The mechanisms underlying the effects of exocrine dysfunction on the development of diabetes remain largely unknown. Here we show that pancreatic depletion of SMAD7 resulted in age-dependent increases in cell dysfunction with accelerated glucose intolerance, followed by overt diabetes. The accelerated cell dysfunction and loss of proliferation capacity, two features of cell aging, appeared to be non-cell-autonomous, secondary to the adjacent exocrine failure as a bystander effect. Increased Forkhead box protein 1 (FoxO1) acetylation and nuclear retention was followed by progressive FoxO1 loss in cells that marked the onset of diabetes. Moreover, forced FoxO1 expression in cells prevented cell dysfunction and loss in this model. Thus, we present a model of accelerated cell aging that may be useful for studying the mechanisms underlying cell failure in diabetes. Moreover, we provide evidence highlighting a critical role of FoxO1 in maintaining cell identity in the context of SMAD7 failure.
