Research Abstract

Concerning the use of cryopreservation for pancreatic islet storage, there are several factors to consider in order to obtain the best functional presenvation of islet cells. The most obvious one is the cooling rate. In our studies, the isolated islets were cultured free-floating in petri-dish with RPMI 1640 + 10% calf serum in air + 5% CO_2 at 37゜C After 3 days of culture, the islets were cooled in Hanks' solution containing 15% Me_2SO and 10% calf serum at a cooling rate of 25゜C/min to -70゜C using a programmable temperature controller. Finally, these islets were immersed in liquid nitrogen and kept frozen for 2 weeks. The function of cryopreserved islets was compared with that of non-frozen cultured islets (control). Islet viabilities were evaluated by determining glucose-stimulated insulin release, islet contents of insulin and DNA, replicatory capacity of the islet cells in vitro and in vivo, and therapeutic effects of the islets in streptozotocin-induced diabetic recipients. In li … More ght microscopic examination of frozen-thawed islets, cryopreserved islets resembled the non-frozen cultured control islets. The basal insuin release from cryopreserved islets were almost the same as that from the control. When challenged with high glucose concentration, the insulin secretory rate of the cryopreserved islets increased more than 3-fold. The DNA content of cryopreserved islets was 0.465 0.067 ng/10 islets, which was about 30% less than the control. Similar observation was made with respect to islet content of insulin. However, the insulin content was expressed on a per DNA besis, there was no difference between cryopreserved and non-frozen control islets. The labelling index of the cryopreserved islets were about 2.04% in vitro and 1.38% in vivo, which were almost the same as those of the controls. Implantation of 1000 cryopreserved syngeneic islets into diabetic recipients led to complete normalization of the hyperglycemia in all of eight hamsters. It is concluded that the fairly rapid cooling rate of 25゜C/min may be useful for cryopreservation of isolated pancreatic islets. Less
