Project description:We have shown that increased β-cell proliferation in functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (insulinomas) correlated with expression of phosphorylated isoform of the transcription factor HLXB9 which is an embryonic beta-cell differentiation factor (HLXB9 is also known as HB9, MNR2, and MNX1). To investigate the target genes of phospho-HLXB9 we did ChIP-seq using anti-HB9-PO4. This would help us better understand how phospho-HLXB9 regulates its targets and affects β-cell proliferation in insulinoma cells.

Project description:Transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulatory networks play a crucial role in the maintenance and adaptation of pancreatic beta-cell function. In this study we show that the levels of the prototypic neuroendocrine miRNA-7 are regulated in islets of obese, diabetic and aged mouse models. Using gain- and loss-of-function models we demonstrate that miR-7 regulates crucial members of the endocrine pancreatic transcriptional network controlling differentiation and insulin synthesis. Importantly, it also directly regulates key proteins in the insulin granule secretory machinery. These results reveal an interconnecting miR-7 genomic circuit that influences beta-cell differentiation, insulin synthesis and release and define a role for miR-7 as an endocrine checkpoint to stabilize beta-cell function during metabolic stress. These findings have implications for miR-7 inhibitors as potential therapies for type 2 diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. Either miR-7a2 or miR-7b were over-expressed in MIN6 cells using an adenoviral vector. The miR-7a infection was performed in duplicates. In addition, a GFP over-expression in MIN6 using the same viral vector served as control. We also explored the consequence of miR-7a2 deletion in pancreatic beta-cells by generating a beta-cells specific miR-7a2 knock-out using the Lox/Cre system in a C57BL/6 background. We profiled gene expression in mutant and wild-type (control) islets.

Project description:Recent studies have uncovered thousands of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in human pancreatic β cells. β cell lncRNAs are often cell type specific and exhibit dynamic regulation during differentiation or upon changing glucose concentrations. Although these features hint at a role of lncRNAs in β cell gene regulation and diabetes, the function of β cell lncRNAs remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the function of β cell-specific lncRNAs and transcription factors using transcript knockdowns and co-expression network analysis. This revealed lncRNAs that function in concert with transcription factors to regulate β cell-specific transcriptional networks. We further demonstrate that the lncRNA PLUTO affects local 3D chromatin structure and transcription of PDX1, encoding a key β cell transcription factor, and that both PLUTO and PDX1 are downregulated in islets from donors with type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. These results implicate lncRNAs in the regulation of β cell-specific transcription factor networks.

Project description:GWAS provided many β cell function-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) without clearly pathogenic mechanism. Stepwise differentiation of pancreatic β cells provide the promise to study developmental genetic disorders. Here, we focused on SNP rs6048205 (A/G) located in downstream noncoding region of FOXA2, which was annotated with fast glucose and β cell function risk. We introduced the mutation into human pluripotent stem cells, directed pancreatic differentiation revealed that risk G mutation reduce the percentage of PDX1+NKX6-1+ progenitor cells at pancreatic progenitor 2 stage (PP2), and then defect the function of β cells in-vitro. Mechanistically, risk allele G variant could alter the upstream factor RXRA binding to ectopically promote the expression of FOXA2, which is an important transcription factor in pancreatic development.

Project description:Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is one of the most common serine/threonine phosphatases in mammalian cells and primarily functions to regulate cell signaling, glycolipid metabolism, and apoptosis. Its PP2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) plays an important role in its function. Nonetheless, at present, there are only a few reports on the regulatory role of PP2Ac in pancreatic β-cells under lipotoxicity. Mouse pancreatic insulinoma (MIN6) cells were transfected by lentiviruses to generate PP2Ac knockdown cells and incubated with palmitate (PA) to establish the lipotoxicity model. Serine/Threonine Phosphatase Assay System kit, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western Blotting (WB) and other techniques were used to measure PP2A activity, cell viability, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and insulin secretion. An animal model of lipotoxicity with knockdown of PP2Ac was established by a high-fat diet (HFD) after using adeno-associated viruses (AAV) to interfere with PP2Ac expression in mouse pancreatic tissues. Serine/Threonine Phosphatase Assay System kit, ELISA, pancreatic tissue immunofluorescence and other techniques were used to measure PP2A activity in pancreatic tissue, serum insulin level and the proliferation of mouse pancreatic β-cells. We found that PP2Ac knockdown inhibited lipotoxicity-induced PP2A hyperactivation, increased the resistance of pancreatic β-cells to lipotoxicity, decreased PA-induced apoptosis in MIN6 cells, protected the function of both the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, and improved insulin secretion. By mRNA sequencing and Western blotting analysis, we hypothesized that the protective effects of PP2Ac knockdown in MIN6 cells may be mediated by the MAPK pathway. Moreover, the results obtained from animal experiments suggest that the specific knockdown of pancreatic PP2Ac could effectively attenuate HFD-induced insulin resistance and reduce the compensatory proliferation of pancreatic β-cells in mice. The present study revealed the effects and mechanisms of interfering with PP2Ac gene expression on pancreatic β-cells in vivo and in vitro, which might provide insights for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in the clinic.

Project description:As a transcription factor, Ets1 (E26 transformation-specific-1 transcription factor) plays an important role in cell growth, development, differentiation, etc. Our research found that it plays an crucial role in β cell dysfunction induced by metabolic stress such as high glucose. In order to further clarify the downstream target molecules of Ets1 in β cells and the potential mechanism of regulating the mRNA level of target molecules, we transfected Min6(Mouse insulinoma cells) with control virus (Ad-GFP) and Ets-1 overexpression adenovirus (Ad-Ets-1) respectively. Through immunoprecipitation of Ets1 antibody, the DNA fragment specifically bound to Ets1 was obtained and used in high-throughput sequencing. By comparing the enriched DNA fragment with mouse genome (mm10) DNA, the downstream genes that Ets1 can bind to under physiological conditions and the differential peak related genes after overexpression of Ets1 were obtained. Through GO analysis and KFGG analysis of the above related genes, it was confirmed that there was an obvious regulatory relationship between Ets1 and β cell function related genes.

Project description:Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) is suppressed through α-adrenergic receptor stimulation by catecholamines, epinephrine and norepinephrine, in pancreatic β-cells. Previous work has elucidated a bevy of adrenergic regulatory mechanisms beyond traditional Gi-coupled signaling including regulation of ion channels and interactions with exocytotic machinery. Glucose oxidation may also be an important site for adrenergic regulation of GSIS, but the link between epinephrine and glucose oxidation in β-cells is undefined. Here, we evaluate whether adrenergic stimulation decreases oxidative metabolism in β cells. Oxygen consumption rates were determined for Min6 and isolated rat islets in 20mM glucose complete media, then epinephrine was added at either 0 nM (vehicle control) or 100nM, followed by 10uM yohimbine (a selective Adrα2A antagonist). To identify glucose oxidation as the primary metabolic pathway affected by epinephrine, oxidation of 14C(U)-labeled glucose was determined in Min6 cells with epinephrine or vehicle. Oxygen consumption and glucose oxidation experiments were conducted in the presence of cAMP and insulin secretion blockers, respectively. Proteomics was performed on Min6 cells exposed to epinephrine for 4 hours and compared to controls. Epinephrine, but not vehicle, reduced (P<0.01) oxygen consumption rates in rat islets and Min6 cells to 64 ± 6% and 65 ± 1% of baseline, respectively, and yohimbine restored oxygen consumption to rates not different from baseline. In Min6 cells incubated with epinephrine rates of 14C glucose oxidation were reduced (P<0.01) 66 ± 4% compared to vehicle controls. These results demonstrate that acute epinephrine exposure suppresses glucose oxidation in β cells via the specific adrenergic receptor, Adrα2A, and indicate a new role for adrenergic regulation in GSIS.
