The role of 5-HT in maintaining glucose homeostasis during metabolic stress and inhibiting glucagon secretion is well documented, however, its effect on α cell identity remained unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that 5-HT suppressed the expression of α cell markers, such as Arx and Gcg, while enhancing the expression of β cell markers in mouse pancreatic α cell lines. We further found that treatment with 5-HT significantly increased the percentage of Gcg+Ins+ and Gcg+Nkx6.1+ cells in isolated human and mouse islets. Using pancreatic α cell lineage-tracing Gcgcre+; tdTomato/tdTomato mice, we observed that 5-HT treatment significantly reduced random blood glucose levels and increased tdTomato+Ins+, Gcg+Ins+ and Gcg+Nkx6.1+ cells in a high fat diet and streptozotocin (HFD + STZ) induced diabetes model. Additionally, in situ detection of 5-HT production in the human pancreas revealed a reduction of 5-HT expression in β cells of human T2D patients. These findings suggest that 5-HT treatment induces the transdifferentiation of α to β cells, potentially contributing to the recovery of β cell mass in T2D.
期刊介绍:
BBA Molecular Cell Research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of cellular processes at the molecular level. These include aspects of cellular signaling, signal transduction, cell cycle, apoptosis, intracellular trafficking, secretory and endocytic pathways, biogenesis of cell organelles, cytoskeletal structures, cellular interactions, cell/tissue differentiation and cellular enzymology. Also included are studies at the interface between Cell Biology and Biophysics which apply for example novel imaging methods for characterizing cellular processes.
