Project description:In the context of T1 Diabetes, pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IFN-γ are known to contribute to β-cell apoptosis; The measurement of mRNA expression following β-cell exposure to these cytokines gives a picture of the changes in gene expression characterizing the path to β-cell dysfunction and death. Human islets were isolated and exposed (or not) to IL-1β and IFN-γ. The samples were collected at various time points for profiling with Affymetrix arrays. These measurements were performed three times.
Project description:We have used RNA-seq to identify transcripts, including splice variants, expressed in human islets of Langerhans under control condition or following exposure to the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ). A total of 29,776 transcripts were identified as expressed in human islets. Expression of around 20% of these transcripts was modified by pro-inflammatory cytokines, including apoptosis- and inflammation-related genes. Chemokines were among the transcripts most modified by cytokines. Interestingly, 35% of the genes expressed in human islets undergo alternative splicing as annotated in RefSeq, and cytokines caused substantial changes in spliced transcripts. Nova1, previously considered a brain-specific regulator of mRNA splicing, is expressed in islets. 25/41 of the candidate genes for type 1 diabetes are expressed in islets, and cytokines modified expression of several of these transcripts. 5 human islet of Langerhans preparations examined under 2 conditions (control and cytokine treatment)

INS1 cell lines were cultured in medium with or without IL-1β and IFN-γ. The samples were collected at various time points for profiling with Affymetrix Rat ST arrays. These experiments were performed on two separate occasions.
Project description:Lipidomics analysis of three models of insulitis and type 1 diabetes progression: isolated human islets and EndoC-betaH1 beta-cells treated with the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and IFN-gamma, and islets from non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice isolated before the onset of diabetes. Samples were extracted with chloroform:methanol:water solution and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Lipids were identified with LIQUID and quantification was performed with MZmine.

Project description:Exposure to proinflammatory cytokines is believed to contribute to pancreatic β-cells during diabetes development. While some cytokine-mediated changes in islet gene expression are known, the heterogeneity of the response is not well-understood. Following 18 hour treatment with interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) alone or together, mouse islets were subjected to single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq). Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA (Nos2), antiviral genes, and immune-associated genes were induced in a subset of β-cells in response to both cytokines, while IL-1β alone activated only antiviral genes. Subsets of α- and δ-cells expressed Nos2 and exhibited similar gene expression changes as β-cells, including induction of antiviral genes and repression of identity genes. Finally, cytokine-responsiveness was inversely correlated with expression of genes encoding heat shock proteins. Our findings show that all endocrine cell types respond to cytokines, IL-1β induces the expression of protective genes in β-cells, and cellular stress gene expression is associated with an inhibition in cytokine signaling.
