摘要
Few studies have examined the differentiation of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived pancreatic endoderm cells (PECs) in different implantation sites. Here, we investigate the influence of implantation site and recipient sex on the differentiation of hESC-derived PECs in vivo. Male and female mice were implanted with 5 × 106 hESC-derived PECs under the kidney capsule, in the gonadal fat pad, or subcutaneously within macroencapsulation (TheraCyte) devices. PECs implanted within TheraCyte devices developed glucose-stimulated human C-peptide secretion faster than cells implanted under the kidney capsule or in the gonadal fat pad. Interestingly, hESC-derived PECs implanted under the kidney capsule in females developed glucose-stimulated human C-peptide faster than in males and secreted higher levels of arginine-stimulated glucagon and glucagon-like peptide 1 than other implantation sites. Furthermore, hESC-derived grafts collected from the kidney capsule and gonadal fat pad sites displayed a mix of endocrine and ductal cells as well as contained cysts, whereas TheraCyte device grafts displayed mostly endocrine cells and cysts were not observed. Here we demonstrate that the macroencapsulated subcutaneous site and the female recipient can promote faster differentiation of hESC-derived PECs to endocrine cells in mice.Few studies have directly compared the differentiation of human embryonic stem cell-derived progenitors in different implantation sites in male and female recipients. We investigated whether the site of implantation and/or the sex of the recipient influenced the differentiation of pancreatic progenitors in vivo in mice. Mice implanted with cells in macroencapsulation devices contained fewer off-target structures and developed stimulated insulin release faster than other implant sites, while females implanted with cells under the kidney capsule developed stimulated insulin release before males. Macroencapsulation devices reduced the formation of off-target cells from human embryonic stem cell-derived progenitors, a useful characteristic for clinical applications.
