Modelling human beta cell development with pluripotent stem cells.","authors":"Masaharu Seno,&nbsp;Maria Cristina Nostro","doi":"10.46582/jsrm.1602013","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46582/jsrm.1602013","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is nowadays taken granted that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are available for the regeneration therapy since iPSCs differentiate into any kind of phenotypes. If iPSCs can choose their fate in every way of differentiation why they do not choose cancer phenotype. As a body develops for one fertilized egg, embryonic stem cell must choose every phenotype of tissues such as blood, neuron, lung, liver, pancreas and so on depending on the stages. And sometimes the cells get cancer. So do iPSCs because iPSCs are almost equivalent to embryonic cells. Then how can the safety of the regeneration therapy be maintained with iPSCs? When inducing the differentiation of iPSCs it is considered important to choose the proper conditions of culture such as 3D-platform for embryoid, supplement of cytokines and growth factors, inhibition of signaling and so on. On the other hand, several conditions have been reported to induce cancer stem cells. The cancer inducing conditions are possibly summarized as the factors chronically exposed to iPSCs. It is further worthwhile noticing that the conditions do not appear to induce mutations but affecting the epigenetics. Collectively, to secure the safety of regeneration therapy, it appears the best way to avoid the conditions to induce cancer stem cells. Further insights in details will be discussed in the lecture. Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of the pancreatic beta cells and loss of insulin. Using the Edmonton protocol, donor-derived islets seeded into the liver successfully restore glycemia in 58% of T1D patients. However, donor scarcity, risks associated with immunosuppressants and poor engraftment limit this therapeutic application to a small number of patients. To overcome these challenges, the developmental potential of human embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells is being harnessed to produce surrogate islets in vitro. We and others have been able to mimic human embryonic development and generate pancreatic progenitors (PP) that have the ability to mature into insulin-producing beta-like cells both in vitro and in vivo. Transplantation of pancreatic progenitors in the kidney capsule of immunodeficient mice leads to formation of islet-like structures that secrete human insulin. However, there are some limitations to the use of pancreatic progenitors for the treatment of T1D. First and foremost, their safety as the PP population can be heterogenous and highly proliferative, which might lead to formation of cellular outgrowth or teratoma after transplantation. Second, while insulin-producing cells develop in vivo 6 weeks after transplantation, restoration of normoglycemia occurs ~5 months later, suggesting that these \"early\" insulin-producing cells are immature, or poorly connected to the host vasculature. We have been addressing these two limitations and developed approaches to 1) improve safety by identifying markers to purify the PP ","PeriodicalId":17155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine","volume":"16 2","pages":"90-91"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2020-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7772808/pdf/jsrm_16_90.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38795717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, an increase in insulin and c-Peptide secretion as a function of glucose challenge confirmed the functionality of the differentiated beta cells. The differentiation of adipose-derived MSC into beta cells has been well established. However, our data demonstrates, for the first time, that the ready availability and properties of MSC isolated from deceased donor adipose tissue render them well-suited as a source for increased production of functional beta cells.

It cripples people from living a normal life; sometimes it leads people to the extreme condition of permanent damage. The COVID-19 situation has brought in unexpected misery - victimizing millions of people. It has been an equalizer as both the rich and the poor have been affected; both the affluent and the developing countries have become a prey to the pandemic. For nearly one year the world is wondering which way to turn for comfort or solution, as the fear of the second and third waves looms over. Science has not given the timely preventive medication; world leaders are not able to lead the people with effective insight; financial system is on the brink of collapse; and even the faith of people seems to become a question mark. But any problem should have a solution, with often multiple aspects of solutions. Apart from medicine, one could become strengthened to face the situation. Starting with the analysis of the cause and the effect of Coronavirus Pandemic, this talk explores the intellectual and emotional aspects of the situation with the focus on the psychological and spiritual solutions to face the crisis; how to get reconciled with the reality; and how to thrive in his situation. The ultimate goal is to come out of the crisis with a spirit of creativity. If the pandemic is a period of cocoon, the butterfly-joy would be the hope to come out soon.
