Anti-fibrotic effect of ketoprofen-grafted alginate microcapsules in the transplantation of insulin producing cells

Sandrine Gerber, Daniel Ortiz Trujillo, François Rémi Pierre Noverraz, Luca Szabó

The controlled release of small molecular modulators of the immune response from hydrogel microspheres (MS) used for cell immobilization is an attractive approach to reduce pericapsular fibrotic overgrowth (PFO) after transplantation. Ketoprofen is a well- ...

Pancreatic islet cells isolation and transplantation into the bone marrow

Sandrine Gerber

Bone marrow is currently being considered as an alternative site for pancreatic islet transplantation. The goal of the present review is to report preclinical and clinical studies taking advantage of this new implantation site. Preclinical studies in mice ...

Survival of Free and Encapsulated Human and Rat Islet Xenografts Transplanted into the Mouse Bone Marrow

Jutta Christine Wandrey, Redouan Mahou

Bone marrow was recently proposed as an alternative and potentially immune-privileged site for pancreatic islet transplantation. The aim of the present study was to assess the survival and rejection mechanisms of free and encapsulated xenogeneic islets tra ...

Allogeneic beta-islet cells correct diabetes and resist immune rejection

Patrick Aebischer

Allogeneic MHC-incompatible organ or cell grafts are usually promptly rejected by immunocompetent hosts. Here we tested allogeneic beta-islet cell graft acceptance by immune or naive C57BL/6 mice rendered diabetic with streptozotocin (STZ). Fully MHC-misma ...

A non-cleavable mutant of Fas ligand does not prevent neutrophilic destruction of islet transplants

Steinunn Baekkeskov Hanahan

Background. Fas ligand (FasL) mediates apoptosis of susceptible Fas-expressing lymphocytes, and may contribute to the maintenance of peripheral tolerance. In transplantation models, however, artificial expres- sion of FasL on cellular as well as islet tran ...

Lentivirus-mediated Bcl-2 expression in betaTC-tet cells improves resistance to hypoxia and cytokine-induced apoptosis while preserving in vitro and in vivo control of insulin secretion

Didier Trono, Romain Zufferey

betaTC-tet cells are conditionally immortalized pancreatic beta cells which can confer long-term correction of hyperglycemia when transplanted in syngeneic streptozocin diabetic mice. The use of these cells for control of type I diabetes in humans will req ...
