Differentiation of Uc-MSCs into insulin secreting islet-like clusters by trypsin through TGF-beta signaling pathway.
Differentiation; Research in Biological Diversity 2023 December 17
Differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (Uc-MSCs) into islet-like clusters which are capable of synthesizing and secreting insulin can potentially serve as donors for islet transplantation in the patient deficiency in islet β cell function both in type 1 or type 2 diabetic patients. Therefore, we developed an easy and higher efficacy approach by trypsinazing the Uc-MSCs and followed culture in differentiation medium to induce of Uc-MSCs differentiation into islet-like clusters, and the potential mechanism that in the early stage of differentiation was also investigated by using RNA-sequencing and bioinformatics. Results show that induction efficacy was reached to 98% and TGF-β signaling pathway may play critical role in the early stage differentiation, it was further confirmed that the retardant effect of differentiation progress either in cell morphology or in islet specific genes expression can be observed upon blocking the activation of TGF-β signaling pathway using specific inhibitor of LY2109761 (TβRI/II kinase inhibitor). Our current study, for the first time, development a protocol for differentiation of Uc-MSCs into islet-like clusters, and revealed the importance of TGF-β signaling pathway in the early stage of differentiation of Uc-MSCs into islet-like clusters. Our study will provide alternative approach for clinical treatment of either type I or type II diabtes mellitus with dysfunctional pancreatic islets.
