Project description:Genome-wide association studies in human type 2 diabetes (T2D) have renewed interest in the pancreatic islet as a major site of T2D risk. In this study, microarray data collected from mouse islets were used to identify genes that are regulated by cytokines at levels consistent with the chronic low-grade inflammation observed in T2D. The most cytokine-sensitive genes were then examined for association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with acute insulin response to glucose (AIRg) measured in the Genetics UndeRlying DIAbetes in HispaNics (GUARDIAN) study. In GUARDIAN, there was evidence of association of AIRg with SNPs in ARAP3 (5q31.3), F13A1 (6p25.3), KLHL6 (3q27.1), NID1 (1q42.3), PAMR1 (11p13), RIPK2 (8q21.3), and STEAP4 (7q21.12). These data support the mouse islet microarray data in detection of seven novel genes with potential importance to islet dysfunction in T2D. To further assess each gene, murine islets were exposed for 48-hrs to the following stressors representing models of beta-cell failure: 20nM rotenone (oxidative stress), 100nM thapsigargin (ER stress), 10pg/ml IL-1B + 20pg/ml IL-6 (cytokines/low-grade inflammation), 28mM glucose (hyperglycemia), or 50uM palmitate + 100uM oleate + 50uM linoleate (lipotoxicity). RT-PCR revealed that F13a1 was downregulated 3.3-fold by cytokines (P<0.05) and 2.6-fold by rotenone (P<0.05), Klhl6 was upregulated 4.3-fold by thapsigargin (P<0.01), Ripk2 was mildly (1.5-3-fold) but significantly upregulated by all stressors (P<0.05), and STEAP4 was profoundly cytokine-sensitive (167-fold upregulation, P<0.01). These findings reveal promising leads in elucidating islet dysfunction during the development of T2D.

Project description:Obesity is a strong risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. We have previously reported that in adipose tissue of obese (ob/ob) mice, the expression of adipogenic genes is decreased. When made genetically obese, the BTBR mouse strain is diabetes susceptible and the C57BL/6J (B6) strain is diabetes resistant. We used DNA microarrays and RT-PCR to compare the gene expression in BTBR-ob/ob versus B6-ob/ob mice in adipose tissue, liver, skeletal muscle, and pancreatic islets. Our results show: 1) there is an increased expression of genes involved in inflammation in adipose tissue of diabetic mice; 2) lipogenic gene expression was lower in adipose tissue of diabetes-susceptible mice, and it continued to decrease with the development of diabetes, compared with diabetes-resistant obese mice; 3) hepatic expression of lipogenic enzymes was increased and the hepatic triglyceride content was greatly elevated in diabetes-resistant obese mice; 4) hepatic expression of gluconeogenic genes was suppressed at the prediabetic stage but not at the onset of diabetes; and 5) genes normally not expressed in skeletal muscle and pancreatic islets were expressed in these tissues in the diabetic mice. We propose that increased hepatic lipogenic capacity protects the B6-ob/ob mice from the development of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes 52:688â700, 2003 Experiment Overall Design: Four B6-ob/ob and four BTBR-ob/ob male mice at 14 weeks of age were used in the microarray study. RNA samples from two individuals were pooled for each tissue, and each pooled RNA sample was applied to an Affymetrix MGU74AV2 array. Because of the scarcity of islets in the BTBR-ob/ob mice, 4 additional mice were pooled to obtain islet RNA from these animals. Sixteen MGU74Av2 arrays (2 strains X 4 tissues X 2 replicates = 16 arrays) were used to monitor the expression level of â12,000 genes or ESTs.

Project description:Overnutrition contributes to insulin resistance, obesity and metabolic stress, initiating a loss of functional beta-cells and diabetes development. Whether these damaging effects are amplified in advanced age is barely investigated. Therefore, New Zealand Obese (NZO) mice, a well-established model for the investigation of human obesity-associated type 2 diabetes, were fed a metabolically challenging diet with a high-fat, carbohydrate restricted period followed by a carbohydrate intervention in young as well as advanced age. Interestingly, while young NZO mice developed massive hyperglycemia in response to carbohydrate feeding, leading to beta-cell dysfunction and cell death, aged counterparts compensated the increased insulin demand by persistent beta-cell function and beta-cell mass expansion. Beta-cell loss in young NZO islets was linked to increased expression of thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), presumably initiating an apoptosis-signaling cascade via caspase-3 activation. In contrast, islets of aged NZOs exhibited a sustained redox balance without changes in TXNIP expression, associated with higher proliferative potential by cell cycle activation. These findings support the relevance of a maintained proliferative potential and redox homeostasis for preserving islet functionality under metabolic stress, with the peculiarity that this adaptive response emerged with advanced age in diabetes-prone NZO mice.

Project description:This program addresses the molecular basis of beta-cell failure associated with the development of type 2 diabetes in the db/db mice. Specifically, which genes are differentially expressed in pancreatic islets of the db/db mice compared to the control db/+ mice? The db/db mice islets profiling data was analyzed by identifying genes that were up- and down-regulated at selected p value and fold change in the islets of db/db mice compared to the corresponding db/+ controls.

Project description:Hyperinsulinemia often precedes type 2 diabetes but its role in disease progression is unknown. Palmitoylation, a protein modification implicated in regulated exocytosis, is reversed by acyl-protein thioesterase 1 (APT1). We found altered APT1 biology in pancreatic islets from humans with type 2 diabetes, and APT1 knockdown in nondiabetic human islets caused insulin hypersecretion. Chow fed global and islet specific APT1 knockout mice had enhanced glucose tolerance due to islet autonomous increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. APT1 deficiency did not affect islet calcium dynamics but prolonged insulin granule fusion. Using palmitoylation proteomics, we identified Scamp1 as an APT1 substrate that localized to insulin secretory granules. Knockdown of Scamp1 caused insulin hypersecretion. APT1 deficient insulinoma cells subjected to nutrient excess had increased apoptosis, and expression of a mutated Scamp1 incapable of being palmitoylated in APT1 deficient cells rescued insulin hypersecretion and nutrient induced apoptosis. Compared to APT1 sufficient controls, high fat fed islet specific APT1 knockout mice and global APT1 deficient db/db mice showed increased -cell failure. These findings suggest that the depalmitoylation enzyme APT1 is regulated in human islets, and that APT1 deficiency causes insulin hypersecretion leading to -cell failure, modeling the evolution of some forms of human type 2 diabetes.

Project description:Young and aged, diabetes-prone (NZO/HIBomDife) as well as diabetes-resistant (B6.V-Lep ob/ob) mice exhibited different islet functions and phenotypes in response to a carbohydrate-rich diet (CRD) subsequent to a high-fat, carbohydrate-free diet (HFD). To unravel the molecular basis underlying these alterations, a microarray-based transcriptome analysis of isolated pancreatic islets before and after 2 days of CRD feeding was performed. A high number of differentially expressed genes associated with redox homeostasis, in particular Thioredoxin-interacting protein (Txnip), as well as genes involved in cell cycle entry and cell proliferation, such as cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases and Mki67 were identified and associated with these changes. In addition, aged NZO/HIBomDife and age-matched, B6.V-Lep ob/ob mice revealed a high overlap of regulated genes, also linked to cell cycle progression under the same dietary regimen.

Project description:In type 2 diabetes, pancreatic beta-cells fail to compensate for the presence of insulin resistance in target tissues and represent a central player in the disease development. Identifying and studying innovative molecular mechanisms that lead to beta-cell failure in diabetes represent an interesting line of research and are necessary. N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant modification in mRNA and is found virtually in all mammals. Through m6A-profiling, we aim to characterize the dynamic RNA methylation changes in islets obtained from patients with type 2 diabetes.
