B7-H4 regulates β cell mass and insulin secretion by modulating cholesterol metabolism

ABSTRACT: Chronic islet inflammation is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and involves in the dysfunction of β cells. However, how β cells participate in this process remains unclear. Here, we report that the immune checkpoint molecule B7-H4(B7S1, B7x, VTCN1) expressed in β cells is critical to maintain β cell mass and insulin secretion. Lesion of B7-H4 in β cells results in glucose intolerance due to less β cell mass and deficient insulin secretion with upregulated cytokines and activated signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (Stat5) signaling, while overexpression of B7-H4 in β cells ameliorates glucose intolerance in high-fat diet (HFD)-treated mice. Mechanistically, B7-H4 deficiency actives the Stat5 signaling, which inhibits the expression of Apolipoprotein F (ApoF), leading to reduced cholesterol efflux and accumulated cholesterol in β cells, thereby impairing the insulin processing and secretion. Inhibiting Stat5 activity or overexpression of ApoF in β cells can rescue the glucose intolerance and insulin secretion deficiency in β-cell-specific B7-H4 knockout (B7-H4 cKO) mice. Our study demonstrates that β cell expressed immune checkpoint molecule B7-H4 is essential for islet immune homeostasis and β cell function maintenance, and for the first time unravels the mechanism by which B7-H4 regulates insulin secretion through regulating cholesterol metabolism via Stat5 signaling, which may shed new light on the development of novel strategies for T2D treatment.

Hepatic glucose sensing is required to preserve beta-cell glucose competence

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

Multi-omics profiling of human pancreatic islet dysregulation from normoglycemia to type 2 diabetes

Project description:Type-2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus results from a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors leading to deficient insulin secretion from pancreatic islet beta cells. Here, we provide a the first comprehensive study of the human islet state of metabolically profiled pancreatectomized living human donors in relationship to glycemic control integrating clinical traits with multiple in situ islet and pre-operative blood omics datasets across the glycemia continuum from non diabetic healthy to overt T2D levels. Our transcriptomics and proteomics data suggest that progressive dysregulation of islet gene expression associated with increasing glucose intolerance is a disharmonic process resembling a non-linear trajectory of mature beta cell states towards trans-differentiation. Furthermore, we identify a unique islet gene set altered already in early-onset glucose intolerance and that, which correlates well across HbA1c levels - the gold-standard in clinical monitoring. Our findings reach beyond conventional clinical thresholds and can serve as direct or indirect prognostic markers for beta cell failure.

BCAS2 is involved in insulin synthesis and secretion by mRNA alternative splicing

Project description:Insulin secreted by pancreatic β cells is essential for maintaining the level of blood glucose. Diabetes is mainly caused by the loss of β cells or impaired β cell function. The previous study performed a whole transcriptome analysis on the islets of T2D and the control group, and the results showed that the splicing disorder of the splicing event was about 25%, breast carcinoma amplified sequence 2(BCAS2) is one of the components of the spliceosome, and its function in islet β cell is unclear. Here we report that knockdown of Bcas2 decreases in glucose and KCl-stimulated insulin secretion in the NIT-1 cell line. The pancreas weight, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were detected in normal chow-fed and high-fat diet-fed Bcas2 f/f-βKO mice, and β cell mass and islet size was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Glucose intolerance developed in Bcas2 f/f-βKO mice, but there were no significant differences in pancreas weight, insulin sensitivity, β cell mass and islet size. Further, GSIS and observation of insulin secretion granules were performed on normal chow-fed mice, and it was found that the insulin level in serum decreased and the number of insulin secretion granules decreased in Bcas2 f/f-βKO mice, which was related to the abnormal splicing of Syt7 and Tcf7l2 pre-mRNA. Taken together, these results demonstrate that BCAS2 is involved in alternative splicing during insulin synthesis and secretion. Elisa,islet isolation,insulin secretion

Notch-mediated Ephrin signaling disrupts islet architecture and β cell function

Project description:Altered islet architecture is associated with β cell dysfunction and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) progression, but molecular effectors of islet spatial organization remain mostly unknown. Although Notch signaling is known to regulate pancreatic development, we observed “re-activated” β cell Notch activity in obese mouse models. To test the repercussions and reversibility of Notch effects, we generated doxycycline-dependent, β cell-specific Notch gain-of-function mice. As predicted, we found that Notch activation in post-natal β cells impaired glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and glucose intolerance, but we observed a surprising remnant glucose intolerance after doxycycline withdrawal and cessation of Notch activity, associated with a marked disruption of normal islet architecture. Transcriptomic screening of Notch-active islets revealed increased Ephrin signaling. Commensurately, exposure to Ephrin ligands increased β cell repulsion, and impaired murine and human pseudo-islet formation. Consistent with our mouse data, Notch and Ephrin signaling are increased in metabolically-inflexible β cells in patients with T2D. These studies suggest than islet architecture can be permanently altered by β cell Notch/Ephrin signaling during a morphogenetic window in early life.

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.

Sox9 regulates alternative splicing and pancreatic beta cell function [mouse]

Project description:Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D), a multifactorial disease, can result from perturbations in numerous pancreatic genes. We describe a previously unanticipated role for Sox9, a transcriptional regulator of embryonic pancreas and endocrine cell development, in mature beta cells. Our data demonstrate that Sox9 has continued function in beta cells as they mature, and elimination of Sox9 compromises beta cell activities. Sox9-depleted rodent beta cells fail to appropriately secrete insulin and exhibit glucose intolerance in aging animals, mimicking the progressive degeneration observed in T2D. Human beta cells lacking SOX9 are functionally impaired with stunted first phase insulin secretion. In both rodent and human, Sox9 loss in beta cells disrupts alternative splicing patterns, with significant implications for maintenance of cellular function. Thus, our data uncover a novel, unprecedented role for a developmental transcription factor in mature beta cell function.

Molecular phenotyping of multiple mouse strains under metabolic challenge uncovers Elovl2 as a novel regulator of glucose-induced insulin secretion

Project description:Defective insulin secretion by pancreatic β cells underlies the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). High fat diet-fed mice are commonly used to study diabetes progression, but studies are usually limited to a single strain, such as C57Bl/6J. Here, we use a systems biology approach to integrate large phenotypic and islet transcriptomic data sets from six commonly used strains fed a high fat or regular chow diet to identify genes associated with glucose intolerance and insulin secretion. One of these genes is Elovl2, encoding very long chain fatty acid elongase 2. ELOVL2 is responsible for the synthesis of the polyunsaturated fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). We show that DHA rescues glucose-induced insulin secretion and cytosolic Ca2+ influx impaired by glucolipotoxicity, and that Elovl2 over-expression is able to restore the insulin secretion defect under these conditions. We propose that increased endogenous DHA levels resulting from Elovl2 up-regulation counteracts the insulin secretion defect associated with glucolipotoxicity. Although we focus our experimental validation on Elovl2, the comprehensive data set and integrative network model we used to identify this candidate gene represents an important novel resource to dissect the molecular aetiology of β cell failure in murine models.
