Effects of β-like cell autotransplantation through hepatic arterial intervention on diabetic dogs.
Exogenous insulin and EGFP genes were transduced into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells of beagle dogs using the retroviral vector pMSCV to prepare β-like cells. These cells were autotransplanted into the liver of diabetic dogs through hepatic arterial intervention, and physiological indices before and after transplantation were monitored. Autotransplantation of β-like cells significantly improved blood sugar, insulin levels, and body mass of diabetic dogs (P < 0.01) continuously for over 80 weeks. Since the liver function remained normal and no tumors formed, this method was determined to be reliable and safe. Intrahepatic autotransplantation of β-like cells had long-term, reliable, and safe therapeutic effects on diabetic dogs.
