Morphological and functional characterization of a pancreatic β‐cell line microencapsulated in sodium cellulose sulfate/poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)

Abstract: Background: Late diabetic complications cannot be prevented totally by current antidiabetic strategies. Therefore, new therapeutic concepts of insulin replacement such as pancreas transplantation are evolving. Due to the shortage of human donor organs, transplantation of microencapsulated xenogeneic pancreatic islet cells has attracted considerable attention. Sodium cellulose sulfate/poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (NaCS/PDADMAC) is a material with favorable biogenic properties that has been used for microencapsulation of various cell types.

Material and methods: Cell growth and viability of NaCS/PDADMAC‐microencapsulated HIT‐T15 cells, an immortalized hamster pancreatic β‐cell line, were assessed using a dimethylthiazol‐diphenyltetrazoliumbromide (MTT)‐based cell growth determination kit and apoptosis was detected by antibodies against activated caspase 3. Glucose‐dependent insulin secretion was assessed with ELISA and the uptake of glucose was measured using fluorescence‐labeled glucose.
