AbstractAims/hypothesis.Previous studies have shown that new beta cells differentiate from intra-islet precursors in pancreatic islets of mice in which diabetes is induced by injecting a high dose of the beta-cell toxin streptozotocin. Moreover, the re-establishment of euglycaemia by insulin therapy 1 day after streptozotocin treatment improved the process of regeneration. We sought to assess whether a 1-week delay in the restoration of euglycaemia would affect beta-cell regeneration.Methods.Adult CD-1 mice were injected with 200 mg/kg of streptozotocin. One group of mice remained hyperglycaemic throughout the experiment while a second group became normoglycaemic following the administration of insulin therapy 1 week after the injection of streptozotocin. Pancreata removed at different times after treatment were processed for visualization ofβ precursor-cell markers and insulin by confocal microscopy.Results.New beta cells appeared in islets of streptozotocin-treated mice after restoration of normoglycaemia. Like islets of streptozotocin mice in which blood glucose concentrations were rapidly restored, islets of mice that became normoglycaemic 1 week after streptozotocin treatment also had two potential insulin precursor cell types. Protracted hyperglycaemia however, had several harmful effects on insulin cell neogenesis, such as a reduction in the number of euglycaemic mice with successful beta-cell regeneration and a decrease in the number and survival of the newly differentiated insulin-containing cells.Conclusion/interpretation.These results indicate that islets gradually lose their regenerative potential when they are exposed to high circulating glucose concentrations for an extended period of time.
