The present disclosure is generally directed to the use of biomaterial scaffolds engineered with SA-FasL for the transplantation of stem cell derived β-cells as a treatment for Type I diabetes. Early engraftment post-transplantation and subsequent maturation of these β-cells may be limited by the initial inflammatory response, which impacts the ability to sustain normoglycemia at long times. The survival and development of immature hPSC-derived β-cells transplanted on poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) microporous scaffolds into the peritoneal fat, a site being considered for clinical translation, was investigated. The scaffolds were modified with biotin for binding of a streptavidin-FasL (SAFasL) chimeric protein to modulate the local inflammatory microenvironment. The presence of FasL impacted infiltration of monocytes and neutrophils and altered their phenotypic response. Conditioned media generated from scaffolds explanted at day 4 did not impact hPSC-derived β-cell survival and maturation in vitro, which was not observed with unmodified scaffolds. Following transplantation, β-cell viability and differentiation were improved with SA-FasL modification. A sustained increase in insulin positive cell ratio was observed with SA-FasL modified relative to unmodified scaffolds. These results demonstrate that SA-FasL-modified scaffolds can mitigate initial inflammatory response and enhance β-cell engraftment and differentiation.

The present invention belongs to the technical fields of protein and genetic engineering. Specifically, it discloses the use of erythropoietin-producing hepatocyte receptor B4 as a target in screening and preparing biological agents or drugs for increasing insulin sensitivity. It also discloses the use of erythropoietin-producing hepatocyte receptor B4 in generating an insulin-sensitized mouse model.
