Abstract Newly differentiated pancreatic ß cells lack proper insulin secretion profiles
of mature functional ß cells. The global gene expression differences between
paired immature and mature ß cells have been studied, but the dynamics of
transcriptional events, correlating with temporal development of
glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), remain to be fully defined. This
aspect is important to identify which genes and pathways are necessary for
ß-cell development or for maturation, as defective insulin secretion is linked
with diseases such as diabetes. In this study, we assayed through RNA sequencing
the global gene expression across six ß-cell developmental stages in mice,
spanning from ß-cell progenitor to mature ß cells. A computational pipeline then
selected genes differentially expressed with respect to progenitors and
clustered them into groups with distinct temporal patterns associated with
biological functions and pathways. These patterns were finally correlated with
experimental GSIS, calcium influx, and insulin granule formation data. Gene
expression temporal profiling revealed the timing of important biological
processes across ß-cell maturation, such as the deregulation of ß-cell
developmental pathways and the activation of molecular machineries for vesicle
biosynthesis and transport, signal transduction of transmembrane receptors, and
glucose-induced Ca2+ influx, which were established over a week before ß-cell
maturation completes. In particular, ß cells developed robust insulin secretion
at high glucose several days after birth, coincident with the establishment of
glucose-induced calcium influx. Yet the neonatal ß cells displayed high basal
insulin secretion, which decreased to the low levels found in mature ß cells
only a week later. Different genes associated with calcium-mediated processes,
whose alterations are linked with insulin resistance and deregulation of glucose
homeostasis, showed increased expression across ß-cell stages, in accordance
with the temporal acquisition of proper GSIS. Our temporal gene expression
pattern analysis provided a comprehensive database of the underlying molecular
components and biological mechanisms driving ß-cell maturation at different
temporal stages, which are fundamental for better control of the in vitro
production of functional ß cells from human embryonic stem/induced pluripotent
cell for transplantation-based type 1 diabetes therapy.
