indeed, prolonged elevations in circulating glucose concentrations interfered with CREB signaling by activating the mTOR pathway and triggering the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF1)-dependent induction of the Protein Kinase A Inhibitor beta (PKIB), a potent inhibitor of PKA catalytic activity 3. As disruption of the PKIB gene restored glucose tolerance and insulin secretion in obesity, our results demonstrate how cross-talk between nutrient and hormonal pathways contributes to loss of pancreatic islet function in insulin resistance. Rat insulinoma cells were used to interrogate the impact of glucose exposure and CREB activity on cAMP dependent gene regulation in the pancreatic beta cells

Project description:The NF-κB pathway is a master regulator of inflammatory processes and is implicated in insulin resistance and pancreatic beta cell dysfunction in the metabolic syndrome. While canonical NF-κB signaling is well studied, there is little information on the divergent non-canonical NF-κB pathway in the context of pancreatic islet dysfunction in diabetes. Here, we demonstrate that pharmacological activation of the non-canonical NF-κB inducing kinase (NIK) disrupts glucose homeostasis in zebrafish in vivo. Further, we identify NIK as a critical negative regulator of beta cell function as pharmacological NIK activation results in impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in mouse and human islets. NIK levels are elevated in pancreatic islets isolated from diet-induced obese (DIO) mice, which exhibit increased processing of non-canonical NF-κB components p100 to p52, and accumulation of RelB. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), two ligands associated with diabetes, induce NIK in islets. Mice with constitutive beta cell intrinsic NIK activation present impaired insulin secretion with DIO. NIK activation triggers the non-canonical NF-κB transcriptional network to induce genes identified in human type 2 diabetes genome-wide association studies linked to beta cell failure. These studies reveal that NIK contributes a central mechanism for beta cell failure in diet-induced obesity. We identify a role for Nuclear Factor inducing κB (NIK) in pancreatic beta cell failure. NIK activation disrupts glucose homeostasis in zebrafish in vivo and impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in mouse and human islets in vitro. NIK activation also perturbs beta cell insulin secretion in a diet-induced obesity mouse model. These studies reveal that NIK contributes a central mechanism for beta cell failure in obesity. To uncover the role of NIK in pancreatic beta cells, we performed a gene expression microarray analysis comparing pancreatic islets with constitutive beta cell intrinsicNIK activation from the 16 week old mice (beta cell specific TRAF2 and TRAF2 knockout mice) to their controls (n=3 per group).

Project description:The pancreas plays a critical role in maintaining glucose homeostasis through the secretion of hormones from the islets of Langerhans. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) by the pancreatic beta-cell is the main mechanism for reducing elevated plasma glucose.
Here we present a systematic modeling workflow for the development of kinetic pathway models using the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML). An important factor was the reproducibility and exchangeability of the model, which allowed the use of various existing tools.
The workflow was applied to construct a novel data-driven kinetic model of GSIS in the pancreatic beta-cell based on experimental and clinical data from 39 studies spanning 50 years of pancreatic, islet, and beta-cell research in humans, rats, mice, and cell lines. The model consists of detailed glycolysis and phenomenological equations for insulin secretion coupled to cellular energy state, ATP dynamics and (ATP/ADP ratio).
Key findings of our work are that in GSIS there is a glucose-dependent increase in almost all intermediates of glycolysis. This increase in glycolytic metabolites is accompanied by an increase in energy metabolites, especially ATP and NADH. One of the few decreasing metabolites is ADP, which, in combination with the increase in ATP, results in a large increase in ATP/ADP ratios in the beta-cell with increasing glucose. Insulin secretion is dependent on ATP/ADP, resulting in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.

Project description:The pancreatic β cell synthesizes, packages, and secretes insulin in response to glucose-stimulation to maintain blood glucose homeostasis. Under diabetic conditions, a subset of β cells fail and lose expression of key transcription factors (TFs) required for insulin secretion. Among these TFs is Pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (Pdx1), which recruits a unique subset of transcriptional coregulators to modulate its activity. Here we describe a novel interacting partner of Pdx1, the Staphylococcal Nuclease and Tudor domain-containing protein (Snd1), which has been shown to facilitate protein-protein interactions and transcriptional control through diverse mechanisms in a variety of tissues. Pdx1:Snd1 interactions were confirmed in rodent β cell lines, mouse islets and human islets. Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, we deleted Snd1 from the mouse β cell lines, which revealed numerous differentially expressed genes linked to insulin secretion and cell proliferation, including limited expression of Glp1r. We observed Snd1 deficient β cell lines had reduced cell expansion rates, Glp1r protein levels and limited cAMP accumulation under stimulatory conditions, and further show that acute ablation of Snd1 impaired insulin secretion in rodent and human β cell lines. Lastly, we discovered that PDX1:SND1 interactions were profoundly reduced in human β cells from donors with type 2 diabetes (T2D). These observations suggest the Pdx1:Snd1 complex formation is critical for controlling a subset of genes important for β cell function and is targeted in diabetes pathogenesis

Project description:Alterations in the expression of key transcription factors can be harmful for pancreatic beta cell homeostasis and could lead to diabetes. This study uncovered that Prox1 overexpression obstructs beta cell maturation and results in severe hyperglycemia. The function of β-cells is key for glucose homeostasis because they supply insulin to the entire body. Genetic or metabolic conditions that disrupt the complex physiology of β-cells can lead to diabetes mellitus, a prevalent life-threatening disease. Here we investigated whether sustained Prox1 expression is incompatible with β-cell development using a transgenic mouse approach, and report that β-cell maturation is drastically impaired in the presence of high levels of Prox1. We used microarrays to identify gene expression profiles and pathways that are differentially activated when Prox1 is overexpressed in murine pancreatic beta cells.
