Project description:Organogenesis is a complex process that relies on a dynamic interplay between extrinsic factors originating from the microenvironment and tissue-specific intrinsic factors. For pancreatic endocrine cells, the local niche consists of acinar and ductal cells as well as neuronal, immune, endothelial, and stromal cells. Hematopoietic cells have been detected in human pancreas as early as 6 post-conception weeks, but whether they play a role during human endocrinogenesis remains unknown. To investigate this, we performed single nuclei RNA sequencing of the second trimester human pancreas and identified a wide range of hematopoietic cells, including two distinct subsets of tissue-resident macrophages. Leveraging this discovery, we developed a co-culture system of human embryonic stem cell-derived endocrine-macrophage organoids to model their interaction in vitro. Here, we show that macrophages support the differentiation and viability of endocrine cells in vitro and enhance tissue engraftment, highlighting their potential role in tissue engineering strategies for diabetes.

Project description:Tankyrase inhibition promotes endocrine commitment of hPSC-derived pancreatic progenitors
| PRJNA1113331 | ENA
Project description:To improve β-like cell differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), we aimed to substitute a mechanistically elusive compound – nicotinamide (NA), which promotes pancreatic progenitor (PP) commitment, with a pathway-specific compound. By performing a low-throughput chemical screening, we demonstrated that tankyrase inhibitors (TNKSi) can replace NA and efficiently generate PPs. Surprisingly, highly selective TNKSi, such as WIKI4, generate PPs that give rise to islet-like populations with improved β-like cell frequencies and glucose responsiveness compared to NA-derived PPs. Characterization of differentially expressed genes (DEG) between WIKI4 and NA treatment revealed that WIKI4-derived PPs expressed higher levels of genes associated with integrin signalling and actin cytoskeleton pathways. Our findings show that compared to NA, WIKI4 treatment promotes changes in cell shape and motility. Together, our results provide novel insights into pancreatic differentiation and a model that better recapitulates native events associated with pancreas and endocrine commitment.

Project description:NEUROD1 is a transcription factor that helps maintain a mature phenotype of pancreatic β cells. Disruption of Neurod1 during pancreatic development causes severe neonatal diabetes; however, the exact role of NEUROD1 in the differentiation programs of endocrine cells is unknown. Here, we report a crucial role of the NEUROD1 regulatory network in endocrine lineage commitment and differentiation. Mechanistically, transcriptome and chromatin landscape analyses demonstrate that Neurod1 inactivation triggers a downregulation of endocrine differentiation transcription factors and upregulation of non-endocrine genes within the Neurod1-deficient endocrine cell population, disturbing endocrine identity acquisition. Neurod1 deficiency altered the H3K27me3 histone modification pattern in promoter regions of differentially expressed genes, which resulted in gene regulatory network changes in the differentiation pathway of endocrine cells, compromising endocrine cell potential, differentiation, and functional properties.

Project description:Pancreatic endocrine lineages are derived from pancreatic progenitors that undergo a cell fate transition requiring a switch from low to high Ngn3 expression. However, the underlying chromatin regulatory mechanisms are unclear. Here, we performed epigenomic analysis of gene regulatory loci featuring histone marks in cells with low or high level of Ngn3 expression. In combination with transcriptomic analysis, we discovered that in Ngn3-high cells, the removal of H3K27me3 was associated with the activation of key transcription factors and the establishment of primed and active enhancers. Deletion of Jmjd3, a histone demethylase for H3K27me3, at the pancreatic progenitor stage impaired the efficiency of endocrine cell fate transition and thereafter islet formation. Curiously, single-cell RNA-seq revealed that the transcriptome and developmental pathway of Ngn3-high cells were not affected by the deletion of Jmjd3. Our study indicates sequential chromatin events and identifies a crucial role for Jmjd3 in regulating the efficiency of the transition from Ngn3-low to Ngn3-high cells.

Project description:During embryonic development, islet progenitors are specified from pancreatic duct cells by transient expression of Neurog3, a transcription factor necessary and sufficient for initiation of islet development. To understand the dynamics of Neurog3-dependent endocrine cell fate determination, in this study we used ATAC-Seq to identify accessible genomic regions of purified duct, endocrine progenitor, and endocrine cells isolated from mice with varying Neurog3 dosage

Project description:This experiment used RNA-Seq technology to explore gene expression in mouse Ngn3^GFP/+ [het] FACS sorted pancreatic cells at E15.5 (commited endocrine progenitor cells) and in Ngn3^GFP/GFP [null] at E15.5 (defective endocrine progenitor cells). This experiment is designed to understand the gene expression alteration in the endocrine lineage at different embryonic days. The aim is to understand both Ngn3 dependent and independent gene expression profiles so as to reveal the instructive signals that specfy the collective endocrine islet cell fate or specific islet cell type.

Project description:The pancreatic islet contains multiple hormone+ endocrine lineages (alpha, beta, delta, PP and epsilon cells), but the developmental processes that underlie endocrinogenesis are poorly understood. Here, we generated novel mouse lines and combined them with various genetic tools to enrich all types of hormone+ cells for well-based deep single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), and gene coexpression networks were extracted from the generated data for the optimization of high-throughput droplet-based scRNA-seq analyses. These analyses defined an entire endocrinogenesis pathway in which different states of endocrine progenitor (EP) cells sequentially differentiate into specific endocrine lineages in mice. Subpopulations of the EP cells at the final stage (EP4-early and EP4-late) show different potentials for distinct endocrine lineages. epsilon cells and an intermediate cell population were identified as distinct progenitors that independently generate both alpha and PP cells. Single-cell analyses were also performed to delineate the human pancreatic endocrinogenesis process. Although the developmental trajectory of pancreatic lineages is generally conserved between humans and mice, clear interspecies differences, including differences in the proportions of cell types and the regulatory networks associated with the differentiation of specific lineages, have been detected. Our findings support a model in which sequential transient progenitor cell states determine the differentiation of multiple cell lineages and provide a blueprint for directing the generation of pancreatic islets in vitro.

Project description:Endoderm cells undergo a sequence of fate choices to generate insulin-secreting M-NM-2 cells. Studies of chromatin transitions during this process have been limited to the pancreatic progenitor stage that can be reconstituted from stem cells in vitro, with a gap in understanding the induction of endocrine cells. To address this, we established conditions for isolating endoderm cells, pancreatic progenitors, and endocrine cells from different staged embryos and performed genome wide analysis of the H3K27me3 mark of the repressive Polycomb complex. During the transition from endoderm to pancreas progenitors and during the transition from pancreas progenitors to endocrine cells, genes that lose the H3K27me3 mark typically encode transcriptional regulators, whereas genes that acquire the mark typically are involved in cell biology morphogenesis. Precocious depletion of the EZH2, a H3K27 methylase, at the pancreas progenitor stage enhanced the production of endocrine cells, leading to a later increase in pancreatic beta cells. Similarly, pharmacologic inhibition of EZH2 in embryonic pancreatic tissue explants and human embryonic stem cell cultures led to an increase in endocrine progenitors in vitro. These findings reveal a repeating target gene pattern in H3K27me3 dynamics and provide a means to modulate M-NM-2 cell development from stem cells. Analyzed five FACS-sorted tissues in early mouse embryo; for each tissue we sequenced H3K27me3 and input; no replicates
