Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex disease characterized by the inability of the insulin-producing β-cells in the endocrine pancreas to overcome insulin resistance in peripheral tissues. To determine if microRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of human T2DM, we sequenced the small RNAs of human islets from diabetic and non-diabetic organ donors. We identified a cluster of miRNAs in an imprinted locus on human chromosome 14q32 that is highly and specifically expressed in human β-cells and dramatically down-regulated in islets from T2DM organ donors. The down-regulation of this locus strongly correlates with hyper-methylation of its promoter. Using HITS-CLIP for the essential RISC-component Argonaute, we identified disease-relevant targets of the chromosome 14q32 microRNAs, such as IAPP and TP53INP1 that cause increased β-cell apoptosis upon over-expression in human islets. Our results support a role for microRNAs and their epigenetic control by DNA methylation in the pathogenesis of T2DM.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multi-factorial disease characterized by the inability of beta-cells in the endocrine pancreas to produce sufficient amounts of insulin to overcome insulin resistance in peripheral tissue. To investigate the function of miRNAs in T2DM, we sequenced the small RNAs of human islets cells from diabetic and non-diabetic organ donors and identified a cluster of miRNAs in an imprinted locus on human chromosome 14 to be dramatically down-regulated in T2DM islets. These miRNAs are highly and specifically expressed in human beta-cells. The down-regulation of this imprinted locus strongly correlates with increased methylation of its promoter in T2DM islets, providing evidence for an epigenetic modification that contributes to the pathogenesis of T2DM. Targets of the Chr 14q32 cluster of miRNAs were identified by high-throughput sequencing of cross-linked and immunoprecipitated RNA (HITS-CLIP) of Argonaute. We have also identified a unique class of sequences, termed chimeric reads, that represent an in vivo ligation of miRNAs and their targets while in complex with Argonaute, and which allow for the direct identification of miRNA:target relationships in vivo. There are three experiments in this submission. All are in human islets or islet cell types. The first is a comparison of miRNA levels in sorted alpha versus beta cells. There is one replicate for this experiment. The second experiment is to measure the expression of miRNAs in whole islets as a function of glucose levels. There are three levels and one replicate for each condition. The third exeriment is a comparison of whole islets taken from human donors that were suspected/confirmed Type 2 diabetic or considered controls. There are 3 controls and 4 T2D samples.

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:The main cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetes mellitus (DM) are cardiovascular complications. Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains incompletely understood. Animal models have been crucial in exploring DCM pathophysiology while identifying potential therapeutic targets. Streptozotocin (STZ) has been widely used to produce experimental models of both type 1 and type 2 DM (T1DM and T2DM). Here we compared these two models for their effects on cardiac structure, function, and transcriptome. Different doses of STZ and different diet chows were used to generate T1DM and T2DM in C57BL/6J mice. Normal euglycemic and non-obese sex and age-matched mice served as controls (CTRL). Immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR, and RNA-Seq were employed to compare hearts from the three animal groups. STZ-induced T1DM and T2DM differently affect left ventricular function and myocardial performance. T1DM displays an exaggerated apoptotic cardiomyocyte (CM) death and reactive hypertrophy and fibrosis along with increased cardiac oxidative stress, CM DNA damage and senescence when compared to T2DM mice. T1DM and T2DM differently affect whole cardiac transcriptome. In conclusion, STZ-induced T1DM and T2DM mouse models show significant differences in cardiac remodeling, function and whole transcriptome. These differences could be of key relevance when choosing an animal model to study specific features of DCM.

Project description:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common complication of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Understanding the pathogenesis of this complication is essential in both diagnosis and management. Thus, this study aimed to characterize the presence of CAD in T2DM using molecular markers and pathway analyses. Total RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) underwent whole transcriptomic profiling using the Illumina HumanHT-12 v4.0 expression beadchip. Differential gene expression with gene ontogeny analyses was performed, with supporting correlational analyses using weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA)

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease associated with several comorbidities, including cardiac dysfunction leading to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), in turn resulting in T2DM-induced cardiomyopathy (T2DM-CM). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of T2DM-CM are poorly understood. It is hypothesized that molecular alterations in myopathic genes induced by diabetes promote the development of HFpEF, whereas cardiac myosin inhibitors can rescue the resultant T2DM-induced cardiomyopathy. To test this hypothesis, a Leptin receptor-deficient db/db homozygous (Lepr db/db) mouse model was used to define the pathogenesis of T2DM-CM. Echocardiographic studies at 4 and 6 months revealed that Lepr db/db hearts started developing cardiac dysfunction by four months, and left ventricular hypertrophy with diastolic dysfunction was evident at 6 months. Strikingly, the level of cardiac myosin binding protein-C phosphorylation was significantly increased in Lepr db/db mouse hearts. RNA-seq data analysis, followed by functional enrichment, revealed the differential regulation of genes related to cardiac dysfunction in Lepr db/db heart tissues. Finally, using isolated skinned papillary muscles and freshly isolated cardiomyocytes, CAMZYOS (mavacamten, which is a prescription heart medicine used for symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy treatment (herein after denotes as MYK-461), was tested for its ability to rescue T2DM-CM. Compared with controls, MYK-461 significantly reduced force generation in papillary muscle fibers and cardiomyocyte contractility in the db/db group. This line of evidence shows that 1) T2DM-CM is associated with hyperphosphorylation of cardiac myosin binding protein-C and 2) MYK-461 significantly lessened disease progression, suggesting its promise as a therapeutic treatment for HFpEF.
