RNA profiling of PDX1+ pancreatic progenitors before or after co-culture with different types of cells

ABSTRACT: Analysis of gene expression of Pdx-EGFP1+ pancreatic progenitors before or after co-culture at mRNA level. The hypothesis tested in the study was that the overall gene expression in Pdx1-EGFP+ does not alter after co-culture with endothelial cells. The result supported our hypothesis. Total RNA isolated from Pdx1-EGFP+ progenitors from the Pdx1-EGFP HUES8 cell-derived pancreatic progenitor population before (none) and after co-culture (AKT-HUVEC, MPEC, or BJ) Fig 2d in publication.

Project description:The aim of the study was to define the specific gene expression signature of pancreatic endoderm cells (PECs), by designing a strategy for generating putative PECs (PDX1+/NKX6-1+, and posterior foregut endoderm (PFG) cells (PDX1+/NKX6-1-). Cell line: PDX1-eGFP reporter cell line (PDXeG clone 170-3) generated using the HUES-4 embryonic stem cell line. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were maintained on irradiated mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Generation of a hESC-derived PDX1-eGFP reporter cell line: A PDX1-targeting vector was constructed by inserting an eGFP-pSV40-NeoR reporter cassette into the 5â² untranslated region of the PDX1 gene upstream of the PDX1 start codon (ATG), resulting in an GFP-tagged PDX1 allele. The GFP cassette was flanked by a 12.5kb homologous arm on the 5â direction and by a 3,5kb homologous arm on the 3 direction. The final targeting construct was verified by PCR, restriction analysis and sequencing. After approximately 2 weeks emerging clones were picked, expanded and analyzed by PCR. The Neomycin cassette was deleted by using a CRE expression vector (NLS-CRE-IRES-Puro) that was transiently co-transfected with a DsRED or GFP plasmid into selected targeted cloned. 24 hours post electroporation, GFP/DsRED positive single cells were FACS sorted and plated into 96-well plates. Clones were expanded and characterized for Neo excision by PCR. Differentiation protocol: hESCs cultured on MEFs were grown until 90% confluency and differentiated into definitive endoderm (DE) by using a modified version of the DâAmour protocol (D'Amour et al., 2005). The first day of differentiation, hESCs were cultured in the presence of 100ng/ml human Activin A (Peprotech) and 25ng/ml Wnt3a (R&D systems) in RPMI medium (Life Technologies). The four following days 100ng/ml human Activin A was added together with 1x B27-insulin in RPMI medium (Life Technologies). To generate posterior foregut cells, DE cells were treated with 64 ng/ml bFGF for additional 12 days. To generate pancreatic endoderm cells, DE cells were first treated with 2uM retinoic acid (RA, Sigma Aldrich) in DMEM/F12 medium containing 1x B27 +insulin (Life Technologies) for three days and then finally treated with 64 ng/ml FGF2 in combination with 100 ng/ml Noggin for the remaining 9 days.

Project description:Missense mutations in coding region of PDX1 predispose to type-2 diabetes mellitus as well as cause MODY through largely unexplored mechanisms. Here, we screened a large cohort of subjects with increased risk for diabetes and identified two subjects with impaired glucose tolerance carrying heterozygous missense mutations in the PDX1 coding region leading to single amino acid exchanges (P33T, C18R) in its transactivation domain. We generated iPSCs from patients with heterozygous PDX1P33T/+, PDX1C18R/+ mutations and engineered isogenic cell lines carrying homozygous PDX1P33T/P33T, PDX1C18R/C18R mutations and a heterozygous PDX1 loss-of-function mutation (PDX1+/-). Using an in vitro β-cell differentiation protocol, we demonstrated that both PDX1P33T/+, PDX1C18R/+ and PDX1P33T/P33T, PDX1C18R/C18R mutations impair β-cell differentiation and function. Furthermore, PDX1+/- and PDX1P33T/P33T mutations reduced differentiation efficiency of pancreatic progenitors (PPs), due to downregulation of PDX1-bound genes, including transcription factors MNX1 and PDX1 as well as insulin resistance gene CES1. Additionally, both PDX1P33T/+ and PDX1P33T/P33T mutations in PPs reduced the expression of PDX1-bound genes including the long-noncoding RNA, MEG3 and the imprinted gene NEURONATIN, both involved in insulin synthesis and secretion. Our results reveal mechanistic details of how diabetes-associated PDX1 point mutations impair human pancreatic endocrine lineage formation and β-cell function and contribute to pre-disposition for diabetes. Methods: In this study, we have generated a novel induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line that efficiently differentiates into human pancreatic progenitors (PPs). Furthermore, PDX1 and H3K27ac chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) was used to identify PDX1 transcriptional targets and active enhancer and promoter regions. To address potential differences in the function of PDX1 during development and adulthood, we compared PDX1 binding profiles from PPs and adult islets. Moreover, combining ChIP-seq and GWAS meta-analysis data we identified T2DM-associated SNPs in PDX1 binding sites and active chromatin regions.
