The Effect of Different Concentrations of Liberase Hi Used in a Non Automated Method for Human Adult Pancreatic Islet Isolation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Liberase HI has many advantages over traditional collagenases. Liberase performs the rapid dissociation of human pancreata and allows for the preservation of the morphological and functional integrity of isolated islets. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different concentrations of Liberase HI (1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 mg/ml) on the yield, viability and function of islets isolated by a non-automated method. Based on our results, the Liberase HI concentration 1.5 mg/ml is recommended for this method of isolation.

Successful human islet isolation utilizing recombinant collagenase.
The enzymatic dissociation of acinar tissue by collagenase is a substantial step in the isolation of pancreatic islets. Although essential collagenase components have been purified, the variability in the activity of different batches limits long-term reproducibility of isolation success. The utilization of purified recombinant proteases would solve this problem. In the present study, pancrease...
متن کاملHuman islet isolation: semi-automated and manual methods.
Large yields of high-viability human islets are necessary to service the expanding programmes of islet transplantation worldwide; similarly, there is an increasing demand from diabetes researchers for a reliable and cost-effective supply of human islets. The two main isolation methods are semi-automated and manual. Both methods rely on prompt and careful removal and transfer of the donor pancre...

Background: Pancreatic islet transplantation has been reported as an appropriate method for treatment of type I diabetes patients, however there are strong indications that cytokine and chemokines secreted from transplanted islets play an important role in islet graft rejection in different stage post-transplantation. The NF-kB signaling pathway is activated in response to the stress resulted f...
متن کاملCo-Transplantation of VEGF-Expressing Human Embryonic Stem Cell Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Enhance Islet Revascularization in Diabetic Nude Mice
Background: Pancreatic islet transplantation has emerged as a promising treatment for type I diabetes. However, its efficacy is severely hampered due to poor islet engraftment and revascularization, which have been resulted to partially loss of transplanted islets. It has been shown that local delivery of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) could accelerate transplanted islet revasculari...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical characterization of pancreatic duodenal homeobox protein-1, neurogenin-3 and insulin protein expressions in islet-mesenchymal cell in vitro interactions from injured adult pancreatic tissues: a morphochronological evaluation
Objective(s): The use of a co-culture of islets with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is a promising therapy in islet transplantation to revert hyperglycaemia, but the resulting insulin-producing cells (IPCs) express low levels of pancreas endocrine developmental genes. This study aims to investigate the morphochronology of a co-culture of islets with MSCs from injured adult pancreata, and char...
