Role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 in regulating human islet cell differentiation

Abstract Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1), a fundamental DNA repair enzyme, is known to regulate β cell death, replication, and insulin secretion. PARP1 knockout (KO) mice are resistant to diabetes, while PARP1 overactivation contributes to β cell death. Additionally, PARP1 inhibition (PARPi) i...

description Abstract Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1), a fundamental DNA repair enzyme, is known to regulate β cell death, replication, and insulin secretion. PARP1 knockout (KO) mice are resistant to diabetes, while PARP1 overactivation contributes to β cell death. Additionally, PARP1 inhibition (PARPi) improves diabetes complications in patients with type-2 diabetes. Despite these beneficial effects, the use of PARP1 modulating agents in diabetes treatment is largely neglected, primarily due to the poorly studied mechanistic action of PARP1 catalytic function in human β cell development. In the present study, we evaluated PARP1 regulatory action in human β cell differentiation using the human pancreatic progenitor cell line, PANC-1. We surveyed islet census and histology from PARP1 wild-type versus KO mice pancreas in a head-to-head comparison with PARP1 regulatory action for in-vitro β cell differentiation following either PARP1 depletion or its pharmacological inhibition in PANC-1-differentiated islet cells. shRNA mediated PARP1 depleted (SiP) and shRNA control (U6) PANC-1 cells were differentiated into islet-like clusters using established protocols. We observed complete abrogation of new β cell formation with absolute PARP1 depletion while its inhibition using the potent inhibitor, PJ34, promoted the endocrine β cell differentiation and maturation. Immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting for key endocrine differentiation players along with β cell maturation markers highlighted the potential regulatory action of PARP1 and augmented β cell differentiation due to direct interaction of unmodified PARP1 protein elicited p38 MAPK phosphorylation and Neurogenin-3 (Ngn3) re-activation. In summary, our study suggests that PARP1 is required for the proper development and differentiation of human islets. Selective inhibition with PARPi can be an advantage in pushing more insulin-producing cells under pathological conditions and delivers a potential for pilot clinical testing for β cell replacement cell therapies for diabetes.
