Stem/progenitor cell therapy is a promising treatment option for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) a disease characterized by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic ß cells. Actively injecting cells into an organ is one option for cell delivery, but in the pancreas, this contributes to acute inflammation and pancreatitis. We employed a patch grafting approach to transplant biliary tree stem cells/progenitor cells (BTSC) onto the surface of the pancreas in diabetic mice. The cells engraft and differentiate into ß-like cells reversing hyperglycemia during a four-month period of observation. In addition, C-peptide and insulin gradually increase in blood circulation without detectable adverse effects during this period. Moreover, the patch graft transplant promoted the proliferation and differentiation of pancreatic ß-like cells with co-expression of the ß cell biomarker. CONCLUSION: BTSC transplantation can effectively attenuate T1D over a four-month period that is vital important for clinical applications.
