Abstract

Pancreatic islet β-cells release insulin to maintain glucose homeostasis. β-cells must translate, package, and secrete large amounts of insulin. During this process the unfolded protein response of the endoplasmic reticulum (UPRER) is induced to maintain these functions. However, stimuli that force β-cell to secrete insulin at enhanced rates and for prolonged durations risk inducing the terminal UPRER and eventual apoptosis. In a chemical screen for insulin secretion modulators, we discovered SW016789 which caused hypersecretion of insulin and led to a transient induction of the UPRER, but not apoptosis. In contrast, SERCA2 ER Ca2+ pump inhibitor thapsigargin induces the terminal UPRER. We hypothesized that SW016789 can be used as a tool compound to discover genes involved in β-cell adaptation to hypersecretion-induced stress. We performed time course transcriptomics in MIN6 β-cells exposed to SW016789 (5 µM) or thapsigargin (100 nM) from 0-24 h. Unbiased analyses using a Dirichlet process Gaussian process (DPGP) method revealed clusters of genes temporally co-regulated and the genes within these clusters were distinct between SW016789 and thapsigargin treatments. In particular, after 6 h of SW016789-induced hypersecretion we found a highly induced cluster of genes (SW cluster 3) enriched in adaptive UPRER factors (e.g. Manf). Conversely, most of the thapsigargin-induced genes clustered at 24 h and were enriched for terminal UPRER factors (e.g. Txnip). Pathway analysis of SW cluster 3 indicated that genes involved in in regulation of mRNA methylation and ER-associated degradation were also induced by SW016789 sooner and with greater amplitude than by thapsigargin, suggesting distinct differences in the handling of protein translation and degradation. From the SW cluster 3 genes we selected proteins known to be ER-associated or secreted and generated stable transgenic or CRISPR knockout MIN6 β-cell lines for each. Our data suggest altered expression of these factors may impair glucose-stimulated insulin secretion responses and alter cell viability in presence or absence of ER stressors including cytokines, thapsigargin, and tunicamycin. In conclusion, we have successfully shown that pharmacological induction of insulin hypersecretion can induce a distinct transcriptional outcome from that of canonically-induced UPRER and that we can take advantage of this property to discover new β-cell regulatory pathways and targets. We envision this dataset as a resource for the secretory biology and islet biology communities.
