Characterisation of the functional and transcriptomic effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on human EndoC-βH5 beta cells

ABSTRACT: EndoC-βH5 is a newly established human beta-cell model which may be superior to previous models of native human beta cells. Exposure of beta cells to proinflammatory cytokines is a widely used in vitro model of immune-mediated beta-cell failure in type 1 diabetes and we therefore performed an in-depth characterisation of the effects of cytokines on EndoC-βH5 cells. Global gene expression was characterised by stranded RNA sequencing.

Project description:Immune-mediated beta cell destruction and lack of alpha cell responsiveness to hypoglycaemia are hallmarks of type 1 diabetes pathology. The incretin hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) may hold therapeutic potential for type 1 diabetes due to its insulinotropic and glucagonotropic effects as well as its beta cell protective effects shown in rodent islets. Here, we examined the functional and transcriptomic effects of GIP treatment upon diabetogenic cytokine exposure to interleukin (IL)-1β ± interferon (IFN)-γ in human EndoC-βH5 beta cells and isolated human islets, respectively. GIP dose-dependently augmented glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from EndoC-βH5 cells and increased insulin and glucagon secretion from human islets during high and low glucose concentrations, respectively. The insulinotropic effect of GIP in EndoC-βH5 cells was abrogated by KN-93, an inhibitor of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 2 (CaMK2). GIP did not prevent cytokine-induced apoptosis or cytokine-induced functional impairment of human EndoC-βH5 cells. GIP also did not prevent cytokine-induced apoptosis in human islets. GIP treatment of human islets with or without cytokines for 24 hours did not significantly impact the transcriptome. GIP potentiated cytokine-induced secretion of IL-10 and c-c motif chemokine ligand (CCL)-2 from human islets while decreasing the secretion of c-x-c motif chemokine ligand (CXCL)-8. In EndoC-βH5 cells, GIP reduced IFN-γ-induced secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-2, IL-6, and IL-10, but increased the secretion of CXCL8, CCL2, CCL4, and CCL11. In conclusion, our results suggest that the insulinotropic effect of GIP is CaMK2-dependent. Furthermore, our results indicate that GIP does not provide substantial cytoprotective effects against diabetogenic cytokine challenge or significantly modulate the transcriptome of human islets when applied at a supraphysiological level. GIP may, however, still exert selective inflammation-modulatory effects upon diabetogenic cytokine exposure.
