Eggs of Terranova decipiens were dissected from the vagina and uterus of adult worms from seals and incubated in seawater at 15C. Freshly hatched larvae were cultivated to preadults in Eagle's medium (MEM) with 20% fetal-calf serum.At 15C, 70% of the larvae exsheathed and grew to the infective stage without further molts. Infective larvae were 31.3 (27.7–33.3) mm in length after 52 weeks of cultivation and were similar in morphology to larvae from fish.At 35C, 80%. of cultivated larvae (5.0–24.2 mm in length) molted to preadult. There was a 25% increase in length over a 6-week, period. Cultivated preadults (6.1–36.8 mm in length) were morphologically similar to preadults from seals. They did not, however, complete development to adulthood, and an attempt to infect a seal with cultivated infective larvae was unsuccessful.The described in vitro developmental stages of T. decipiens form a useful guide to the in vivo identification of this important economic nematode.

Eggs of Contracaecum osculatum were dissected from the vagina and uterus of adult worms from seals and were incubated in seawater at 15C. Freshly hatched larvae were cultivated to preadult in Eagle's medium (MEM) with 20% foetal calf serum.At 15C, the ensheathed second-stage larvae exsheathed and grew to the infective stage without further molts. Infective larvae of C. osculatum were 6.5 mm (5.9–9.5) in length after 32 weeks.At 35C, 58% of infective larvae > 2 mm in length molted to subadults which possessed cuticular lips but lacked interlabia. Subadults were 2.9–13.8 mm in length and morphologically similar to larvae found attached to the gastric mucosa of seals. Four subadults subsequently molted to preadults 13.1–17.2 mm in length with interlabia. However, an attempt lo infect a seal with cultivated infective larvae was unsuccessful.

Pre-weaned porcine islets (PPIs) represent an unlimited source for islet transplantation but are functionally immature. We previously showed that necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) immediately after islet isolation enhanced the in vitro development of PPIs. Here, we examined the impact of Nec-1 on the in vivo function of PPIs after transplantation in diabetic mice. PPIs were isolated from pancreata of 8–15-day-old, pre-weaned pigs and cultured in media alone, or supplemented with Nec-1 (100 µM) on day 0 or on day 3 of culture (n = 5 for each group). On day 7, islet recovery, viability, oxygen consumption rate, insulin content, cellular composition, insulin secretion capacity, and transplant outcomes were evaluated. While islet viability and oxygen consumption rate remained high throughout 7-day tissue culture, Nec-1 supplementation on day 3 significantly improved islet recovery, insulin content, endocrine composition, GLUT2 expression, differentiation potential, proliferation capacity of endocrine cells, and insulin secretion. Adding Nec-1 on day 3 of tissue culture enhanced the islet recovery, proportion of delta cells, beta-cell differentiation and proliferation, and stimulation index. In vivo, this leads to shorter times to normoglycemia, better glycemic control, and higher circulating insulin. Our findings identify the novel time-dependent effects of Nec-1 supplementation on porcine islet quantity and quality prior to transplantation.
