Pancreatic islets of the Syrian golden hamster were maintained in culture for extended periods of time. Toxicity of streptozotocin in these cultures was evaluated by measurement of insulin secretion. Exposure of islets to 1 or 2 mM streptozotocin immediately following isolation resulted in a permanent and dose-related inhibition of insulin secretion. This was accompanied by islet disruption as observed by phase-contrast microscopy. Culture of islets for 24 hours before streptozotocin exposure afforded protection from toxicity. For example, exposure of freshly isolated islets to 2 mM streptozotocin resulted in complete destruction of beta cells, whereas islets similarly exposed after a 24 hr culture period continued to secrete insulin for many months. Islets maintained in culture for one week before exposure to 0.1–0.5 mM streptozotocin, however, became more sensitive than freshly isolated islets. Repeated weekly exposure of cultured islets to a “non-toxic” concentration (0.1 mM) resulted in sustained suppression of insulin secretion after 11 weeks.
