PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT In type 2 diabetes (T2D), amyloid deposits composed of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) are found within pancreatic islets. T2D islets also have impaired insulin secretion from β cells, dysregulated glucagon secretion from α cells, increased inflammation, and alterations in vasculature. Among multiple potential mechanisms linking amyloid deposition and islet dysfunction, the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) was recently shown to bind IAPP oligomers and mediate β cell toxicity in vitro, which results were also supported using a transgenic rodent model. But in vitro cell culture models, while valuable, do not fully replicate the complex environmental, intercellular, or temporal changes in living organisms. Furthermore, human and rodent islets differ in function, structure, cellular composition, and gene expression. Thus, to fully understand the pathogenesis of human disease, one must study these processes in human cells and tissues in the in vivo context. Such studies have been limited by the inability to obtain and manipulate these relatively inaccessible human tissues and by the lack of in vivo models in which to study them longitudinally. It therefore remains unknown if endogenously secreted IAPP oligomers act on the RAGE receptor in primary human β cells, if such signaling occurs in α cells, and what effect IAPP-RAGE signaling in specific cell types has on islet function. I hypothesize that IAPP oligomer-induced activation of RAGE receptors on β and α cells impairs human islet function and health in vitro and in vivo. To test my hypothesis using human islets, I will employ four novel techniques and reagents. 1) Our recently reported pseudoislet method will enable efficient genetic manipulation of specific islet cell types prior to reaggregation into functional cell clusters. 2) New intravital imaging techniques will allow longitudinal monitoring of amyloid formation in human pseudoislets transplanted into the mouse anterior chamber of the eye. 3) Transplantation of pseudoislets into a recently developed glucagon knockout mouse will permit accurate measurement of human glucagon secretion in vivo. 4) Application of single nuclear RNA sequencing approaches will permit assessment of transcriptional effects on specific cell types in transplanted pseudoislets. In Aim 1, I will test the hypothesis that RAGE mediates IAPP oligomer-induced β cell dysfunction in human islets in vitro and in vivo. In Aim 2, I will test the hypothesis that IAPP-RAGE signaling in ⍺ cells causes dysregulated glucagon secretion in human islets in vitro and in vivo. Completion of these aims will elucidate key mechanisms responsible for pathogenesis of T2D, opening avenues for study into new preventive and therapeutic approaches. I will benefit from the outstanding environment, collaboration, and mentorship at the Vanderbilt Diabetes Research and Training Center as I transition to independence as a physician-scientist.

项目总结/摘要 在2型糖尿病（T2D）中，在胰岛内发现由胰岛淀粉样多肽（IAPP）组成的淀粉样沉积物。 胰岛T2D胰岛还具有β细胞的胰岛素分泌受损，胰高血糖素分泌失调， α细胞，炎症增加和脉管系统改变。在多种潜在机制中， 将淀粉样蛋白沉积和胰岛功能障碍联系起来，晚期糖基化终末产物受体（receptor for advanced glycation endproducts， 最近显示结合IAPP寡聚体并介导体外β细胞毒性，该结果也得到了支持 使用转基因啮齿动物模型。但是，体外细胞培养模型虽然有价值，但不能完全复制 生物体内复杂的环境、细胞间或时间变化。此外，人类和啮齿动物 胰岛在功能、结构、细胞组成和基因表达方面不同。因此，要充分理解 人类疾病的发病机制，必须研究这些过程中的人体细胞和组织中的信息， 体内环境。这些研究受到无法获得和操作这些相对 难以接近的人体组织，以及缺乏纵向研究它们的体内模型。因此 内源性分泌的IAPP寡聚体是否作用于原代人β-CD受体仍然未知。 细胞，如果这种信号发生在α细胞中，以及特定细胞类型中的IAPP-β信号对胰岛细胞的影响 功能我推测，IAPP寡聚体诱导的β和α细胞上α受体的激活损害了 人体胰岛功能和健康研究。为了用人类胰岛来验证我的假设，我将使用 四种新技术和试剂。1)我们最近报道的假胰岛方法将使有效的遗传 在重新聚集成功能性细胞簇之前操作特定的胰岛细胞类型。2)新的活体内 成像技术将允许在移植的人假胰岛中纵向监测淀粉样蛋白的形成 注入小鼠眼前房。3)将假胰岛移植到最近开发的 胰高血糖素敲除小鼠将允许在体内准确测量人胰高血糖素分泌。四、 单核RNA测序方法的应用将允许评估转录效应， 移植假胰岛中的特定细胞类型。在目标1中，我将检验IAPP介导的假设 体外和体内人胰岛中寡聚体诱导的β细胞功能障碍。在目标2中，我将检验以下假设： 胰岛细胞中的IAPP-β信号传导导致体外和体内人胰岛中胰高血糖素分泌失调。 这些目标的完成将阐明T2D发病机制的关键机制， 研究新的预防和治疗方法的途径。我将受益于杰出的 环境、协作和指导在范德比尔特糖尿病研究和培训中心， 作为一名科学家和物理学家的独立性。
