Project description:Inflammation, acinar cell destruction, and ductal cell hyperplasia drive pancreatic remodeling in newborns with cystic fibrosis (CF) lacking a functional CFTR channel. In neonatal CF ferrets, these changes are associated with a transient phase of glucose intolerance that involves islet destruction and subsequent regeneration near hyperplastic ducts. Little is known about the phenotypic changes in CF ductal epithelium and its potential impact on islet function. Using bulk RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, and ATAC-seq on CF ferret models, we demonstrate that ductal CFTR protein constrains PDX1 expression by maintaining PTEN and GSK3b activation. In the absence of CFTR protein, centroacinar cells (or terminal ductal cells) adopted a bi-potent progenitor-like state associated with enhanced WNT/b-Catenin, TGFb and AKT signaling. Notably, using in vitro and in vivo hypomorphic models of mutant CFTR expression, we show that the level of CFTR protein, not its channel function, regulates PDX1 expression. Thus, this study has discovered a cell-autonomous CFTR-dependent mechanism by which CFTR mutations that produced little to no protein could impact pancreatic exocrine/endocrine remodeling in people with CF.

Project description:BackgroundLoss of CFTR-dependent anion and fluid secretion in the ducts of the exocrine pancreas is thought to contribute to the development of pancreatitis, but little is known about the impact of inflammation on ductal CFTR function. Here we used adult stem cell-derived cell cultures (organoids) obtained from porcine pancreas to evaluate the effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on CFTR function.MethodsOrganoids were cultured from porcine pancreas and used to prepare ductal epithelial monolayers. Monolayers were characterized by immunocytochemistry. Epithelial bicarbonate and chloride secretion, and the effect of IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ, and TNF-α on CFTR function was assessed by electrophysiology.ResultsImmunolocalization of ductal markers, including CFTR, keratin 7, and zonula occludens 1, demonstrated that organoid-derived cells formed a highly polarized epithelium. Stimulation by secretin or VIP triggered CFTR-dependent anion secretion across epithelial monolayers, whereas purinergic receptor stimulation by UTP, elicited CFTR-independent anion secretion. Most of the anion secretory response was attributable to bicarbonate transport. The combination of IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ, and TNF-α markedly enhanced CFTR expression and anion secretion across ductal epithelial monolayers, whereas these cytokines had little effect when tested separately. Although TNF-α triggered apoptotic signaling, epithelial barrier function was not significantly affected by cytokine exposure.ConclusionsPro-inflammatory cytokines enhance CFTR-dependent anion secretion across pancreatic ductal epithelium. We propose that up-regulation of CFTR in the early stages of the inflammatory response, may serve to promote the removal of pathogenic stimuli from the ductal tree, and limit tissue injury.

Project description:The effects of trypsin on pancreatic ductal epithelial cells (PDECs) vary among species and depend on the localization of proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR-2). We compared PAR-2 localization in human and guinea-pig PDECs, and used isolated guinea pig ducts to study the effects of trypsin and a PAR-2 agonist on bicarbonate secretion.PAR-2 localization was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in guinea pig and human pancreatic tissue samples (from 15 patients with chronic pancreatitis and 15 without pancreatic disease). Functionally, guinea pig PDECs were studied by microperfusion of isolated ducts, measurements of intracellular pH and intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, and patch clamp analysis. The effect of pH on trypsinogen autoactivation was assessed using recombinant human cationic trypsinogen.PAR-2 localized to the apical membrane of human and guinea pig PDECs. Trypsin increased intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and intracellular pH and inhibited secretion of bicarbonate by the luminal anion exchanger and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel. Autoactivation of human cationic trypsinogen accelerated when the pH was reduced from 8.5 to 6.0. PAR-2 expression was strongly down-regulated, at transcriptional and protein levels, in the ducts of patients with chronic pancreatitis, consistent with increased activity of intraductal trypsin. Importantly, in PAR-2 knockout mice, the effects of trypsin were markedly reduced.Trypsin reduces pancreatic ductal bicarbonate secretion via PAR-2-dependent inhibition of the apical anion exchanger and the CFTR Cl(-) channel. This could contribute to the development of chronic pancreatitis by decreasing luminal pH and promoting premature activation of trypsinogen in the pancreatic ducts.

Project description:Loss of CFTR function in the pancreatic duct leads to dysregulated luminal pH causing premature activation of digestive enzymes and tissue necrosis. Drastic alterations in pancreatic tissue architecture and cellular composition changes the microenvironment of the islets. Given that CFTR is expressed in the pancreatic ducts, we hypothesized that loss of functional CFTR impacts islet function by modifying the ductal secretome. To this end, we developed a long-term in vitro pancreatic duct epithelial cell culture system and polarized both WT and CFTR-KO (CF) ferret duct epithelial cells. We profiled the apical and basolateral secretome, and the cellular proteome of both WT and CF duct epithelium using quantitative mass spectrometry. Bioinformatic analysis of differentially secreted proteins mapped to their cognate receptors provided a list of putative paracrine interactions that affect islet function. Signaling pathways and upstream regulators that alter the secretome and cellular proteome profile were computationally mined to characterize disease causing mechanisms. In this study, we provide a proteomic roadmap of perturbed autocrine and paracrine signals from the CF pancreatic duct.

Project description:Cystic fibrosis (CF)-related diabetes (CFRD) is an increasingly common and devastating comorbidity of CF, affecting ~35% of adults with CF. However, the underlying causes of CFRD are unclear. Here, we examined cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) islet expression and whether the CFTR participates in islet endocrine cell function using murine models of b cell CFTR deletion, and normal and CF human pancreas and islets. Specific deletion of CFTR from murine b cells did not affect b cell function. In human islets, CFTR mRNA was minimally expressed, and CFTR protein/electrical activity was not detected. Isolated CF/CFRD islets demonstrated appropriate insulin and glucagon secretion with few changes in key islet-regulatory transcripts. Furthermore, ~65% of b cell area was lost in CF donors, compounded by pancreatic remodeling and immune infiltration of the islet. These results indicate that CFRD is not caused by intrinsic islet dysfunction from CFTR mutation, but rather, by b cell loss and intra-islet inflammation in the setting of a complex pleiotropic disease

Project description:Production of functional proteins requires multiple steps including gene transcription and post-translational processing. MicroRNAs (miRNA) can regulate individual stages of these processes. Despite the importance of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel for epithelial anion transport, how its expression is regulated remains uncertain. We discovered that microRNA-138 regulates CFTR expression through its interactions with the transcriptional regulatory protein SIN3A. Treating airway epithelia with a miR-138 mimic increased CFTR mRNA and also enhanced CFTR abundance and transepithelial Cl- permeability independently of elevated mRNA levels. A miR-138 anti-miR had the opposite effects. Importantly, miR-138 altered the expression of many genes encoding proteins that associate with CFTR and may influence its biosynthesis. The most common CFTR mutation, M-NM-^TF508, causes protein misfolding, degradation, and cystic fibrosis. Remarkably, manipulating the miR-138 regulatory network also improved biosynthesis of CFTR-M-NM-^TF508 and restored Cl- transport to cystic fibrosis airway epithelia. This novel miRNA-regulated network directs gene expression from the chromosome to the cell membrane, indicating that an individual miRNA can control a cellular process broader than previously recognized. This discovery also provides new therapeutic avenues for restoring CFTR function to cells affected by the most common cystic fibrosis mutation. 12 samples of Calu-3 cells representing different interventions.
