Project description:Neonatal beta-cells undergo a maturation process to acquire glucose responsiveness. We hypothesize that in later life, a partial reversal of this maturation might promote beta-cell dysfunction. We previously ascertained that fetuin-A, a fetal glycoprotein downregulated at birth but increasingly secreted when fatty liver develops, inhibits insulin secretion. Here, we evaluate fetuin-A’s impact on beta-cell maturation. In vitro maturation of neonatal porcine islet cell clusters (NICCs) promoted expression of beta-cell markers and TGFBR/SMAD signaling. Fetuin-A reduced both functional and proliferative gene expression and SMAD phosphorylation. Consequently, fetuin-A impaired glucose- and forskolin-dependent secretion, and reduced adaptive beta-cell proliferation. In adult human islets, fetuin-A abolished glucose responsiveness, diminished SMAD phosphorylation and downregulated functional and proliferative genes. Our findings suggest that perinatal decline of fetuin-A relieves TGFBR signaling in neonatal beta-cells, thereby facilitating the onset of postnatal maturation. However, this program remains revocable during adulthood, since fatty liver-derived fetuin-A reverses beta-cells’ maturity, conferring them a neonatal-like phenotype and contributing to their failure.

Project description:Aims/hypothesisNeonatal beta cells carry out a programme of postnatal functional maturation to achieve full glucose responsiveness. A partial loss of the mature phenotype of adult beta cells may contribute to a reduction of functional beta cell mass and accelerate the onset of type 2 diabetes. We previously found that fetuin-A, a hepatokine increasingly secreted by the fatty liver and a determinant of type 2 diabetes, inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) of human islets. Since fetuin-A is a ubiquitous fetal glycoprotein that declines peripartum, we examined here whether fetuin-A interferes with the functional maturity of beta cells.MethodsThe effects of fetuin-A were assessed during in vitro maturation of porcine neonatal islet cell clusters (NICCs) and in adult human islets. Expression alterations were examined via microarray, RNA sequencing and reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), proteins were analysed by western blotting and immunostaining, and insulin secretion was quantified in static incubations.ResultsNICC maturation was accompanied by the gain of glucose-responsive insulin secretion (twofold stimulation), backed up by mRNA upregulation of genes governing beta cell identity and function, such as NEUROD1, UCN3, ABCC8 and CASR (Log2 fold change [Log2FC] > 1.6). An active TGFβ receptor (TGFBR)-SMAD2/3 pathway facilitates NICC maturation, since the TGFBR inhibitor SB431542 counteracted the upregulation of aforementioned genes and de-repressed ALDOB, a gene disallowed in mature beta cells. In fetuin-A-treated NICCs, upregulation of beta cell markers and the onset of glucose responsiveness were suppressed. Concomitantly, SMAD2/3 phosphorylation was inhibited. Transcriptome analysis confirmed inhibitory effects of fetuin-A and SB431542 on TGFβ-1- and SMAD2/3-regulated transcription. However, contrary to SB431542 and regardless of cMYC upregulation, fetuin-A inhibited beta cell proliferation (0.27 ± 0.08% vs 1.0 ± 0.1% Ki67-positive cells in control NICCs). This effect was sustained by reduced expression (Log2FC ≤ -2.4) of FOXM1, CENPA, CDK1 or TOP2A. In agreement, the number of insulin-positive cells was lower in fetuin-A-treated NICCs than in control NICCs (14.4 ± 1.2% and 22.3 ± 1.1%, respectively). In adult human islets fetuin-A abolished glucose responsiveness, i.e. 1.7- and 1.1-fold change over 2.8 mmol/l glucose in control- and fetuin-A-cultured islets, respectively. In addition, fetuin-A reduced SMAD2/3 phosphorylation and suppressed expression of proliferative genes. Of note, in non-diabetic humans, plasma fetuin-A was negatively correlated (p = 0.013) with islet beta cell area.Conclusions/interpretationOur results suggest that the perinatal decline of fetuin-A relieves TGFBR signalling in islets, a process that facilitates functional maturation of neonatal beta cells. Functional maturity remains revocable in later life, and the occurrence of a metabolically unhealthy milieu, such as liver steatosis and elevated plasma fetuin-A, can impair both function and adaptive proliferation of beta cells.Data availabilityThe RNAseq datasets and computer code produced in this study are available in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO): GSE144950; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE144950.

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: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:Glis3 is expressed in pancreatic beta and PP cells. To identify down stream target genes of Glis3, we performed microarray analysis using pancreas total RNAs from 1 week-old WT and Glis3KO2 mice. insulin and pancreatic polypeptide (Ppy) was significantly decreased together with several other β cell markers, Glut2 and MafA by microarray analysis. Immunohistochemistry, QRT-PCR, and transmission electron microscopy indicated that postnatal Glis3KO2 pancreas still contains a large population of β cells that express Pdx-1, Nkx6.1, and Isl-1; however, insulin production and secretory granules were greatly reduced in these cells. In addition, chromogranin A (ChgA) and Urocortin 3, which are associated with mature β cells, was dramatically decreased in Glis3KO2 pancreas. These observations suggest that Glis3 plays a critical role in the maturation of pancreatic β cell phenotype. Pancreatic total RNAs were purified from 4 WT and 4 Glis3KO2 at 1 week old age. Then the samples were applied to Agilent mouse genome chip.

Project description:Pancreatic β-cells are responsible for production and secretion of insulin in response to increasing blood glucose levels. Therefore, defects in pancreatic β-cell function lead to hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus. Understanding the molecular mechanisms governing β cell function is crucial for development of novel treatment strategies for this disease. The aim of this project was to investigate the role of Cnot3, part of CCR4-NOT complex, major deadenylase complex in mammals, in pancreatic β cell function. Cnot3βKO islets display decreased expression of key regulators of β cell maturation and function. Moreover, they show an increase of progenitor cell markers, β cell-disallowed genes and genes relevant to altered β cell function. Cnot3βKO islets exhibit altered deadenylation and increased mRNA stability, partly accounting for the increase of those genes. Together, these data reveal that CNOT3-mediated mRNA deadenylation and decay constitute previously unsuspected post-transcriptional mechanisms essential for β cell identity.

Project description:Using 10x Genomics Chromium Single Cell 3’ RNAseq platform, we sequenced human stem cell derived pancreatic islet cells during different stages of development and maturation process. We optimized a protocol for pancreatic endocrine differentiation, particularly focusing on the final, extended maturation stage during which significant reorganization of the cytoarchitecture of islet-like aggregates took place correlating with a remarkable maturation of glucose-induced insulin secretion. The transcriptomic changes during the time-course were combined with detailed physiological studies including dynamic insulin secretion assays, respirometry measurements, electrophysiological profiling as well as imaging of calcium and cAMP signaling and exocytosis.
