GLP-1 blood sugar regulation in islet transplants

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is now well-known from the anti-diabetic drugs that mimic the action of this natural hormone GLP-1, to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. They work by stimulating insulin release, reducing glucagon secretion, slowing stomach emptying, and suppressing appetite, which leads to lower blood sugar and weight loss.

May 1992 we were the first to show direct potentiation of the insulin response from isolated islets by a (near-)physiological dose of the gut hormone GLP-1 during perifusion (in vitro) of canine islets at 7.5-10 mM glucose levels (1,2).

Jan 1994 we next showed this incretin effect of GLP-1 also after islet transplantation (in vivo, in dogs) in this poster (3) and abstract (4) presented at the 13th Workshop of the AIDSPIT (aka AIDPIT) Study Group , Igls, Austria, January 23–25, 1994.

Background of the work was posted earlier this year (5) and the work was published Nov 1994 in my PhD thesis Pancreatic islet transplantation , available online (6).

Slideshow (digitally remastered) of first talk on pancreatic islet xeno-transplantation following adult pig islet purification in our novel Iodixanol-UWS density gradient. Presented at the 17th Workshop of the AIDSPIT Study Group in Igls, Austria, Tuesday, Jan 27, 1998 (1, 2).

Isolation of porcine pancreatic islets (from the pancreas of large sows) was markedly improved by keeping the islets in the UW donor organ preservation solution (UWS) both during the isolation of islets (using the Liberase enzyme blend) and purification of the islets using a novel Iodixanol-UWS density gradient.
Transplantation of the pig islets (after 1 day storage in culture solution) restored normal blood sugar levels in diabetic mice.

I started an archive at Archive.org November 11, 2010 with this slideshow (pdf) of my January 1999 oral presentation in Igls (Innsbruck), Austria, at the 18th Workshop of the AIDSPIT (Artificial Insulin Delivery Systems, Pancreas and Islet Transplantation) Study Group. (Now known as AIDPIT).

The presented results of this innovative islet purification method — developed over nearly 10 years (from 1989) in our Leiden islet laboratory (LUMC) — were the outcome of work I had done spring 1998 with the human islet transplantation group of Camillo Ricordi at the Diabetes Research Institute in Miami , Florida, USA.

Slideshow (video) of my January 1999 oral presentation in Igls (Innsbruck), Austria, at the 18th Workshop of the AIDSPIT (Artificial Insulin Delivery Systems, Pancreas and Islet Transplantation) Study Group. (Now known as AIDPIT).

These results of this innovative islet purification method developed in our Leiden islet laboratory (LUMC) were the outcome of work I had done spring 1998 with the islet group of Camillo Ricordi in the “fast track” center for diabetes research at the Diabetes Research Institute in Miami , Florida, USA.
