Virgin Beta Cells Persist throughout Life at a Neogenic Niche within Pancreatic Islets

ABSTRACT: Beta cells are the sole source of insulin in our body, yet we do not understand how they mature into fully functional, glucose-responsive beta cells. We discovered a persistent population of immature beta cells that is marked by the absence of Ucn3 and is functionally immature. We generated transcriptomes of these immature beta cells, along with mature beta cells and the mixed pool of non-beta cells from the same islets. This enables a systematic comparison across thousands of genes between two distinct maturation stages of the beta cell.

Transcriptome comparison of pancreatic islets of Urocortin3 null islets and wild type controls.

Project description:The peptide hormone Urocortin3 (Ucn3) is abundantly expressed by mature beta cells, yet its physiological role is unknown. Transcriptome data from Ucn3 null islets compared to wild type controls reveals selective depletion for delta cell markers and supports a role for Ucn3 as a trigger for somatostatin-mediated negative feedback. Isolated islets from Ucn3 knockout animals compared to wild type littermate controls. Islets from three indivual males were used for each genotype, lysed in Trizol for RNA isolation and library construction.

Virgin Beta Cells Persist throughout Life at a Neogenic Niche within Pancreatic Islets.

Project description:Postnatal maintenance or regeneration of pancreatic beta cells is considered to occur exclusively via the replication of existing beta cells, but clinically meaningful restoration of human beta cell mass by proliferation has never been achieved. We discovered a population of immature beta cells that is present throughout life and forms from non-beta precursors at a specialized micro-environment or "neogenic niche" at the islet periphery. These cells express insulin, but lack other key beta cell markers, and are transcriptionally immature, incapable of sensing glucose, and unable to support calcium influx. They constitute an intermediate stage in the transdifferentiation of alpha cells to cells that are functionally indistinguishable from conventional beta cells. We thus identified a lifelong source of new beta cells at a specialized site within healthy islets. By comparing co-existing immature and mature beta cells within healthy islets, we stand to learn how to mature insulin-expressing cells into functional beta cells.

Insm1 cooperates with Neurod1 and Foxa2 to maintain mature pancreatic β-cell function (Expression data from islets of control and Insm1 conditional deleted adult pancreatic islets)

Project description:The zinc finger factor Insm1 is known to regulate differentiation of pancreatic β cells during development, Here we show that Insm1 is essential for the maintenance of functionally mature pancreatic β cells in mice. We used microarrays to analyse the global gene expression after deletion of insm1 in adult pancreatic β cells and identified functional important genes and immature islets releated genes deregulated in the mutatant islets.

RNA-seq of Ins+, Ucn3+/- cell populations within developmental mouse islets using MARIS

Project description:The aim of this experiment was to observe the transcriptional profile of individual populations of cells in mouse islets throughout development. MARIS was used to isolate Ins+ islet cells at E18.5 and P13, and further separate Ucn3- and Ucn3+ populations at the transition point P4 and P5.

Mouse Pancreatic Islet Maturation Time Series

Project description:Beta cells are the sole source of insulin in our body, yet we do not understand how they mature into fully functional, glucose-responsive beta cells. We generated transcriptomes of FACS-purified beta cells using the Ins1-H2b-mCherry reporter line (Jax # 028589) at different peri- and postnatal maturation stages. This enables a systematic comparison across thousands of genes as beta cells mature.

MafB maintains β-cell identity under MafA-deficient condition

Project description:The transcription factor MafB plays an essential role in β-cell differentiation during the embryonic stage in rodents. Although MafB disappears from β-cells after birth, it has been reported that MafB can be evoked in β-cells and is involved in insulin+ β-cell number and islet architecture maintenance in adult mice under diabetic conditions. However, the underlying mechanism by which MafB protects β-cells remains unknown. To elucidate this, we performed RNA sequencing using an inducible diabetes model (A0BΔpanc mice) that we previously generated. We found that the deletion of Mafb can induce β-cell dedifferentiation, characterized by the upregulation of dedifferentiation markers, Slc5a10 and Cck, and several β-cell-disallowed genes; and the downregulation of mature β-cell markers, Slc2a2 and Ucn3. However, there is no re-expression of well-known progenitor cell markers, Foxo1 and Neurog3. Furtherly, the appearance of ALDH1A3+ cell and disappearance of UCN3+ cell also verify the β-cell de-differentiation state. Together, our results suggest that MafB can maintain β-cell identity under certain pathological conditions in adult mice, providing novel insight into the role of MafB in β-cell identity maintenance.

Functional interrogation of immature β-cells reveals their role in insulin release

Project description:Immature β-cells are present in adult islets. However, their contribution to insulin release is not fully understood. Here we show that specific loss of immature β-cells induces failure throughout the β-cell complement. Functional mapping of the β-cell population in rodent and human loss-of-immaturity islets revealed defects in metabolism, ionic fluxes and insulin secretion. At the transcriptomic level, loss of immature β-cells led to dysregulation of gene pathways involved in glucose and carbohydrate-derivative metabolic processes. Using a chemogenetic disruption strategy, immature β-cells were found to depend on the islet signaling network for their phenotype. During metabolic stress, islet function could be restored by redressing the balance between immature and mature β-cells. We thus unveil immature β-cells as a critical component in islet operation. Preserving immature β-cells might be important for islet engineering efforts and more broadly the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Single-Cell Transcriptome Profiling Reveals β Cell Maturation in Stem Cell-Derived Islets after Transplantation

Project description:SC-β cells and native β cells from cadaveric islets have different transcriptome profiles. In this study, we demonstrate that SC-β cells can acquire mature gene signatures via transplantation in mice for 6 months. MAFA, a marker for mature β cells, is expressed and resulted in significant improvements in insulin release and glucose regulation in diabetic mice.
