Abstract Summary (Please Copy and Paste no more than 200 words) :
Tissue engineering has been developing in recent years and seems to solve many medical problems in the future. Metabolic diabetes mellitus as the most serious metabolic disease in the world has various complications. The most effective treatment of type I diabetes seems to be islet cell transplantation. Shortage of donors and difficult procedures and high rate of rejection have restricted this approach. Endometrial stem cells as a lineage which have the potential to differentiate to mesodermal and endodermal tissues seem to be suitable for this purpose. After isolating stem cells from human endometrium, activin A and nicotinamid were used to differentiate them into pancreatic beta cells in 18days induction. Fibrin was used as 3D scaffold. After 2 weeks, cells formed clusters like islets cells, and secretion of insulin was measured by chemiluminescence. PDX1, proinsulin, glucagon and c-peptide as special markers of beta cells were detected by Real time PCR and immunofluorescence. The results showed higher levels of gene expression in 3D cultures. In conclusion, human EnSCs seem to be a promising cell source for differentiation to beta cells like those of the pancreas. This might be an effective progression in regenerative medicine to achieve effective treatment for diabetes mellitus.
