- Abstract
- Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) stimulates cell proliferation and has anti-apoptotic effects on pancreatic islet cells. In our previous study, the transduction of mouse islets with a recombinant adenovirus containing GLP-1 cDNA enhanced islet graft survival. In this study, we sought to deliver the GLP-1 gene using a nonviral vector, which raises fewer safety issues in clinical application. We constructed a plasmid, p-SP-GLP-1, in which a secretion signal peptide (SP) was inserted to increase GLP-1 secretion, and transfected mouse islets using the nonviral carrier Effectene. Transfection of p-SP-GLP-1 induced a significant increase in bioactive GLP-1 levels in islet cultures. Islets transfected with p-SP-GLP-1 were protected from H2O2-induced cell damage in vitro. In addition, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was significantly increased in p-SP-GLP-1-transfected islets. Diabetic syngeneic mice transplanted under the kidney capsule with a marginal mass of p-SP-GLP-1-transfected islets rapidly became normoglycemic, with 88% of recipients being normoglycemic at 30days post-transplantation compared with 52% of mice that received p-transfected islet grafts (P˂0.05). Islet grafts retrieved 7days after transplantation revealed that the p-SP-GLP-1-transfected group had significantly more Ki67-positive cells as compared with the p-transfected group. In conclusion, delivery of a plasmid containing a secretion SP and GLP-1 cDNA using a nonviral carrier leads to efficient secretion of GLP-1 in mouse islet cells, enhances islet cell survival during the early post-transplant period, and improves islet transplantation outcome.
