MetabolomicsFFAR4-mediated IL-6 release from islet macrophages promotes insulin secretion and is compromised in type-2 diabetes

The function of islet macrophages is poorly understood. They promote glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in lean mice, however, the underlying mechanism has remained unclear. We show that activation of the free fatty acid receptor FFAR4 on islet macrophages leads to interleukin-6 (IL-6) r...

TranscriptomicsmicroRNA and mRNA expression profiles of human pancreatic islet-like cell clusters
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islet beta cell disease, and it is important to find new alternative source of the islet beta cells to replace the damaged cells. Human embryonic stem (hES) cells possess unlimited self-renewal and pluripotency and thus have the potential to...

GenomicsDynamic epigenetic regulation by menin during pancreatic islet tumor formation
loss of Men1 in mouse pancreatic islet cells alters the epigenetic landscape of a subset of target genes. H3K4me3 ChIP-seq from either mouse pancreatic islets or mouse pancreatic islet tumors harvested at different stages.

MetabolomicsGut microbiota-derived deoxycholic acid promotes pancreatic regeneration following acute pancreatitis via Reg3a signaling pathway

Recovery from acute pancreatitis (AP) involves complex biological processes, and the mechanisms governing pancreatic repair remain unclear. In a clinical cohort during the recovery phase of AP, impaired pancreatic recovery was associated with intestinal dysbiosis, depletion of the microbial bile ...

TranscriptomicsRNA sequencing of pancreatic islets and islet-derived macrophages and endothelial cells modulated by vascular endothelial growth factor-A signaling
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 vas...

TranscriptomicsRNA-sequencing identifies dysregulation of the human pancreatic islet transcriptome by the saturated fatty acid palmitate
Pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction and death are central in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Saturated fatty acids cause beta-cell failure and contribute to diabetes development in genetically predisposed individuals. Here we used RNA-sequencing to map transcripts expressed in five palmitate-treat...

TranscriptomicsThe human pancreatic islet transcriptome: impact of pro-inflammatory cytokines
We have used RNA-seq to identify transcripts, including splice variants, expressed in human islets of Langerhans under control condition or following exposure to the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ). A total of 29,776 transcripts were identified as expressed...

TranscriptomicsDetailed transcriptome atlas of the pancreatic beta cell
The aim of the present study was to explore the transcriptome of pancreatic islets and, based on this information, to prepare a comprehensive and open access inventory of insulin-producing ?-cell gene expression, the beta-Cell Gene Atlas (BCGA). INS-1 cells, primary rat beta-cells (>87% beta-cells) ...

TranscriptomicsSphingosine-1-phosphate Phosphatase 2 Regulates Pancreatic Islet B-cell Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Proliferation
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a sphingolipid metabolite that regulates basic cell functions through metabolic and signaling pathways. Intracellular metabolism of S1P is controlled, in part, by two homologous S1P phosphatases, 1 and 2, which are encoded by Sgpp1 and Sgpp2, respectively. S1P phosph...

TranscriptomicsSingle-cell transcriptomics reveals unique features of human pancreatic islet cell subtypes
We report the single-cell RNA-seq based identification of 6 known human islet cell types (alpha cells, beta cells, delta cells, pp cells, acinar cells and duct cells) based on the expression of known marker genes. We further assess cell type specific gene expression and suggest novel marker genes fo...
