Metformin-induced alterations in peripheral blood cell trancriptome of healthy individuals

ABSTRACT: Metformin is a commonly used antihyperglycaemic agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Nevertheless, the exact mechanisms of action, underlying the various therapeutic effects of metformin, remain elusive. The goal of this study was to evaluate the alterations in longitudinal whole-blood transcriptome profiles of healthy individuals after a one-week metformin intervention in order to identify the novel molecular targets and further prompt the discovery of predictive biomarkers of metformin response. Next generation sequencing-based transcriptome analysis revealed four clusters of functionally related genes with a subject-specific differential expression even after a single dose of metformin: ribosomal genes and their pseudogenes (e.g., RNA5-8SN1, RNA5-8SN5, RNY4P10), small nuclear RNAs (e.g., SNORA20, SCARNA5, SNORA80E), genes relevant to insulin production (HNF1B, HNF1A, HNF4A, GCK, INS, NEUROD1, PAX4, PDX1, ABCC8, KCNJ11) and cholesterol homeostasis (APOB, LDLR, PCSK9). After accounting for subject-specific expression, the enrichment of pathways associated with immune responses, such as intestinal immune network for IgA production and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction were observed for the majority of the cohort. The results of the study reveal for the first time a strong inter-individual variation of the metformin effect on the transcriptional regulation, that goes in line with well-known variability of the therapeutic response to the drug.

PAX4 loss of function alters human endocrine cell development and influences diabetes risk [dataset 2]

Project description:Diabetes is a major chronic disease with an excessive healthcare burden on society. A coding variant (p.Arg192His) in the transcription factor PAX4 is uniquely and reproducibly associated with altered risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) in East Asian populations, whilst rare PAX4 alleles have been proposed to cause monogenic diabetes8. In mice, Pax4 is essential for beta cell formation but neither the role of diabetes-associated variants in PAX4 nor PAX4 itself on human beta cell development and/or function are known. Here, we demonstrate that non-diabetic carriers of either the PAX4 p.Arg192His or a newly identified p.Tyr186X allele exhibit decreased pancreatic beta cell function. In the human beta cell model, EndoC-βH1, PAX4 knockdown led to impaired insulin secretion, reduced total insulin content and altered hormone gene expression. Deletion of PAX4 in isogenic human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived beta-like cells resulted in de-repression of alpha cell gene expression whilst in vitro differentiation of hiPSCs from carriers of PAX4 p.192His and p.186X alleles exhibited increased polyhormonal endocrine cell formation and reduced insulin content. In silico and in vitro studies showed that these PAX4 alleles cause either reduced PAX4 expression or function. Correction of the diabetes-associated PAX4 alleles reversed these phenotypic changes. Together, we demonstrate the role of PAX4 in human endocrine cell development, beta cell function and its contribution to type 2 diabetes risk.

Characterizing glucokinase variant mechanisms using a multiplexed abundance assay

Project description:Amino acid substitutions can perturb protein activity in multiple ways. Understanding their mechanistic basis may pinpoint how residues contribute to protein function. Here, we characterize the mechanisms of human glucokinase (GCK) variants, building on our previous comprehensive study on GCK variant activity. We assayed the abundance of 95\% GCK missense and nonsense variants, and found that 59\% of hypoactive variants have a decreased cellular abundance. By combining our abundance scores with predictions of protein thermodynamic stability, we identify residues important for GCK metabolic stability and conformational dynamics. These residues could be targeted to modulate GCK activity, and thereby affect glucose homeostasis.

Metformin Induces Dicer via Regulation of the RNA-binding protein AUF1

Project description:Metformin has been commonly used for decades to treat type 2 diabetes. Recent data indicates that mice treated with metformin live longer and healthier lives. Here, we show that chronic metformin exposure in mice and diabetics taking metformin have higher levels of the microRNA processing protein, Dicer. Examination of how metformin affects Dicer expression revealed that metformin alters binding of the AUF1 RNA-binding protein to DICER1 mRNA, which leads to stabilization of DICER1 mRNA. We found differential changes in microRNA expression in mice treated with metformin or caloric restriction, a proven life extending intervention. Several of these microRNAs are important for regulating cellular senescence and lifespan in model organisms. Consistent with this observation, treatment with metformin decreased cellular senescence in a Dicer-dependent manner. These data lead us to hypothesize that changes in Dicer levels may be important for organismal aging and that interventions that upregulate Dicer expression (e.g., metformin) may offer new therapeutic approaches to combat or prevent age-related diseases. Key words: diabetes mellitus, metformin, senescence, miRNA, RNA-binding proteins

Multiplexed assessment of human glucokinase variant activity

Project description:Diabetes is a complex genetic disease affecting millions of people worldwide. A common monogenic form of diabetes is glucokinase (GCK) maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GCK-MODY), which is caused by heterozygous inactivating variants in the gene encoding GCK. GCK catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose and is known as the pancreatic glucose sensor. Patients with GCK-MODY, in contrast to other diabetics, often do not require treatment but are frequently misdiagnosed and treated unnecessarily. Genetic testing can prevent this, but is hampered by the challenge of interpreting genetic variants. To address this challenge, we generated a comprehensive map of human GCK variant activity. The activity map includes 97% of the possible missense and nonsense variants and correlate with in vitro catalytic efficiency, fasting glucose levels in patients and evolutionary conservation analysis. Activity scores include both hyper- and hypoactive variants.

A stem cell model of diabetes due to glucokinase deficiency

Project description:Diabetes is a disorder characterized by loss of beta cell mass and/or beta cell function, leading to deficiency of insulin relative to metabolic need. To determine whether stem cell derived-beta cells faithfully reflect the phenotypes of a diabetic subject, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells from diabetic subjects (MODY2) with heterozygous loss-of-function of the gene encoding glucokinase (GCK). These stem cells differentiated into beta cells with an efficiency comparable to controls, and expressed markers of mature beta cells, urocotin-3 and zinc transporter 8 upon transplantation into mice. While insulin secretion in response to arginine or other secretagogues was identical to cells from healthy controls, GCK mutant beta cells required higher glucose levels to stimulate insulin secretion. Importantly this glucose-specific phenotype was fully reverted upon gene sequence correction by homologous recombination. Our results demonstrate that stem cell-derived beta cells reflect beta cell-autonomous phenotypes of MODY2 subjects, providing a platform for mechanistic analysis of specific genotypes on beta cell function.

Human pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids reveal tubular epithelial pathobiology of heterozygous HNF1B-associated dysplastic kidney malformations K

Project description:Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1B (HNF1B) encodes a transcription factor expressed in developing human kidney epithelia. Heterozygous HNF1B mutations are the commonest monogenic cause of dysplastic kidney malformations (DKMs). To understand their pathobiology, we generated heterozygous HNF1B mutant kidney organoids from CRISPR-Cas9 gene-edited human ESCs and iPSCs reprogrammed from a family with HNF1B-asscociated DKMs. Mutant organoids contained enlarged malformed tubules and displayed deregulated cell turnover. This submission contains kidney tissue samples.

Impaired GR expression in liver disrupts feeding induced gene expression, glucose uptake and glycogen storage

Project description:The transition from a fasted to a fed state is associated with extensive transcriptional remodeling in hepatocytes facilitated by hormonal- and nutritional-regulated transcription factors. Here, we use a liver-specific glucocorticoid receptor (GR) knock-out (L-GRKO) model and primary hepatocytes to investigate the temporal expression of GR target genes in response to feeding. Interestingly, in addition to the well described fasting-regulated genes, we identify a subset of hepatic feeding-induced genes that requires GR for full expression, adding new insights to hepatic GR function. The GR-controlled feeding-induced genes include Gck encoding the glucokinase, which is important for hepatic glucose uptake, utilization and storage. We show that insulin and glucocorticoids cooperatively regulate Gck expression in primary hepatocytes in a GR-dependent manner. ChIP-seq experiments suggest direct GR regulation of Gck by GR occupancy of the promoter and two putative regulatory regions near the Gck gene (Gck -1kb and Gck -4.6kb). Enhancer-reporter assays and CRISPRi suggest that the 4.6kb upstream GR binding site is a functional Gck enhancer. L-GRKO blunts preprandial and early postprandial Gck expression and GR disruption ultimately affects early postprandial hepatic glucose uptake, phosphorylation and glycogen storage. Collectively, our study demonstrates how GR is positively involved in the hepatic feeding response exemplified in the direct regulation of the feeding-induced transcription of glucokinase, important for hepatic glucose metabolism.
