Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease caused by the lack of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells leading to systemic hyperglycemia. Pancreatic islet transplantation is a valid therapeutic approach to restore insulin loss and to promote adequate glycemic control. Pancreatic islet transplantation in mice is an optimal preclinical model to identify new therapeutic strategies aiming at preventing rejection and optimizing post-transplant immuno-suppressive/-tolerogenic therapies.
Islet transplantation in preclinical animal models can be performed in different sites such the kidney capsule, spleen, bone marrow and pancreas. This protocol describes murine islet transplantation under the kidney capsule. This is a widely accepted procedure for research purposes. Stress caused in the animals is minimal and it leads to reliable and reproducible results.
Background
Many alternative sites for islet implantation have been reported so far in small animal models and the ideal site must be selected according to the technical advantages of the procedure to be used and for the purpose of the experiments. Bearing in mind that the kidney capsule is an extravascular site and it is not immunoprotected, pancreatic islet transplantation under the kidney capsule remains a surgical procedure with low mortality rates leading to hyperglycemia reversion within a few days. In addition, transplantation under the kidney capsule allows histological studies and formal demonstration of islet function (Cantarelli and Piemonti, 2011; Elisa Cantarelli et al., 2013).
