    This study created a unified single-cell map of human pancreatic islets from diverse sources. This comprehensive atlas aids in understanding diabetes by integrating data from 140 donors and over 448,000 cells.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology and Metabolism
    • Genomics and Bioinformatics
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is crucial for studying pancreatic islet cells and Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
    • Existing scRNA-seq datasets are fragmented, limiting comprehensive analysis.
    • A unified atlas is needed to integrate diverse pancreatic islet data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To construct a comprehensive, integrated scRNA-seq map of human pancreatic islets.
    • To collate and harmonize data from multiple public sources.
    • To create a resource for diabetes research.

    Main Methods:

    • Collected publicly available scRNA-seq datasets from human pancreatic islets.
    • Implemented systematic quality controls for samples, reads, and cells.

  • Integrated data, accounting for variables like age, sex, BMI, origin, treatments, and sequencing chemistry.

    • Main Results:

    • Generated a single-cell atlas of human pancreatic islets from 191 assays and 140 donors.
    • The atlas includes 448,935 cells across five phenotypic groups, including Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes.
    • Captured major endocrine (alpha, beta) and non-endocrine (endothelial, immune) cell populations.

    Conclusions:

    • Developed a comprehensive, harmonized single-cell atlas of human pancreatic islets.
    • The atlas is publicly available at www.pankbase.org for hypothesis-driven research.
    • The resource is suitable for downstream machine-learning applications due to rigorous quality control and metadata curation.
