Abstrakt: Lack of understanding of the pathophysiology of gastrointestinal (GI) complications in type 1 diabetes (T1D), including altered intestinal transcriptomes and protein expression represents a major gap in the management of these patients. Human enteroids have emerged as a physiologically relevant model of the intestinal epithelium but establishing enteroids from individuals with long-standing T1D has proven difficult. We successfully established duodenal enteroids using endoscopic biopsies from pediatric T1D patients and compared them with aged-matched enteroids from healthy subjects (HS) using bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and functional analyses of ion transport processes. RNA-seq analysis showed significant differences in genes and pathways associated with cell differentiation and proliferation, cell fate commitment, and brush border membrane. Further validation of these results showed higher expression of enteroendocrine cells, and the proliferating cell marker Ki-67, significantly lower expression of NHE3, lower epithelial barrier integrity, and higher fluid secretion in response to cAMP and elevated calcium in T1D enteroids. Enteroids established from pediatric T1D duodenum identify characteristics of an abnormal intestinal epithelium and are distinct from HS. Our data supports the use of pediatric enteroids as an ex-vivo model to advance studies of GI complications and drug discovery in T1D patients.
