Success of clinical pancreatic islet transplantation depends on the mass of viable islets transplanted and the proportion of transplanted islets that survive early ischaemia reperfusion injury. Novel pancreas preservation techniques to improve islet preservation and viability can increase the utilization of donation after cardiac death donor pancreases for islet transplantation. Rat pancreases were retrieved after 30 min of warm ischaemia and preserved by static cold storage, hypothermic machine perfusion or retrograde portal venous oxygen persufflation for 6 h. They underwent collagenase digestion and density gradient separation to isolate islets. The yield, viability, morphology were compared. In vitro function of isolated islets was compared using glucose stimulated insulin secretion test. Portal venous oxygen persufflation improved the islet yield, viability and morphology as compared to static cold storage. The percentage of pancreases with good in vitro function (stimulation index > 1.0) was also higher after oxygen persufflation as compared to static cold storage. Retrograde portal venous oxygen persufflation of donation after cardiac death donor rat pancreases has the potential to improve islet yield.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.
