| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We demonstrated that blood glucose levels of diabetic rats were kept stable normal by transplanting islet at subcutaneous sites without immunosuppressive drug. Transplantation sites were prepared by implanting agarose rods with SEK-1005 or bFGF. The population of regulatory T (Treg) cells infiltrated into granulomatous tissue formed around the agarose rods were significantly increased in comparison with normal subcutaneous tissue. The population of Treg cells were kept constant higher levels after islet transplantation. Gene expression of the granulomatous tissue around agarose rods 7 days after implantation were analyzed. The expression levels of Treg cells associated chemokines and cytokines were increased in granulomatous tissue. Concentration of activated TGF-β1 in exudate reached maximum 10 days after implantation of agarose-SEK. The immune tolerance site was formed around the agarose rods.
