Official title:
Assessment of Pancreatic Beta Cell Mass and Function With the Aid of Positron Emission Tomography Imaging in Human Diabetes Mellitus
The goals of this project are to build an experimental tool to dissect out in vivo pancreatic beta cell mass (BCM) and beta cell function (BCF) and to assess for the first time these two determinants of beta cell functional mass (BCFxM) in obesity and in various stages of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Pancreatic beta cell functional mass (BCFxM) can be loosely defined as the product of beta cell mass (BCM) multiplied by beta cell function (BCF). Current in vivo methods (e.g. hyperglycemic clamp, intravenous glucose tolerance test, oral glucose tolerance test, mixed meal tolerance test) actually assess BCFxM, not beta cell function per se. Loss of BCFxM is at the heart of the etiology and pathogenesis of both type 1 (2) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the former, destruction of beta cell mass by autoimmune insulitis is the the primary determinant of BCFxM loss. In the latter, beta cell mass loss is about 25-35% and keeps increasing with the duration of the disease, but an additional key role is played by the loss of beta cell function. Previous dogma held that in type 1 diabetes complete destruction of beta cells was achieved within ≈5 years from diagnosis. Recent data have challenged this concept and shown that residues of both beta cells and BCFxM (i.e. nutrient-stimulated C-peptide secretion, which is equimolar and simultaneous to insulin secretion and is a much better biomarker of BCFxM than insulin concentration) are detectable even decades after diagnosis. Exendin-4 has been already labeled with a positron emitting nuclide and made amenable to PET imaging for diagnostic purposes. Under rigorous experimental conditions, beta cell standardized uptake per volume (SUV) of the ligand could be assessed. Furthermore, current PET-CT instruments can also provide a measure of pancreatic volume BCFxM can be determined accurately by mathematical modeling of relatively simple tests, such as a mixed meal. The investigators will assess the relative roles of beta cell mass (BCM) and beta cell function (BCF) in two polar BCFxM groups : people with long-standing type 1 diabetes (close to 0 BCFxM) and obese people with normal glucose regulation (highest expected BCFxM), i.e. the investigators will test our method in a negative control (type 1 diabetes) and in a strongly positive control (uncomplicated obesity). A group of lean controls will be studied to ascertain that their BCMs, as determined by 68GA-exendin-4 PET-CT, fall, as they should, in the intermediate range between type 1 diabetes and obesity. ;
