Pancreatic islet transplantation is a promising cell replacement therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), an autoimmune disease that destroys insulin-producing islet β cells. However, the shortage of donor pancreatic islets significantly limits the widespread use of this strategy as a routine therapy. Pluripotent stem cell-derived insulin-producing islet organoids present a promising alternative β cell source for T1D patients. One critical challenge is the lack of vascularization in islet organoids, making it essential to investigate vascularized transplantation sites to support their survival. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is well vascularized and secretes active cytokines, facilitating islet organoid survival. Thus, BAT represents a promising transplantation site for islet organoids, making it an ideal location to support cell replacement therapies and improve treatment approaches for T1D. Here, we describe the methods for transplanting human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived islet organoids into the BAT of a mouse model.
胰岛移植对于1型糖尿病(T1D)患者来说是一种很有前景的细胞替代疗法,1型糖尿病是一种自身免疫性疾病,会破坏产生胰岛素的胰岛β细胞。然而,供体胰岛的短缺严重限制了这种策略作为常规疗法的广泛应用。多能干细胞来源的产生胰岛素的胰岛类器官为T1D患者提供了一种很有前景的替代β细胞来源。一个关键挑战是胰岛类器官缺乏血管化,因此研究血管化的移植部位以支持其存活至关重要。棕色脂肪组织(BAT)血管丰富且分泌活性细胞因子,有助于胰岛类器官存活。因此,BAT是胰岛类器官很有前景的移植部位,使其成为支持细胞替代疗法和改进T1D治疗方法的理想位置。在这里,我们描述了将人诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)来源的胰岛类器官移植到小鼠模型BAT中的方法。
