16) Cancers are hypoxic for two reasons: the capillaries in cancers are formed by a process known as neogenesis (the generation of new blood vessels), resulting in capillaries that have a tortuous configuration or distorted path providing less oxygen to the cells; and the metabolic processes requiring oxygen (the TCA cycle) has been shut down by the cancer itself to avoid destruction by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by mitochondria functioning under hypoxic conditions.
Thus, it can be speculated that ARIP cell is a useful in vitro model with which to study the mechanism of the insulin-producing cell regeneration/ neogenesis mediated by corresponding stimuli.
Consequently, interest exists in islet cell neogenesis from embryonic or mesenchymal stem cell as a possible cure for diabetes.
