ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:The use of donor rat of cardiac death inevitably experiences warm ischemia injury, so the length of warm ischemia time plays a significant role on the number and function of pancreatic islet obtained. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of Exendin-4 on pancreatic islet function of donor rats with cardiac death at different heat ischemia time. METHODS:Islet cells from Wistar rats were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into three groups according to the experimental conditions:0, 30, 45 min heat ischemia groups. Each group was further assigned into two subgroups, control group was cultured for 24 hours while experimental group wad cultured with 10 nmol/L Exendin-4 for 24 hours. The number of isolated pancreatic islets was calculated with diphenylthiocarbazone staining, and the purity of the extracted islets was adjusted. The viability of the islets was examined by AO/EB staining, and insulin secretion index assay was used to detect the function of the islets. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:With the time of heat ischemia increasing, the number, purity, viability and function of islet cells obtained were decreased. After the cells in heat ischemia 0, 30, 45 min groups were cultured with 10 nmol/L Exendin-4 for 24 hours, the number, purity and viability of isolated and purified islets were increased compared to the group without added Exendin-4. There was significant difference between experimental group and control group in 30-minute and 45-minute ischemia groups (P<0.05). Exendin-4 can protect pancreatic islet cells in donor rats with cardiac death at different heat ischemia times, reduce the apoptosis, and improve islet survival and functions. The use of Exendin-4 can be an effective pretreatment method at early ischemia phase of islet transplantation.
