Abstract Identification of cell-surface markers specific to human pancreatic ß cells
would allow in vivo analysis and imaging. Here we introduce a biomarker,
ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-3 (NTPDase3), that is expressed
on the cell surface of essentially all adult human ß cells, including those from
individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. NTPDase3 is expressed dynamically
during postnatal human pancreas development, appearing first in acinar cells at
birth, but several months later its expression declines in acinar cells while
concurrently emerging in islet ß cells. Given its specificity and membrane
localization, we utilized an NTPDase3 antibody for purification of live human ß
cells as confirmed by transcriptional profiling, and, in addition, for in vivo
imaging of transplanted human ß cells. Thus, NTPDase3 is a cell-surface
biomarker of adult human ß cells, and the antibody directed to this protein
should be a useful new reagent for ß cell sorting, in vivo imaging, and
targeting.
