Type 1 diabetes is associated with the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, which is mediated via an autoimmune mechanism and consequent inflammatory processes. In this article, we describe a beneficial effect of peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) in a type 1 diabetes mouse model. The main idea of this study was based on the well-known data that oxidative stress plays an important role in pathogenesis of diabetes and its associated complications. We hypothesised that PRDX6, which is well known for its various biological functions, including antioxidant activity, may provide an antidiabetic effect. It was shown that PRDX6 prevented hyperglycemia, lowered the mortality rate, restored the plasma cytokine profile, reversed the splenic cell apoptosis, and reduced the β cell destruction in Langerhans islets in mice with a severe form of alloxan-induced diabetes. In addition, PRDX6 protected rat insulinoma RIN-m5F β cells, cultured with TNF-α and IL-1β, against the cytokine-induced cytotoxicity and reduced the apoptotic cell death and production of ROS. Signal transduction studies showed that PRDX6 prevented the activation of NF-κB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling cascades in RIN-m5F β cells cultured with cytokines. In conclusion, there is a prospect for therapeutic application of PRDX6 to delay or even prevent β cell apoptosis in type 1 diabetes.

Abstract Insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells is tightly regulated by glucose and paracrine signals within the microenvironment of islets of Langerhans. Extracellular matrix from islet microcapillary endothelial cells (IMEC) affect beta-cell spreading and amplify insulin secretion. This study was aimed at investigating the hypothesis contact-independent paracrine signals generated from IMEC may also modulate beta-cell insulin secretory functions. For this purpose, conditioned medium (CMp) preparations were prepared from primary cultures of rat IMEC and were used to simulate contact-independent beta cell-endothelial cell communication. GSIS assays were then performed on freshly isolated rat islets and the INS-1E insulinoma cell line, followed by fractionation of the CMp, mass-spectroscopic identification of the factor, and mechanism of action characterization. The IMEC-derived CMp markedly attenuated first- and second-phase GSIS in a time- and dose-dependent manner without altering cellular insulin content and cell viability. Size-exclusion fractionation, chromatographic and mass-spectroscopic analyses of the CMp identified the attenuating factor as the enzyme Triosephosphate Isomerase (TPI). An antibody against TPI abrogated the attenuating activity of the CMp while recombinant human TPI (hTPI) attenuated GSIS from beta cells. This effect was reversed in the presence of tolbutamide in the GSIS assay. In silico docking simulation identified regions on TPI dimer that were important for potential interactions with the extracellular epitopes of the sulfonylurea receptor in the complex. This study supports the hypothesis that an effective paracrine interaction exists between IMEC and beta cells and modulates glucose-induced insulin secretion via TPI- sulfonylurea receptor- KATP channel (SUR1-Kir6.2) complex attenuating interactions.

Stimuli Responsive Polymers

Endothelial keratoplasty is a recent shift in the surgical treatment of corneal endothelial dystrophies, where the dysfunctional endothelium is replaced whilst retaining the unaffected corneal layers. To overcome the limitation of donor corneal shortage, alternative use of tissue engineered constructs is being researched. Tissue constructs with intact extracellular matrix are generated using stimuli responsive polymers. In this study we evaluated the feasibility of using the thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-glycidylmethacrylate) polymer as a culture surface to harvest viable corneal endothelial cell sheets. Incubation below the lower critical solution temperature of the polymer allowed the detachment of the intact endothelial cell sheet. Phase contrast and scanning electron microscopy revealed the intact architecture, cobble stone morphology, and cell-to-cell contact in the retrieved cell sheet. Strong extracellular matrix deposition was also observed. The RT-PCR analysis confirmed functionally active endothelial cells in the cell sheet as evidenced by the positive expression of aquaporin 1, collagen IV, Na+-K+ATPase, and FLK-1. Na+-K+ATPase protein expression was also visualized by immunofluorescence staining. These results suggest that the in-house developed thermoresponsive culture dish is a suitable substrate for the generation of intact corneal endothelial cell sheet towards transplantation for endothelial keratoplasty.

Bovine Corneal Endothelial Cell

The mammalian corneal endothelium is known to transport fluid from the stromal compartment to the aqueous humor, thereby maintaining corneal transparency. Corneal endothelial cells have been cultured for some years now, but whether they preserve their in vivo ability to actively transport fluid is not known. We have now grown bovine corneal endothelial cell monolayers (BCECM) on permeable substrates (Transwell) and report that, just like their counterparts in vivo, these cultured cells pump fluid from the basal to the apical compartment and display measurable electrical resistance and potential difference across the monolayer. BCECM were grown on collagen-treated permeable supports using Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM)/20% fetal bovine serum with antibiotics. Cells grew to confluence in 5-7 days and displayed polygonal shape. Only cells from passages 1-3 were utilized. Inserts were fitted directly into Lucite chambers specially built. The rate of fluid pumping by BCECM was 3.96 +/- 0.49 (SE) microliter.h-1.cm-2 (n = 13) and could be measured continuously for several hours; fluid pumping was inhibited by 0.2 mM amiloride. The specific electrical resistance of the monolayers was 180 +/- 22 omega.cm2 (n = 11). A mean electrical potential difference of 63.8 +/- 3.7 microV (n = 15, range 40-100 microV, apical side negative) was recorded across the monolayers in DMEM. The availability of the commercial inserts makes this procedure practical; as a consequence, the rate of fluid transport by cultured corneal endothelium has been quantitated for the first time. This method can now be extended to other cultured layers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
