Project description:ObjectiveThe loss of forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) signaling in response to metabolic stress contributes to the etiology of type II diabetes, causing the dedifferentiation of pancreatic beta cells to a cell type reminiscent of endocrine progenitors. Lack of methods to easily model this process in vitro, however, have hindered progress into the identification of key downstream targets and potential inhibitors. We therefore aimed to establish such an in vitro cellular dedifferentiation model and apply it to identify novel agents involved in the maintenance of beta-cell identity.MethodsThe murine beta-cell line, Min6, was used for primary experiments and high-content screening. Screens encompassed a library of small-molecule drugs representing the chemical and target space of all FDA-approved small molecules with an automated immunofluorescence readout. Validation experiments were performed in a murine alpha-cell line as well as in primary murine and human diabetic islets. Developmental effects were studied in zebrafish and C. elegans models, while diabetic db/db mouse models were used to elucidate global glucose metabolism outcomes.ResultsWe show that short-term pharmacological FoxO1 inhibition can model beta-cell dedifferentiation by downregulating beta-cell-specific transcription factors, resulting in the aberrant expression of progenitor genes and the alpha-cell marker glucagon. From a high-content screen, we identified loperamide as a small molecule that can prevent FoxO inhibitor-induced glucagon expression and further stimulate insulin protein processing and secretion by altering calcium levels, intracellular pH, and FoxO1 localization.ConclusionsOur study provides novel models, molecular targets, and drug candidates for studying and preventing beta-cell dedifferentiation.

Project description:The analysis identified 122 genes displaying responses to insulin and/or glucagon administration in the liver of WT male mice. Of 122 genes, 75 genes responded in a insulin-selected manner, 29 genes in a glucagon-selected manner, and 18 genes were regulated by both of insulin and glucagon 60 min after stimulation with each hormone. Insulin upregulated expression of 45 genes including Btg2, Ddit4, and Rasgef1b, downregulated 30 genes such as Arrdc3 Rgs16, and Txnip. Glucagon upregulated expression of 15 genes including Chordc1 and Gck, and downregulated expression of 14 genes such as Mt2 and Lcn2. Seventeen genes showed transcriptional upregulation in response to both insulin and glucagon including Hspa1b, Nr4a1 Trp53inp1, and one gene, Orm2, displayed downregulation after stimulation of insulin or glucagon.

Project description:Glucagon and insulin are counter-regulatory pancreatic hormones that precisely control blood glucose homeostasis1. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by inappropriately elevated blood glucagon2-5 levels as well as insufficient glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) by pancreatic ß-cells6. Early in the pathogenesis of T2DM, hyperglucagonemia is observable antecedent to ß-cell dysfunction7-9; and in mice, liver-specific activation of glucagon receptor-dependent signaling results in impaired GSIS10. However, the mechanistic relationship between hyperglucagonemia, hepatic glucagon action, and ß-cell dysfunction remains poorly understood. Here we show that glucagon action stimulates hepatic production of the neuropeptide kisspeptin1, which acts in an endocrine manner on ß-cells to suppress GSIS. In vivo glucagon administration acutely stimulates hepatic kisspeptin1 production, and kisspeptin1 is increased in livers from humans with T2DM and from mouse models of diabetes mellitus. Synthetic kisspeptin1 potently suppresses GSIS in vivo and in vitro from normal isolated islets, which express the kisspeptin1 receptor Kiss1R. Administration of a Kiss1R antagonist in diabetic Leprdb/db mice potently augments GSIS and reduces glycemia. Our observations indicate in the pathogenesis of T2DM an endocrine mechanism sequentially linking hyperglucagonemia via hepatic kisspeptin1 production to impaired insulin secretion. In addition, our findings suggest Kiss1R antagonism as a therapeutic avenue to improve ß-cell function in T2DM. Total RNA from L-Δprkar1a KO mice compared to control D-glucose mice

Project description:Liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP2) is an endogenous antagonist and inverse agonist of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHS-R1a), exhibiting opposing effects on cell signaling, feeding, and hormonal secretion compared to ghrelin. However, despite an emerging interest in LEAP2’s physiology and pharmacology, its endocrine regulation remains unclear. Here, we show that plasma LEAP2 levels decrease significantly upon supraphysiological glucagon infusions during pancreatic somatostatin clamps in humans and that a hypercaloric diet and a sedentary lifestyle for two weeks impair this effect. Moreover, in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes, plasma LEAP2 levels decrease significantly following glucagon infusion. Additionally, we find that postprandial upregulation of LEAP2 in mice is insulin-dependent. In the postprandial state, insulin receptor antagonism offsets the upregulation of hepatic Leap2expression and plasma LEAP2 levels. Finally, we show that insulin and glucagon receptor-expressing hepatocytes are the primary source of hepatic LEAP2 expression. This coincides with a putative enhancer-like signature bound by insulin- and glucagon-regulated transcription factors at the LEAP2 locus in the liver. Collectively, these findings implicate insulin and glucagonin the regulation of LEAP2 and highlight the need for further investigations into the endocrine mechanisms both upstream and downstream of LEAP2.

Project description:In the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes development of insulin resistance triggers an increase in pancreatic β-cell insulin secretion capacity and β-cell number. Failure of this compensatory mechanism is caused by a dedifferentiation of β-cells, which leads to insufficient insulin secretion and diabetic hyperglycemia. The β-cell factors that normally protect against dedifferentiation remain poorly defined. Here, through a systems biology approach, we identify the transcription factor Klf6 as a regulator of β-cell adaptation to metabolic stress. We show that inactivation of Klf6 in mouse β-cells blunts their proliferation induced by the insulin resistance of pregnancy, high-fat high-sucrose feeding, and insulin receptor antagonism. Transcriptomic analysis showed that Klf6 controls the expression of β-cell proliferation genes and, in the presence of insulin resistance, it prevents the down-expression of genes controlling mature β-cell identity and the induction of disallowed genes that impair insulin secretion; its expression also limits the transdifferentiation of β-cells into alpha cells. Our study identifies a new transcription factor that protects β-cells against dedifferentiation and which may be targeted to prevent diabetes development.

Project description:Glucagon is secreted from pancreatic α-cells, and hypersecretion (hyperglucagonemia) contributes to diabetic hyperglycemia. Molecular heterogeneity in hyperglucagonemia is poorly investigated. By screening human plasma by high-resolution-proteomics, we identified several glucagon variants among which proglucagon 1-61 (PG 1-61) appears to be the most abundant form. PG 1-61 was secreted in obese subjects before and as well after gastric bypass surgery with protein and fat as the main drivers for secretion before surgery, but glucose after. Studies in hepatocytes and in β-cells demonstrated that PG 1-61 dose-dependently increased levels of cAMP, through the glucagon receptor, and increased insulin secretion and protein levels of enzymes regulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. As a consequence, PG 1-61 increased blood glucose and plasma insulin and decreased plasma levels of amino acids in vivo. Glucagon variants, such as PG 1-61, may contribute to glucose regulation by stimulating hepatic glucose production and insulin secretion.

Project description:Pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction contributes to onset and progression of type 2 diabetes. In this state beta-cells become metabolically inflexible, losing the ability to select between carbohydrates and lipids as substrates for mitochondrial oxidation. These changes lead to beta-cell dedifferentiation. We have proposed that FoxO proteins are activated through deacetylation-dependent nuclear translocation to forestall the progression of these abnormalities. However, how deacetylated FoxO exert their actions remains unclear. To address this question, we analyzed islet function in mice homozygous for knock-in alleles encoding deacetylated FoxO1 (6KR). Islets expressing 6KR mutant FoxO1 have enhanced insulin secretion in vivo and ex vivo, and decreased fatty acid oxidation ex vivo. Remarkably, the gene expression signature associated with FoxO1 deacetylation differs from wild-type by only ~2% of the > 4,000 genes regulated in response to re-feeding. But this narrow swath includes key genes required for beta-cell identity, lipid metabolism, and mitochondrial fatty acid and solute transport. The data support the notion that deacetylated FoxO1 protects beta-cell function by limiting mitochondrial lipid utilization, and raise the possibility that inhibition of fatty acid oxidation in β-cells is beneficial to diabetes treatment.

Project description:Glucagon serves as an important regulatory hormone for regulating blood glucose concentrations with tight feedback control with insulin and glucose. There are critical gaps in our understanding of glucagon kinetics, pancreatic α cell function and intra-islet feedback network that are disrupted in type 1 diabetes. This is important for translational research applications of evolving dual-hormone (insulin+glucagon) closed-loop artificial pancreas algorithms and their usage in type 1 diabetes. Thus, it is important to accurately measure glucagon kinetics in vivo and to develop robust models of glucose-insulin-glucagon interplay that could inform next generation of artificial pancreas algorithms.
