We hope that the use of hydrogel can extend the functional longevity of microencapsulated islet cells during xenotransplantation. Methods: Chitosan/gelatin solution with glycerol 2-phosphate disodium salt hydrate was prepared and utilized as a cell carrier. The biocompatibility of the chitosan/gelatin hydrogel was first established by using a mouse insulinoma cell line, NIT-1. Insulinoma cells were encapsulated in agarose as microspheres and then macroencapsulated in chitosan/gelatin hydrogel. In vitro cell activity, material-mediated cytotoxicity, cytokine-mediated cytotoxicity assay, and insulin secreting profiles of insulinoma/agarose microspheres macroencapsulated in chitosan/gelatin hydrogel were analyzed. For in vivo study, insulinoma/agarose microspheres with chitosan/gelatin solution was applied as an injectable bioartificial pancreas (BAPs). Insulinoma/agarose microspheres suspended in phosphate-buffered saline or in chitosan/gelatin solution was injected into the subcutaneous layer of diabetic rats. Non-fasting blood glucose (NFBG) concentration of rat was measured perioperatively. After pre-determined intervals, the chitosan/gelatin hydrogel containing insulinoma/agarose microspheres was retrieved for histologic examinations. Results: Insulinoma/agarose microspheres macroencapsulated in hydrogel revealed functional activity and secreted insulin continually for 60 days in vitro. Chitosan/gelatin hydrogel was not cytotoxic to islet cells, and in contrast, the hydrogel showed cytoprotective effects against cytokine-mediated cytotoxicity. The NFBG of diabetic rats transplanted with free insulinoma/agarose microspheres was decreased to euglycemia but restored to hyperglycemia in 15 days. Contrarily, the NFBG of rats transplanted with insulinoma/agarose microspheres with hydrogel remained euglycemic for 42 days. Histologic sections revealed that the fibrous tissue envelopment and the infiltrated immune-related cells contributed to the dysfunction of BAPs. Conclusions: This study indicates that using chitosan/gelatin hydrogel as a cell carrier is feasible and can provide an additional protection for the microencapsulated islet cells during xenotransplantation. ? 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. |
