Investigate and correlate pancreatic morphometric alterations with glomerular pathogenesis in patients with type II diabetes. 2. Establish a set of pancreatic histological criteria associated with the progression of type II diabetes. Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) is a progressive disease caused by pathologic glycation to the renal glomerulus. The progression of DN is clinically recognized by the Renal Pathology Society, DN class I-IV. (Table 1, Figure 1). . In the pancreas, beta cell deficits and morphological alterations have been observed and documented across the diabetic population, however, no morphometric classification cataloguing the stepwise changes, or histological documentation correlating glomerular and pancreatic diabetic pathologies, exists.

Figure 3. 91 Autopsy Samples Pancreaticand renal tissues collected post-mortem (COMIRB #16-1337). 75 cases diagnosed type II diabetic pre-mortem. 16 cases void of clinical, laboratorial and histological diabeticdiagnosis. Pancreatictissue samples stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) for histological visualization(Figure 2). Renal tissue samples stained with Periotic Acid Schiff (PAS) for visualizationof GBM (Figure 3). Renal Imaging Renal cortex glomeruli assessed for GBM and mesangial pathogenesis with light microscopy usingDN classification. 10 glomeruli from each sample examined. (Figure 4). Renal Analysis Pancreatic Analysis Pancreatic Imaging Aperio Digital pathology scanner captured digital images @40x (Figure 6A). Raw Pancreatic image analyzed for: islet count, islet size, islet area, adipose area, total pancreatic area (Figure 6B-C). Renal tissues staged DN I- IV, using glomerular classification of diabetic nephropathy (Figure 5). Each sample assessed independently ofmatched pancreatic sample. Matched pancreatic samples were assessed for alterations in total adipose area and total islet area (Figure 7A-C). Analyzed pancreatic samples were organized into matched renal DN groupings and examined for pathogenic correlations throughout DN progression. ISLET: At the onset of DN, diabetic samples exhibit an approximate 33% decrease in pancreatic islet area. Advanced DN classes exhibit relatively static and depleted total islet area, statistically differentiated from islet area in healthy samples. Altered pancreatic islet area is thus a valid predictor of DN, however islet area is not a valid measure of DN progression. Islet area follows the generalized trend; slightly increased islet area through DN class IIa – IIb followed by attenuated decrease in total islet area through DN class III-IV (Figure 8A). ADIPOSE: At the onset of DN, diabetic samples exhibit an approximate 20% increase in pancreatic adipose area. Advanced DN classes exhibit no further correlation with pancreatic adipose area alterations. Pancreatic adipose area is not a valid measure for prediction of type II diabetes disease progression or DN class (Figure 8B) . C.

Apparent amyloid infiltration of pancreatic islet Pancreatic islet with lymphocytic infiltration Conclusions Discussion/Future Directions ISLET AMYLOID COMPOSITION At the onset of Diabetic Nephropathy, class I: Area of pancreatic islets significantly decreases Intrapancreatic adipose composition significantly increases Islet area remains static throughout DN progression BETA CELL DYSFUNCTION AND GLYCATION Islet beta cells are responsible for insulin production in response to metabolic demand (Figure 9A). Chronic hyperglycemia stresses beta cells, leading to beta cell apoptosis, depleted insulin production and prolonged hyperglycemia. Insulin insensitive cells, such as renal mesangial cells, are acutely sensitive to hyperglycemia. Intracellular hyperglycemia promotes pathologic glycation of renal mesangial cells, visualized histologically as advancing DN. Pancreatic islet area is not an indicative measure of beta cell function. To better assess beta cell functionality, immunostaining must be employed in future analyses. INFLAMMATION AND DIABETES Chronic hyperglycemia stresses beta cells, and signals for the production of inflammatory factors The inflammatory response favors apoptotic processes, promoting beta cell death. Subsequent lymphatic invasion is likely associated with the removal of apoptotic beta cells (Figure 9C). Pancreatic islets with lymphoid infiltration have aberrant function and altered morphology. Immunostaining used to visualize functional beta cells, would provide insight to better understand the role of inflammation in the pancreatic pathogenesis of type II diabetes. Amyloid deposits in the islets, can form large masses and completely remodel islet morphology (Figure 9B). Amyloid deposition is an intracellular process which induces beta cell apoptosis. Loss of beta cell mass leads to deficient insulin production, inappropriate glucose metabolism, and aberrant glycation. Pancreatic islets with apparent amyloid infiltration were included in measured islet area. Amyloid infiltration renders beta cells non-functional, thus to assess islet functionality Congo red stain must be used to quantify amyloid in the islet.
