The distribution of porcine pancreatic beta-cells at ages 5, 12 and 24 weeks.

Abstract:

:Islet transplantation is a potential treatment for diabetes mellitus and porcine pancreata may provide a readily available source of islets. The size, number and distribution of islets within the pancreas may influence the choice of age of donor for xenotransplantation. Samples (n = 3 per age group) from the dorsal and ventral pancreas of 5-, 12- and 24-week-old hybrid pigs were fixed in formal saline, processed in paraffin wax and stained with an avidin/biotin immunohistochemical kit for insulin, glucagon, somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide. The arrangement of endocrine cells within the pancreata were studied and mean diameter of beta-cell groups were measured (from insulin stained sections) in 1 mm2 grid areas (n = 10 per section) and collated into groups according to size. Percentage volume density of beta-cells in relation to the whole pancreas was calculated and also the distribution of beta-cell groups, according to their size, within the total beta-cell mass. There were differences in the frequency and arrangement of endocrine cells within islets at the different ages studied. beta-Cell groups < 50 microm in diameter occupied 70 to 80% of the total beta-cell mass at 5 weeks but, as the age of the pig increased, larger cell groups were more abundant. However, the percentage volume density of beta-cells within the total pancreas did not change as the pancreas matured. This study shows that the endocrine porcine pancreas was maturing and its structure changed between the ages of 5 and 24 weeks. The relevance of these findings may have implications on the isolation and function of islets if young pigs are to be used as donors for transplantation as a treatment for diabetes mellitus.

  • Epigenetic biomarkers indicate islet cell death in xenotransplantation.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Xenotransplantation of porcine islets has emerged in recent decades as a potential treatment for type 1 diabetes (T1D). Current methods of detection, indicative of successful engraftment, occur downstream of actual islet death. Epigenetic biomarkers can be detected in circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) to pro...
