Revealing the Key Regulators of Cell Identity in the Human Adult Pancreas [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Cellular identity during development is under the control of transcription factors that form gene regulatory networks. However, the transcription factors and gene regulatory networks underlying cellular identity in the human adult pancreas remain largely unexplored. Here, we integrate multiple single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets of the human adult pancreas, totaling 7393 cells, and comprehensively reconstruct gene regulatory networks. We show that a network of 142 transcription factors forms distinct regulatory modules that characterize pancreatic cell types. We present evidence that our approach identifies key regulators of cell identity in the human adult pancreas. We predict that HEYL, BHLHE41 and JUND are active in acinar, beta and alpha cells, respectively, and show that these proteins are present in the human adult pancreas as well as in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived islet cells. Using single cell transcriptomics, we found that JUND represses beta cell genes in hiPSC-alpha cells. Both BHLHE41 and JUND depletion seemed to increase the number of sc-enterochromaffin cells in hiPSC-derived islets. The comprehensive gene regulatory network atlas can be explored interactively online. We anticipate our analysis to be the starting point for a more sophisticated dissection of how transcription factors regulate cell identity in the human adult pancreas. Furthermore, given that transcription factors are major regulators of embryo development and are often perturbed in diseases, a comprehensive understanding of how transcription factors work will be relevant in development and disease.

Bhlhe40 and Bhlhe41 transcription factors regulate alveolar macrophage self-renewal and identity

Project description:Tissues in multicellular organisms are ‘serviced’ by resident macrophages, which perform both generic and tissue-specific functions. The latter relies on unique tissue-specific molecular programs induced by signals from the microenvironment and executed through a combinatorial action of tissue-specific and broadly expressed transcriptional regulators. Here, we identify the transcription factors Bhlhe40 and Bhlhe41 as novel regulators of alveolar macrophages (AMs) – a population that provides the first line of immune defense and executes homeostatic functions in lung alveoli. In the absence of these factors, AMs exhibited decreased proliferation that resulted in a severe disadvantage of knockout AMs in a competitive setting. Gene expression analyses revealed a broad cell-intrinsic footprint of Bhlhe40/Bhlhe41-deficiency manifested by a downregulation of AM signature genes and induction of signature genes of other macrophage lineages. Genome-wide characterization of Bhlhe40 DNA binding suggested that these transcription factors directly repress the expression of lineage-inappropriate genes in AMs. Taken together, these results identify Bhlhe40 and Bhlhe41 as key regulators of AM self-renewal and guardians of their identity.

An integrated cell purification and genomics strategy reveals multiple regulators of pancreas development.

Project description:The regulatory logic underlying global transcriptional programs controlling development of visceral organs like the pancreas remains undiscovered. Here, we profiled gene expression in 12 purified populations of fetal and adult pancreatic epithelial cells representing crucial progenitor cell subsets, and their endocrine or exocrine progeny. Using probabilistic models to decode the general programs organizing gene expression, we identified co-expressed gene modules in cell subsets that revealed patterns and processes governing progenitor cell development, lineage specification, and endocrine cell maturation. Module network analysis linked established regulators like Neurog3 to unrecognized roles in endocrine secretion and protein transport, and nominated multiple candidate regulators of pancreas development. Phenotyping mutant mice revealed that candidate regulatory genes encoding transcription factors, including Bcl11a, Etv1, Prdm16 and Runx1t1, are essential for pancreas development or glucose control. Our integrated approach provides a unique framework for identifying regulatory networks underlying pancreas development and diseases like diabetes mellitus. Gene expression analysis: 12 primary cell populations from wild-type pancreas and 1 cell type from a mutant background (E15 Ngn3-null cells) pancreas (in fetal and adult stage) were purified using a combination of cell surface markers and transgenic reporters. Total RNA was isolated from each cell type in at least biological triplicates, amplified and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 arrays.

Stem cell mRNA panel of human pluripotent and adult stem cells

Project description:Induction of pluripotency in somatic cells needs the full activation of the pluripotency gene regulatory network (PGRN). The core transcription factors of the PGRN establish a crosstalk with specific micro RNA (miRNA) families to sustain the pluripotent program and govern cell fate decisions. Very recently, circular RNA (circRNA) have been proposed as novel players in the regulation of this molecular circuitry. Herein, we successfully generated human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) by zero-footprint reprogramming of cord blood mesenchymal stem cells. The hiPSC were extensively characterized for stemness and tri-lineage differentiation potential compared to human embryonic stem cells and parental unreprogrammed cells to assess complete acquisition of the pluripotent identity. High-throughput array-based molecular analyses of messenger RNA (mRNA) (631 genes), miRNA (754 miRNA) and, for the first time, circRNA (13,617 circRNA) were performed to address the role of circRNA in the PGRN. As a result, a circRNA-guided map of miRNA and mRNA associated to naïve and primed pluripotent identity is provided.

Mutations and variants of ONECUT1 in diabetes

Project description:Genes involved in distinct diabetes types suggest shared disease mechanisms. We show that rare ONECUT1 coding variants cause monogenic recessive diabetes (neonatal or very early-onset, syndromic) in two unrelated patients, and monogenic dominant diabetes (early adult-onset) in heterozygous relatives of these and 13 additional unrelated cases. Patients heterozygous for rare ONECUT1 coding variants define a subgroup of T2D with early-onset diabetes and other features. In addition, common regulatory ONECUT1 variants are associated with multifactorial T2D. Directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells to the pancreatic lineage revealed that loss of ONECUT1 impairs pancreatic progenitor formation and a subsequent endocrine program. We uncovered that ONECUT1 activates the pro-endocrine genes NKX6.1 and NKX2.2 through binding to their cis-regulatory elements. Globally, ONECUT1-directed gene transcription occurs in association with major islet transcription factors, at clusters of pancreas- and endocrine-specific enhancers within open chromatin. ONECUT1 regulates a transcriptional and epigenetic machinery critical for proper endocrine pancreatic development, involved in a spectrum of diabetes, monogenic recessive and dominant, and multifactorial.

Human iPSC-derived neural stem cells display a radial glia-like signature in vitro and favorable long-term safety in transplanted mice

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem/progenitor cells (hiPSC-NSCs) are a promising source of cell therapy approaches to treat neurodegenerative and demyelinating disorders. Despite ongoing efforts to characterize hiPSC-derived cells in vitro and in vivo, we lack comprehensive genome- and transcriptome-wide studies addressing hiPSC-NSC identity and safety, which are critical for establishing accepted criteria for prospective clinical applications. Here, we evaluated the transcriptional and epigenetic signatures of hiPSCs and differentiated hiPSC-NSC progeny, finding that the hiPSC-to-NSC transition results in a complete loss of pluripotency and the acquisition of a radial glia-associated transcriptional and gene regulatory signatures. Importantly, hiPSC-NSCs share with somatic human fetal NSCs (hfNSCs) the main transcriptional and epigenetic patterns associated with NSC-specific biology. In vivo, long-term observation (up to 10 months) of mice intracerebrally transplanted as neonates with hiPSC-NSCs showed robust engraftment and widespread distribution of hiPSC-NSCs in the host brain parenchyma. Engrafted hiPSC-NSCs displayed multilineage potential and preferentially generated glial cells. No hyperproliferation, tumor formation, or expression of pluripotency markers was observed. Finally, we identified a novel candidate transcription factor involved in the astroglial commitment of hiPSC-NSCs. Overall, these comprehensive in vitro and in vivo analyses clarify the cell identity and safety profile of hiPSC-NSCs, supporting their continuing development as an alternative to somatic hfNSCs in treating neurodegenerative and demyelinating disorders.

hESC-derived liver transcriptome analysis

Project description:To characterize the transcriptional programs that underlie pancreas differentiation and identity, we have generated genome-scale expression profiles by RNA-seq from human embryonic stem cell derived liver progenitors and human fetal pancreatic tissue (days 54-57 post conception). These samples were compared to those already published transcriptomes (Xie et al., 2013). Together, these samples were used to perform principles compotent analysis. Once this was performed, we were able to identify transcription factors that were important in the identity of each cell type.
