Insulin resistance and islet-cell dysfunction often occur in the earlier stages of type 2 diabetes (T2D) progression. The ability of the islet cells to respond to insulin resistance by increasing hormone output accompanied by increased islet-cell volume is key to maintaining blood glucose control and preventing further disease progression. Eventual β-cell loss is the main driver of full-blown T2D and insulin-dependency. Researchers are targeting T2D with approaches that include those aimed at enhancing the function of the patient's existing β-cell population, or replacing islet β-cells. Another approach is to look for agents that enhance the natural capacity of the β-cell population to expand. Here we aimed to study the effects of a new putative β-cell growth factor on a mouse model of pre-diabetes. We asked whether: 1) 4-week's treatment with vesiculin, a two-chain peptide derived by processing from IGF-II, had any measurable effect on pre-diabetic mice vs vehicle; and 2) whether the effects were the same in non-diabetic littermate controls. Although treatment with vesiculin did not alter blood glucose levels over this time period, there was a doubling of the Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) detectable in the islets of treated pre-diabetic but not control mice and this was accompanied by increased insulin- and glucagon-positive stained areas in the pancreatic islets.","PeriodicalId":14671,"journal":{"name":"Islets","volume":"14 1","pages":"14-22"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/33/83/KISL_14_1982326.PMC8632304.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10379915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Banting proposed to induce exocrine atrophy by ligating canine pancreatic ducts and to use extracts of islet-rich residua to treat pancreatectomized dogs. His next plan was to make extracts from fetal pancreas, which he had read was islet-rich and lacked exocrine tissue capable of making trypsin; this work has not been historically evaluated.Methods: Banting's fetal calf pancreas story is told using primary and secondary historical sources and then critically examined using both historical and recent data on species phylogeny, islet ontogeny, fetal/neonatal islet culture/transplantation, etc. Results/Discussion: Only ruminants develop dual islets populations sequentially; fetal calf pancreata, at the gestational ages Banting used, possess numerous insulin-rich giant peri-lobular islets, which credibly explain the potency of his fetal calf insulin extract. Use of non-ruminant fetal pancreata would have failed.","PeriodicalId":14671,"journal":{"name":"Islets","volume":"13 5-6","pages":"121-133"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/48/6c/KISL_13_1963188.PMC8528409.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39398410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One limitation is the shortage of cadaver human pancreata. The demand-supply gap could potentially be bridged by harnessing the self-renewal capacity of stem cells. Pluripotent stem cells and adult pancreatic stem cells have been explored as possible cell sources. Recently, a system for long-term culture of proposed adult pancreatic stem cells in a form of organoids was developed. Generated organoids partially mimic the architecture and cell-type composition of pancreatic tissue. Here, we review the attempts over the past decade, to utilize the organoid cell culture principles in order to identify, expand, and differentiate the adult pancreatic stem cells from different compartments of mouse and human pancreata. The development of the culture conditions, effects of specific growth factors and small molecules is discussed. The potential utility of the adult pancreatic stem cells is considered in the context of other cell sources.","PeriodicalId":14671,"journal":{"name":"Islets","volume":"13 5-6","pages":"85-105"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8528407/pdf/KISL_13_1941555.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39417048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hnf1b-CreERT2 transgenics have been used to show that the cells that form the embryonic pancreas duct-like plexus are bipotent duct-endocrine progenitors, whereas adult mouse duct cells are not a common source of β cells in various regenerative settings. The interpretation of such genetic lineage tracing studies is critically dependent on a correct understanding of the cell type specificity of recombinase activity with each reporter system. We have reexamined the performance of Hnf1b-CreERT2 with a Rosa26-RFP reporter transgene. This showed inducible recombination of up to 96% adult duct cells, a much higher efficiency than previously used reporter transgenes. Despite this high duct-cell excision, recombination in α and β cells remained very low, similar to previously used reporters. However, nearly half of somatostatin-expressing δ cells showed reporter activation, which was due to Cre expression in δ cells rather than to duct to δ cell conversions. The high recombination efficiency in duct cells indicates that the Hnf1b-CreERT2 model can be useful for both ductal fate mapping and genetic inactivation studies. The recombination in δ cells does not modify the interpretation of studies that failed to show duct conversions to other cell types, but needs to be considered if this model is used in studies that aim to modify the plasticity of pancreatic duct cells.","PeriodicalId":14671,"journal":{"name":"Islets","volume":"13 5-6","pages":"134-139"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19382014.2021.1955088","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39202054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this review, we consider possible routes by which SARS-CoV-2 may impact β cells. Specifically, we outline data that either support or argue against the idea of direct infection and injury of β cells by SARS-CoV-2. We also discuss β cell damage due to a \"bystander\" effect in which infection with the virus leads to damage to surrounding tissues that are essential for β cell survival and function, such as the pancreatic microvasculature and exocrine tissue. Studies elucidating the provocation of a cytokine storm following COVID-19 infection and potential impacts of systemic inflammation and increases in insulin resistance on β cells are also reviewed.
