Project description:The weaning period consist of a critical postnatal window for structural and physiologic maturation of rat beta cells. To investigate transcriptome changes involved in the maturation of beta cells neighboring this period we performed microarray analysis in FACS beta cell enriched populations to detail the global programme of gene expression to identify its changes during this process. Male Wistar rats were selected at the initial point of a postnatal critical period (postnatal 20d) for pancreatic maturation for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We obtained immature and mature beta cell-enriched populations from postnatal 20d and 2 months animals in order to compare their expression profiles. To that end, we used primary cultured FACS-enriched beta cell populations according to their FSC, SSC and autoflourescence. We used three replicates for each condition.

Project description:Pancreatic beta cells (β-cells) differentiate during fetal life, but only postnatally acquire the capacity for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). The molecular mechanisms driving this maturation of β-cell function remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that the control of cellular signaling in β-cells fundamentally switches from the nutrient sensor target of rapamycin (mTORC1) to the energy sensor 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and that this is critical for functional maturation. Moreover, AMPK is activated by the dietary transition taking place during weaning, and this in turn inhibits mTORC1 activity to drive the adult β-cell phenotype. While forcing constitutive mTORC1 signaling in adult β-cells relegates them to a functionally immature phenotype with characteristic transcriptional and metabolic profiles, engineering the switch from mTORC1 to AMPK signaling is sufficient to promote β-cell mitochondrial biogenesis, a shift to oxidative metabolism, and functional maturation. We also show that type 2 diabetes, a condition marked by both mitochondrial degeneration and dysregulated GSIS, is associated with a remarkable reversion of the normal AMPK-dependent adult β-cell signature to a more neonatal one characterized by mTORC1 activation. Manipulating the way in which cellular nutrient signaling pathways regulate β-cell metabolism may thus offer new targets to improve β-cell function in diabetes.

Project description:Modulating beta-catenin signaling has attractive therapeutic potential in cancer immunotherapy. Various studies have found that beta-catenin can mediate immune evasion in cancer and promote anti-inflammatory features of antigen-presenting dendritic cells. Multiple small-molecule compounds that inhibit Wnt/beta-catenin signaling are currently in clinical development, but none have reached routine clinical use. Thus, new inhibitors of beta-catenin signaling are desirable. This dataset is the result of an investigation of the effect of small molecular compounds axitinib, ICG-001, nitazoxanide, orlistat, and XAV-939 on the maturation capacity of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC). Treatment of immature moDC was done in combination with the beta-catenin activator 6-BIO. Immature moDCs were obtained by isolating monocytes from PBMC using magnetic beads, which were then differentiated into moDCs using GM-CSF and IL-4 for four days. Compounds were added during the maturation of the moDCs, which was done by adding LPS to the cell culture. After the maturation period of 24 hours, the mature moDCs were collected and processed for RNA sequencing.

Project description:RP-LC-MS lipidomics data was collected to understand the role of GATA1 during erythroid maturation. GATA1 mutants and WT cells were treated with or without beta-estradiol. GATA1 mutant cells were additionally treated with or without 5-ALA.

Project description:We found that in rodents, postnatal beta-cell maturation is associated with changes in the expression of several islet microRNAs and discovered that these modifications are driven by changes in the nutrient supply. Mimicking the microRNA changes observed during β-cell maturation in newborn rat islet cells was sufficient to promote glucose-induced insulin release and to achieve a mature β-cell secretory phenotype. Moreover, the modifications in the level of some of these microRNAs reduced the proliferation of newborn β-cells, suggesting that they contribute to the limited proliferative capacity of adult β-cells. These findings demonstrated that miRNAs contribute to postnatal beta-cell maturation and development. Their role is likely to promote beta-cell adaptation to fuel supply and to maintain glucose homeostasis by regulating insulin release and proliferation. Islets from 10-day-old rats (P10) (n=4) or 3-month-old male rat (n=4) were taken. Total RNA was extracted and microRNA profiling was performed with miRNA Agilent arrays.

Project description:Stem cell-derived β (SC-β) cells are an emerging regenerative therapy to compensate for loss of functional β cell mass in diabetes. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in SC-β cells is variable in vitro but stabilizes after transplantation and maturation under the kidney capsule of mice. We identified mechanisms correlated with functional maturation using RNA-sequencing and co-expression network analysis. In vivo maturation enhanced glucose-stimulated but not basal insulin secretion, up-regulated β cell hormones IAPP and ADCYAP1, increased expression of maturation markers MAFA, UCN3, and SIX2, and resolved endocrine identity of incompletely specified polyhormonal cells produced during differentiation. Transplantation promoted calcium signalling, induced exocytotic machinery supporting hormone secretion and improved stimulus-secretion coupling that fine-tunes insulin secretion. Growth hormone signalling emerged as candidate driver of in vivo maturation and was confirmed in vitro. Also, a large co-expression module correlated with HbA1c and was enriched in genes up-regulated during in vivo maturation but down-regulated in hyperglycaemic and palmitate stress conditions, suggesting that transcriptional maturation of SC-β cells in vivo mirrors processes lost in diabetic β cells.

Project description:Islet β-cells from newborn mammals need a maturation process to become mature functional beta cells. The detailed molecular mechanisms were not completely understood. This study was designed to reveal the dynamic gene expression changes during pancreatic beta-cell maturation in postnatal mice. We also want to understand how genetic mutations that impair beta-cell function change the genetic networks involved in the beta-cell maturation process. For these aims, pancreatic beta cells were isolated at P1 islets based on the expression of a MipeGFP transgene in a genetic background with pancreatic specific inactivation of Myt1, Myt1L, and St18 (denoted as MytDelpanc; MipeGFP).

Project description:The proper mammalian oocytes maturation is recognized as reaching MII stage and accumulation of mRNA and proteins in cell cytoplasm following fertilization. The proper course of folliculogenesis and oogenesis is orchestrated with morphogenesis significantly influencing further zygote formation and embryos growth. This study was aimed to determinate new transcriptomic markers of porcine oocytes morphogenesis associated with cell maturation capacity. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying changes before and after in vitro maturation of oocytes in sus scrofa
