Isolating pure pancreatic islets is essential for assaying glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) of beta cells and for islet transplantation from cadaveric donors 1-3. It is also necessary to establish endocrine gene expression in islet cells 4, 5. For this purpose, detailed protocols have been established to allow for isolation of pancreatic islets from large pancreata (6 and references therein). These methods are based on enzymatic perfusion to dissociate acinar from islet tissues, coupled with gradient separation and hand picking. Thus, islet isolation from large pancreas can be performed readily in most laboratories. On the other hand, no detailed step-by-step protocol exists to allow for the isolation of islets from pancreata that are too small to perfuse.
Studying gene expression and function of neonatal islets is important. Neonate islets have different properties from adults in insulin secretion and proliferation capability 7, 8. However, isolating islets from newly born animals, especially mice is challenging due to the small size of the newly born pancreas. The size prevents the usual perfusion process when collagenase is injected though the pancreatic duct. Indeed, several papers have presented studies along these lines, with enzyme or non-enzyme aided isolation procedures 7, 9, 10. However, detailed description of the islet isolation process with visual aid is lacking 7, 9, making it a challenge for most researchers to perform similar studies. 
We have explored several different conditions that yield high quality islets from neonatal mice. Here we present a protocol that is expected to help researchers learn the key details in the islet isolation process. This protocol is applicable to mouse pancreas up to two weeks of age, after which perfusion can be performed for routine islet isolation. Islets can be directly used for insulin secretion and gene expression assays.

effective isolation of functional islets from neonatal mouse pancreas

protocolos de isolamento de ilhotas-à base de perfusão de grande pâncreas de mamíferos estão bem estabelecidos. Tais protocolos estão prontamente realizado em muitos laboratórios, devido ao grande tamanho do ducto pancreático que permite a injecção pronto colagenase e subsequente perfusão tecidual. Em contraste, o isolamento de ilhotas do pâncreas pequena, como a de ratinhos neonatais, é um desafio porque perfusão não é facilmente realizável na pequena pâncreas. Aqui nós descrevemos um procedimento simples detalhado que recupera um número substancial de ilhotas de ratos recém-nascidos com assistência visual. pancreata inteiro recentemente dissecados foram digeridos com 0,5 mg / ml de colagenase IV dissolvido em Hanks &#39;Solução Salina Equilibrada (SSHE) a 37 ° C, em tubos de microcentrífuga. Os tubos foram aproveitado regularmente para ajudar a dispersão do tecido. Quando a maior parte do tecido foi disperso em pequenos aglomerados de cerca de 1 mM, lisados ​​foram lavados três a quatro vezes com meio de cultura com 10% de soro fetal de bovino (FBS). aglomerados de ilhotas,desprovidas de tecidos acinares reconhecíveis, pode então ser recuperado sob dissecando estereoscópio. Este método recupera 20 - 80 pequenas e ilhotas de grande porte por pâncreas de rato recém-nascido. Estas ilhotas são adequadas para ensaios a jusante mais possíveis, incluindo a secreção de insulina, a expressão do gene, e a cultura. Um exemplo do ensaio de secreção de insulina é apresentado para validar o processo de isolamento. O fundo genético e grau de digestão são os maiores fatores determinantes do rendimento. solução de colagenase recentemente feito com alta atividade é preferível, uma vez que auxilia no isolamento endócrino-exócrina. A presença de catiões [cálcio (Ca2 +) e magnésio (Mg2 +)] em todas as soluções e soro fetal de bovino na lavagem / meios de recolha são necessárias para um bom rendimento de ilhotas com integridade adequada. Um escopo de dissecação com bom contraste e ampliação também vai ajudar.

Em condições óptimas, o método apresentado pode rendimento de 20 - 80 de cada pequena ilhotas do pâncreas do rato. Este número depende do fundo genético, idade de ratinhos, e o tamanho das ilhotas para ser recuperado. Entre os comumente usados, CD1 fora de raça C57BL / 6J de raça pura produzem menos ilhotas com tamanho menor do que híbridos entre CD1 e C57BL / 6 ou B6CBAF1 comercial / mice J fazer. Mão directa colheita geralmente deu um menor número de ilhotas, provavelmente ...

Effective Isolation of Functional Islets from Neonatal Mouse Pancreas

Nós descrevemos um protocolo aqui para isolar ilhotas intactas de ratos recém-nascidos. Pâncreas foi parcialmente digerido com colagenase, seguido por lavagem e colheita manual. 20 - 80 agrupamentos de ilhéus podem ser obtidos por pâncreas de ratinhos recém-nascidos, que são adequados para vários estudos da ilhota.

Isolamento eficaz de ilhotas funcionais a partir de ratinho neonato Pâncreas

Perfusion-based islet-isolation protocols from large mammalian pancreata are well established. Such protocols are readily conducted in many laboratories ...

The overall goal of this procedure is to isolate intact islets of Langerhans from the neonatal mouse pancreas. This method can help answer the key questions in adding development and function. Such as insulin excretion, gene expression, para cell survival and functional maintenance.The main advantage of this method is that it's simple and straight forward while still allowing new researchers to isolate a substantial number of intact islet for down strain studies. Begin by spraying a neonate in the supine position with 70%ethanol. Then, use tweezers to lift the skin over the abdomen and cut the skin and muscle layers longitudinally along the midline from the genitals to the ribcage.Next, transfer all of the internal organs into a 100 centimeter dish and locate the pancreas, which is a white scattered organ with the ventral portion that clings to the duodenum and the dorsal portion that clings to the stomach and spleen. Add HBSS to dish to submerge the organs so that the pancreatic tissues no longer cling to the duodenum, stomach, or spleen. Then use a pair of tweezers to peel the pancreas away from surrounding tissues.Transfer the pancreas into a new 60 millimeter dish containing HBSS and use scissors to cut one to five pancreata into five millimeter pieces or smaller. When all of the tissue has been minced, transfer the pieces into one point five milliliter microcentrifuge tubes and add collagenase working solutions to the samples. Then incubate the tissue fragments at 37 degrees celsius, inverting the tubes two times every minute.After five minutes, tap the tube to monitor the digestion status of the pieces. Continue the digestion for another ten minutes, until the lysate is cloudy and most of the pancreata appear as fragmented cell clusters less than two millimeters in diameter. At the end of the digestion, pellet the lysate by microcentrifugation and use a p1000 pipette to carefully remove the supernatent, which should appear turbid but free of cell clusters.Next, add one millileter of fresh RPMI 16/40 complete medium to the pellet. Then gently tap to resuspend the fragmented lysate pieces and invert the tube ten times. After centrifuging, invert the resuspended lysate at least two more times as just demonstrated until the supernatent is clear.Then resuspend the final pellet in one milliliter of fresh complete medium and add two milliliters of polysucrose and sodium diatrazoate at a 1.077 g/ml density to a 15 milliliter conical tube on ice. Using a Pasteur pipette, carefully layer the lysate on top of the gradient solution without mixing the layers and separate the cells by centrifugation. Transfer the medium and the islet containing interphase layers into a new 15 milliliter tube and gently but thoroughly mix the islets with ten milliliters of fresh medium for centrifugation.After a second wash and fresh complete medium, resuspend the islet and duct containing pellet in four milliliters of fresh complete medium. Now seed the islets onto a 60 millimeter dish and add five milliliters of complete medium to the cells. Transfer the dish under a dissecting microscope and turn on the bright field illumination adjusting the light intensity to approximately 50%of the maximum power.At a 50x magnification, the islets will appear as slightly pink clusters and the acinar cells and dark, irregularly shaped clusters. Using a p20 pipette tip, harvest the individual islets, taking care to avoid the acinar clusters, dispensing the islet enriched fractions in a new 60 millimeter dish containing complete medium. When all of the islets have been picked from the original dish, harvest the islets from the collection dish into a new 60 millimeter dish containing four milliliters of fresh complete medium two more times, until only pure islets are present in the final collection dish.A proper digestion and isolation will yield islets with smooth outer surfaces. Insufficient collagenase digestion can result in large, easily visualized islets that can not be completely separated from the acinar tissues, reducing the overall islet yield even though larger islets are produced. In the case of over digestion, although acinar tissues can be completely separated from the islets, islet structure is prone to be compromised resulting in rough surface islets observed under the microscope.Neonatal islets isolated by this method display high basal insulin secretion levels with glucose stimulated insulin secretion profiles typical of immature islet beta cells, suggesting that this islet isolation procedure largely conserves the functional properties of neonatal islets. Once mastered, this technique can be finished within just two hours if performed properly. When attempting the procedure, it is important to remember to precentrifuge the collagenase in order to remove any insoluble debris and to calcium and magnesium supplemented washing buffer and to use pretreated washing buffer in order to stop the tissue dissociation quickly.For in this procedure, our experiment, such as glucose stimulated insulin secretion can be performed to answer additional questions such as insulin secretion dynamics in neonatal beta cells. Also, this technique pave ways for researchers in the field of beta cell biology to do additional essays, such as gene expression or other metabolic studies. After watching this video, you should have a good understanding of how to isolate intact islets from neonatal mouse pancreas for your down strain studies.Don't forget, working with collagenase powder will be extremely hazardous, so precautions such as wearing gloves and face mask should be always taken when using this material.
