A common stromal cell-derived factor-1 chemokine gene variant is associated with the early onset of type 1 diabetes

Abstract

Type 1 diabetes results from the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta-cells. Although the disease shows a strong association with HLA class II alleles, other genes may influence the initiation or the rate of progression of the autoimmune process. The recruitment of mononuclear cells within the islets of Langerhans is a critical step in the pathogenesis of the disease. Because chemokines are cytokines that promote migration of mononuclear cells, we hypothesized that polymorphisms in chemokine receptor or chemokine genes, CCR5 and SDF1, may be involved in susceptibility to or clinical expression of type 1 diabetes. The frequencies of the CCR5-delta32 and SDF1-3'A (801G-->A in the 3' untranslated region) variants were similar in 208 unrelated Caucasian patients with type 1 diabetes and in 120 Caucasian control subjects. They were not modified after stratification for the predisposing HLA-DR3 and -DR4 haplotypes. However, the SDF1-3'A variant was strongly associated with early onset (< 15 years) of the disease (odds ratio 2.6, P = 0.0019). On average, the presence of the SDF1-3'A allele was associated with a 5-year reduction in the age at onset of diabetes (P = 0.0067). Our results suggest that stromal cell-derived factor-1 ma...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diabetes & Tolerance

Patients with type I diabetes lack insulin-producing beta cells due to the loss of immunological tolerance and autoimmune disease. Discover the latest research on targeting tolerance to prevent diabetes.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
