Project description:Background: Tetraspanin-7 (Tspan7) is an islet autoantigen involved in autoimmune type 1 diabetes and known to regulate beta-cell L-type Ca2+ channel activity. However, the role of Tspan7 in pancreatic beta-cell function is not yet fully understood. Methods: Histological analyses were conducted using immunostaining. Whole-body metabolism was tested using glucose tolerance test. Islet hormone secretion was quantified using static batch incubation or dynamic perifusion. Beta-cell transmembrane currents, electrical activity and exocytosis were measured using whole-cell patch-clamping and capacitance measurements. Gene expression was studied using mRNA-sequencing and quantitative PCR. Results: Tspan7 is expressed in insulin-containing granules of pancreatic beta-cells. Tspan7-knockout mice (Tspan7 y/- mouse) exhibit reduced body weight and ad libitum plasma glucose but normal glucose tolerance. Tspan7y/- islets have normal insulin content and glucose- or tolbutamide-stimulated insulin secretion. Depolarisation-triggered Ca2+ current was enhanced in Tspan7y/- beta-cells, but beta-cell electrical activity and depolarisation-evoked exocytosis were unchanged suggesting that exocytosis was less sensitive to Ca2+. TSPAN7 knockdown (KD) in human pseudo-islets led to a significant reduction in high K+-stimulated insulin secretion. Transcriptomic analyses show that TSPAN7 KD in human pseudo-islets correlated with changes in genes involved in hormone secretion, apoptosis and ER stress. Consistent with rodent beta-cells, exocytotic Ca2+ sensitivity was reduced in a human beta cell line (EndoC-H1) following Tspan7 KD. Conclusion: Tspan7 is involved in the regulation of Ca2+-dependent exocytosis in beta-cells. Its function is more significant in human beta-cells than their rodent counterparts

Conclusion: Tspan7 is involved in the regulation of Ca2+-dependent exocytosis in beta-cells. Its function is more significant in human beta-cells than their rodent counterparts

Project description:In stem cell-derived β (SC-β) cells, metabolic abnormalities persist as obstacles to glucose responsiveness and functional maturation, with the primary metabolic bottlenecks yet to be identified. This study demonstrated that restoring pyruvate kinase 1 (PKM1) re-established pyruvate kinase activity, effectively reversing the SC-β-cell identity loss and functional impairment associated with phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) accumulation. 13C-glucose labeling metabolomics revealed a disruption in glucose-stimulated metabolite production beginning at the glycolytic PEP stage in stem cell-derived islets (SC-islets). Uniquely, elevated PEP prevented glycolytic metabolite-dependent increase of exocytosis and significantly increased intracellular calcium levels through a KATP channel-independent pathway, even under basal glucose condition. Furthermore, exposure to PEP led to downregulated expression of genes involved in the TCA cycle and respiratory electron transport. This PEP accumulation in SC-islets was associated with markedly reduced pyruvate kinase activity. Overexpression of PKM1 rescued the transcriptional changes induced by PEP accumulation and improved both glucose-stimulated calcium responses and insulin secretion. These findings suggest that PKM1 plays a pivotal role in promoting SC-β cell differentiation and functional maturation by regulating PEP metabolism, offering potential improvements for SC-β cell replacement in diabetes treatment.

Project description:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor beta/delta protects against obesity by reducing dyslipidemia and insulin resistance via effects in various organs, including muscle, adipose tissue, liver, and heart. However, nothing is known about the function of PPAR-beta in pancreas, a prime organ in the control of glucose metabolism. To gain insight into so far hypothetical functions of this PPAR isotype in insulin production, we specifically ablated Ppar-beta in pancreas. The mutated mice developed a chronic hyperinsulinemia, due to an increase in both beta-cell mass and insulin secretion. Gene expression profiling indicated a broad repressive function of PPAR-beta impacting the vesicular compartment, actin cytoskeleton, and metabolism of glucose and fatty acids. Analyses of insulin release from the islets revealed an increased second-phase glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Higher levels of PKD, PKC-delta and diacyglycerol in mutated animals lead to an enhanced formation of trans-Golgi network (TGN)-to-plasma-membrane transport carriers in concert with F-actin disassembly, which resulted in increased insulin secretion and its associated systemic effects. Taken together, these results provide evidence for PPAR-beta playing a repressive role on beta-cell growth and insulin exocytosis, which shed new light on its anti-obesity action. Pancreas-specific knock-out animals were generated by breeding mice harbouring a floxed Ppar-beta (PPARbetafl/fl) to mice expressing the Cre transgene under the control of the Pdx1 promoter (Pdx1Cre). Islets from 3 different animals from the knock-out group Pdx1Cre;PPARbetafl/fl and the control littermates group PPARbetafl/fl were compared.

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.

Project description:Pancreatic β cell dysfunction greatly contributes to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. MiR-21 has been shown to be induced in the islets of glucose intolerant patients and type 2 diabetic mice. However, the role of miR-21 in the regulation of pancreatic β cell function remains largely elusive. In the current study, we studied the pathway by which miR-21 regulates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion utilizing mice lacking miR-21 in their β cells (miR-21βKO). We found that miR-21βKO mice developed glucose intolerance due to impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Mechanistic studies revealed that miR-21 enhances glucose uptake and subsequently promotes insulin secretion by up-regulating Glut2 expression in a miR-21-Pdcd4-AP-1 dependent pathway. Over-expression of Glut2 in knockout islets resulted in rescue of the impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Furthermore, we demonstrated that delivery of miR-21 into the pancreas of type 2 diabetic db/db mice is able to promote Glut2 expression and significantly reduce blood glucose level. Taking together, our results reveal that miR-21 in islet β cell promotes insulin secretion and support a role for miR-21 in the adaptation of pancreatic β cell function in type 2 diabetes.

Project description:Introduction: Leptin inhibits insulin secretion from isolated islets from multiple species, but the cell type that mediates this process remains elusive. Several mouse models have been used to explore this question. Ablation of the leptin receptor (Lepr) throughout the pancreatic epithelium results in altered glucose homeostasis and ex vivo insulin secretion and Ca2+ dynamics. However, Lepr removal from neither alpha nor beta cells mimics this result. Moreover, scRNAseq data has revealed an enrichment of LEPR in human islet delta cells. Methods: We confirmed LEPR upregulation in human delta cells by performing RNAseq on fixed, sorted beta and delta cells. We then used a mouse model to test whether delta cells mediate the diminished glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in response to leptin. Results: Ablation of Lepr within mouse delta cells did not change glucose homeostasis or insulin secretion, whether mice were fed a chow or high-fat diet. We further show, using a publicly available scRNAseq dataset, that islet cells expressing Lepr lie within endothelial cell clusters. Conclusions: In mice, leptin does not influence beta-cell function through delta cells.

Project description:We assessed the impact of glucose transporter Glut2 gene inactivation in adult mouse liver (LG2KO mice). This suppressed hepatic glucose uptake but not glucose output. In the fasted state, expression of carbohydrate responsive element-binding protein (ChREBP) and its glycolytic and lipogenic target genes was abnormally elevated. Feeding, energy expenditure, and insulin sensitivity were identical in LG2KO and control mice. Glucose tolerance was normal early after Glut2 inactivation but intolerance developed at later time. This was caused by progressive impairment of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion even though beta-cell mass and insulin content remained normal. Liver transcript profiling revealed a coordinate down-regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis genes in LG2KO mice. This was associated with reduced hepatic cholesterol in fasted mice and a 30 percent reduction in bile acid production. We showed that chronic bile acids or FXR agonist treatment of primary islets increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, an effect not seen in islets from fxr-/- mice. Collectively, our data show that glucose sensing by the liver controls beta-cell glucose competence, through a mechanism that likely depends on bile acid production and action on beta-cells. three replicates each of ps_ctrl_refed, ps_tamox_refed, ps_ctrl_fasted, ps_tamox_fasted

Project description:Mutations in HNF1A cause Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young type 3, the second most frequent form of diabetes caused by single gene mutation. We generated human pancreatic stem cell-derived endocrine cells with mutations in HNF1A and show that HNF1A deficiency impairs scβ-cell fate, insulin granule maturation and the secretion of insulin in a glucose responsive manner. Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals that HNF1A orchestrates a network of genes involved in glucose metabolism, zinc transport, calcium ion binding and hormone exocytosis. Furthermore, in both patients and stem cell-derived β-cells, HNF1A deficiency altered the stoichiometry of secreted c-peptide to insulin. Sulfonylurea, used in the treatment of these patients, restored both insulin secretion and stoichiometry. Significantly, uncoupling of c-peptide and insulin secretion as described here questions the common practice in using c-peptide as a proxy to evaluate β-cell function. We also demonstrate that correction of the HNF1A locus restores function, providing a path to cell therapy.
