Requirements for viral-mediated autoimmune diabetes: beta-cell damage and immune infiltration

Journal of Autoimmunity
Marc S HorwitzNora Sarvetnick

Abstract

The induction of autoimmunity by viruses has been attributed to numerous mechanisms. Coxsackievirus B4 (CB4) induces insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in mice resembling the final step of disease progression in humans. Following viral infection, autoreactive lymphocytes are activated through exposure to damaged islets consequently precipitating IDDM. However, the viral and host requirements leading up to this final step have yet to be elucidated. We provide evidence that disease induction requires a pre-existing accumulation of beta-cell specific autoreactive T cells within the pancreas, as well as the infection of islet beta-cells. Therefore, the primary role of CB4 in the development of IDDM is to infect tissue, resulting in the presentation of sequestered islet antigen, the stimulation of preexisting autoreactive T cells, and the initiation of disease.

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.

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.
