Definitions

  • Adequate numbers of isogeneic islets transplanted into a reliable implantation site can only reverse the metabolic abnormalities m diabetic recipients m the shor term. In those that were normoglycemic post -transplant , hyperglycemia recurred within 3-12 months. The return of the diabetic state that occurs with time has been attributed either to the ectopic location of the islets, to a disruption of the enteromsular axis, or to the transplantation of an inadequate islet cell mass.
  • pancreatic fragments may actually have an inherent survival advantage compared to purified islets.
  • insulin-independence has been obtained after mtraportal injection of unpurified autologous islets. Fewer impure islets were more successful than many more purified ones.
  • a similar experience was repeated with allotransplants, with unpurified islets from a single human pancreas successfully reversing hyperglycemia (Gores PF et al . , Lancet, 1993, 341:19). From these and other reports, it is apparent that unpurified islets from one pancreas may survive as well as pure islets prepared from multiple donors.
  • Tissue transglutammase (TG) expression is a fundamental event m the induction of apoptosis.
  • TG is a calcium-dependent enzyme whose activity is well established m many mammalian tissues, including pancreas. It is involved m the cross- linking of intracellular proteins that precedes the irreversible ultrastructural changes characterizing W wO 9 ⁇ 9/ / 1 i 5 3 6o2z5:> PCT/CA98/00887

  • TGF- ⁇ expression in vivo may be important m the re- establishment of basement membrane following its loss during islet isolation, and hence in islet cell survival .
  • Growth factors may also be inhibitory in almost all situations in which apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is positively stimulated. This suggests that regulation of growth factor levels is not only important in the control of cell proliferation but also in maintaining viability of cells susceptible to apoptosis. These data suggest, that for the success of islet transplantation, the activity of survival factors may be fundamental to the long term maintenance of graft function.
  • the preferred Islet Survival Medium of the present invention takes advantage of (1) newly recognized effects of known growth factors on inhibiting the induction of apoptosis in islet cells, (2) the combination of these factors to achieve a synergistic beneficial effect on islet cell survival, and (3) the potentiation of this synergistic effect by the addition of the drug FK506 (ProGraf , Fujisawa) .

  • Negative controls are tissues processed with non- immune serum substituting for the 1° antibodies. To identify the presence of apoptotic cells, the tissues were co-processed for the TUNEL reaction (see below) . Detection of Apoptotic Cell Death
  • TUNEL To identify which cells in the islet were undergoing apoptosis, a TUNEL was employed. Islets were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and embedded in paraffin. 5 ⁇ m paraffin sections were cut and pretreated with 0.1 % Trypsin buffer in 37° for 5 min. The In Situ Cell Death Detection Kit (Boehringer Mannheim, Laval, Quebec) was used for the labeling of apoptotic cells and the sections were developed with DAB (Sigma, St Louis, MO) . To reduce non-specific labeling the POD antibody conjugate was diluted 1:5 in TBS buffer. Approximately 800 cells from 10 islets were counted in each group, and an apoptotic index (% of labeled cells) was calculated. Analysis of Culture Medium for Growth Factors
  • the islets were embedded in rat tail collagen and cultured in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 10% NuSerum. After three days in culture, three experimental groups were designed for this study: Group 1 (control) , islets cultured in DMEM/F12; Group 2, islets cultured in DMEM/F12+25%DCM; and Group 3, islets cultured in DMEM/F12+34 ng/ml IGF-II. The islets were retrieved from the collagen following 9 days in culture with this media .
  • Statistical Analysis Analysis
  • Islet diameter ranged from 50 to 300 ⁇ m, with the majority measuring 100 to 200 ⁇ m. Under the inverted microscope, freshly isolated islets had a smooth appearance with slightly irregular borders. After overnight incubation, the islets recovered a more regular spherical shape with well defined smooth borders .
  • the mean islet diameter ( ⁇ m) was similar in each of the three treatment groups- islets alone (161 ⁇ 34 ⁇ m) vs. islets+ducts (164 ⁇ 61 ⁇ m) vs. islets+DCM (155 ⁇ 51 ⁇ m) .
  • Islets cultured alone had a significant increase in central necrosis (p ⁇ 0.001) at all time points when compared to islets in the other two groups (Fig. 8) . Data are mean + SEM, (n 15) . * P ⁇ 0.001 (Student's t test) .
  • the apoptotic index (% TUNEL positive cells) demonstrated a significant difference (p ⁇ 0.001) between islets cultured alone (60.8 ⁇ 3.9%) compared to those co-cultured with ducts (29.8 + 8.3%) or in DCM supplemented medium (38.3 ⁇ 1.5%). Over 80% of TUNEL-positive cells were in the inner 80% of the islet, suggesting that these were primarily beta cells. Double labeling of cells for islet cell hormones confirmed this impression, although as anticipated, many TUNEL-positive cells in fact did not show immunoreactivity for any islet cell hormone.
  • duct conditioned medium was analyzed for growth factors that might be expected to be secretory products of pancreatic ductal epithelium, based on previous literature reports.
  • Our analysis demonstrated the presence of a small amount NGF (4 ng/ml) and much larger amount of IGF-II (34 ng/ml) . IGF-I was not identified.
  • IGF-II could account for the beneficial effect of DCM (p ⁇ 0.004) with respect to limiting apoptosis in cultured islets (islet alone- 4.9 ⁇ 0.7; islets+DCM- 2.7 ⁇ 0.4; islets+IGF- 2.5 ⁇ 1.0 ; Fig. 10).
  • islet cells When maintained under standard in vitro conditions, islet cells, predominantly in the islet core, underwent necrotic cell death. This finding is in keeping with a number of previous studies that have also documented the occurrence of central necrosis in islets maintained in vi tro. In the present study, however, when islets were co-localized with duct epithelium or with the secretory products of duct cells, the occurrence of central islet necrosis was diminished significantly.
  • pancreatic ductal epithelium promotes islet cell survival. This effect appears to be mediated in a paracrine manner by the release of IGF-II from cells in the ductal epithelium.
