A new immunodeficient hyperglycaemic mouse model based on the Ins2 Akita mutation for analyses of human islet and beta stem and progenitor cell function

Abstract: Aims/hypothesis To develop and validate a new immunodeficient mouse strain that spontaneously develops a nonautoimmune hyperglycaemia to serve as a diabetic host for human islets and human beta stem and progenitor cells without the need for induction of hyperglycaemia by toxic chemicals with their associated side effects. Methods We generated and characterised a new strain of immunodeficient spontaneously hyperglycaemic mice, the NOD-Rag1 null Prf1 null Ins2 Akita strain and compared this strain with the NOD-s… Show more

“…Chemically Induced Hyperglycemic NSG Mice NSG mice have been induced to become hyperglycemic by the injection of streptozotocin (STZ) (King et al 2008;Pearson et al 2008b). Transplantation of human or mouse islets, or dissociated mouse islet insulin-positive cells can restore normoglycemia.…”

“…This spontaneously arising mutation replaces a cysteine at position 96 with tyrosine, and disrupts a disulfide linkage required for proper folding of Akita -harboring strains of immunocompetent mice (Pearson et al 2008b). There was no mononuclear cell infiltration into the islets that had spontaneously lost b cells, and human islets transplanted into diabetic NOD-Rag1 null Prf1 null Ins2 Akita mice resulted in a return to euglycemia.…”

“…Pearson et al (Pearson et al, 2008) described the NOD-Rag1null Prf1null Ins2Akita spontaneously hyperglycemic mouse model. This model has no autoimmune defect, but may be used to study type 1 diabetes in an environment that avoids any toxicity associated with chemically induced diabetes models.…”
