Transcriptomic analysis reveals altered expression of pro-endocrine genes following loss of RREB1 in human beta cells. (a) Schematic of the in vitro differentiation protocol stages: definitive endoderm (DE) cells, primitive gut tube (PGT) cells, posterior foregut (PFG) cells, pancreatic endoderm (PE) cells, endocrine progenitor (EP) cells, endocrine (EN) cells and BLCs. Growth factors and small molecules (listed underneath each stage) were added for the indicated amounts of time. (b) RREB1 expression in RREB1WT/WT (n=3) and RREB1KO/KO (n=4) hiPSC cell lines during in vitro differentiation towards BLCs. (c) The first two principal components (PC1, PC2) were calculated using normalised gene counts of RREB1KO/KO (circles; n=4) and RREB1WT/WT (squares; n=3) cell lines for all seven stages of in vitro beta cell differentiation. (d) Differential expression of endocrine cell genes in PE cells, EP cells, EN cells and BLCs. (e) Analysis of modules of co-expressed genes using WGCNA: bar plot showing module epigengene (ME) expression of the module enriched for endocrine progenitor and endocrine genes. (f) Venn diagrams of the overlap of DEGs between siRREB1 knockdown EndoC-βH1 cells, RREB1-KO EndoC-βH1 cells and hiPSC-derived RREB1KO/KO BLCs. Data are presented as means±SEM. **p<0.01 (unpaired t test).
