Background The instant blood-mediated inflammatory response (IBMIR) has been shown as a major factor that causes damage to transplanted islets. Withaferin A (WA), an inhibitor of nuclear factor (NF) B, was shown to suppress the inflammatory response in islets and improve syngeneic islet graft survival in mice. We investigated how treating islets with NF-B inhibitors affected IBMIR using an in vitro human autologous blood islet model. Methods Human islets were pretreated with or without NF-B inhibitors WA or CAY10512 before mixing autologous blood in a miniaturized in vitro tube model. Plasma samples were collected at multiple time points and used for the measurement of C-peptide, proinsulin, thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) complex, and a panel of proinflammatory cytokines. Infiltration of neutrophils into islets was analyzed using immunohistochemistry. Results Rapid release of C-peptide and proinsulin was observed 3 hr after mixing islets and blood in the control group, but not in the NF-B inhibitor-treated groups, whereas TAT levels were elevated in all three groups with a peak at 6 hr. Significant elevation of proinflammatory cytokines was observed in the control group after 3 hr, but not in the treatment groups. Significant inhibition of neutrophil infiltration was also observed in the WA group compared with the control (P<0.001) and CAY10512 (P<0.001) groups. Conclusions A miniaturized in vitro tube model can be useful in investigating IBMIR. The presence of NF-B inhibitor could alleviate IBMIR, thus improving the survival of transplanted islets. Protection of islets in the peritransplant phase may improve long-term graft outcomes.
