The present application relates to the field of
biotechnology, in particular to a preparation method of sound-sensitive
stem cell-derived beta functional cells and application thereof. The preparation method provided by the present application introduces a
prokaryote-derived engineered mechanosensitive
ion channel MscL-G22S into human pluripotent stem cells, and combines with a directional differentiation technology to obtain pancreatic
islet beta-like cells with ultrasonic response function. The
cell product not only has a natural glucose-dependent
insulin secretion capacity, but also has an additional function of being activated by low-intensity
focused ultrasound in a non-invasive manner through the introduction of an exogenous
ion channel. This double regulation mechanism significantly improves the functional maturity and
response sensitivity of the transplanted cells
in vivo, and can achieve a better blood
glucose control effect under the same number of cells, thereby providing a technical possibility for reducing the amount of transplanted cells, reducing the volume of transplanted cells and expanding the transplanted site, and being suitable for popularization and application.
