Project description:Islets are known to respond to changes in ambient glucose. To quantify the transcriptome-wide changes in ambient glucose, we compared transcriptome of islets exposed to low and high glucose. Isolated islets from wild type male mice. Islets from adult males were pooled, cultured overnight in RPMI containing 11 mM glucose. The next day, all islets were starved in RPMI containing 2.8 mM glucose for 2 hours before stimulation with 2.8 mM glucose or 16.8 mM glucose for 12 hours. Islets were lysed in Trizol for RNA isolation and library construction.

Project description:β-cell identity is determined by tightly regulated transcriptional networks that are modulated by extracellular cues, thereby ensuring β-cell adaptation to the organism’s insulin demands. We have observed in pancreatic islets that stimulatory glucose concentrations induced a gene profile that was similar to that of freshly isolated islets, indicating that glucose-elicited cues are involved in maintaining β-cell identity. Low glucose induces the expression of ubiquitous genes involved in stress responses, nutrient sensing, and organelle biogenesis. By contrast, stimulatory glucose concentrations activate genes with a more restricted expression pattern (β- and neuronal- cell identity). Consistently, glucose-induced genes are globally reduced in islets deficient with Hnf1a (MODY3), characterized by a deficient glucose metabolism. Of interest, a cell cycle gene module was the most enriched among the variable genes between intermediate and stimulatory glucose concentrations. Glucose regulation of the islet transcriptome was unexpectedly broadly maintained in islets from aged mice. However, the cell cycle gene module is selectively lost in old islets and the glucose activation of this module is not recovered even in the absence of the cell cycle inhibitor p16. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression regulated by glucose in young and aged pancreatic islets as well as freshly-isolated islets.

We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression regulated by glucose in young and aged pancreatic islets as well as freshly-isolated islets. Pancreatic islets from young and old mice were isolated and cultured at different glucose concentrations for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Islets were cultured at 3mM (G3), 5.5mM (G5), 11mM (G11) and 16mM (G16). Freshly-isolated islets (F) were also processed for RNA extraction . We also assessed the dynamic glucose regulation of gene expression at different time-points after an overnight at 3mM (T0): after 1h at 11mM (T1) and after 4h (T4).

Project description:Background: Survival and function of insulin-secreting pancreatic β-cells are markedly altered by changes in nutrient availability. In vitro, culture in 10 rather than 2mM glucose improves rodent β-cell survival and function whereas glucose concentrations above 10mM are deleterious. Aim-Method: To identify the mechanisms of such β-cell plasticity, we tested the effects of a 18h culture at 2, 5, 10 and 30mM glucose on the transcriptome of rat islets precultured for 1 week at 10mM glucose (Affymetrix Rat 230.2 arrays). Results: Culture in either 2-5mM or 30mM instead of 10mM glucose markedly impaired β-cell function without affecting islet cell survival. Of ~16000 probe sets reliably detected in islets, ~5000 were significantly regulated at least 1.4-fold by glucose. Analysis of these probe sets with GeneCluster software identified 10 mRNA profiles with unidirectional up- or down-regulation between 2 and 10, 2 and 30, 5 and 10, 5 and 30 or 10 and 30 mM glucose, and 8 complex V-shaped or inverse V-shaped profiles with a nadir or peak level of expression in 5 or 10mM glucose. Analysis of genes belonging to these various clusters with Onto-express and GenMapp software revealed several signaling and metabolic pathways that may contribute to the induction of β-cell dysfunction and apoptosis after culture in low or high vs. intermediate glucose concentration. Conclusion: We have identified 18 distinct mRNA profiles of glucose-induced changes in islet gene mRNA levels that should help understanding the mechanisms by which glucose affects β-cell survival and function under states of chronic hypo- or hyperglycemia. Experiment Overall Design: Effect of 18h culture in 2, 5, 10 and 30 mmol/l glucose on the transcriptome of rat pancreatic islets precultured for 1 week in 10 mmol/l glucose. Four experiments were done on different islet preparations over a two-months period.

Project description:Islet transplantation has the potential to benefit patients with type I diabetes, but this cellular therapy is limited by a shortage of islets, which necessitates the collection or production of islets from alternative sources. If islets produced from stem cells are to be used for transplant therapy they should precisely replicate beta-cell function. Characterization of the unique molecular mechanisms underlying the beta-cell’s response to glucose stimulation will allow a better understanding of critical elements that the alternative cells must possess. Human islets from five donors were stimulated with glucose for various durations of time to discover the glucose-responsive pathways operating at a molecular level in islets. Compared with human hepatocytes, fibroblasts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, human islets displayed distinct gene expression signatures. Seven hundred and forty genes were differentially expressed in islets during short-term glucose stimulation and 42 of these genes were exclusively expressed in terms of tissue specificity and exposure duration. One thousand six hundred and thirty five genes were differentially expressed in islets during long-term glucose stimulation and 148 of these genes were exclusively expressed. The expression of two important glucose-responsive genes TSC2 and ARF1 were measured by real-time PCR in mouse MIN6 beta-cell line. Insulin secretion from ARF1 knockdown MIN6 cells decreased by 1-fold compared with controls, and TSC2-knockdown MIN6 cells decreased by 2-fold. These findings may allow for better direction of the differentiation of other types of cells such as embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cell into insulin-producing cells.

Project description:We have observed an improvement of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion upon the formation of pseudoislets. Transcriptome analyses of islets and pseudoislets from the same human donor were performed to determine the functional improvement. We identified 38844 transcripts and revealed that unlike islets, pseudoislets were deprived of exocrine and endothelial cells. In addition, the mRNA levels of proteins related to apoptosis and inflammation as well as the components of extracellular matrix were less abundant in pseudoislets.

Project description:An increasing demand for cell-based diabetes therapy could be met through xenotransplantation of adult porcine islets. Use of islet xenotranplantation on a large scale would require rigorous safety and quality control measures to maximize transplant success. Development of molecular tools to monitor porcine islet cellular responses to ischemic, osmotic, mechanical and oxidative stresses during islet cell processing and post-isolation culturing would aid the rational design of cytoprotective strategies aimed at improving transplant outcomes. In addition, gene expression signatures informative for islet quality could serve as an adjunct to physiological testing to establish the suitability of islet products for transplantation. Nine adult Landrace sows (2-3.5 y old, 249±27 kg) were sacrificed, the pancreases were dissected, and islet cells isolated as previously described [8]. Islet preparation purity was assessed by light microscopy after staining with diphenylthiocarbazone and ranged between 90-95% for the preparations used. Islet yield, based on islet equivalents (IEQ, number of islets standardized to 150 µm diameter), was estimated at 1930±520 per gram of pancreas tissue.Profiles of islet cells cultured under standard conditions were compared to islet cells cultured under stress conditions with elevated glucose (16.7 mM) or addition of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1ï¢, TNF-ï¡, and IFN-ï§), or both, for 48 hours.

Project description:The short chain fatty acid (SCFA) receptor (free fatty acid receptor-3; FFAR3) is expressed in pancreatic beta cells; however, its role in insulin secretion is not clearly defined. Here, we examined the role of FFAR3 in insulin secretion. Using islets from global knockout FFAR3 (Ffar3-/-) mice, we explored the role of FFAR3 and ligand-induced FFAR3 signaling on glucose stimulated insulin secretion. RNA sequencing was also performed to gain greater insight into the impact of FFAR3 deletion on the islet transcriptome. First exploring insulin secretion, it was determined that Ffar3-/- islets secrete more insulin in a glucose-dependent manner as compared to wildtype (WT) islets. Next, exploring its primary endogenous ligand, propionate, and a specific agonist for FFAR3, signaling by FFAR3 inhibited glucose-dependent insulin secretion, which occurred through a Gαi/o pathway. To help understand these results, transcriptome analyses by RNA-sequencing of Ffar3-/- and WT islets observed multiple genes with well known roles in islet biology to be altered by genetic knockout of FFAR3. Our data shows that FFAR3 signaling mediates glucose stimulated insulin secretion through Gαi/o sensitive pathway. Future studies are needed to more rigorously define the role of FFAR3 by in vivo approaches.
