| Research Abstract |
Study 1.Gene transfer into rat islets. Islets were isolated from F344 rat and cultured for 3-7 days before gene transfer. Gene transfection was made using polyamine transfection reagents. Vector was pZeoSV2/lacZ. Gene transferred islets survived for 5 days with good endocrine function. Gene transfer rate evaluated by X-gal staining showed >90%. Study 2.Gene transfer into canine islets. PCMS-EGFP was transferred into the islats from Beagle pancreata using 1)Gene gun, 2)Electroporarion, and 3)Lipofection. Lipofection technique was simple and less harmful for the isles. Moreover, insulin release was well preserved with Lipofection technique. Study 3.Clinical islet isolation, cryopreservation, and transplantation. Eight human islet isolations were performed in our institute using one brain-dead donor and seven non-heart beating donors. Islet yield was from 18693 to 491040 IEq. Purity was from 30 to 80 %. One of these isolations were used for clinical islet allograft. After transplantation, hypoglycemia disappered and obtained stable control of blood sugar levels.
