Diabetic Device Replaces Injections || Regulates Insulin
One promising approach to treating Type 1 diabetes is implanting pancreatic islet cells that can produce insulin when needed, which can free patients from giving themselves frequent insulin injections. However, one major obstacle to this approach is that once the cells are implanted, they eventually run out of oxygen and stop producing insulin.
To overcome that hurdle, MIT engineers have designed a new implantable device that not only carries hundreds of thousands of insulin-producing islet cells, but also has its own on-board oxygen factory, which generates oxygen by splitting water vapor found in the body.
The researchers showed that when implanted into diabetic mice, this device could keep the mice's blood glucose levels stable for at least a month. The researchers now hope to create a larger version of the device, about the size of a stick of chewing gum, that could eventually be tested in people with Type 1 diabetes.
"You can think of this as a living medical device that is made from human cells that secrete insulin, along with an electronic life support-system. We're excited by the progress so far, and we really are optimistic that this technology could end up helping patients," says Daniel Anderson, a professor in MIT's Department of Chemical Engineering, a member of MIT's Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research and Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES), and the senior author of the study.
While the researchers' main focus is on diabetes treatment, they say that this kind of device could also be adapted to treat other diseases that require repeated delivery of therapeutic proteins.
MIT Research Scientist Siddharth Krishnan is the lead author of the paper, which appears today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research team also includes several other researchers from MIT, including Robert Langer, the David H. Koch Institute Professor at MIT and a member of the Koch Institute, as well as researchers from Boston Children's Hospital.
Replacing injections
Most patients with Type 1 diabetes have to monitor their blood glucose levels carefully and inject themselves with insulin at least once a day. However, this process doesn't replicate the body's natural ability to control blood glucose levels.
"The vast majority of diabetics that are insulin-dependent are injecting themselves with insulin, and doing their very best, but they do not have healthy blood sugar levels," Anderson says. "If you look at their blood sugar levels, even for people that are very dedicated to being careful, they just can't match what a living pancreas can do."
A better alternative would be to transplant cells that produce insulin whenever they detect surges in the patient's blood glucose levels. Some diabetes patients have received transplanted islet cells from human cadavers, which can achieve long-term control of diabetes; however, these patients have to take immunosuppressive drugs to prevent their body from rejecting the implanted cells.
More recently, researchers have shown similar success with islet cells derived from stem cells, but patients who receive those cells also need to take immunosuppressive drugs.
Another possibility, which could prevent the need for immunosuppressive drugs, is to encapsulate the transplanted cells within a flexible device that protects the cells from the immune system. However, finding a reliable oxygen supply for these encapsulated cells has proven challenging.
Some experimental devices, including one that has been tested in clinical trials, feature an oxygen chamber that can supply the cells, but this chamber needs to be reloaded periodically. Other researchers have developed implants that include chemical reagents that can generate oxygen, but these also run out eventually.
The MIT team took a different approach that could potentially generate oxygen indefinitely, by splitting water. This is done using a proton-exchange membrane -- a technology originally deployed to generate hydrogen in fuel cells -- located within the device. This membrane can split water vapor (found abundantly in the body) into hydrogen, which diffuses harmlessly away, and oxygen, which goes into a storage chamber that feeds the islet cells through a thin, oxygen-permeable membrane.
A significant advantage of this approach is that it does not require any wires or batteries. Splitting this water vapor requires a small voltage (about 2 volts), which is generated using a phenomenon known as resonant inductive coupling. A tuned magnetic coil located outside the body transmits power to a small, flexible antenna within the device, allowing for wireless power transfer. It does require an external coil, which the researchers anticipate could be worn as a patch on the patient's skin.

Using Sound Waves Clear The Arteries || Increase Blood Flow With Sound
Intravascular lithotripsy is a procedure that involves using sound waves to break up and remove calcium deposits and other hard substances within the blood vessels of a patient. It is a minimally-invasive procedure used to treat calcified and hard plaque that has built up in the arteries. The procedure typically requires the use of a special device known as an intravascular lithotripsy catheter, which is inserted into the artery or vein where the deposits are located. Once in place, the catheter delivers sound waves that break up the deposits, making them small enough to be more easily removed by another device, such as a wire basket. It has the potential to reduce the risk of certain types of heart attacks and strokes. This procedure can be beneficial for patients who suffer from blockages that cannot be removed with standard methods such as angioplasty. There is shorter recovery time involved compared to traditional sugeries.

Colorado Buffalo Stamp Out Obesity || CU Researchers Discover New Obesity Treatment
Following up on a 2018 study that identified an epigenetic modifier known as histone deacetylase 11 (HDAC11) as a potential therapeutic target for treating obesity and diabetes, researchers have published new research that finds HDAC11 regulates G protein-coupled receptors.

FULL STORY
Following up on a 2018 study that identified an epigenetic modifier known as histone deacetylase 11 (HDAC11) as a potential therapeutic target for treating obesity and diabetes, researchers from the University of Colorado School of Medicine have published new research that finds HDAC11 regulates G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) called beta-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs).
The details of the study are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), the official journal of the National Academy of Sciences.
Lead author of the study, Rushita Bagchi, PhD, is now a faculty member at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and was previously a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Timothy McKinsey, PhD (on Twitter @McKinseyLab), professor of medicine in the Division of Cardiology, who is the corresponding author of the article. Both are part of the Consortium for Fibrosis Research & Translation, a program funded by the CU School of Medicine to improve understanding of fibrotic diseases across various organ systems.
The scientists originally studied the biological function of HDAC11, a lysine demyristoylase enzyme, and determined that deleting it in animal models stimulates the formation of brown adipose tissue (BAT). The absence of HDAC11 also triggered "beiging," turning white adipose tissue (WAT) into brown-like adipose tissue. BAT and beige WAT are unique forms of fat that are stimulated in response to cold temperature. BAT and beige WAT produce heat, and in so doing, burn calories. From a therapeutic perspective, there is intense interest in developing drugs that activate BAT or convert normal WAT into beige WAT as a means of triggering weight loss in the context of obesity and diabetes. One approach to doing this is to stimulate β2- and β3--ARs. However, drugs targeting these GPCRs have underperformed as anti-obesity therapies in the clinic, perhaps due to the high doses required, which can cause cardiovascular side effects.
"Our new research shows that inhibiting HDAC11 promotes β-AR signaling in fat cells through a previously unrecognized mechanism called lysine myristoylation," McKinsey says. "The findings lay the foundation for developing therapeutics for obesity and diabetes based on enhancing GPCR signaling in adipose tissue by inhibiting HDAC11. Reversible lysine myristoylation is a very unique mechanism that has never been described for the regulation of a GPCR. Given the critical roles of β-ARs in various physiological and pathophysiological processes, we think this work will be of interest to a broad audience, and has great potential for clinical translation."
"Before taking anything like this into the clinic, there's a lot of additional work that needs to be done at the bench," Bagchi adds. "This paper describes only the second myristoylated substrate of HDAC11. There are likely many more proteins that are substrates for HDAC11, and thus, we are at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to understanding the biological consequences and the therapeutic potential of inhibiting this fascinating demyristoylase."
