Abstract

Summary Islet transplantation has the potential to cure type 1 diabetes, but current clinical transplantation protocols are inefficient because of the extensive loss of functional islets during the immediate post-transplantation period. Studies in rodent models have demonstrated that co-transplanting mesencyhmal stromal cells (MSCs) with islets improves graft functional survival and transplantation outcomes, and some of the beneficial effects of MSCs are attributable to bioactive molecules secreted by MSCs. Clinical islet transplantation is almost exclusively via the hepatic portal vein, which does not facilitate co-engraftment of islets and MSCs, so attention is currently focused on using cell-free cocktails of MSC-derived products to treat islets prior to transplantation. This approach has the potential to overcome many of the technical and regulatory hurdles associated with using MSCs as an adjuvant therapy for human islet transplantation.
