A promising drug target for regenerating functional β-cell mass in diabetes! @WorthamLab, @msanderlab & team @UCSanDiego discover the deacetylase SIRT2 restrains proliferation of pancreatic β-cells in a glucose-dependent manner: jci.org/articles/view/187020 The image shows labeling of SIRT2 (red), insulin (green), and nuclei staining (blue) in mouse pancreatic islet sections.

Very honored to join the @ChariteBerlin faculty. I look forward to the work ahead with wonderful colleagues.
On March 1, our Scientific Director Maike Sander (@msanderlab) will take up her appointment as professor for "Pancreatic Organoid Research and Disease Modeling" at @ChariteBerlin. Dean Joachim Spranger presented her with the certificate. Congratulations! mdc-berlin.de/sander

Congratulations to @WorthamLab and the many other contributors. The study identifies Sirtuin-2 as a glucose-dependent regulator of beta cell proliferation.
I’m excited to share our discovery of a novel regulator of adaptive beta cell proliferation–the protein deacetylase SIRT2–from work in @msanderlab together with many key contributors including Bastian Ramms, Chun Zeng, Jackie Benthuysen, and @someshtweet biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We identified two distinct beta cell subtypes that exhibit an abundance shift in T2D. T2D risk variants are enriched in subtype-defining accessible chromatin. Both subtypes exhibit functional impairment in T2D, likely induced by the T2D-associated metabolic environment.

It was a pleasant surprise to see the commentary on our recent JCI paper by @powersac_TN and Kristie Aamodt who provide an apt metaphor for the regulatory layers of beta cell function jci.org/articles/view/169718. Thanks for highlighting! Original article here: jci.org/articles/view/165208

We identified a pre-β-cell population in the fetal pancreas that produces serotonin under the control of the transcription factor CDX2. This transient pre-β-cell population resembles enterochromaffin cells in stem cell islets, suggesting these are not pancreas-aberrant. 2/2

We found that feeding increases H3K27 acetylation in pancreatic islets, and that the chromatin modifying enzyme Lsd1 mediates deacetylation of these sites between meals. Experimental manipulations that prevent resetting of feeding-induced changes cause insulin hypersecretion. 2/3

Sites of LSD1 recruitment in human islets are enriched for T2D-associated variants, revealing a potential mechanism whereby genetic background influences adaptive insulin secretion. Stay tuned to @WorthamLab who will continue this exciting research. Much more to come! 3/3
