Introduction To overcome the shortcomings of pancreas transplantation and insulin injection treatment for type I diabetes, biocompatible materials were used to prepare alginate-chitosan-alginate microcapsules that co-encapsulated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and mouse pancreatic β cells to treat diabetic mice. Methods Blank alginate-chitosan-alginate (ACA) microcapsules and co-microencapsulated cells were prepared using a high-voltage electrostatic method and then characterized using an inverted microscope. Cell viability was evaluated using AO/EB staining. ELISA kit was used to detect insulin secretion. Peri-orbital blood samples were obtained from the mice for blood glucose determination every week for one month. Results After 28 days of in vitro culture, the secretion of insulin following co-microencapsulation was higher than that observed for microencapsulated beta-TC-6 cells alone. On the 28th day after transplantation, the blood glucose level was 6.86 mmol/L in the microencapsulated beta-TC-6 group. On the 14th day, the blood glucose level was 6.80 mmol/L in the co-microencapsulated BMSC/beta-TC-6 group, which was close to the normal blood glucose level of healthy mice. These results indicated that the efficacy in reducing blood glucose was better in the co-microencapsulated BMSC/beta-TC-6 group. Conclusions This primary study indicated that combining microencapsulation technology and co-culture of stem cells and somatic cells shows promise for the treatment of type I diabetes mellitus.
