| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using the mouse intraportal islet transplantation model, we have reported that the cytotoxic activity of intrahepatic NK cells on the transplanted islets is enhanced after islet transplantation and it caused the islet graft destruction. We confirmed that activation of intrahepatic NK cells in the IBMIR environment, which involved in acute islet injury after islet transplantation, disturbed transplanted islet engraftment.
In order to control intrahepatic immune activity, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), having a cytotoxic activity inhibitory effect by various soluble factors such as PGE2, are activated with inflammatory cytokines and then cotransplanted with islet transplantation. We demonstrated that the ability to produce PGE2 was well enhanced to regurate the intrahepatic NK cells activation after islet transplantation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that co-administration of activated MSCs contributes to a remarkable improvement effect on islet graft survival.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本邦において膵島移植が普及するには移植効率の向上が必須であり、初回膵島移植後の肝臓内免疫細胞活性化メカニズムと、免疫感作に伴う再移植後の膵島傷害メカニズムを解明し、肝臓内免疫細胞活性を制御する治療戦略を確立することは有用と考えられる。
本研究で、十分量の膵島と複数回の移植でのみ治療効果が認められていた膵島移植が、活性化間葉系幹細胞を同時投与することで、少量でも効果が期待できる可能性があることを証明した。
