The IsletTester mouse: an immunodeficient model with stable hyperglycemia for the study of human islets
The gold standard for assessing the function of human islets or β-like cells derived from stem cells involves their engraftment under the kidney capsule of hyperglycemic, immunodeficient mice. Current models, such as Streptozotocin (STZ) treatment of severely immunodeficient mice or the NRG-Akita strain are limited due to unstable and variable hyperglycemia and/or high morbidity of these models. To address these limitations, we developed the IsletTester mouse via CRISPR-Cas9 mediated gene editing of glucokinase (Gck), the glucose sensor of the β-cells, directly in NSG zygotes. IsletTester mice are heterozygous for an Arg345->stop mutation in Gck and present with stable random hyperglycemia (∼250mg/dl; ∼14 mM), normal life span and fertility. We demonstrate the utility of this model through functional engraftment of both human islets and hESC-derived β-like cells. The IsletTester mouse will enable the study of human islet biology over time and under different physiological conditions and can provide a useful preclinical platform to determine the functionality of stem cell-derived islet products.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes is a scientific journal that publishes original research exploring the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of diabetes mellitus. We encourage submissions of manuscripts pertaining to laboratory, animal, or human research, covering a wide range of topics. Our primary focus is on investigative reports investigating various aspects such as the development and progression of diabetes, along with its associated complications. We also welcome studies delving into normal and pathological pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism, as well as exploring the mechanisms of drug and hormone action from a pharmacological perspective. Additionally, we encourage submissions that delve into the biochemical and molecular aspects of both normal and abnormal biological processes.
However, it is important to note that we do not publish studies relating to diabetes education or the application of accepted therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to patients with diabetes mellitus. Our aim is to provide a platform for research that contributes to advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes of diabetes.
