The main hurdles to the wide spread use of islet transplantation for the treatment of type 1 diabetes continue to be the insufficient number of appropriate donors and the need for immunosuppression. Microencapsulation has been proposed as a means to protect transplanted islets from the host’s immune system. The present study investigated the function of human pancreatic islets encapsulated in Ca2+/Ba2+-alginate microbeads intraperitoneally transplanted in diabetic Balb/c mice. All mice transplanted with encapsulated human islets (n=29), at a quantity of 3,000 islet equivalent (IEQ), achieved normoglycemia one day after transplantation and retained normoglycemia for extended periods of time (mean graft survival 134 ± 17 days). In comparison, diabetic Balb/c mice transplanted with an equal amount of non-encapsulated human islets rejected the islets within 2–7 days after transplantation (n=5). Microbeads retrieved after 232 days (n=3) were found with little to no fibrotic overgrowth and contained viable insulin positive islets. Immunofluorescent staining on the retrieved microbeads showed F4/80 positive macrophages and alpha SMA positive fibroblasts but no CD3 positive T lymphocytes. The Ca2+/Ba2+-alginate microbeads can protect human islets from xenogeneic rejection in immunocompetent mice without immunosuppression. However, grafts ultimately failed likely secondary to a macrophage mediated foreign body reaction.
