14 Cell Transplant 1998; 7: 489. Insulin in = Insulin out

15 Islet isolation improvements? Almost nothing to gain by spending money and efforts on getting more islets from each pancreas Quality not numbers!

16 So why do allogenic islets fail to thrive long term?

17 ISLET TRANSPLANTATION IN RODENTS Davalli AM et al, Day 1: Necrotic cores Diabetes 19: ,1996 Conclusion from this and other studies is that only about % of the transplanted islets survive the first few weeks. Day 3: Necrosis and cell infiltration increases Day 7: Remodelling Day 14: Graft is more compact and better vascularized

30 Challenges for the future (next 5 years) A. No special islet donor criteria. B. Improve islet quality, less focus on islet number (donor & isolation) C. Improve islet culture and shipment D. Focus on metabolic control, not insulin independence (combine islet tx 1:1 with long acting insulin) E. More tolerable immunosuppressive regimes (carefully controlled randomized clinical trials) F. Islet tx can only develop into a treatment for uncomplicated type 1 diabetes if E can be achieved (even if an unlimited source of ß cells was available)

31 With the large number of IDDM patients and the lack of donor pancreata the future of islet transplantation is likely to be in xenogenic porcine islet transplantation

32

33 ß cell volume (% of normal) Reserve capacity maintained in healthy persons ß cell volume required to maintain normal IVGTT <5 ß cell volume required to obtain insulin independence Type 1 Diabetes Time

34 Enhanced outcome Several (obese) donors Small recipients Improve islet isolation Enhance engraftment

35 Decay in Islet Function over time Undiagnosed acute rejection Chronic allograft rejection Recurrent Autoimmunity cf. pancreas tx & clinical course Failure of islet regeneration Drug toxicity ß cell exhaustion (glucose toxicity) of an isletgraft just able to maintain normoglycemia Modified from an original by A.M. James Shapiro 2004

36 Clinical islet transplantation Success is dependent on surviving islet mass Islet morbidity in during culture Loss early after transplantation (inflammation) Loss during cellular rejection Absence of islet toxic immunosuppressive regimes

38 Our studies suggest that both human (allogenic) as well as porcine (xenogenic) islets transplanted via the portal vein into the liver will be damaged shortly after transplantation by a strong inflammatory reaction. This inflammatory reaction has not been described in detail previously and therefore lacks a descriptive name. We have chosen to name it an: Instant Blood Mediated Inflammatory Reaction IBMIR
