Functional identification of islet cell types by electrophysiological fingerprinting
The α-, β- and δ-cells of the pancreatic islet exhibit different electrophysiological features. We used a large dataset of whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from cells in intact mouse islets (N = 288 recordings) to investigate whether it is possible to reliably identify cell type (α, β or δ) based on their electrophysiological characteristics. We quantified 15 electrophysiological variables in ...
متن کاملFunctional specialization of islet dendritic cell subsets.
Dendritic cells (DC) play important roles in both tolerance and immunity to β cells in type 1 diabetes. How and why DC can have diverse and opposing functions in islets remains elusive. To answer these questions, islet DC subsets and their specialized functions were characterized. Under both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions, there were two main tissue-resident DC subsets in islets, defin...
متن کاملPAX6 maintains β cell identity by repressing genes of alternative islet cell types.
Type 2 diabetes is thought to involve a compromised β cell differentiation state, but the mechanisms underlying this dysfunction remain unclear. Here, we report a key role for the TF PAX6 in the maintenance of adult β cell identity and function. PAX6 was downregulated in β cells of diabetic db/db mice and in WT mice treated with an insulin receptor antagonist, revealing metabolic control of exp...
متن کاملComparative immunocytochemistry of isolated rat & monkey pancreatic islet cell types.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Data on comparative distribution of the islet cell types in the Indian bonnet monkeys and rats are not available. The aim of the present study was to compare the arrangement of the three islet cell types in the native and in isolated rat and Indian bonnet monkey islets by immunocytochemistry. METHODS Rat islets isolated by chopped tissue collagenase digestion method an...
متن کاملAnalysis of B cell subsets following pancreatic islet cell transplantation in a patient with type 1 diabetes by cytometric fingerprinting.
Manual gating of bivariate plots remains the most frequently used data analysis method in flow cytometry. However, gating is operator-dependent and cumbersome, particularly with the increasing complexity of modern multicolor immunophenotyping data. A method that can remove operator bias, enable systematic and thorough analysis of complex high-dimensional data, correlate temporal changes in diff...
