Description

Separation and purification method of islet cells
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of cell separation, in particular to a method for separating and purifying islet cells.
Background
The islets of langerhans are the endocrine glands of the pancreas, whose main role is to sense and regulate the blood glucose levels in the body. Islets are morphologically a large number of cell clusters of varying size and shape, with the major cell types including 5 cells, α, β, δ, PP, and e. The pancreatic islet alpha cells (about 24% -40%) secrete glucagon to promote the increase of blood sugar level in vivo, while the pancreatic islet beta cells (about 60% -80%) secrete insulin to reduce the blood sugar level in vivo; the islet delta cells (about 6-15%) secrete somatostatin, and hormone secretion of alpha cells and beta cells is influenced in a negative feedback mode to regulate blood sugar balance; pancreatic islet PP cells secrete pancreatic polypeptide, and islet epsilon cells secrete ghrelin.
Type 1 diabetes is a type of diabetes caused by islet cell destruction and absolute deficiency of insulin secretion, and requires lifelong insulin therapy. The most ideal method for treating diabetes (especially type 1 diabetes) is cell therapy, i.e. islet cells are isolated from pancreas and tested and treated accordingly. Islet cells used in cell therapy are derived from donated human or porcine pancreas and are isolated from the donor pancreas to obtain high quality living cells. However, the yield, the survival rate and the purity of the obtained pancreatic islets are low by the current pancreatic islet separating and preparing technology.

After all the cells are introduced, stopping the peristaltic pump, and idling the COBE 2991 cell separator for 4min to ensure that the density gradient surface is distributed more uniformly; and during the waiting period, preparing a purification collection bottle, adding 225mL of CMRL 1066 culture medium into the 250mL purification collection bottle, pressing a SOPER-OUT button to collect the effluent after the idle time is over, and pressing a STOP-RESET button to STOP the machine from rotating after the complete collection is finished, thus obtaining the separated and purified islet cells.
Comparative example 1 (different from example 1 in that the digestion temperature was started to be lowered when the collection condition was not achieved during the digestion treatment, i.e., the proportion of free islet cells was 40%)
Taking a proper amount of the separated and purified islet cells in the comparative example 1 as a sample for purity detection. As shown in FIG. 3, the survival rate of islet cells (PI/FDA co-staining) is 80-90%; as shown in FIG. 4, the number of islet cells was about 5000 IEQ/gram of pancreas, with a total purity (DTZ staining) of about 60%.
Comparative example 2 (different from example 1 in that the temperature of the centrifuge tank of the COBE 2991 cell separator was maintained at more than 20 ℃ during the purification process.)
Taking a proper amount of the separated and purified islet cells in the comparative example 2 as a sample for purity detection. The survival rate of islet cells (PI/FDA co-staining) is 80-90%; the number of islet cells was about 5000 IEQ/gram of pancreas, with a total purity (DTZ staining) of about 55%.
Comparative example 3 (different from example 1 in that the junction between the needle body of the perfusion needle and the pancreatic duct was ligated with an operation needle thread.)
Taking a proper amount of separated and purified islet cells in the comparative example 3 as a sample for purity detection. The survival rate of islet cells (PI/FDA co-staining) is 75-85%; the number of islet cells was about 5000 IEQ/gram of pancreas, with a total purity (DTZ staining) of about 55%.
From the results of the purity tests of islet cells of example 1 and comparative examples 1-3, it can be seen that the survival rate, quantity, and purity of islet cells obtained according to the present invention are significantly higher than those of islet cells obtained according to comparative examples 1-3. Comparative example 1 because the digestion temperature was lowered without reaching the collection conditions, the digestion was insufficient, and finally the survival rate, number and purity of islet cells were low; comparative example 2 because the temperature was higher during gradient centrifugation, the survival rate, number and purity of the final islet cells were also affected; comparative example 3 ligation at the interface between the needle body of the perfusion needle and the pancreatic duct causes the needle tube to move in the pancreatic duct, easily causes leakage, causes long perfusion time, prolongs the ischemia and anoxia time of islet cells, and has insufficient perfusion, and finally the survival rate, the number and the purity of the islet cells are low.
While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the embodiments shown and described, but is capable of numerous equivalents and substitutions without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the claims appended hereto.
