Abstract

The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is a commonly used animal model for studying type 1 diabetes (T1D). The aims of our study were to explore the diabetes-preventive effect in NOD mice and the potential mechanisms of an optimized co-expression DNA vaccine containing GAD65 fragment gene with the IL-10 gene (SGAD65190-315 /IL-10). Female NOD mice at the age of 3-4 weeks old were randomly divided into two groups and received intra-muscular injection of either blank pBudCE4.l vector (n = 34) or pBudCE4.l carrying the SGAD65190-315 /IL-10 (n = 32). The incidence of diabetes was monitored up to 30 weeks of age. The severity of insulitis, apoptosis rate of β cells and relevant mechanisms were examined. Administration with SGAD65190-315 /IL-10 blocked the onset of autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice, significantly suppressed islet inflammation, inhibited the apoptosis of islet β cells, induced immune tolerance to autoantigen GAD65 and proinsulin and shifted the Th1/Th2 balance towards Th2. More importantly, the frequencies of CD4(+) CD25(+) Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the spleen and pancreatic lymph nodes in vaccine-immunized mice were significantly increased, and these Tregs were GAD65-reactive. In addition, Treg depletion by an...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.

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.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
