The aim of this study was to investigate whether co-culture of human islets with adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) can improve islet quality and to evaluate which factors play a role in the protective effect of ASCs against islet dysfunction. Islets and ASCs were cultured in three experimental groups for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h: 1) indirect co-culture of islets with ASC monolayer (Islets/ASCs); 2) islets alone; and 3) ASCs alone. Co-culture with ASCs improved islet viability and function in all culture time-points analyzed. VEGFA, HGF, IL6, IL8, IL10, CCL2, IL1B, and TNF protein levels were increased in supernatants of islet/ASC group compared to islets alone, mainly after 24 h. Moreover, VEGFA, IL6, CCL2, HIF1A, XIAP, CHOP, and NFKBIA genes were differentially expressed in islets from the co-culture condition compared to islets alone. In conclusion, co-culture of islets with ASCs promotes improvements in islet quality.
本研究旨在探讨人胰岛与脂肪干细胞(ASCs)共培养是否能改善胰岛质量,并评估哪些因素在 ASCs 对抗胰岛功能障碍的保护作用中发挥作用。将胰岛和 ASCs 在三个实验组中培养 24、48 和 72 小时:1)胰岛与 ASC 单层的间接共培养(胰岛/ASCs);2)胰岛单独培养;3)ASCs 单独培养。与 ASCs 共培养可提高胰岛在所有分析的培养时间点的活力和功能。与胰岛单独培养相比,胰岛/ASC 组的上清液中 VEGFA、HGF、IL6、IL8、IL10、CCL2、IL1B 和 TNF 蛋白水平升高,主要在 24 小时后升高。此外,与胰岛单独培养相比,共培养条件下胰岛中 VEGFA、IL6、CCL2、HIF1A、XIAP、CHOP 和 NFKBIA 基因的表达存在差异。总之,胰岛与 ASCs 的共培养促进了胰岛质量的改善。
