Project description:C57BLKS/J mice are susceptible to diabetes, because of islet dysfunction, whereas C57BL6/J mice are not. Differences in gene expression between the two strains may account for this sensitivity. Furthermore these differences may only be evident in the hyperstimulated (diabetic or hyperglycemic) state. To this end profiling islets from these two strains cultured in both low and high glucose may reveal the underlying mechanism. Keywords: Mouse strain comparison under different culture conditions In the study presented here, pancreatic islets from 20 mice grown in low and high glucose conditions were assayed for differences in gene expression. (five C57BLKS/J low glucose, four C57BLKS/J high glucose, six C57BL6/J low glucose, five C57BL6/J high glucose). Technical replicates are achieved by labeling each sample with both Cy3 and Cy5, and combining the values for each hybridization.

Project description:Wolfram syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by juvenile-onset diabetes mellitus and optic atrophy, is caused by mutations in the WFS1 gene. WFS1 encodes an endoplasmic reticulum resident transmembrane protein. The Wfs1-null mice exhibit progressive insulin deficiency and diabetes. The aim of the present study was to describe the insulin secretion and transcriptome of pancreatic islets in WFS1-deficient mice. WFS1-deficient (Wfs1KO) mice had considerably less pancreatic islets than heterozygous (Wfs1HZ) or wild-type (WT) mice. Wfs1KO pancreatic islets secreted less insulin after stimulation with 2 and 10 mM glucose and with tolbutamide solution compared to WT and Wfs1HZ islets, but not after stimulation with 20 mM glucose. Differences in proinsulin amount were not statistically significant although there was a trend that Wfs1KO had an increased level of proinsulin. After stimulation with 2 mM glucose solution the proinsulin/insulin ratio in Wfs1KO was significantly higher than that of WT and Wfs1HZ. RNA-seq from pancreatic islets found melastatin-related transient receptor potential subfamily member 5 protein gene (Trpm5) to be downregulated in WFS1-deficient mice. Functional annotation of RNA sequencing results showed that WFS1 deficiency influenced significantly the pathways related to tissue morphology, endocrine system development and function, molecular transport network. These findings suggest an interactive role of WFS1 and TRPM5 in insulin secretion. 12 samples: three genotypes, 4 individuals in each genotype

Project description:Pathways that stimulate β-cell regeneration remain of great clinical interest, yet effective therapeutic avenues that promote survival or reconstitution of β-cell mass remain elusive. Utilizing a mouse model with inducible β-cell apoptosis followed by adiponectin-mediated regeneration, we aimed to identify key molecules boosting β-cell viability. Within the regenerating pancreatic islets, we examined changes within the transcriptome, and observed an extensive upregulation of genes encoding proteins involved in lipid transport and metabolism. The most prominent targets were further confirmed by quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence. Among the upstream regulators predicted by pathway analysis of the transcriptome, we detected enhanced levels of two key transcription factors, HNF4α and PPARα. Enhanced leptin levels in circulation may also contribute to the anti-lipotoxic program in islets. In summary, our data suggest that improving local lipid metabolism as an important anti-lipotoxic phenomenon to boost β-cell regeneration, primarily mediated by adiponectin’s action on the β-cells directly as well as on the adipocyte. RNA profiles of pancreatic islets isolated from PANIC-ATTAT mice crossed with adiponectin wild-type (P-Adn+/+) or the overexpressing transgene (P-AdnTg/+) at 5 weeks after initial dimerizer administration.

Project description:Dietary restriction (DR) extends lifespan in a wide variety of species, yet the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here we show that the Caenorhabditis elegans HNF4α-related nuclear hormone receptor NHR-62 is required for metabolic and physiologic responses associated with DR-induced longevity. nhr-62 mediates the longevity of eat-2 mutants, a genetic mimetic of dietary restriction, and blunts the longevity response of DR induced by bacterial food dilution at low nutrient levels. Metabolic changes associated with DR, including decreased Oil Red O staining, decreased triglyceride levels, and increased autophagy are partly reversed by mutation of nhr-62. Additionally, the DR fatty acid profile is altered in nhr-62mutants. Expression profiles reveal that several hundred genes induced by DR depend on the activity of NHR-62, including a putative lipase required for the DR response. This study provides critical evidence of nuclear hormone receptor regulation of the DR longevity response, suggesting hormonal and metabolic control of life span. Young adult worms before bearing eggs inside were collected. N2 serves as the control of wild type. 3 biological replicates included in this experiment.

Project description:Germ-line deletion of the Haster promoter region results in overexpression of Hnf1a in liver, while a variegated phenotype is observed in pancreatic islets, with overexpression or silencing of the Hnf1a gene in different cells. Mouse hybrid experiments show that both activation and silencing mechanisms occur in cis. To assess whether HASTER transcription or RNA transcripts are involved in the regulation of Hnf1a, we have generated a mouse model where the 4xSV40 polyA signal has been inserted downstream of Haster promoters (Haster-Stop allele) to terminate Haster transcription, but leaving the Haster promoter intact. Haster Stop/+ F1 mice with the Haster Stop allele from C57BL/6 origin and wild type allele from the PWK/PhJ origin were used for stain-specific RNA-seq in pancreatic islets and liver. Allele-specific quantification of Hnf1a exon 1 were used to assess the requirement of the Haster transcripts/transcription for Hnf1a expression.

Project description:Although regulation of energy metabolism has been linked with multiple disorders, its role in depression and responsiveness to antidepressants is less-known. We found that an epigenetic and energetic agent, acetyl-L-carnitine (LAC, oral administration), rapidly rescued the depressive- and central and systemic metabolic-like phenotype of LAC-deficient Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) rats. After acute stress during LAC treatment, a subset of FSL continued to respond to LAC (rFSL), whereas the other subset did not respond (nrFSL). RNAseq for the ventral dentate-gyrus (vDG), a mood-regulatory region, identified metabolic factors as key markers predisposing to depression (insulin receptors Insr, glucose transporters Glut-4 and Glut-12, the regulator of appetite Cartpt) and to LAC responsiveness (leptin receptors Lepr, metabotropic glutamate receptors-2 mGlu2, neuropeptide-Y NPY, and mineralocorticoid receptors MR). Furthermore, we found that stress-induced treatment-resistance in nrFSL shows a new gene profile, including the metabolic regulator factors Elovl7 and Cyb5r2 and the synaptic regulator NPAS4. Finally, while improving central energy regulation and exerting rapid antidepressant-like effects, LAC corrected a systemic hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia.tance in rFSL and failed to do that in nrFSL. These findings establish CNS energy regulation as factor to be considered for the development of better therapeutics. Agents, like LAC, which regulate metabolic factors and reduce glutamate overflow, could rapidly ameliorate depression and could also be considered for treatment of insulin-resistance in depressed subjects. The approach here serves as a model for identifying markers and underlying mechanisms of predisposition to diseases and treatment responsiveness that may be useful in translation to human behavior and psychopathology. Ventral dentate gyrus RNA from 3 biological replicates per group (vehicle-FRL, vehicle-FSL, LAC-treated not-responder FSL, LAC-treated responder FSL, all males) was used for library prep (TruSeq Stranded Total RNA with Ribo-Zero Human/Mouse/Rat) and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq2500 at the Genomic Core facility at The Rockefeller University. Each sample was provided with a unique adapter and all samples were put in the same pool and run in multiple lanes to control for lane effects with a sequencing depth of about 30M (100bp, single).
