Description

Method for producing islet beta cells in vitro by utilizing BMP7 factor, obtained islet beta cells and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to a method for producing islet beta cells in vitro by utilizing BMP7 factor, the obtained islet beta cells and application.
Background
Cell replacement therapy can maintain a healthy life for diabetic patients with beta cell destruction. However, the lack of a pancreatic donor has made islet transplantation a dilemma in the treatment of diabetes, and some evidence suggests that progenitor cells capable of differentiating into insulin-secreting cells exist in adult pancreatic ducts. However, for patients in need of cell transplantation, immune rejection of donor tissue and xenogeneic cells still needs to be overcome.
Recent studies have shown that progenitor cells removed from the patient's own bile duct by microsurgery can be expanded to support organoids and that biliary tract diseases can be cured after implantation through the bile duct or hepatic portal vein. These findings emphasize a pathway for repairing damaged gastrointestinal organs using the patient's own progenitor cells. The challenge with using ductal progenitor cells is that the efficiency of beta cell differentiation is quite low both in vivo and in vitro. A recent report by hund M showed that only 1% of insulin positive cells were derived from organoids grown from epcam+tsq-pancreatic ductal progenitors. Over the past few decades, a variety of cytokines and signal inhibitors have been explored to increase beta cell differentiation, including nicotinamide, noggin, retinoic acid, and Exendin 4 have been shown to increase insulin expression in ES or iPS-derived pancreatic progenitor cells, whereas these molecules promote beta cell differentiation only after conversion of ductal cells into endocrine cells.
Chemical methods have proven to be useful tools for promoting committed differentiation of stem/progenitor cells. In particular, in the field of embryonic stem cells, chemical small molecules have become a powerful strategy for inducing ES or iPS cells to differentiate hepatocytes efficiently. In addition to those known activators and inhibitors of pancreatic developmental cell signaling pathways, there is still a lack of clear chemical molecules to modulate unknown pathways that enhance beta cell differentiation.

the beneficial effects are that: progenitor cell populations with long-term organogenesis ability were identified from mouse bile ducts (intrahepatic and extrahepatic) and pancreatic ducts and demonstrated similar self-renewal and multipotent potential. BMP7 is a potent cytokine that converts the ductal progenitor cells into a pluripotent state and enhances the secretory differentiation inwards. By screening chemical molecules, TLY142 was found to greatly increase the efficiency of differentiation of mBDO into insulin-secreting cells based on BMP7 starting conditions. Human bile duct progenitor cells have long-term organogenesis and pluripotency, TLY142 enhances the differentiation of hBDO to insulin secreting cells by more than 20%, and transplantation of differentiated mBDO and hBDO in vivo can be effective in stimulating glucose and curing hyperglycemia in diabetic mice.
The results of the present invention extend the use of bile duct epithelial cells as a potential source of beta cells in diabetes cell replacement therapies. Progenitor cells isolated from autologous bile ducts have been shown to form organoids and to be able to repair damaged bile ducts by feedback transplantation. The bile duct progenitor cells can be isolated from bile duct epithelial cells using markers, and these epithelial cells are more readily obtained from autologous bile ducts as well as donated bile ducts by microsurgery.
The differentiated biliary organoids have similar endocrine cell lineages to the pancreatic ductal organoids, particularly insulin secreting cells (fig. 4C and 4D). Transplantation of differentiated human BDO effectively heals diabetes in model mice, demonstrating that biliary progenitor cell-derived organoids are a reliable source of cell transplantation.
The high proportion of beta cells differentiated from catheter organoids that deal with glucose changes provides a viable source of beta cells for cell transplantation therapy for diabetes. BMP7 and the chemical small molecule TLY142 are critical to enhance organoid differentiation into beta cells. Supplementing BMP7 is important for organoid conversion to ngn3+ endocrine progenitor state, consistent with previous reports that BMP7 significantly increased expression of Ngn 3. Thus, after BMP7 withdrawal we defined a DM9 medium that significantly increased the proportion of insulin secreting cells to 7% of total cells, higher than the control group without BMP7 added (1%).
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 following kidney subcapsular transplantation.
In summary, epithelial cells in pancreatic or bile ducts are of multiple differentiation potential and can form long-term cultured organoids in vitro. They can be used to treat diabetes by differentiating into a high proportion of functional beta cells by a defined medium, acting as replacement islets to reduce blood glucose.

Example 1 method for preparing epithelial cells
1. Bile duct (mBD) and pancreatic duct (mPD) of mice:
after the mice are killed by the cervical dislocation method, the mice are soaked in a beaker with 75% alcohol, and the beaker is quickly placed into a sterilized biosafety cabinet after the surface of the beaker is sterilized by alcohol cotton. The mice were sterilized by soaking for about 5min. Taking out the mice, draining the liquid, placing on a sterile anatomical frame, sequentially cutting off fur and peritoneum along the center line of the abdomen, and exposing the abdominal cavity. The celiac-opened mice were placed under an anatomic scope, the liver, pancreas, and common bile duct (extrahepatic bile duct) connecting the two were found, taken together, and placed in a 10cm dish containing sterile PBS. The method is characterized in that the intrahepatic bile duct and the pancreatic duct are directly peeled off along the common bile duct under a microscope by using clock forceps, the main duct of the pancreas is mainly positioned at the head part of the pancreas, and the head part is the widest part of the pancreas, takes the shape of a disc and is positioned at the concave part of the duodenum. When the pancreas head is also connected with the duodenum, the pancreas head is gently resected, so that the pancreas main duct can be better separated in the later period. For ease of observation, the connection of the biliary-pancreatic duct was maintained until the dissection was completed, and the bile duct (mBD, extrahepatic duct and intrahepatic duct) and pancreatic duct (mouse pancreatic duct, mPD) were separated again after the dissection was completed using a scalpel. The bile duct and pancreatic duct were placed in separate 15mL centrifuge tubes, respectively, and 2mg/mL collagenase IV was digested at 37℃for 15min to separate the remaining tissue around the duct, shaking the centrifuge tubes vigorously every 5min. The digested hepatobiliary and pancreatic ducts were replaced in a 10cm dish containing sterile PBS. The tissue remaining around the catheter was stripped off using a dissecting scope, and PBS flushed to ensure removal of excess tissue. Placing the hepatobiliary pancreatic duct into different sterile 1.5mL centrifuge tubes, cutting the hepatobiliary pancreatic duct into pieces as much as possible with dissecting scissors, adding 1mL of 2mg/mL collagenase IV, digesting at 37deg.C for 20min, taking out every 5min, and repeatedly blowing with 1mL gun head. After passing the digested catheter cells through a 70 μm screen, the cells were centrifuged horizontally at 300g for 5min. The precipitate is the epithelial cells.
2. Bile duct of person (mBD)
Human bile duct (hBD) samples of human bile ducts (intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts) were taken in 10cm petri dishes containing sterile PBS, the catheter was longitudinally sheared with dissecting scissors, and the catheter was deployed in a square with dissecting forceps. One hand holds the deployed catheter with dissecting forceps (note holding the inside of the catheter-the epithelial cell side up) and the other hand scrapes the catheter surface with a sterile glass slide. The side of the slide in contact with the catheter and the catheter after handling was rinsed with sterile PBS and the rinse was directly retained in a 10cm dish. Collecting PBS containing human common bile duct epithelial cells in a 10cm culture dish, centrifuging 300g for 5min, and collecting precipitate. The precipitate is the epithelial cells.
Example 2 method of preparing organoids
The obtained human/mouse epithelial cells were resuspended in 50. Mu.L Matrigel (Corning, 54234), and then dropped into a 24-well plate and allowed to stand at 37℃for 5 minutes to coagulate Matrigel. mu.L of mouse proliferation medium (mouse expansion medium, mEM) or human proliferation medium (human expansion medium, hEM) was added to each well for cultivation.
The prepared human biliary organoids (human bile duct organoid, hdpo), mouse biliary organoids (mouse bile duct organoid, mbpo) and mouse pancreatic organoids (mouse pancreatic duct organoid, mppo) can all be serially subcultured for more than 10 passages (fig. 1). Immunostaining results showed that each of the prepared hdpo, mBDO and mPDO expressed biliary/pancreatic progenitor marker gene (Sox 9, PDX 1), hepatobiliary progenitor marker gene (HNF 1B, HNF a), multipotent stem cell marker gene (EpCAM) and epithelial specific gene (E-cadheren) (results are shown in fig. 2 and 3), demonstrating that hdpo, mBDO and mPDO are progenitor cells with similar differentiation potential, and that the antibodies used are shown in table 1.
