ABSTRACT
AIMS:
Pancreatic islets can be lost early following allotransplantation from oxidative stress. Antioxidant enzyme overexpression could confer a beneficial effect on islets exposed to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitrogen species. Here, we tested the effect of MnTMPyP, a superoxide dismutase/catalase mimetic.METHODS:
INS-1 insulin-secreting cells or human islets were cultured with MnTMPyP and exposed to a superoxide donor (the hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase (HX/XO) system), a nitric oxide donor [3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1)] or menadione. Viability of INS-1 cells was assessed by WST-1 colorimetric assay and FACS analysis (Live/Dead test). ROS production was determined using fluorescent probes. Islet viability was estimated by WST-1 assay and endocrine function by static incubation.RESULTS:
Following MnTMPyP treatment, ROS production in INS-1 cells was reduced by 4- to 20-fold upon HX/XO challenge and up to 2-fold upon SIN-1 stress. This phenomenon correlated with higher viability measured by WST-1 or Live/Dead test. MnTMPyP preserved islet viability upon exposure to SIN-1 or menadione but not upon an HX/XO challenge. Similarly, decrease in insulin secretion tended to be less pronounced in MnTMPyP-treated islets than in control islet when exposed to SIN-1, but no changes were noticed during an HX/XO stress.CONCLUSIONS:
MnTMPyP was able to improve the viability of INS-1 cells and human islets exposed to oxidative challenges in vitro. Protection of INS-1 cells could be as high as 90%. This agent is therefore potentially attractive in situations involving the overproduction of ROS, such as islet transplantation.
