Diabetes mellitus, including Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and advanced Type 2 diabetes (T2D), remains a major global health challenge due to the destruction or dysfunction of insulin-producing β-cells. Islet transplantation offers a promising therapeutic strategy. However, it is limited by organ shortage globally and other risk factors. Recent advancements in organoid technology provide transformative solutions for islet regeneration. This review summarized three groundbreaking approaches: islet organoids differentiated from Procr+ pancreatic progenitor cells, chemically induced pluripotent stem cells (CiPSCs), and endoderm stem cells (EnSCs). Procr+ cells exhibit multipotency and potential for activation, offering a scalable and non-invasive strategy for β-cell regeneration. CiPSCs, reprogrammed via small molecules, enable personalized islet therapies with promising clinical outcomes, as demonstrated in T1D patients. EnSC-derived islets (E-islets) offer high differentiation efficiency and therapeutic efficacy, particularly for T2D patients with residual β-cell function. While each approach addresses specific challenges in islet transplantation, further research is needed to optimize scalability, immune compatibility, and long-term functionality. This review highlights the potential of organoid-based technologies to revolutionize diabetes treatment and pave the way for personalized, curative therapies.
糖尿病,包括1型糖尿病(T1D)和晚期2型糖尿病(T2D),由于产生胰岛素的β细胞遭到破坏或功能失调,仍然是一项重大的全球健康挑战。胰岛移植提供了一种很有前景的治疗策略。然而,它受到全球器官短缺及其他风险因素的限制。类器官技术的最新进展为胰岛再生提供了变革性的解决方案。本综述总结了三种开创性方法:由Procr+胰腺祖细胞分化而来的胰岛类器官、化学诱导多能干细胞(CiPSCs)和内胚层干细胞(EnSCs)。Procr+细胞具有多能性和激活潜力,为β细胞再生提供了一种可扩展且非侵入性的策略。CiPSCs通过小分子重编程,能够实现个性化胰岛治疗,并取得了有前景的临床结果,1型糖尿病患者的情况已证明了这一点。内胚层干细胞来源的胰岛(E-胰岛)具有高分化效率和治疗效果,尤其适用于仍具有残余β细胞功能的2型糖尿病患者。虽然每种方法都解决了胰岛移植中的特定挑战,但仍需要进一步研究以优化可扩展性、免疫相容性和长期功能。本综述强调了基于类器官的技术在彻底改变糖尿病治疗方面的潜力,并为个性化的治愈性疗法铺平道路。
