Project description:Insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells is essential for glucose homeostasis. An insufficient response to the demand for insulin results in diabetes. We previously showed that β-cell-specific deletion of Zfp148 (β-Zfp148KO) improves glucose tolerance and insulin secretion in mice. These RNA sequencing data show pathways altered in the β-Zfp148KO consistent with altered PEP cycling and improved insulin secretion responses.

Project description:Insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells is essential for glucose homeostasis. An insufficient response to the demand for insulin results in diabetes. We previously showed that β cell-specific deletion of Zfp148 (β-Zfp148KO) improves glucose tolerance and insulin secretion in mice. Here, we performed Ca2+ imaging of islets from β‑Zfp148KO and control mice fed both a chow and a Western-style diet. β-Zfp148KO islets demonstrated improved sensitivity and sustained Ca2+ oscillations in response to elevated glucose levels. β-Zfp148KO islets also exhibited elevated sensitivity to amino acid-induced Ca2+ influx under low glucose conditions, suggesting enhanced mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent (PEP-dependent), ATP-sensitive K+ channel closure, independent of glycolysis. RNA-Seq and proteomics of β-Zfp148KO islets revealed altered levels of enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism (specifically, SLC3A2, SLC7A8, GLS, GLS2, PSPH, PHGDH, and PSAT1) and intermediary metabolism (namely, GOT1 and PCK2), consistent with altered PEP cycling. In agreement with this, β-Zfp148KO islets displayed enhanced insulin secretion in response to l-glutamine and activation of glutamate dehydrogenase. Understanding pathways controlled by ZFP148 may provide promising strategies for improving β cell function that are robust to the metabolic challenge imposed by a Western diet.

Project description:The transcription factor Zinc finger protein 148 (Zfp148) interacts physically with the tumor suppressor p53, but the siginficance of this interaction is not known. We recently showed that knockout of Zfp148 in mice leads to ectopic activation of p53 in tissues and cultured fibroblasts, suggesting that Zfp148 represses p53 activity. Here we hypothesized that targeting Zfp148 would unleash p53 activity and protect against cancer development, and test this idea in the APCMin/+ mouse model of intestinal adenomas. Crypt-enriched tissues were isolated by laser microdissection (PALM) from the small intestines (proximal) of Zfp148gt/+APCMin/+ and Zfp148+/+APCMin/+ mice for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Background: Tetraspanin-7 (Tspan7) is an islet autoantigen involved in autoimmune type 1 diabetes and known to regulate beta-cell L-type Ca2+ channel activity. However, the role of Tspan7 in pancreatic beta-cell function is not yet fully understood. Methods: Histological analyses were conducted using immunostaining. Whole-body metabolism was tested using glucose tolerance test. Islet hormone secretion was quantified using static batch incubation or dynamic perifusion. Beta-cell transmembrane currents, electrical activity and exocytosis were measured using whole-cell patch-clamping and capacitance measurements. Gene expression was studied using mRNA-sequencing and quantitative PCR. Results: Tspan7 is expressed in insulin-containing granules of pancreatic beta-cells. Tspan7-knockout mice (Tspan7 y/- mouse) exhibit reduced body weight and ad libitum plasma glucose but normal glucose tolerance. Tspan7y/- islets have normal insulin content and glucose- or tolbutamide-stimulated insulin secretion. Depolarisation-triggered Ca2+ current was enhanced in Tspan7y/- beta-cells, but beta-cell electrical activity and depolarisation-evoked exocytosis were unchanged suggesting that exocytosis was less sensitive to Ca2+. TSPAN7 knockdown (KD) in human pseudo-islets led to a significant reduction in high K+-stimulated insulin secretion. Transcriptomic analyses show that TSPAN7 KD in human pseudo-islets correlated with changes in genes involved in hormone secretion, apoptosis and ER stress. Consistent with rodent beta-cells, exocytotic Ca2+ sensitivity was reduced in a human beta cell line (EndoC-H1) following Tspan7 KD. Conclusion: Tspan7 is involved in the regulation of Ca2+-dependent exocytosis in beta-cells. Its function is more significant in human beta-cells than their rodent counterparts

Conclusion: Tspan7 is involved in the regulation of Ca2+-dependent exocytosis in beta-cells. Its function is more significant in human beta-cells than their rodent counterparts

Project description:Blood vessels play a critical role in pancreatic islet health and function, yet current culture methods to generate islet organoids from human pluripotent stem cells (SC-islets) lack a vascular component. Here, we engineered 3D vascularized SC-islet organoids by assembling SC-islet cells, human primary endothelial cells (ECs) and fibroblasts both in a non-perfused model and a microfluidic device with perfused vessels. Vasculature improved stimulus-dependent Ca2+ influx into SC-β-cells; a hallmark of β-cell function that is blunted in non-vascularized SC-islets. We show that an islet-like basement membrane is formed by vasculature and contributes to the functional improvement of SC-β-cells. Furthermore, cell-cell communication networks based on scRNA-seq data predicted BMP2/4-BMPR2 signaling from ECs to SC-β-cells. Correspondingly, BMP4 augmented the SC-β-cell Ca2+ response and insulin secretion. The here-described vascularized SC-islet models will enable further studies of crosstalk between β-cells and ECs and serve as an in vivo-mimicking platform for disease modeling and therapeutic testing.

Project description:How CD4+ lineage gene expression is initiated in differentiating thymocytes remains poorly understood. Here, we show that the paralog transcription factors Zfp281 and Zfp148 control both this process and cytokine expression by T helper cell type 2 (TH2) effector cells. Genetic, single-cell, and spatial transcriptomic analyses showed that these factors promote the intrathymic CD4+ T cell differentiation of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC II)–restricted thymocytes, including expression of the CD4+ lineage–committing factor Thpok. In peripheral T cells, Zfp281 and Zfp148 promoted chromatin opening at and expression of TH2 cytokine genes but not of the TH2 lineage–determining transcription factor Gata3. We found that Zfp281 interacts with Gata3 and is recruited to Gata3 genomic binding sites at loci encoding Thpok and TH2 cytokines. Thus, Zfp148 and Zfp281 collaborate with Gata3 to promote CD4+ T cell development and TH2 cell responses. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Project description:The transcription factor Gata3 is essential both for CD4+ T cell development in the thymus and for the differentiation of Th2 cells, which mediate responses against extracellular parasites and contribute to asthma and allergies. Here we report that the transcription factor Zfp281, in part redundantly with its paralog Zfp148, cooperates with Gata3 to promote CD4+ T cell development and Th2 cell differentiation. Disruption of both factors in T cells resulted in reduced numbers of spleen CD4+ T cells. Additionally, we show that Zfp281 interacts with Gata3, and that Zfp281 binds to Th2 cytokine loci in Th2 cells. Finally, we found that Zfp148 and Zfp281 promote Th2 cytokine expression. During airway inflammation, Zfp148/281-deficient CD4+ T cells failed to express Th2 cytokines, despite normal expression of Gata3. Altogether our data identify Zfp148 and Zfp281 as essential for enabling Gata3 functions in both CD4+ T cell development and Th2 function.
