• dispersed beta cells are significantly more susceptible to apoptosis at basal glucose concentrations than wild-type islets
• however, no significant differences are noted at high glucose (25 mM) or Ca2+ stress
|
• islet isolation procedures generate very few islets (always <100) from heterozygotes compared with wild-type mice (almost always >200 islets)
• isolated heterozygous islets appear fragmented and slightly smaller than wild-type
• in vivo, heterozygotes show a striking disruption of islet architecture and expansion of islet microvasculature at 3 months; however, even at 12 months, some heterozygous islets show no signs of damage or apoptosis

|
• in heterozygotes, beta cell mass fails to increase with age and is ~50% less than wild-type by 12 months
• reduced beta cell mass is mirrored by a lower pancreatic insulin content in older mice and can be explained by a reduced number of functional islets, rather than a reduction in insulin stored in single beta cells
|
• perfused pancreata from heterozygous males display attenuated first-phase insulin secretion in response to a stepwise increase in glucose concentration from 5 mM to 20 mM glucose
• mutant pancreata show a reduced insulin release in response to 20 mM KCl; in the continued presence of 26 mM glucose, the large response to 20 mM arginine is also reduced

• glucose sensing and islet Ca2+ responses are normal in large, intact heterozygous mutant islets
|
• at 12 months, older heterozygotes exhibit infiltration of lymphocytes (some TUNEL-positive) within or around islets
• immunofluorescent localization of Ki67 nuclear antigen indicates proliferation of lymphocytes within these islets
