Genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of ALDH1A3 as a treatment of β-cell failure

ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with defective insulin secretion, reduced β-cell mass, and β-cell dedifferentiation. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 isoform A3 (ALHD1A3) serves as a marker of β-cell dedifferentiation and correlates with T2D progression. ALDH1A3-positive β-cells (A+) demonstrate impaired insulin secretion, and their numbers decrease when diabetic mice are rendered euglycemic by pair-feeding. It is unknown whether ALDH1A3 activity contributes to β-cell failure, and whether the decrease of A+ cells under pair-feeding is due to β-cell restoration. To tackle these questions, we (i) investigated the fate of A+ cells during pair-feeding by lineage-tracing, (ii) somatically ablated ALDH1A3 in diabetic β-cells, and (iii) used a novel selective ALDH1A3 inhibitor to treat diabetes. Lineage tracing and functional characterization show that A+ cells can be reconverted to functional, mature β-cells. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of ALDH1A3 in diabetic mice lowers glycemia and increases insulin secretion. Molecular interrogation of β-cells following ALDH1A3 inhibition show a reactivation of differentiation as well as regeneration pathways through the REG gene family. We conclude that ALDH1A3 inhibition offers a therapeutic strategy for β-cell dysfunction in diabetes.

Klf6 protects β-cells against insulin resistance-induced dedifferentiation

Project description:In the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes development of insulin resistance triggers an increase in pancreatic β-cell insulin secretion capacity and β-cell number. Failure of this compensatory mechanism is caused by a dedifferentiation of β-cells, which leads to insufficient insulin secretion and diabetic hyperglycemia. The β-cell factors that normally protect against dedifferentiation remain poorly defined. Here, through a systems biology approach, we identify the transcription factor Klf6 as a regulator of β-cell adaptation to metabolic stress. We show that inactivation of Klf6 in mouse β-cells blunts their proliferation induced by the insulin resistance of pregnancy, high-fat high-sucrose feeding, and insulin receptor antagonism. Transcriptomic analysis showed that Klf6 controls the expression of β-cell proliferation genes and, in the presence of insulin resistance, it prevents the down-expression of genes controlling mature β-cell identity and the induction of disallowed genes that impair insulin secretion; its expression also limits the transdifferentiation of β-cells into alpha cells. Our study identifies a new transcription factor that protects β-cells against dedifferentiation and which may be targeted to prevent diabetes development.

Pan-AMPK activator O304 prevents gene expression changes and re-mobilization of histone marks in islets of diet-induced obese mice (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) have an important role in cellular energy homeostasis and has emerged as a promising target for treatment of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) due to its beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis. O304 is a pan-AMPK activator that has been shown to improve glucose homeostasis in both mouse models of diabetes and in human T2D subjects. Here, we describe the genome-wide transcriptional profile and chromatin landscape of pancreatic islets following O304 treatment of mice fed high-fat diet (HFD). O304 largely prevented genome-wide gene expression changes associated with HFD feeding in CBA mice and these changes were associated with remodelling of active and repressive chromatin marks. In particular, the increased expression of the β-cell stress marker Aldh1a3 in islets from HFD mice is completely abrogated following O304 treatment, which is accompanied by loss of active chromatin marks in the promoter as well as distant non-coding regions upstream of the Aldh1a3 gene. Moreover, O304 treatment restored dysfunctional glucose homeostasis as well as expression of key markers associated with β-cell function in mice with already established obesity. Our findings provide preclinical evidence that O304 is a promising therapeutic compound not only for T2D remission but also for restoration of β-cell function following remission of T2D diabetes.

BACH2 inhibition reverses β-cell failure in type 2 diabetes models

Project description:Type 2 diabetes is associated with defective insulin secretion and reduced β-cell mass. Available treatments provide a temporary reprieve, but secondary failure rates are high, making insulin supplementation necessary. Reversibility of b-cell failure is a key translational question. Here, we reverse-engineered and interrogated pancreatic islet-specific regulatory networks to discover T2D-specific subpopulations characterized by metabolic-inflexibility and endocrine-progenitor/stem cell features. Single-cell gain- and loss-of-function and glucose-induced Ca++ flux analyses of top candidate MR in islet cells validated transcription factor BACH2 and associated epigenetic effectors as a key driver of T2D cell states. BACH2 knockout in T2D islets reversed cellular features of the disease, restoring a non-diabetic phenotype. BACH2-immunoreactive islet cells increased ~4-fold in diabetic patients, confirming the algorithmic prediction of clinically relevant subpopulations. Treatment with a BACH inhibitor lowered glycemia and increased plasma insulin levels in diabetic mice, and restored insulin secretion in diabetic mice and human islets. The findings suggest that T2D-specific populations of failing b-cells can be reversed and indicate pathways for pharmacological intervention, including via BACH2 inhibition.

Checkpoint Kinase 2 Controls Insulin Secretion and Glucose Homeostasis

Project description:After the discovery of insulin a century ago, extensive work has been done to unravel the molecular network regulating insulin secretion. Here, we performed a chemical screen and identified AZD7762, a compound that potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) of human β cell line, healthy and type 2 diabetic (T2D) human islets, and primary cynomolgus macaque islets. In vivo studies in diabetic mouse models and cynomolgus macaques demonstrated that AZD7762 enhances GSIS and improves glucose tolerance. Furthermore, genetic manipulation confirmed that ablation of CHEK2 in human β cells results in increased insulin secretion. Consistently, high-fat-diet fed Chk2-/- mice show elevated insulin secretion and improved glucose clearance. Finally, an untargeted metabolic profiling demonstrated the key role of the CHEK2-PP2A-PLK1-G6PD-PPP pathway in insulin secretion. This study successfully identifies a previously unknown insulin secretion regulating pathway that is conserved across rodents, cynomolgus macaques and human β cells in both healthy and T2D conditions.

Pancreatic β-cell interleukin-22 receptor subunit alpha 1 deficiency impairs β-cell function in type 2 diabetes via cytochrome b5 reductase 3 [shRNA]

Project description:Impaired β-cell function is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes (T2D), whereas, the underlying cellular signaling machineries that regulate β-cell function remain unknown. Here, we identify that the interleukin-22 receptor subunit alpha 1 (IL22RA1), known as a co-receptor for IL-22, is downregulated in human and mouse T2D β-cells. Mice with β-cell Il22ra1 knockout (Il22ra1βKO) exhibit defective insulin secretion and impaired glucose tolerance after a high-fat diet (HFD) or HFD/low-dose streptozotocin (STZ). Mechanistically, β-cell IL22RA1 deficiency inhibits cytochrome b5 reductase 3 (CYB5R3) expression via the IL22RA1/STAT3/c-JUN axis, thereby impairing mitochondrial function and reducing β-cell identity. Overexpression of CYB5R3 reinstates mitochondrial function, β-cell identity and insulin secretion in Il22ra1βKO mice. Moreover, pharmacological activation of CYB5R3 with tetrahydroindenoindole restores insulin secretion in Il22ra1βKO mice, IL22RA1 knockdown human islets and Min6 cells. In conclusion, these findings suggest an important role of IL22RA1 in preserving β-cell function in T2D, which offers a potential therapeutic target for treating diabetes.

Acceleration of beta cell aging plays a key role in diabetes and senolysis improves metabolic, functional and cellular outcomes

Project description:The risk of type 2 diabetes increases with age. Although changes in function and proliferation of aged beta cells resemble those preceding the development of diabetes, the contribution of beta cell aging and senescence remains unclear. The proportion of aged beta cells increases with animal age but even in young mice, senescent beta cells can be found. We showed that different models of insulin resistance accelerated aging and senescence marker expression in beta cells, BGal, led to loss of function and impaired glucose tolerance. Clearance of p16Ink4a+ cells, using the INK-ATTAC mouse model, ameliorated glucose metabolism, insulin secretion and decreased expression of aging, senescence and SASP genes in pancreatic islets. Senolytic drug ABT263 also improved glucose metabolism and beta cell identity when administered during insulin resistance. Human beta cells from diabetic and non-diabetic donors shared some of the same biology laying the foundation for translation into humans. These novel findings lay the framework to pursue senolysis of beta cells as a preventive and alleviating strategy for T2D.
