LC-MS on porcine pancreatic remodeling


ABSTRACT: The pancreatic endocrine cells, particularly the insulin secreting β-cells, adapt to pregnancy by increasing cell mass, size and altering secretory patterns. Since most studies utilize rodent models, translating findings to human pregnancy remains challenging. In this work, we performed an extensive characterization of pancreatic adaptations throughout pig pregnancy. Pigs have long gestational cycles (114 days) as well as similar size and metabolism to humans. By analyzing pancreatic samples from early and late gestation ages, we captured the full trajectory of endocrine remodeling. We observed that pregnancy induces selective endocrine cell-type remodeling, marked by preferential expansion of pancreatic polypeptide cells. Proteomic characterization of pancreata from early and late gestation showed a downregulation of SLC20A2 and ZCCHC7, identifying new targetable proteins for physiological endocrine cell adaptation. Overall, our comprehensive characterization of pancreatic adaptations in the pig model bridges the translational gap between rodents and humans and highlights new proteins with therapeutic potential in gestational diabetes.
