项目摘要

Type II diabetes is chronic disease characterized by temporal loss of β-cell function and gradual insulin deficiency. Despite years of intensive research into the mechanisms of β-cell functional decline, progress in understanding the pathogenesis of diabetes has been hampered by our inability to monitor the fate of β-cells during progression of the disease or during therapeutic recovery. Although various molecular imaging approaches have been demonstrated in vitro, non-invasive imaging of β-cell mass and function in vivo remains elusive. Over the past 5½ years, our lab has improved upon the original design of a responsive MRI contrast agent that responds to release of Zn2+ ions from secretory tissues and demonstrated that release of insulin and Zn2+ from pancreatic β-cells initiated by a bolus of glucose bolus can be imaged in rodents and in the macaque non-human primate. The monkey imaging studies showed that Zn2+ and insulin secretion is not uniform throughout the pancreas, consistent with known data on the non-uniform distribution of islets throughout the pancreas. A reduction in agent Zn2+ binding affinity (by ~103) resulted in a dramatic improvement in the sensitivity for detection of Zn2+ secretion from the pancreas in vivo. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that one can detect “first responder islets” as “hot spots” in the tail of the pancreas by MRI using either a low or high affinity Zn2+ sensor. In this continuation project, we will monitor first responder islets in two well-established T2DM model, the Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rat (obese model) and the Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat (non-obese model). Animals will be imaged every 2 weeks during progression of the disease and as they respond to clinically approved T2DM drugs. The imaging methods will be validated by independent measures of insulin content (fluorescence) and Zn2+ content by SR-XRF. Our goal is to demonstrate that β-cell function can be monitored in the head and tail regions of the pancrease reproducibly by MRI and that this technology will provide new insights into β-cell function that will catalyze development of new drugs for T2DM.

II 型糖尿病是一种慢性疾病，其特征是 β 细胞功能暂时丧失并逐渐丧失尽管对β细胞功能机制进行了多年深入研究。下降，了解糖尿病发病机制的进展受到我们的阻碍无法在疾病进展或治疗期间监测 β 细胞的命运尽管各种分子成像方法已在体外得到证实，过去 5.5 年来，体内 β 细胞质量和功能的非侵入性成像仍然难以实现。多年来，我们的实验室改进了响应式 MRI 造影剂的原始设计，响应于分泌组织中 Zn2+ 离子的释放，并证明由葡萄糖推注引起的胰腺 β 细胞的胰岛素和 Zn2+ 可以在啮齿动物和猕猴非人类灵长类动物的成像研究表明。 Zn2+ 和胰岛素分泌在整个胰腺中并不均匀，与已知数据一致 Zn2+ 剂减少导致胰岛分布不均匀。结合亲和力（约 103）导致检测灵敏度显着提高 Zn2+在体内从胰腺分泌此外，我们已经证明可以。使用 MRI 检测“第一响应者胰岛”作为胰腺尾部的“热点” 低或高亲和力 Zn2+ 传感器在这个延续项目中，我们将监测急救人员。两个成熟的 T2DM 模型 Zucker 糖尿病脂肪 (ZDF) 大鼠（肥胖模型）中的胰岛 Goto-Kakizaki (GK) 大鼠（非肥胖模型）每两周进行一次成像。在疾病进展期间以及当他们对临床批准的 T2DM 药物产生反应时。成像方法将通过独立测量胰岛素含量（荧光）进行验证通过 SR-XRF 检测 Zn2+ 和 Zn2+ 含量我们的目标是证明可以监测 β 细胞功能。通过 MRI 可重复地检测胰腺的头部和尾部区域，并且该技术将提供对 β 细胞功能的新见解，从而促进新药的开发 T2DM。
