Description

Method for producing pancreatic islet beta cells in vitro by using BMP7 factor, obtained pancreatic islet beta cells and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to a method for producing pancreatic beta cells in vitro by using BMP7 factor, the obtained pancreatic beta cells and application.
Background
Cell replacement therapy can maintain a healthy life for diabetic patients with damaged beta cells. However, the lack of pancreatic donors has made islet transplantation into a dilemma in the treatment of diabetes, and some evidence suggests that progenitor cells capable of differentiating into insulin-secreting cells are present in adult pancreatic ducts. However, for patients requiring cell transplantation, immune rejection in the absence of donor tissue and xenogeneic cells still needs to be overcome.
Recent studies have shown that progenitor cells removed from a patient's own bile duct by microsurgery can be expanded to culture organoids and cure biliary disease after bile duct or hepatic portal vein transplantation. These findings highlight a pathway for the repair of damaged gastrointestinal organs using the patient's own progenitor cells. The problem with using catheter progenitor cells is that the efficiency of beta cell differentiation in vivo and in vitro is rather low. A recent report by Hush M showed that only 1% of insulin positive cells were derived from the organoid where Epcam + TSQ-pancreatic ductal progenitor cells grew. Over the past decades, a variety of cytokines and signaling inhibitors have been explored to increase beta cell differentiation, including nicotinamide, noggin, retinoic acid, and Exendin 4, which have been shown to increase insulin expression in ES or iPS derived pancreatic progenitor cells, whereas these molecules promote beta cell differentiation only after ductal cell conversion to endocrine cells.
Chemical methods have proven to be useful tools to promote directed differentiation of stem/progenitor cells. Particularly in the field of embryonic stem cells, small chemical molecules have become a powerful strategy for inducing ES or iPS cells to efficiently differentiate hepatocytes. In addition to those known activators and inhibitors of pancreatic developmental cell signaling pathways, there is still a lack of defined chemical molecules to regulate unknown pathways that enhance beta cell differentiation.

has the advantages that: progenitor cell populations with long-term organoid-forming ability were identified from mouse bile ducts (intrahepatic and extrahepatic) and pancreatic ducts and demonstrated similar self-renewal and multi-differentiation potential. BMP7 is a potent cytokine that converts ductal progenitor cells to a pluripotent state and enhances endocrine differentiation. By screening chemical molecules, TLY142 was found to greatly improve the efficiency of differentiation of mBDO into insulin-secreting cells based on the BMP7 initiation conditions. The human bile duct progenitor cells have long-term organoid forming capability and pluripotency, TLY142 enhances the differentiation of hBDO into insulin-secreting cells by more than 20%, and the transplantation of differentiated mBDO and hBDO in vivo can effectively deal with the glucose stimulation and cure the hyperglycemia of diabetic mice.
The results of the present invention expand the utility of biliary epithelial cells as a potential source of beta cells in diabetic cell replacement therapy. Progenitor cells isolated from autologous bile ducts have been shown to form organoids and enable repair of damaged bile ducts by feedback transplantation. Markers can be used to isolate bile duct progenitor cells from bile duct epithelial cells, which are more readily obtained from autologous bile ducts and donated bile ducts by microsurgery.
The differentiated bile duct organoids have similar endocrine cell lineages to pancreatic ductal organoids, especially insulin secreting cells (fig. 4C and 4D). Transplantation of differentiated human BDO effectively cured model mice for diabetes, demonstrating that biliary progenitor cell-derived organoids are a reliable source of cell transplantation.
The high proportion of glucose-altering-responsive beta cells differentiated from the ductal organoids provides a viable source of beta cells for cell transplantation therapy in diabetes. BMP7 and the chemical small molecule TLY142 are important for enhancing organoid differentiation into beta cells. Supplementation with BMP7 was important for organoid transformation to the Ngn3+ endocrine progenitor state, which is consistent with previous reports that BMP7 significantly increased expression of Ngn 3. Thus, after BMP7 was withdrawn, we defined a DM9 medium that significantly increased the proportion of insulin secreting cells to 7% of total cells over the control (1%) without BMP 7.
The present invention has found a chemical molecule named TLY142 that significantly increases beta cell differentiation from 7% to over 20%. In addition, differentiated insulin-secreting cells can respond to glucose stimulation in vitro and in vivo. An increase in the percentage of insulin secreting cells from mouse or human BDO ensures a hypoglycemic effect after renal subconjunctival transplantation.
In summary, epithelial cells in the pancreatic or bile duct are organoids with multiple differentiation potential that can be formed in vitro for long-term culture. They can treat diabetes by differentiating defined media into high proportion of functional beta cells, acting as sugar-lowering agents to replace islets.

The mice were soaked and sterilized for about 5 min. The mice were taken out, drained and placed on a sterile dissecting frame, and the skin and peritoneum were sequentially cut along the midline of the abdomen, exposing the abdominal cavity. The mice with the abdominal cavity opened were placed under a dissecting scope to find the liver, pancreas and common bile duct connecting the two (extrahepatic bile duct), and the three were removed together and placed in a 10cm dish containing sterile PBS. Utilize clock and watch tweezers, follow the duct that the common bile duct of bile duct and pancreas in the liver directly peeled off under the microscope, the main duct of pancreas is mainly located pancreas head position, and the head is the widest part of pancreas, is discoid, is located the depressed part of duodenum. When the pancreas head is connected with the duodenum, the pancreas head is cut off gently, so that the pancreas main catheter can be separated better in the later period. For easy observation, the bile duct(s) (mouse bile duct, mBD, extra-hepatic duct and intra-hepatic duct) and pancreatic duct(s) (mPD) were separated using a scalpel after dissection was completed, while maintaining the connection of the chole-pancreatic ducts before dissection was completed. The bile duct and pancreatic duct were placed in separate 15mL centrifuge tubes, respectively, and digested with 2mg/mL collagenase IV37 deg.C for 15min to separate the tissue remaining around the duct, and the centrifuge tubes were shaken vigorously every 5 min. The digested hepatobiliary and pancreatic ducts were replaced in 10cm dishes containing sterile PBS. The tissue remaining around the catheter was dissected using a dissecting scope and rinsed with PBS to ensure removal of excess tissue. Placing the biliopancreatic duct in different sterile 1.5mL centrifuge tubes, respectively cutting the biliopancreatic duct as much as possible with dissecting scissors, adding 1mL of collagenase IV of 2mg/mL, digesting at 37 deg.C for 20min, taking out every 5min, and repeatedly blowing with a 1mL gun head. After passing through a 70 μm sieve, the digested duct cells were centrifuged horizontally for 5min at 300 g. The sediment is the epithelial cells.

One hand holds the deployed catheter with dissecting forceps (taking care to keep the inside of the catheter-epithelial cell side up) and the other hand scrapes the catheter surface with a sterile slide. The catheter was rinsed on the side of the slide that contacted the catheter and after the procedure with sterile PBS, and the rinse was directly retained in a 10cm petri dish. Collecting PBS containing human common bile duct epithelial cells in a 10cm culture dish, centrifuging for 5min at 300g, and collecting the precipitate. The precipitate is the epithelial cells.
