Human fetal pancreas (HFP) is a potential source of transplantable islets for the treatment of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Transplantation of either HFP explants or HFP proislets (endocrine enriched cells generated by limited collagenase digestion) beneath the kidney capsule of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic nude mice restores euglycemia within 3 months post-transplant. HFP proislets have previously been reported to be less immunogenic than non-digested HFP tissue. The aim of this study is to understand the passenger leukocyte composition of HFP and to identify a preparation of HFP with decreased immunogenicity suitable for clinical transplantation. Single cell suspensions of exocrine enriched cells were obtained following a 3 minute collagenase digestion of 1-2 mm 3 HFP explants. The remaining endocrine enriched proislets clusters were collected and further digested with dispase to single cells. The single cell suspensions of either exocrine or endocrine enriched cells were analyzed for the presence of monocytes/macrophages using the CD14 determinant and T cells using the CD3, CD4 or CD8 determinates by flow cytometry. The exocrine cell population contained a significant number of CD14+ cells (4.9±2% of total cells, n= 9), whereas there were significantly fewer CD14+ cells in the endocrine enriched population (0.8±0.4% of total cells, n= 9). The CD14 determinant was unaffected by the dispase digestion as determined using human PBMC. CD3+ T cells (both CD4 and CD8 phenotypes) were observed in varying amounts ranging from 0.2% to 2.5% of the total population of cells, and were present in both the exocrine-and endocrine-enriched cell populations. MLR cultures were established at a responder to stimulator ratio of 5: 1 using either irradiated exocrine-enriched or endocrine-enriched cells as stimulators and adult human PBMC as responders. Both IFNγ and IL10 production was significantly greater in MLR cultures stimulated with exocrine enriched HFP cells compared to MLR cultures stimulated with endocrine enriched HFP cells (IFNγ: p= 0.0003 on day 4, p= 0.02 on day 7; IL10: p= 0.02 on day 4 and p= 0.007 on day 7, n= 5 different HFP/PBMC combinations). Comparative CTL activity is being evaluated. It is now recognized that both direct and indirect pathways of allorecognition can contribute to graft loss. Direct T cell recognition is the result of host T cells interacting directly with allo-MHC molecules on donor APC's whereas in the indirect pathway host T cells recognize allopeptides processed and presented by self APC's. The decreased numbers of CD14+ cells may account in part for the decreased immunogenicity of the endocrine enriched HFP cell population via a decreased ability to stimulate via the direct pathway. The ability to selectively deplete passenger cells from the transplanted population using simple digestion protocols may significantly enhance the ability to successfully transplant HFP islets.
