Abstract

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic metabolic disease caused by the destruction of pancreatic β-cells. Human dental pulp stem cells represent a promising source for cell-based therapies, owing to their easy, minimally invasive surgical access, and high proliferative capacity. It was reported that human dental pulp stem cells can differentiate into a pancreatic cell lineage in vitro; however, few studies have investigated their effects on diabetes. Our study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of intravenous and intrapancreatic transplantation of human dental pulp stem cells in a rat model of streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetes. Forty Sprague Dawley male rats were randomly categorized into four groups: control, diabetic (STZ), intravenous treatment group (IV), and intrapancreatic treatment group (IP). Human dental pulp stem cells (1 × 106 cells) or vehicle were injected into the pancreas or tail vein 7 days after streptozotocin injection. Fasting blood glucose levels were monitored weekly. Glucose tolerance test, rat and human serum insulin and C-peptide, pancreas histology, and caspase-3, vascular endothelial growth factor, and Ki67 expression in pancreatic tissues were assessed 28 days post-transplantation. We found that both IV and IP transplantation of human dental pulp stem cells reduced blood glucose and increased levels of rat and human serum insulin and C-peptide. The cells engrafted and survived in the streptozotocin-injured pancreas. Islet-like clusters and scattered human dental pulp stem cells expressing insulin were observed in the pancreas of diabetic rats with some difference in the distribution pattern between the two injection routes. RT-PCR analyses revealed the expression of the human-specific pancreatic β-cell genes neurogenin 3 (NGN3), paired box 4 (PAX4), glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2), and insulin in the pancreatic tissues of both the IP and IV groups. In addition, the transplanted cells downregulated the expression of caspase-3 and upregulated the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and Ki67, suggesting that the injected cells exerted pro-angiogenetic and antiapoptotic effects, and promoted endogenous β-cell replication. Our study is the first to show that human dental pulp stem cells can migrate and survive within streptozotocin-injured pancreas, and induce antidiabetic effects through the differentiation and replacement of lost β-cells and paracrine-mediated pancreatic regeneration. Thus, human dental pulp stem cells may have therapeutic potential to treat patients with long term T1DM.

Metastasiertes CRC: besser Checkpointhemmer im Doppelpack!

Die Kombination von Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab ist beim metastasierten Kolorektalkarzinom mit MSI-H- oder dMMR klar im Vorteil gegenüber einer Nivolumab-Monotherapie: Das Progressionsrisiko war damit in einer Phase-3-Studie um 38% reduziert.

Riesenzellarteriitis: bilaterale Biopsie der Temporalarterien von Vorteil

Die Riesenzellarteriitis (RZA) erfordert eine rasche und präzise Diagnose, da innerhalb weniger Tage ein schwerer, irreversibler Sehverlust drohen kann. In diesem Zusammenhang scheint die bilaterale Biopsie der Temporalarterien (TAB) der unilateralen überlegen zu sein.

Große Trinkmengen bei Blasentumoren möglicherweise von Nachteil

Beim nicht-muskelinvasiven Blasenkrebs scheint eine hohe Flüssigkeitszufuhr keinen schützenden Effekt in Bezug auf das Risiko eines Rezidivs oder einer Krankheitsprogression zu haben. Eine niederländische Studie legt sogar nahe, dass große Trinkmengen das Fortschreiten der Erkrankung begünstigen könnten.

Höhere Trefferquoten bei Brustkrebsscreening dank KI?

Künstliche Intelligenz unterstützt bei der Auswertung von Mammografie-Screenings und senkt somit den Arbeitsaufwand für Radiologen. Wie wirken sich diese Technologien auf die Trefferquote und die Falsch-positiv-Rate aus? Das hat jetzt eine Studie aus Schweden untersucht.
