The use of University of Wisconsin (UW) preservation solution in islet transplantation has some disadvantages, including inhibition of collagenase activity for pancreatic digestion. Histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution has demonstrated an efficacy similar to UW solution for organ preservation in clinical pancreas transplantation. Recently, we reported that islet yield from porcine pancreata was significantly gtreater when they were preserved using M-Kyoto solution compared with UW solution. Here, we compared HTK solution with ulinastatin (M-HTK) and M-Kyoto solution for islet yield. In porcine islet isolation, islet yield after purification was significantly greater in the M-Kyoto/perfluorochemical (PFC) group compared with the M-HTK/PFC group. The M-Kyoto/PFC group had a significantly lower ADP/ATP ratio compared with the M-HTK/PFC group, suggesting that different islet yields might be due to the differences as energy sources of the solutions used. In conclusion, M-Kyoto/PFC solution is better for pancreas preservation before islet isolation than M-HTK/PFC solution.

Preserving isolated islets at low temperature appears attractive because it can keep islet quantity comparable to freshly isolated islets. In this study, we evaluated the effect of serum as an additive to preservation solutions on islet quality after short-term hypothermic storage. Isolated mouse islets were preserved at 4°C in University of Wisconsin solution (UW) alone, UW with serum, M-Kyoto solution (MK) alone or MK with serum.

Obtaining viable islets is a crucial step for successful islet transplantation. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a marker of cell viability. However, little is known about any changes in the energy status of the tissues that are being digested during the digestion phase.

Since the successful demonstration of the Edmonton protocol, islet transplantation has advanced significantly on several fronts, including improved pancreas preservation systems. In this study, we evaluated two different types of organ preservation solutions for human islet isolation. Modified Celsior (Celsior solution with hydroxyethyl starch and nafamostat mesilate; HNC) solution and modified Kyoto (MK) solution were compared for pancreas preservation prior to islet isolation.

Since the Edmonton Protocol was announced, more than 600 patients with type 1 diabetes at more than 50 institutions have received islet transplantation to treat their disease. We recently established a new islet isolation protocol, called the Kyoto Islet Isolation Method, based on the Ricordi method. It includes an in-situ cooling system for pancreas procurement, pancreatic ductal protection, a modified two-layer (M-Kyoto /perfluorochemical [PFC]) method of pancreas preservation, and a new islet purification solution (Iodixanol-based solution).

For islet transplantation, it is important to obtain an available islet mass adequate for diabetes reversal from a single donor pancreas. A recent report demonstrated that the use of M-Kyoto solution instead of UW solution improved islet yields in the two-layer method for pancreas preservation. The present study investigated whether the ductal injection of a large volume of preservation solution (UW and M-Kyoto solution) before pancreas storage improves islet yields.
