Heterogeneous enhancer states orchestrate β cell responses to metabolic stress

Abstract excerpt

Obesity-induced β cell dysfunction contributes to the onset of type 2 diabetes. Nevertheless, elucidating epigenetic mechanisms underlying islet dysfunction at single cell level remains challenging. Here we profile single-nuclei RNA along with enhancer marks H3K4me1 or H3K27ac in islets from lean or obese mice. Our study identifies distinct gene signatures and enhancer states correlating with β cell dysfunction...
