A peninsular structure coordinates asynchronous differentiation with morphogenesis to generate pancreatic islets

ABSTRACT: This scRNA-seq data is an integral part of a manuscript with the above title. Using computational methods, we were able to reconstruct a detailed branched trajectory reflecting pancreatic endocrine differentiation in the mouse embryo. Analysis of the transcriptional changes occuring during the differentiation suggested that epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition likely plays no role in this process, contrary to the prevailing dogma. Our findings were corroborated with high-resolution imaging of the developing pancreas, revealing how differentiating endocrine progenitors migrate in cohesion, forming bud-like islet precursors, or "peninsulas", and that spatiotemporal collinearity during differentiation leads to the typical core-mantle architecture of the mature, spherical islet. This work led to a complete overhaul of our understanding of how pancreatic islets are developed, laying the ground for the generation of entire islets in vitro as a potential novel source of islet transplantation.

A peninsular structure coordinates asynchronous differentiation with morphogenesis to generate pancreatic islets [bulk vs buds]

Project description:This RNA-seq data is an integral part of a manuscript with the above title. To better characterize the buds appearing on the surface of the spheroidal clusters during the directed differentiation of HUES8 human embryonic stem cells to pancreatic endocrine cells, we performed bulk RNA-sequencing of the buds versus the bulks. Our results indicate that the buds indeed consist of pancreatic endocrine cells, illustrating our ability to recapitulate in vitro our in vivo observations of pancreatic islets forming via peninsular intermediates. See manuscript for more information.

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

Project description: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 vasculature and innervation, islet microenvironment, and β cell mass, we transiently increased VEGF-A production by β cells. VEGF-A induction dramatically increased the number of intra-islet ECs but led to β cell loss. After withdrawal of the VEGF-A stimulus, β cell mass, function, and islet structure normalized as a result of a robust, but transient, burst in proliferation of pre-existing β cells. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (MΦs) recruited to the site of β cell injury were crucial for the β cell proliferation, which was independent of pancreatic location and circulating factors such as glucose. Identification of the signals responsible for the proliferation of adult, terminally differentiated β cells will improve strategies aimed at β cell regeneration and expansion. Examination of RNA profiles from isolated whole islets from RIP-rtTA; TetO-VEGF-A mice with no doxycycline (Dox) treatment (3 samples) and after 1 week of Dox (3 sample); and islet-derived macrophages (3 samples) and endothelial cells (3 samples) isolated from dispersed purified islets from RIP-rtTA; TetO-VEGF-A mice after 1 week Dox treatment by fluorescence-activated cell sorting using antibodies against CD11b and CD31, respectively.

H3K4 trimethylation is required for postnatal pancreatic endocrine cell functional maturation

Project description:During pancreas development, endocrine progenitors differentiate into the islet-cell subtypes, which undergo further functional maturation in postnatal islet development. In islet b-cells, genes involved in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion are activated and glucose exposure increases the insulin response as b-cells mature. Here, we investigated the role of H3K4 trimethylation in endocrine cell differentiation and functional maturation by disrupting TrxG complex histone methyltransferase activity in mouse endocrine progenitors. In the embryo, genetic inactivation of TrxG component Dpy30 in NEUROG3+ cells did not affect the number of endocrine progenitors or endocrine cell differentiation. H3K4 trimethylation was progressively lost in postnatal islets and the mice displayed elevated non-fasting and fasting glycemia, as well as impaired glucose tolerance by postnatal day 24. Although postnatal endocrine cell proportions were equivalent to controls, islet RNA-sequencing revealed a downregulation of genes involved in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and an upregulation of immature b-cell genes. Comparison of histone modification enrichment profiles in NEUROG3+ endocrine progenitors and mature islets suggested that genes downregulated by loss of H3K4 trimethylation more frequently acquire active histone modifications during maturation. Taken together, these findings suggest that H3K4 trimethylation is required for the activation of genes involved in the functional maturation of pancreatic islet endocrine cells.

Long-term expansion of functional pancreatic islets on a laminin-521 matrix and curative transplantation into diabetic mice

Project description:In this study we show, for the first time, that whole islets can be cultured and significantly expanded long-term in vitro on specific basement membrane (BM) laminin LN-521 which is a normal component of islet BMs. Isolated islets adhere and flatten to form 2-3 cell layer entities with ~10 % of all endocrine cell types proliferating after 2-5 weeks in culture. Time-lapse imaging of freshly isolated islets in suspension labeled with hypoxia and DNA degradation indicators reveals that spherical islets on LN-111 rapidly develop hypoxia and central necrosis, in contrast to islets attached to LN-521, which normal b-cell glucose responsiveness. RNA sequencing analyses reveal that freshly isolated islets express LN-521 binding integrins. Compared to other matrices, islets grown on LN-521 develop a unique expression signature, including expression of specific integrins, involved in cell adhesion and matrix production as well as proliferation. The results reveal specific LN-521-mediated effects into islet cells and suggest that use of in vitro expanded islets may significantly enhance the efficacy of islet transplantation treatment of T1D.

RNA sequencing of pancreatic islet-derived beta cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells modulated by vascular endothelial growth factor-A signaling

Synaptotagmin 13 drives pancreatic endocrine cell egression and islet morphogenesis: Affinity purification

Project description:Identification of protein complexes for the synaptotagmin 13 protein from MDCK cells by Strep affinity purificaiton and LFQ mass spectrometry. Epithelial cell egression is important for organ development and cell differentiation, but also drives cancer metastasis. The tightly connected pancreatic epithelial differentiation and morphogenesis generate islets of Langerhans. However, the morphogenetic drivers and molecular mechanisms are largely unresolved. Here we identify the uncharacterized Synaptotagmin 13 (Syt13) as a major regulator of endocrine cell egression and islet morphogenesis and differentiation. We detected upregulation of Syt13 in endocrine precursors that associates with increased expression of several unique cytoskeletal components. High-resolution imaging reveals a previously unidentified apical-basal to front-rear repolarization during endocrine cell egression. Strikingly, Syt13 directly interacts with acetylated tubulin and phosphoinositide phospholipids to be recruited to the leading edge of egressing cells. Knockout of Syt13 discloses the impairment in endocrine cell egression and skews the α-to-β-cell ratio. At mechanistic levels, Syt13 regulates protein endocytosis to remodel the basement membrane and modulate cell-matrix adhesion at the leading edge of egressing endocrine cells. Altogether, these findings implicate that Ca2+-independent atypical Syt13 vesicular protein functions in regulating cell polarity to orchestrate endocrine cell egression and tissue morphogenesis.

Age-associated DNA methylation increases in mouse pancreatic islets suggest an epigenetic drift toward the exocrine pancreas epigenome

Project description:Early postnatal overnutrition causes persistent dysregulation of endocrine pancreas function. We used genome-scale DNA methylation profiling in the suckling-period small litter (SL) mouse model to test whether this occurs via persistent epigenetic changes in pancreatic islets. Although SL islets showed DNA methylation changes directly after weaning and in adulthood, few of these were present at both ages, contrary to our hypothesis. Most interestingly, we discovered that genomic regions that are hypermethylated in exocrine relative to endocrine pancreas tend to gain methylation in islets during aging. Focusing on a subset of genes relevant to β cell function, we showed that these methylation differences are strongly correlated with expression. Together, our results provide the novel insight that DNA methylation changes that occur as islets age indicate an overall epigenetic drift toward the exocrine pancreas epigenome. These concerted shifts in the islet methylome could contribute to the age-associated decline in endocrine pancreas function. Pancreatic islets were isolated from P21/P180 SL or C mice. To ensure purity of islets, 3 rounds of manual picking were performed in each samples. Whole pancreas samples, ~98% of which is exocrine pancreas, were used as exocrine pancreas. There are 5 mice per group.
