Stage specific reprogramming of mouse embryo liver cells to a beta cell-like phenotype

Abstract: We show that cultures of mouse embryo liver generate insulin-positive cells when transduced with an adenoviral vector encoding the three genes: Pdx1, Ngn3 and MafA (Ad-PNM). Only a proportion of transduced cells become insulin-positive and the highest yield occurs in the period E14-16, declining at later stages. Insulin-positive cells do not divide further although they can persist for several weeks. RT-PCR analysis of their gene expression shows the upregulation of a whole battery of genes characteristic of b… Show more

“…4b). To determine whether VE descendants attained transcriptional equivalence with DE descendants, we compared the expression of markers of the emergent endodermal organs within both populations: Nkx2–1 (thyroid/thymus) 41 , Irx1 (lung) 42 , Ppy (liver) 43 , Pdx1 (pancreas) 44 , Fabp1 (small intestine) 45 and Hoxb9 (posterior). All genes were expressed at substantial levels in both VE and DE cells, and at comparable AP positions, except for Nkx2–1 , which is expressed in the anterior-most cells of the gut tube and therefore exclusive to DE (Fig.…”

“…5b). To determine if VE cells, being of extra-embryonic origin, attained a level of equivalence to DE descendants, we compared the expression of markers of the primordial endodermal organs within the two populations: Nkx2-1 (thyroid/thymus) 61 , Irx1 (lung) 62 , Ppy (liver) 63 , Pdx1 (pancreas) 64 , Fabp1 (small intestine) 65 and Hoxb9 (posterior). With the exception of Nkx2-1, which is expressed in the anterior-most cells of the gut tube and is therefore exclusive to DE, all other genes were expressed at significant levels in both VE and DE cells, and at similar AP positions (Fig.…”

“…One TF, Pdx1, could convert 0.3% to 6% of transduced hepatocytes (which start with the same endodermal lineage) to insulin secreting cells (Ferber et al, 2000), but adding other TFs (NeuroD, Ngn3/betacellulin, Mafa, and Pax4) substantially enhanced the conversion efficiency (Berneman-Zeitouni et al, 2014; Yang et al, 2013). In contrast, pancreatic non-β-cells, like acinar cells, are closer to the β-cell lineage and more advantageous to be converted.…”
