项目摘要

Abstract The objective of this 4-year R01 project is to develop an innovative and comprehensive toolkit, including a collection of fluorescent protein (FP) based biosensors, a microfluidic Islet-On-a-Chip, a smartphone fluorescence microscope, and an imaging analysis application, optimized for the potency evaluation of human islets as cell-based therapy in Type 1 diabetes (T1D), as well as for characterization of the phenotype and physiology of emerging new biologics for future T1D treatment. We propose to use genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors to evaluate key physiological parameters of β- cells and islets, and furthermore, to define the potency, phenotype, and physiology of various promising biologics for T1D cell replacement therapy. Leveraging the complementary expertise of our strong team and our extensive preliminary results, we will pursue the following two Specific Aims: 1. Develop and optimize fluorescent biosensors to monitor key physiological processes in β-cells and islets. 2. Integrate biosensors with microfluidic arrays, a smartphone fluorescence microscope, a customized imaging analysis application for standardized, high-content characterization of islet biologics. The outcome of this project will be an economic and integrated system for convenient and reliable characterization of human islets, xenogeneic islets, encapsulated islets, and stem-cell-derived β-cells. These in vitro assays, which innovatively evaluate several key physiological parameters of β-cells and islets, can not only be used for standardization and quality control, but also be important screening tools to improve the generation, storage, and transport of next-generation biologics. Our proposed work will generate significant impacts on development of current and future cell replacement therapy for diabetes.

抽象的这个4年R01项目的目的是开发一个创新和全面的工具包，包括荧光蛋白（FP）的生物传感器收集，微流体胰岛芯片，智能手机荧光显微镜和成像分析应用，用于对人类的效力评估进行了优化胰岛作为1型糖尿病（T1D）的基于细胞的治疗，以及表型的表征新兴生物制剂的生理学用于未来的T1D治疗。我们建议使用一般编码的荧光生物传感器来评估β-的关键生理参数细胞和胰岛，此外，以定义各种有前途的生物制剂的效力，表型和生理学用于T1D细胞替代疗法。利用我们强大的团队和我们广泛的专业知识初步结果，我们将追求以下两个具体目标： 1。开发和优化荧光生物传感器，以监测β细胞和胰岛中的关键生理过程。 2。将生物传感器与微流体阵列，智能手机荧光显微镜，定制的胰岛生物制剂的标准化高素质表征的成像分析应用。该项目的结果将是一个经济和综合系统，以方便而可靠人类胰岛，异种胰岛，封装的胰岛和干细胞衍生的β细胞的表征。这些体外测定法创新评估β细胞和胰岛的几个关键物理参数，不仅可以用于标准化和质量控制，但也是改善生成的重要筛选工具，下一代生物制剂的存储和运输。我们提出的工作将对开发糖尿病的当前和未来细胞替代疗法。
