摘要:
The present invention provides various methods for increasing beta cell mass. In certain embodiments, such methods include steps of administering to a subject an effective amount of: (a) SDF1, a polypeptide having amino acid sequence substantially homologous thereto, or a fragment thereof capable of increasing beta cell survival; and (b) GLP-1 Exendin-4, a polypeptide having amino acid sequence substantially homologous to GLP-1 or Exendin-4, or a fragment of GLP-1 or Exendin-4 capable of promoting beta cell proliferation, whereby beta cell mass is increased in the subject.
摘要:
Methods and compositions are described for the treatment of type I insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and other conditions using newly identified stem cells that are capable of differentiation into a variety of pancreatic islet cells, including insulin-producing beta cells, as well as hepatocytes. Nestin and ABCG2 have been identified as molecular markers for pancreatic stem cells, while cytokeratin-19 serves as a marker for a distinct class of islet ductal cells. Methods are described whereby nestin and/or ABCG2-positive stem cells can be isolated from pancreatic islets and cultured to obtain further stem cells or pseudo-islet like structures. Methods for ex vivo differentiation of the pancreatic stem cells are disclosed. Methods are described whereby pancreatic stem cells can be isolated, expanded, and transplanted into a patient in need thereof, either allogeneically, isogeneically or xenogenically, to provide replacement for lost or damaged insulin-secreting cells or other cells.
摘要:
Methods for screening a patient for pancreatic disease are disclosed and are based upon detection of a mutation in the gene encoding insulin promoter factor-1 (IPF-1) which is linked to diabetes mellitus and pancreatic agenesis.
摘要:
Derivatives of glucagon-like peptide I (GLP-1) and especially GLP-1(7-36) have been found to have insulinotropic activity. The invention pertains to the use of GLP-1(7-36) for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus.
