Single-cell transcriptomics of primary human pancreatic islet cells exposed to stress conditions associated with beta-cell failure.

ABSTRACT: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease associated with elevated blood glucose level and resulting from a loss of functional beta-cell mass. The goal of this study is to investigate the response of human pancreatic cells to pathophysiological conditions associated with beta-cell dysfunction, ultimately to identify molecular mechanisms contributing to the development of diabetes. Isolated primary human islets from three non-diabetic donors were exposed in vitro to pro-inflammatory, oxidative, metabolic and endoplasmic reticulum stress for up to 3 days. Subsequently the cells were processed for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Analysis of the dataset revealed both common and specific molecular response of each pancreatic cell type to the various stress conditions.
