Abstract

The destruction of beta cells by the islet infiltrating lymphocytes causes type 1 diabetes. Transgenic mice models expressing interferon (IFN)-beta in beta cells, in the non-obese diabetic (NOD) strain and in a diabetes-free, major histocompatibility complex-matched, homologous strain, the non-obese resistant (NOR) mice, developed accelerated type 1 diabetes after 3 weeks of age. Our aim was to determine if natural killer (NK) cells could affect the acceleration of the disease. We determined the amount of NK cells in the pancreas, spleen and lymph nodes from NOD rat insulin promoter (RIP)-IFN-beta mice. Pancreatic cytokines were assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and protein arrays. To confirm the relevance of NK cells in the acceleration of autoimmune diabetes this subset was depleted with anti-asialo GM1 antibodies. An increase of intrapancreatic NK cells characterized the accelerated onset of diabetes both in NOD and NOR RIP-IFN-beta transgenic models. Cytokines involved in NK function and migration were found to be hyperexpressed in the pancreas from accelerated diabetic mice. Interestingly, the depletion of NK cells in vivo abolished completely the acceleration of diabetes. NK cells connect innate...Continue Reading

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.

Cancer Biology: Molecular Imaging

Molecular imaging enables noninvasive imaging of key molecules that are crucial to tumor biology. Discover the latest research in molecular imaging in cancer biology in this feed.

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.
