Островки Лангерганса выделяли из хвостовой части ПЖ по методике с использованием коллагеназы. Жизнеспособность культивированных островков определяли методом флуоресцентного окрашивания витальным красителем, секреторную способность – методом иммуноферментного анализа (ИФА).</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Панкреатические островки, культивированные с биоматриксами, не проявляли признаков деградации и фрагментации и оставались жизнеспособными в течение всего срока наблюдения (7 суток). В монокультуре островков на этом сроке происходили значительные деструктивные изменения. Базальная концентрация инсулина в опытных группах 1 и 2 на первые сутки культивирования повышалась на 18,8 и 39,5% по сравнению с контрольной группой, на четвертые сутки инкубации – на 72,8 и 102,7%, на седьмые сутки – на 146,4 и 174,6% соответственно. Уровень секреции инсулина островков с тканеспецифическим матриксом был на 17,4% выше, чем при культивировании с биополимерным коллагенсодержащим матриксом.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Биополимерный и тканеспецифический миметики ВКМ способствуют не только сохранению жизнеспособности изолированных островков Лангерганса, но и поддержанию их инсулинпродуцирующей функции в течение 7 суток на более высоком уровне по сравнению с монокультурой. В условиях проведенных экспериментов выявлено незначительное потенциальное преимущество применения тканеспецифического матрикса по сравнению с биополимерным матриксом для создания тканевого эквивалента поджелудочной железы.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The culture of islets of Langerhans with bioscaffolds – extracellular matrix (ECM) mimetics – can provide a native microenvironment suitable for islets. This is one of the main conditions for creating a pancreatic tissue equivalent.</p><sec><title>Objective</title><p>Objective: to compare the secretory capacity of viable human pancreatic islets in monoculture (control group) and cultured in the presence of two bioscaffolds: biopolymer collagen-based hydrogel scaffold (experimental group 1) and tissue-specific scaffold from decellularized deceased donor pancreas (experimental group 2).</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. Islets of Langerhans were isolated from the caudal pancreas using a collagenase technique. The viability of cultured islets was accessed by vital fluorescence staining, while secretory capacity was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Pancreatic islets cultured with bioscaffolds showed no signs of degradation and fragmentation, they remained viable throughout the entire period of observation (7 days). The monoculture of islets showed significant destructive changes during this period. Basal insulin levels in experimental groups 1 and 2 increased by 18.8% and 39.5% on day 1 of culture compared to the control group, by 72.8% and 102.7% on day 4 of incubation, and by 146.4% and 174.6% on day 7, respectively. The insulin secretion level of islets with tissue-specific scaffolds was 17.4% higher than that when cultured with biopolymer collagen-based scaffolds.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Biopolymer and tissue-specific ECM mimetics contribute not only to preservation of the viability of isolated islets of Langerhans but also maintain their insulin secretion capacity for 7 days at a higher level in comparison with monoculture. The experiments revealed that the use of a tissue-specific scaffold for the creation of a pancreatic tissue equivalent has slight potential advantage over biopolymer scaffold.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>поджелудочная железа</kwd><kwd>культивирование островков Лангерганса</kwd><kwd>инсулинпродуцирующая функция</kwd><kwd>тканеспецифический матрикс</kwd><kwd>биополимерный матрик</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>pancreas</kwd><kwd>culture of the islets of Langerhans</kwd><kwd>insulin-producing function</kwd><kwd>tissue-specific scaffold</kwd><kwd>biopolymer scaffold</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Kumar N, Joisher H, Ganguly A.
