In order to produce insulin-secreting cells with a high value of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) from mouse embryonic stem cells, we have developed an optimized 5-stage protocol by referring to culture conditions so far reported elsewhere. This protocol is characterized by 4 points: (1) use of an activin-free medium in the first stage, (2) use of gelatin/fibronectin coated culture dishes in 1-4 stages throughout, (3) removal of undifferentiated cells by cell sorter at the end of 4th stage, and (4) sedimental culture in the 5th stage. GSIS value of the produced cells reached 2.4, that was at a higher rank of those so far reported. The produced cells were transplanted in diabetes model mice but no remedy effect was observed. Then transplantation was conducted in pre-diabetes model mice, in which GSIS was impaired without affecting insulin producing function. The transplantation of 5 × 10(6) cells resulted in a marked improvement of glucose tolerance within 20 days. This effect decreased but was still observed at 120 days post-transplantation. This demonstrates the feasibility of the novel optimized protocol.
