Dexamethasone suppresses the expansion and transdifferentiation of transplanted porcine neonatal pancreas cell clusters (NPCCs) into β-cells in normal nude miceDiabetes Research and Clinical PracticeVol. 66PreviewObjectives: This study was performed to investigate the effect of dexamethasone on the expansion and transdifferentiation of transplanted neonatal pancreas cell clusters (NPCCs) in vivo. Methods: Porcine NPCCs were generated from 1 to 3-day-old neonatal pigs. After transplantation (Tx) of 4000 islet equivalents (IEqs) of NPCCs beneath the renal subcapsular space of normoglycemic nude mice, dexamethasone (Dx, 1 mg/kg) or vehicles were injected daily. Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance testing (ip-GTT) was performed at 4 weeks (n = 4) and 10 weeks (n = 7) after Tx. Full-Text PDF
