Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of the effects of DTA-1 treatment on sorted mouse adipose tissue ILC2 Transcriptomes

ABSTRACT: Metabolic syndrome is characterized by disturbances in glucose homeostasis and the development of low-grade systemic inflammation, which increase the risk to develop type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are a recently discovered immune population secreting Th2-cytokines. While previous studies show how ILC2s can play a critical role in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis in the adipose tissue, a therapeutic target capable of modulating ILC2 activation has yet to be identified. Here, we show that GITR, a member of the TNF superfamily, is expressed on both murine and human ILC2s. Strikingly, we demonstrate that GITR engagement of activated, but not naïve, ILC2s improves glucose homeostasis, resulting in both protection against insulin-resistance onset and amelioration of established insulin-resistance. Together, these results highlight the critical role of GITR as a novel therapeutic molecule against T2DM and its fundamental role as an immune checkpoint for activated ILC2s.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of the effects of DR-3 agonist on sorted mouse VAT ILC2 Transcriptomes

Project description:Disturbances in glucose homeostasis and low-grade chronic inflammation culminate into metabolic syndrome that increase the risk for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The recently discovered type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are capable of secreting copious amounts of type 2 cytokines to modulate metabolic homeostasis in adipose tissue. In this study, we have established that expression of Death Receptor 3 (DR3), a member of the TNF superfamily, on visceral adipose tissue (VAT)-derived murine and peripheral blood human ILC2s is inducible by IL-33. We demonstrate that DR3 engages the canonical and/or non-canonical NF-B pathways, and thus stimulates naïve and co-stimulates IL-33-activated ILC2s. Importantly, DR3 engagement on ILC2s significantly ameliorates glucose tolerance, protects against insulin-resistance onset and remarkably reverses already established insulin-resistance. Taken together, these results convey the potent role of DR3 as an ILC2 regulator and introduce DR3 agonistic treatment as a novel therapeutic avenue for treating T2DM.

Role of CB2 in adipose tissue ILC2s

Project description:Development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated low-grade chronic type 2 inflammation and disturbance of glucose homeostasis. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a critical role in maintaining adipose homeostasis via production of type 2 cytokines. Here, we demonstrate that CB2, a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and member of endocannabinoid system, is expressed on both visceral adipose tissue (VAT)-derived murine and human ILC2s. Moreover, we utilize a combination of ex vivo and in vivo approaches to explore the functional and therapeutic impacts of CB2 engagement on VAT ILC2s in T2DM model. Our results show CB2 stimulation of ILC2s protects against insulin-resistance onset, ameliorates glucose tolerance, and reverses established insulin-resistance. Our mechanistic studies reveal that the therapeutic effects of CB2 are mediated through activation of AKT, ERK1/2 and CREB pathways on ILC2s. The results reveal that CB2 agonist can serve as candidate for prevention and treatment of T2DM.

An estrogen receptor α-derived peptide improves glucose homeostasis during obesity

Project description:Estrogen improves insulin sensitivity and increases energy expenditure, contributing to sexual dimorphism regarding type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) susceptibility. Estrogen receptor α (ERα) plays a crucial role in mediating estrogen action on glucose and energy homeostasis. However, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we found a ligand-independent effect of ERα on the regulation of glucose homeostasis and identified an ERα-derived peptide as a potential insulin sensitizer. Deficiency of ERα but not ERβ in the liver impaired glucose homeostasis in male, female, and ovariectomized (OVX) female mice. Mechanistic studies revealed that ERα promoted hepatic insulin sensitivity by suppressing ubiquitination-induced IRS1 degradation. The ERα 1-280 domain mediated the ligand-independent effect of ERα on insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, we designed a peptide based on ERα 1-280 domain and found that ERα-derived peptide interacted with IRS1, increased IRS1 stability through suppressing its ubiquitination, and enhanced insulin sensitivity. Importantly, administration of ERα-derived peptide into obese mice significantly increased insulin sensitivity, attenuated glucose intolerance, and improved serum lipid profiles. These findings pave the way for the therapeutic intervention of T2DM by targeting the ligand-independent effect of ERα and indicate that ERα-derived peptide is a potential insulin sensitizer for the treatment of T2DM.

Mouse ILC2 cells from wild-type or Gfi1-KO animals

Project description:Innate type-2 lymphocytes (ILC2s) are a newly described cell type whose biology and contribution to disease are poorly understood. We are interested in investigating the role of the transcription factor Gfi1 in ILC2s, which appear to be a prominent source of IL-5 and IL-13 during type-2 immune responses. We have compelling evidence demonstrating a critical role for Gfi1 in the development and effector state of ILC2s. We would like to elucidate the molecular role of Gfi1 in ILC2s by identifying Gfi1-regulated genes by microarray analysis. Gfi1+/+ or Gfi1GFP/GFP (a GFP cassette has been 'knocked-in' to the Gfi1 locus and thus functions both as a surrogate for Gfi1 promoter activity and as a loss-of-function allele) mice were injected with IL-25 once daily for 4 days. On day 5, ILC2s (Lin-/Sca-1+/ICOS+/CD127+/c-Kit+) were sorted from the mesenteric lymph nodes of Gfi1+/+ (3 mice/sample were pooled together) or Gfi1-/- mice (6 mice/sample were pooled together) and cultured for 6 days in RPMI 1640, 10% FBS, Gln, P/S, 2ME, IL-2 (50ng/ml), IL-7 (10ng/ml), and IL-25 (50ng/ml). Whole RNA was harvested on day 6 via the RNeasy kit (Qiagen).

Vascular endothelial growth factor B regulates insulin secretion in β cells of type 2 diabetes mellitus mice via PLCγ and IP3R-evoked Ca2+/CaMK2 signal pathway

Project description:Vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGFB) plays a crucial role in glucolipid metabolism and is highly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The role of VEGFB in the insulin secretion of β cells remains unverified. Thus, this study aims to discuss the effect of VEGFB on regulating insulin secretion in T2DM development, and its underlying mechanism. A high-fat diet and streptozocin were used for inducing T2DM in mice model, and VEGFB gene in islet cells of T2DM mice was knocked out by CRISPR Cas9 and overexpressed by Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) injection. The effect of VEGFB and its underlying mechanism was assessed by light microscope, electron microscope, fluorescence confocal microscope, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, mass spectrometer, and western blot. The decrement of insulin secretion in islet β cell of T2DM mice are aggravated and blood glucose remains at a high level after VEGFB deletion. However, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity of T2DM mice were improved after the AAV-VEGFB186 injection. VEGFB knockout or overexpression can inhibit or activate PLCγ/IP3R in a VEGFR1-dependent manner. Then, the change of PLCγ/IP3R caused by VEGFB/VEGFR1 will alter the expression of key factors on the Ca2+/CaMK2 signal pathway such as PPP3CA. Moreover, VEGFB can cause altered insulin secretion by changing the calcium concentration in β cells of T2DM mice. These findings indicated that VEGFB activated the Ca2+/CaMK2 pathway via VEGFR1-PLCγ and IP3R pathway to regulate insulin secretion, which provides new insight into the regulatory mechanism of abnormal insulin secretion in T2DM.

Liver ILC2s suppress gluconeogenesis and limit blood glucose elevation through IL-13 signaling [scRNA-seq_Hepatocyte]

Project description:The liver stores glycogen and releases blood glucose and is therefore essential for glucose metabolism. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in adipose and pancreatic tissues are involved in glucose homeostasis, but the metabolic contribution of liver ILC2s remains unclear. Herein, we show that interleukin (IL)-33 treatment induced IL-13 production in liver ILC2s, which consequently reduced blood glucose levels. IL-13 also directly suppressed gluconeogenesis in primary hepatocytes. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and cell-cell interaction analysis in liver ILC2s and hepatocytes demonstrated that IL-33 administration suppressed gluconeogenesis in a specific Hnf4a/G6pchigh-hepatocyte cluster involving expression of Stat3, which significantly interacted with liver ILC2s via IL-13/IL-13 receptor signaling. To address the regulatory mechanism underlying IL-13 production in liver ILC2s, we performed GATA3 transcriptional complex analysis, and GATA3-ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, and scRNA-seq trajectory analyses, focusing on GATA3-interacting proteins that were functionally specific in ILC2s. AP-1 family members were found to suppress the induction of IL-13 in liver ILC2s. Thus, our study revealed a novel role for liver ILC2s in glucose homeostasis.
