Directed differentiation of pancreatic δ cells from human pluripotent stem cells

ABSTRACT: Human pancreatic δ cells maintain the balance of pancreatic hormones and loss of δ cells or disruption of somatostatin release is associated with diabetes. Despite their important role, human δ cells are scarce (~5% within the islets), limiting physiological studies and drug discovery targeting δ cells. To date, no directed δ-cell differentiation method has been established. In this study, we established a link between fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling pathways and pancreatic δ-cell lineage specification. FGF7 helped maintain a pancreatic endoderm/progenitor state with higher expression levels of PDX1 and CHGA, whereas FGF2 biased cells towards the pancreatic δ-cell lineage by inducing the expression of SST and the δ-cell specific transcription factor HHEX, via FGF receptor 1(FGFR1). We developed a differentiation method to generate δ cells from human stem cells by combining FGF2 with FGF7, which synergistically directs pancreatic lineage differentiation and modulates the expression of transcription factors and SST activators during endoderm/endocrine precursor induction. These δ cells display mature RNA profiles and fine secretory granules, secrete somatostatin in response to various stimuli, and suppress insulin secretion from in vitro co-cultured b cells and mouse b cells upon transplantation. The generation of somatostatin-secreting pancreatic δ cells from human stem cells in vitro would provide an unprecedented cell source for drug discovery and cell transplantation studies in diabetes.

FGF inhibition directs BMP4-mediated differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells to syncytiotrophoblast

Project description:Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is known to support differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into mesoderm and extraembryonic lineages, whereas other signaling pathways can largely influence this lineage specification. Here, we set out to reinvestigate the influence of ACTIVIN/NODAL and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathways on the lineage choices made by hESCs during BMP4-driven differentiation. We show that BMP activation, coupled with inhibition of both ACTIVIN/NODAL and FGF signaling, induces differentiation of hESCs, specifically to M-NM-2hCG hormone-secreting multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast and does not support induction of embryonic and extraembryonic lineages, extravillous trophoblast, and primitive endoderm. It has been previously reported that FGF2 can switch BMP4-induced hESC differentiation outcome to mesendoderm. Here, we show that FGF inhibition alone, or in combination with either ACTIVIN/NODAL inhibition or BMP activation, supports hESC differentiation to hCG-secreting syncytiotrophoblast. We show that the inhibition of the FGF pathway acts as a key in directing BMP4-mediated hESC differentiation to syncytiotrophoblast. Human embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs) were treated under defined conditions (N2B27) with BMP4 (B), SB431542 (SB) (ACTIVIN/NODAL inhibitor), SU5402 (SU) (FGFR1 inhibitor), FGF2 (F) either alone or in various combinations as mentioned, followed by isolation of total RNA.

Transcriptional program for induced delta cell on day10

Project description:Direct lineage conversion of adult cells is a promising approach for regenerative medicine. A major challenge of lineage conversion is to generate specific subtypes of cells, closely related cells with distinct properties. The pancreatic islets contain three major hormone-secreting endocrine subtypes: insulin+ β-cells, glucagon+ α-cells, and somatostatin+ δ-cells. We previously reported that a combination of three transcription factors, Ngn3, Mafa, and Pdx1, directly reprogram pancreatic acinar cells to β-cells. We now show that acinar cells can be converted to δ-like and α-like cells by Ngn3 and Ngn3+Mafa respectively. Thus, three major islet endocrine subtypes can be derived by acinar reprogramming. Ngn3 promotes establishment of a generic endocrine state in acinar cells at the onset of reprogramming in addition to promoting δ-specification. Mafa and Pdx1 suppress δ-specification in α- and β-cell formation. These studies identify a set of defined factors whose combinatorial actions reprogram acinar cells to distinct islet endocrine subtypes in vivo. induced beta cells samples at day 10 collected for the microarray

Benary2021 - tissue dynamics of the hepato-pancreato-biliary organ system

Project description:Single cell-based studies have revealed tremendous cellular heterogeneity in stem cell and progenitor compartments, suggesting continuous differentiation trajectories with intermixing of cells at various states of lineage commitment and notable degree of plasticity during organogenesis. The hepato-pancreato-biliary organ system relies on a small endoderm progenitor compartment that gives rise to a variety of different adult tissues, including liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and extra-hepatic bile ducts. Experimental manipulation of various developmental signals in the mouse embryo underscored important cellular plasticity in this embryonic territory. This is also reflected in the existence of human genetic syndromes as well as congenital or environmentally-caused human malformations featuring multiorgan phenotypes in liver, pancreas and gallbladder. Nevertheless, the precise lineage hierarchy and succession of events leading to the segregation of an endoderm progenitor compartment into hepatic, biliary, and pancreatic structures are not yet established. Here, we combine computational modelling approaches with genetic lineage tracing to assess the tissue dynamics accompanying the ontogeny of the hepato-pancreato-biliary organ system. We show that a multipotent progenitor domain persists at the border between liver and pancreas, even after pancreatic fate is specified, contributing to the formation of several organ derivatives, including the liver. Moreover, using single-cell RNA sequencing we define a specialized niche that possibly supports such extended cell fate plasticity.

Somatostatin-interacting human brain proteins

Project description:Somatostatin (SST) is a cyclic peptide that is understood to inhibit the release of hormones and neurotransmitters from a variety of cells by binding to one of five canonical G protein-coupled SST receptors (SSTR1 to SSTR5). Recently, SST was observed to also interact with the amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide and affect its aggregation kinetics, raising the question which other brain proteins it can bind to. Here we report on an SST interactome analysis that made use of human brain extracts as biological source material and incorporated advanced mass spectrometry workflows for the relative quantitation of binders.

Transcriptomic profiling of alpha, beta, and delta cell populations provides new insights into the role of ghrelin in the pancreas

Project description:Intra-islet crosstalk between islet cells is critical in orchestrating the body’s response to changes in blood glucose levels, but is incompletely understood. In this study, we used transgenic mouse lines that allowed the purification and transcriptomic characterisation of alpha, beta, and delta cells, yielding an RNA-sequencing database that can be searched for regulatory proteins which are differentially expressed between cell types. As an illustrative example, we examined the expression of g-protein coupled receptors, and found that the ghrelin receptor, Ghsr, was highly expressed in delta cells compared to alpha and beta cells. GHSR excitation elicited increases in cytosolic calcium levels in primary delta cells. In the perfused pancreas, the application of ghrelin stimulated somatostatin secretion, correlating with a decrease in insulin and glucagon release, which was sensitive to somatostatin receptor antagonism. These results show that ghrelin acts specifically on delta cells within pancreatic islets to affect blood glucose regulation.

Gene expression profile of neurons expressing protein kinase C δ (PKCδ) or somatostatin (SST) in the central amygdala (CEA) of mice

Project description:Circuit neuroscience has made great progress by linking neuronal function to marker gene expression, allowing the specific investigation of otherwise indistinguishable neuronal ensembles. Here, we performed next generation sequencing on two functionally and genetically distinct interneuronal populations marked by the expression of protein kinase C δ (PKCδ) or somatostatin (SST) in the central amygdala (CEA) of mice, which are known to play distinct and sometimes opposing roles in emotion processing. Making their gene expression profile known will aid in forming hypotheses of how different neurotransmitters or psychoactive drugs could alter information processing in these neurons.

FGF2 sustains NANOG and switches the outcome of BMP4 induced human embryonic stem cell differentiation

Project description:NANOG has emerged as a central gatekeeper of pluripotency. Here we show that as human embryonic stem (ES) cells exit the pluripotent state, NANOG can play a key role in determining lineage outcome. It has previously been reported that BMPs can induce differentiation of human ES cells into extraembryonic lineages. Here we report that FGF2 switches BMP4 induced differentiation outcome to mesendoderm, characterized by the uniform expression of T (brachyury) and other primitive streak markers. Blocking the MEK-ERK pathway either by chemical inhibitors or by an ERK-specific phosphatase (DUSP6) blocks the FGF2-mediated lineage switch. Active MEK-ERK signaling prolongs NANOG expression during BMP-induced differentiation. Forced NANOG expression results in FGF independent BMP4 induction of mesendoderm, and knockdown of NANOG greatly reduces T induction. Together, our results demonstrate that FGF2 signaling switches the outcome of BMP4 induced differentiation of human ES cells by maintaining NANOG levels through the MEK-ERK pathway. There are three sets of expression data. Set 1 (14 samples) is 5day human ES cells (H1) differentiated with different concentrations of BMP4, in the presence or absence of FGF2. Set 2 (14 samples) is 50ng/mL of BMP4 induced H1 cells differentiation time course, with or without FGF2. Set 3 (22 samples) is 5ng/mL of BMP4 induced H1 cells differentiation time course, with or without FGF2.

Effect of somatostatin knockout on sexually dimorphic hepatic gene expression

Project description:The liver is one of the most sexually dimorphic organs as measured by gene expression differences. About 80% of the sexually dimorphic genes are known to be regulated by growth hormone (GH). Somatostatin (SST) inhibits the release of GH. We generated a SST-knockout mouse and analyzed the hepatic gene expression changes in both sexes.
