Single cell transcriptome analysis of human fetal pancreas.

ABSTRACT: Organ development is the process in which the mesoderm, endoderm and ectoderm develop into distinct cell types in highly ordered, discrete organs. Although model organisms have been hugely helpful to delineate the specific cell state transformations involved in organogenesis, the considerable differences in time-scale and physiology between human and such model organism can make direct comparisons difficult. Here, we analyze 1982 single cells from all cell lineages in the developing human pancreas, across a wide range of gestational stages (w 12 -22). We find that differentiation of endocrine progenitors into differentiated alpha and delta cells constitute branches in a “default” differentiation path into beta cells, a finding that is corroborated by in vivo reprogramming of alpha cells into beta cell in a mouse model. Further, we find several mesenchymal sub-cell types, the characteristic genes of which suggest specific roles in organ development including rapid cell growth, extracellular matrix reorganization and vascularization. Thus, our data suggests that to understand organ development, we have to chart the supporting mesenchymal cell types, some of which might only exist during organ development.

Pancreatic alpha and beta-cellular clocks have distinct molecular properties and impact on islet hormone secretion and gene expression

Project description:We performed a parallel analysis of the molecular properties of α- and β-cell oscillators, using a mouse model expressing three reporter genes: one labeling α-cells, one specific for β-cells, and a third monitoring circadian gene expression. Diurnal transcriptome analysis in separated α- and β-cells revealed that a high number of genes with key roles in islet physiology, including regulators of glucose sensing and hormone secretion, are differentially expressed in these cell types. This study represents the first parallel large-scale circadian in vivo transcriptome analysis in separated α- and β-cells.

Cell array 10000 hybridization

Project description:The incubation of a 10,000 member PNA-encoded peptide library with cells over-expressing the alpha(v)beta(3) and alpha(v)beta(5) integrins (D54) or CCR6 (HEK293T-CCR6) followed by microarray analysis allowed detailed information on the interaction between peptide-ligands and cell surface receptors to be extracted. This allowed the identification of new cell specific ligands for alpha(v)beta(3) and alpha(v)beta(5) integrins and CCR6 and offers an approach to ligand discovery that allows the comparative, competitive and simultaneous analysis of different cell types for the identification of differences in surface-receptor ligands and/or receptor expression between cell types.

Nuclear transcriptomes of the seven neuronal cell types that constitute the Drosophila mushroom bodies

Project description:The insect mushroom body (MB) is a conserved central brain structure that receives multi-modal inputs and plays key roles in a diverse array of behaviors. In Drosophila melanogaster, the MB has served as the primary invertebrate model to investigate how neural circuits underlie plasticity related to memory formation and storage. A vast literature describes the development, morphology, wiring, and function of each of the MB cell types as well as their inputs and outputs. MBs consist of approximately 2000 intrinsic Kenyon Cells per hemisphere that are divided into three major neuron classes — γ, α′/β′ and α/β — based on their birth order, morphology and connectivity. These classes are further sub-divided into 7 cell subtypes — γd, γm, α′/β′ap, α′/β′m, α/βp, α/βs and α/βc. A wealth of functional studies demonstrate that these 7 MB cell subtypes connect to different input and output neurons and play distinct roles in memory processing. The functional differences between these cell subtypes are presumably reflected in unique transcriptional programs, although this has not been investigated. Here, we used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to profile the nuclear transcriptomes of each of the 7 MB neuronal cell subtypes. We identified 350 MB class- or subtype-specific genes. These include the widely used α/β class marker Fas2 and the α′/β′ class marker trio. Immunostaining data corroborates the RNA-seq measurements at the protein level for several cases. Importantly, our data provide a full accounting of the neurotransmitter receptors, transporters, neurotransmitter biosynthetic enzymes, neuropeptides, and neuropeptide receptors expressed within each of these cell types. This high-quality, cell type-level transcriptomic catalog for the Drosophila MB provides a valuable resource for the fly neuroscience community.

Artemisinins target GABA receptor signaling to induce alpha to beta cell transdifferentiation

Project description:Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, and generating new insulin-producing cells from other cell types is a major aim of regenerative medicine. One promising approach is transdifferentiation of developmentally related pancreatic cell types including glucagon-producing alpha cells. In a genetic model, overexpression of the master regulatory transcription factor Pax4 or loss of its counterplayer Arx are sufficient to induce the conversion of alpha cells to functional beta-like cells. Here we identify artemisinins as small molecules that functionally repress Arx and induce beta-cell characteristics in alpha cells. We show that the protein gephyrin is the mammalian target of these antimalaria drugs. Finally, we demonstrate that gephyrin-mediated enhancement of GABAA receptor signaling is the mechanism of action of these molecules in pancreatic transdifferentiation. Our results indicate that gephyrin is a novel druggable target for the regeneration of pancreatic beta cell mass from alpha cells.

Comprehensive mouse alpha and beta cell transcriptomes

Project description:Rodent models are widely used to study diabetes. Yet, significant gaps remain in our understanding of mouse islet physiology that reduce their accuracy as a model for human islet disease. We generated comprehensive transcriptomes of mouse beta and alpha cells using a novel bitransgenic mouse model generated for this purpose. This enables systematic comparison across thousands of genes between the two major endocrine cell types of the islets of Langerhans whose principal hormones are of cardinal importance for glucose homeostasis. Our data leveraged against similar data for human beta cells reveal a core common beta cell transcriptome of 9900+ genes and marked differences in the repertoire of receptors and long non-coding RNAs between mouse and human beta cells. The comprehensive comparison of the (dis)similarities between mouse and human beta cells represents an invaluable resource to boost the effectiveness by which rodent models offer guidance in finding cures for human diabetes. FACS purified alpha and beta cells from the same islets. Islets were isolated from bitransgenic offspring of a cross between mIns1-H2b-mCherry and S100b-eGFP transgenic reporter mice that mark beta and alpha cells, respectively. Islets from two replicate groups of 10 or 11 animals were pooled by sex to obtain sufficient material. Pooled islets were dissociated, sorted and collect in Trizol for RNA isolation and library construction.

Gene expression profiling of MafA, MafB, and MafA/MafB Mutants in E18.5 pancreas

Project description:MafA and MafB transcription factors have been shown to be key regulators of insulin and glucagon transcription. MafB is essential for alpha and beta cell differentiation, as MafB deficient mice produced fewer insulin+ and glucagon+ cells during development, with MafA expressed in remaining insulin+ cells. In contrast, beta cell development was reported to be normal in a total MafA knock out, although the animals developed beta cell dysfunction and diabetes as adults. However, we have found that MafB expression is elevated during development and retained in adult insulin+ cells after conditional removal of MafA in the pancreas. These studies will evaluate the broader significance of these insulin and glucagon regulators in alpha and beta cell development and function. Our efforts will focus on determining if the concerted actions of MafA and MafB factors are significant to beta cell formation, and we specifically plan to: Determine how alpha and beta cell differentiation is affected in MafA/MafB compound mutant mice during pancreas development. cDNA microarray studies (pancchip 6.0) with wild type, MafAKO, MafB-/-, and MafAKOMafB-/- mutant E18.5 pancreata will be performed to comprehensively identify genes controlled by MafA and MafB in developing alpha and beta cells.

A single-cell transcriptome atlas of the human pancreas [CEL-seq2]

Project description:To understand organ function it is important to have an inventory of the cell types present in the tissue and of the corresponding markers that identify them. This is a particularly challenging task for human tissues like the pancreas, since reliable markers are limited. Transcriptome-wide studies are typically done on pooled islets of Langerhans, which obscures contributions from rare cell types and/or potential subpopulations. To overcome this challenge, we developed an automated single-cell sequencing platform to sequence the transcriptome of thousands of single pancreatic cells from deceased organ donors, allowing in silico purification of all main pancreatic cell types. We identify cell type-specific transcription factors, a subpopulation of REG3A-positive acinar cells, and cell surface markers that allow sorting of live alpha and beta cells with high purity. This resource will be useful for developing a deeper understanding of pancreatic biology and pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus.

Artemisinins target GABAA receptor signaling and impair alpha cell identity

Project description:Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the destruction of pancrea tic beta cells, and generating new insulin-producing cells from other cell types is a major aim of regenerative medicine. One promising approach is transdifferentiation of developmentally related pancreatic cell types including glucagon-producing alpha cells. In a genetic model, loss of the master regulatory transcription factor Arx is sufficient to induce the conversion of alpha cells to functional beta-like cells. Here we identify artemisinins as small molecules that functionally repress Arx by causing its translocation to the cytoplasm. We show that the protein gephyrin is the mammalian target of these antimalaria drugs, and that enhancement of GABAA receptor signaling contributes to the mechanism of action of these molecules in pancreatic transdifferentiation. Our results in zebrafish, rodents and primary human pancreatic islets indicate that gephyrin is a novel druggable target for the regeneration of pancreatic beta cell mass from alpha cells.

SUFU and SPOP mediated downregulation of Hh signaling promotes pancreatic beta-cell differentiation through the regulation of organ-specific stromal niche signals

Project description:Purpose: Human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC)-derived insulin-producing beta cells offer a promising cell-based therapy for diabetes. However, efficient hESC to beta cell differentiation has proven difficult, possibly due to the lack of cross-talk with the appropriate mesenchymal niche. To define organ-specific niche signals, we isolated pancreatic and gastrointestinal stromal cells and analyzed their transcriptomes during development. Methods: mRNA profiles from E13.5 mice were generated from mesenchymal cells dissected from wild-type (WT) intestine, stomach, pancreas and mutant Sufu-/- Spop -/- pancreatic mesenchyme, in duplicate, by illumina HiSeq 2500. Reads were aligned to the mm10 assembly and unambiguously mapping reads were analyzed at the gene level for differential expression between tissue types alignment using STAR and differential analysis using DESeq2. Results: Using our workflow, we mapped about 30 million reads per sample to mm10. Differential expression (DE) analysis identified over 900 significantly differentially expressed genes between WT pancreatic mesenchyme and gastrointestinal mesenchymes, and over 1100 genes differentially expressed between WT and mutant pancreatic mesenchyme. Our findings reveal the importance of tightly-regulated Hh signaling in the pancreatic mesenchyme. In vivo inactivation of mesenchymal Hh signaling leads to annular pancreas, and stroma-specific activation of Hh signaling via loss of Hh regulators, Sufu and Spop, impairs pancreatic growth and beta cell genesis. Genetic rescue and transcriptome analyses show that these Sufu and Spop knockout defects occur through GLI2-mediated activation of gastrointestinal stromal signals such as Wnt ligands. Importantly, inhibition of Wnt signaling in organoid and hESC cultures significantly promotes insulin-producing cell generation, revealing the requirement for organ-specific regulation of stromal niche signals.
