In the pathogenesis of autoimmune type 1 diabetes, the apoptosis receptor Fas appears de novo on the surface of insulin-producing beta-cells. Fas expression is thought to be induced by proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1beta, interferon-gamma (IFNgamma), and TNFalpha, released by islet-infiltrating mononuclear cells. To determine whether beta-cells can modulate their sensitivity to apoptosis at the level of Fas, we investigated the effect of Fas ligand (FasL) on surface expression of Fas in NIT-1 insulinoma cells from nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice prone to autoimmune diabetes and islet cells from NOD and nonautoimmune BALB/c mice. In NIT-1 insulinoma cells, Fas expression induced by the cytokine combination IL-1beta and IFNgamma was reduced in the presence of FasL, whereas in islet cells Fas expression was unaffected by FasL. The effect of FasL on NIT-1 cells was evident during and after the induction of Fas expression by IL-1beta and IFNgamma. Thus, FasL down-regulates cytokine-induced Fas expression in NOD mouse-derived NIT-1 cells, but not in NOD or BALB/c mouse islets. The ability of NIT-1 cells to down-regulate Fas receptor in response to ligation is similar to that of a variety of tumor cells, which may use this mechanism to escape destruction by cytotoxic T cells. Islets apparently cannot protect themselves against FasL-induced apoptosis by down-regulating the Fas receptor. Understanding how NIT-1 insulinoma cells down-regulate Fas receptor in response to ligation by FasL has therapeutic implications for protecting normal beta-cells in autoimmune type 1 diabetes. 相似文献

During the process of insulitis in the pathogenesis of type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, proinflammatory cytokines induce expression of the death receptor Fas on the surface of pancreatic beta-cells and thereby contribute to the enhanced susceptibility of beta-cells for apoptosis. The aim of this study was to compare cell-surface and intracellular Fas expression associated with cytokine-induced apoptosis in commonly used beta-cell models such as isolated islets and insulinoma lines derived from mouse and rat. The cell line NIT-1 responded to the interleukin (IL)-1beta+interferon (IFN)-gamma stimulus with translocation of Fas to the cell surface. Likewise, islet cells from non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice and BB/OK rats expressed increasing amounts of the Fas receptor on their surfaces after exposure to IL-1beta in combination with IFN-gamma and tumour necrosis factor-alpha. Moreover, islets obtained from BB/OK rats at an age near the onset of diabetes had an increased surface expression of Fas compared with young rats. In contrast, western blot analysis of cell lysates from cytokine-exposed islets and insulinoma cells revealed total Fas expression levels comparable to those of untreated controls. In conclusion, islets from BB/OK rats and NOD mice, in addition to NIT-1 insulinoma cells, responded to cytokine exposure with surface expression of the Fas receptor, whereas in cell lysates the levels of expression of Fas were found to be independent of cytokine exposure. Taken together, the findings indicate that cytokine-treated beta-cells might possess two pools of Fas protein, one of which is inducible by cytokines and accounts for surface Fas expression, whereas the other is constitutively expressed in cytoplasmic compartments. The underlying mechanisms, including possible interactions between these two sources of cellular Fas expression, need to be investigated in future studies. 相似文献

In the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes, evidence suggests that pancreatic beta cells are destroyed in part by apoptotic mechanisms. The precise mechanisms of beta cell destruction leading to diabetes remain unclear. The NOD mouse has been studied to gain insight into the cellular and molecular mediators of beta cell death, which are discussed in this review. Perforin, secreted by CD8(+) T cells, remains one of the only molecules confirmed to be implicated in beta cell death in the NOD mouse. There are many other molecules, including Fas ligand and cytokines such as interferon-gamma, interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, which may lead to beta cell destruction either directly or indirectly via regulation of toxic molecules such as nitric oxide. As beta cell death can occur in the absence of perforin, these other factors, in addition to other as yet unidentified factors, may be important in the development of diabetes. Effective protection of NOD mice from beta cell destruction may therefore require inhibition of multiple effector mechanisms. 相似文献

Glucocorticoids play a crucial role in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism and in the immune response, and can influence the development of diabetes in certain animal models including autoimmune type 1 diabetes in the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse. In these animals, the onset of destructive autoimmune pancreatic changes (insulitis) occurs at around 3 weeks of age. Moreover, the incidence of diabetes is significantly higher in females compared to males. However, the underlying mechanisms for this sex-specificity are unknown. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to examine the expression of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in pancreatic islets of Langerhans of the NOD mouse during the first 3 weeks of postnatal development. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine pancreatic GR expression and to identify insulin-secreting beta cells in postnatal (1-, 2-, and 3-week-old) NOD mice. Age-matched NOD.SCID mice (immunodeficient animals with the same NOD genetic background) were used as control animals. In both strains, regardless of sex or age, GR staining was found predominantly in the cytoplasm of beta cells but was also present in other cell types within the islets. At all ages, the percentage of islet cells containing GR was similar between male and female animals of the same strain. In control mice, the percentage of islet cells containing GR increased progressively from 80% at 1 week of age to 100% at 3 weeks of age. In marked contrast, in the NOD mice, the proportion of islets containing GR decreased from 95% at week 1 to only 60% at 3 weeks of age. We conclude that sex-specific differences in the incidence of diabetes are not associated with altered pancreatic GR expression in NOD mice during early postnatal development. However, the distinct and remarkable decrease in islet GR levels at 3 weeks of age may contribute to the onset of insulitis, and potentially to the ontology of diabetes in NOD mice, as a result of the loss of protective immunosuppressive effects of glucocorticoids. 相似文献

The nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse, in which major histocompatibility complex genes may be involved in the susceptibility to diabetes, has been developed as a model of autoimmune diabetes. The NOD mouse expresses I-A-encoded class II major histocompatibility complex antigens, which differ from those of other mouse haplotypes by the presence of a serine at position 57 of the A beta chain. Identifying islet autoantigens may help elucidate the role of class II antigens in the activation of autoreactive T cells and, thus, in the development of diabetes. We have detected autoantibodies directed against a 58-kDa islet cell antigen in NOD mice but not in other strains, including lupus-prone mice. Apart from insulin-secreting cells, the 58-kDa antigen was only found to be expressed by neuroblastoma cells and was identified as peripherin, an intermediate filament protein previously characterized in well-defined neuronal populations. This autoantigen cross-reacted with I-Anod class II antigens, suggesting that it may contribute to defective self-tolerance of islet beta cells in the NOD mouse. 相似文献

Spontaneous autoimmune diabetes in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice is the result of a CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell-dependent autoimmune process directed against the pancreatic beta cells. CD8(+) T cells play a critical role in the initiation and progression of diabetes, but the specificity and diversity of their antigenic repertoire remain unknown. Here, we define the structure of a peptide mimotope that elicits the proliferation, cytokine secretion, differentiation, and cytotoxicity of a diabetogenic H-2K(d)-restricted CD8(+) T cell specificity (NY8.3) that uses a T cell receptor alpha (TCRalpha) rearrangement frequently expressed by CD8(+) T cells propagated from the earliest insulitic lesions of NOD mice (Valpha17-Jalpha42 elements, often joined by the N-region sequence M-R-D/E). Stimulation of splenic CD8(+) T cells from single-chain 8. 3-TCRbeta-transgenic NOD mice with this mimotope leads to preferential expansion of T cells bearing an endogenously derived TCRalpha chain identical to the one used by their islet-associated CD8(+) T cells, which is also identical to the 8.3-TCRalpha sequence. Cytotoxicity assays using islet-derived CD8(+) T cell clones from nontransgenic NOD mice as effectors and peptide-pulsed H-2K(d)-transfected RMA-S cells as targets indicate that nearly half of the CD8(+) T cells recruited to islets in NOD mice specifically recognize the same peptide/H-2K(d) complex. This work demonstrates that beta cell-reactive CD8(+) T cells mount a prevalent response against a single peptide/MHC complex and provides one peptide ligand for CD8(+) T cells in autoimmune diabetes. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Somatostatin acts on five specific receptors (sst1-5) to elicit different biological functions. The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is an experimental model of type 1 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the islet expression of sst1-5 is affected during the development of diabetes in NOD mice, with insulitis accompanied by spontaneous hyperglycaemia. METHODS: By immunostaining for sst1-5 the expression and co-expression together with the four major islet hormones in pancreatic islets were investigated in female and male NOD mice at different stages of disease. The NOD related non-diabetic ICR mouse was also examined. RESULTS: The islet cells of diabetic NOD mice showed an increased islet cell expression of sst2-5 compared with normoglycaemic female NOD mice. This correlated to increasing age and extent of insulitis. Major findings from the co-expression investigations were that sst2 was expressed in a majority of beta-cells in the normoglycaemic NOD mice, but absent in the beta-cells in the diabetic NOD mice. A majority of the alpha-cells expressed sst2 and 5 in normoglycaemic and diabetic NOD mice. About 60% of delta-cells showed co-expression of sst4 and 5 in both normoglycaemic and diabetic NOD mice. 60% of pancreatic polypeptide (PP)-cells expressed sst4 in both groups. Insulitis was found to be accompanied by a down-regulation of sst in normoglycaemic animals. CONCLUSIONS: The difference in sst expression in the islets cells of diabetic mice may suggest either a contributing factor in the process leading to diabetes, or a defence response against ongoing beta-cell destruction. 相似文献

Fas ligand-mediated mechanisms are involved in autoimmune destruction of islet beta cells in non-obese diabetic mice 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Aims/hypothesis. A mechanism implicated in pancreatic islet beta-cell destruction in autoimmune diabetes is the binding of the Fas ligand
(FasL) on T cells to Fas receptors on beta cells, causing their destruction. Evidence for this mechanism is, however, controversial.
The aim of this study was to find whether the Fas ligand contributes to beta-cell death in autoimmune diabetes. Methods. We transplanted syngeneic islets under the renal capsule in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice and treated the mice with a neutralizing
monoclonal antibody to the Fas ligand. Survival of beta cells in islet grafts and phenotypes of graft-infiltrating cells were
investigated. Results. We found 58 % (7 of 12) of mice treated with anti-Fas ligand antibody were normoglycaemic at 30 days after islet transplantation
compared with none (0 of 9) of the mice treated with control antibody. Immunohistochemical analysis of islet grafts showed
that infiltration of leucocytes (CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, macrophages and neutrophils) and apoptosis of beta cells in the grafts was significantly decreased in mice treated
with anti-Fas ligand antibody. Expression of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin 1 alpha, tumour necrosis factor alpha
and interferon gamma) was not different in islet grafts of mice treated with anti-Fas ligand and control antibodies. Conclusion/interpretation. These findings indicate that Fas ligand-mediated mechanisms play a major part in promoting leucocytic infiltration of islets
and beta-cell destruction in autoimmune diabetes. [Diabetologia (2000) 43: 1149–1156]

Genetic analysis of autoimmune insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) has focused on genes controlling immune functions, with little investigation of innate susceptibility determinants expressed at the level of target beta cells. The Alloxan (AL) Resistant (R) Leiter (Lt) mouse strain, closely related to the IDDM-prone nonobese diabetic (NOD)/Lt strain, demonstrates the importance of such determinants. ALR mice are unusual in their high constitutive expression of molecules associated with dissipation of free-radical stress systemically and at the beta-cell level. ALR islets were found to be remarkably resistant to two different combinations of beta-cytotoxic cytokines (IL-1beta, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and IFN-gamma) that destroyed islets from the related NOD and alloxan-susceptible strains. The close MHC relatedness between the NOD and ALR strains (H2-Kd and H2-Ag7 identical) allowed us to examine whether ALR islet cells could survive autoimmune destruction by NOD-derived Kd-restricted diabetogenic cytotoxic T lymphocyte clones (AI4 and the insulin-reactive G9C8 clones). Both clones killed islet cells from all Kd-expressing strains except ALR. ALR resistance to diabetogenic immune systems was determined in vivo by means of adoptive transfer of the G9C8 clone or by chimerizing lethally irradiated ALR or reciprocal (ALR x NOD)F1 recipients with NOD bone marrow. In all in vivo systems, ALR and F1 female recipients of NOD marrow remained IDDM free; in contrast, all of the NOD recipients became diabetic. In conclusion, the ALR mouse presents a unique opportunity to identify dominant IDDM resistance determinants expressed at the beta cell level. 相似文献

Fas and Fas ligand expression in inflamed islets in pancreas sections of patients with recent-onset Type I diabetes mellitus 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0

Abstract
Aims/hypothesis. Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes results mainly from T-cell-mediated autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells.
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes destroy target cells via a perforin-based or Fas-based mechanism. Our previous study indicated that
the Fas-Fas ligand (FasL) pathway is required for the development of autoimmune diabetes in the NOD mouse. We now investigated
whether or not the Fas-FasL system is involved in the beta-cell destruction in human Type I diabetes. Methods. We immunohistochemically analysed pancreas biopsy specimens of 13 recent-onset patients. Results. Pancreatic islets were identified but showed various degrees of reduction in beta-cell volume in all patients. Out of 13
patients 6 had insulitis. In these 6 patients Fas was expressed in both the islets and infiltrating cells but not in either
cell type in the 7 other patients without insulitis. Double immunostaining showed that Fas was positive in 92.2 to 97.7 %
of beta cells but only in 17.6 to 46.7 % of alpha cells in Fas-positive, insulin-remaining islets. We found FasL was expressed
exclusively in islet-infiltrating cells in patients with insulitis. Double immunostaining revealed that the most prevalent
phenotype of FasL-positive cells was CD8, which was followed by macrophages and CD4. Conclusion/interpretation. The interaction between Fas on beta cells and FasL on infiltrating cells might trigger selective apoptotic beta-cell death
in inflamed islets, leading to immune-mediated Type I diabetes. [Diabetologia (1999) 42: 1332–1340]

Aims/hypothesis We have previously reported that fulminant type 1 diabetes is characterised by an absence of diabetes-related antibodies and a remarkably abrupt onset. However, little is known about the mechanism of beta cell destruction in this diabetes subtype, and to obtain insights into the aetiology of the disease, we investigated residual endocrine cells and the expression of Fas and Fas ligand in fulminant type 1 diabetes.Methods Residual beta and alpha cells were morphologically assessed in pancreatic tissue obtained by biopsy from five patients with recent-onset fulminant type 1 diabetes and five patients with recent-onset typical autoimmune type 1 diabetes. In addition, the expression of Fas and Fas ligand was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.Results In fulminant type 1 diabetes, beta and alpha cell areas were decreased significantly, compared with autoimmune type 1 diabetes and control subjects. In contrast, the alpha cell area was not decreased significantly in autoimmune type 1 diabetes, compared with that in control subjects. No Fas expression in islets and Fas ligand expression in CD3+ cells in the exocrine pancreas were found in the fulminant type 1 diabetic patients who underwent this evaluation.Conclusions/interpretation Our study showed that beta and alpha cells are damaged in fulminant type 1 diabetes. In addition to the lack of Fas and Fas ligand expression, the results suggest that the mechanism of beta cell destruction in fulminant type 1 diabetes is different from that in autoimmune type 1 diabetes. 相似文献

Particular major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II alleles clearly contribute to T cell-mediated autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D) in both humans and nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. However, studies in NOD mice indicate MHC class I-restricted T cell responses are also essential to T1D development. In humans, epidemiological studies have suggested that some common class I alleles, including HLA-A2.1 (A*02011), may confer increased susceptibility to T1D when expressed in conjunction with certain class II alleles. We show here that when HLA-A2.1 molecules are transgenically expressed in NOD mice, A2-restricted T cell responses arise against pancreatic beta cells, leading to an earlier onset of T1D. The accelerated onset of T1D in the NOD.HLA-A2.1 transgenic mice is not due to nonspecific effects of expressing a third class I molecule, because a stock of NOD mice transgenically expressing HLA-B27 class I molecules showed no such acceleration of T1D, but rather were significantly protected from disease. These findings provide the first functional evidence that certain human MHC class I molecules can contribute to the development of T1D. 相似文献

Before the onset of autoimmune destruction, type 1 diabetic patients and an animal model, the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse, show morphological and functional abnormalities in target organs, which may act as inciting events for leukocyte infiltration. To better understand these abnormalities, but without the complications associated with lymphocytic infiltrates, we examined genes expressed in autoimmune target tissues of NOD/severe combined immunodeficient (scid) mice and of autoimmune-resistant C57BL/6/scid mice. Our results suggest that the NOD genetic background may predispose them to diabetic complications, including insulin resistance in the absence of high circulating glucose levels and without autoimmune destruction of their beta cells. Several of these genes lie within known type 1 and 2 diabetes loci. These data suggest that the NOD mouse may be a good candidate to study an interface between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

Nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice spontaneously develop a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease that is similar in many respects to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in humans. NOD mice were shown to express major histocompatibility complex class I Kd and Db antigens. To examine the possible involvement of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules in the development of autoimmune insulitis, we attempted to express a different type of class I molecule in NOD mice by crossing C57BL/6 mice transgenic for the class I Ld gene with NOD mice. The backcross progeny expressed the Ld antigen on the peripheral blood lymphocytes at a level comparable with that of the BALB/c mice. The cell surface expression of endogenous class I and class II antigens on the peripheral blood lymphocytes was not affected. Analysis of these mice revealed that the expression of the class I Ld antigen significantly reduced the incidence of insulitis at 20 weeks of age. In situ hybridization of a biotinylated probe on mouse chromosomes showed that the Ld transgene was located in the E area of chromosome 6 with which no genetic linkage to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus was demonstrated. These results suggest that the NOD-type class I molecules are involved in the development of insulitis in NOD mice. 相似文献

Abstract
Aims/hypothesis. Testicular Sertoli cells protect allogeneic islet grafts from rejection after transplantation into animals with chemically
induced diabetes. The aims of this study were to determine whether Sertoli cells can protect syngeneic islets from autoimmune
destruction after transplantation into non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice and, if so, whether protection is due to Sertoli cell
expression of Fas ligand (FasL), believed to be the mechanism that protects against allograft rejection.?Methods. We compared the survival of syngeneic islets transplanted under the renal capsule of non-obese diabetic mice, alone and
together with purified Sertoli cells prepared from testes of newborn non-obese diabetic mice. Additionally, we examined the
composition of the islet and Sertoli cell co-transplants by immunohistochemistry to determine whether islet graft survival
correlated with Sertoli cell expression of Fas ligand.?Results. Sertoli cell doses of 1, 2 and 4 × 106 cells produced a dose-dependent prolongation of median islet graft survival from 11 days (islets alone) to 32 days (islets
+ 4 × 106 Sertoli cells); addition of 8 × 106 Sertoli cells to the islet grafts decreased, however, median survival to 8 days. Immunohistochemical analysis of the islet
and Sertoli cell co-transplants showed a correlation between Fas ligand expression by Sertoli cells and graft infiltration
by neutrophilic leucocytes, leading to islet beta-cell destruction and diabetes recurrence.?Conclusion/interpretation. Sertoli cells exert opposing effects on survival of syngeneic islet grafts in non-obese diabetic mice: Fas ligand-dependent
neutrophil infiltration and graft destruction, and Fas ligand-independent protection of the graft from autoimmune destruction.

Type 1 diabetes in both humans and nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice results from autoreactive T cell destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. Cure of type 1 diabetes may require both reversal of autoimmunity and regeneration of beta cells. Induction of chimerism via allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation has been shown to reestablish tolerance in both prediabetic and diabetic NOD mice. However, it is unclear whether this therapy augments beta cell regeneration. Furthermore, this procedure usually requires total body irradiation conditioning of recipients. The toxicity of total body irradiation conditioning and potential for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) limit the application of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for treating type 1 diabetes. Here we report that injection of donor bone marrow and CD4+ T cell-depleted spleen cells induced chimerism without causing GVHD in overtly diabetic NOD mice conditioned with anti-CD3/CD8 and that induction of chimerism in new-onset diabetic NOD mice led to elimination of insulitis, regeneration of host beta cells, and reversal of hyperglycemia. Therefore, this radiation-free GVHD preventive approach for induction of chimerism may represent a viable means for reversing type 1 diabetes. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Complete Freund''s Adjuvant (CFA) is known to arrest autoimmune diabetes development in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. However, CFA alone cannot induce effective remission in diabetic NOD mice. Previously, we reported that anti-CXC chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) antibody can promote beta-cell proliferation in NOD mice. In the present study, we aimed to examine whether anti-CXCL10 plus CFA treatment can effectively reverse autoimmune diabetes development. METHODS: Systemic supply of anti-CXCL10 antibody by CXCL10 DNA vaccination in combination with CFA injection was performed in new-onset diabetic NOD mice. Remission rate of diabetes, histological characteristics of residual insulitis lesions, residual beta-cell mass, and regulatory T cell population in local pancreas were examined. RESULTS: A high frequency of diabetes reversal was observed after combination treatment with anti-CXCL10 plus CFA. In mice showing diabetes reversal, residual beta-cell mass was significantly increased, and some beta-cells were in a proliferative state. Although systemic cytokine profiles were unaffected, the frequency of "hybrid regulatory T cells", i.e. regulatory T cells expressing CXCR3, was significantly increased in local pancreatic lesions. This was possibly associated with the regulation of anti-islet autoimmunity. CONCLUSIONS: Anti-CXCL10 plus appropriate immune adjuvant therapy arrested, and reversed, type 1 diabetes development. 相似文献

The role of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diabetes mellitus was tested in the nonobese mouse (NOD) model system. The effects of TNF-alpha were assessed on three levels: (i) insulitis development, (ii) development of overt diabetes, (iii) adoptive transfer of diabetes by splenic lymphocytes. Spontaneous diabetes mellitus was blocked in NOD mice by long-term treatment with recombinant TNF-alpha. Treatment with TNF-alpha caused a significant reduction in the lymphocytic infiltration associated with the destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells. Class II major histocompatibility complex Ia expression by islet cells was not up-regulated by TNF-alpha. Moreover, TNF-alpha was able to suppress the induction of diabetes in adoptive transfer of lymphocytes from diabetic female mice to young nondiabetic male NOD mice. These activities of TNF-alpha were shared by interleukin 1 alpha in this system. These studies have implications for the pathogenesis and therapy of autoimmune diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

Type 1 diabetes in both humans and nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice results from T-cell-mediated autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. Linkage studies have shown that type 1 diabetes in NOD mice is a polygenic disease involving more than 15 chromosomal susceptibility regions. Despite extensive investigation, the identification of individual susceptibility genes either within or outside the major histocompatibility complex region has proven problematic because of the limitations of linkage analysis. In this paper, we provide evidence implicating a single diabetes susceptibility gene, which lies outside the major histocompatibility complex region. Using allelic reconstitution by transgenic rescue, we show that NOD mice expressing the beta(2) microglobulin (beta(2)M)(a) allele develop diabetes, whereas NOD mice expressing a murine beta(2)M(b) or human allele are protected. The murine beta(2)M(a) allele differs from the beta(2)M(b) allele only at a single amino acid. Mechanistic studies indicate that the absence of the NOD beta(2)M(a) isoform on nonhematopoietic cells inhibits the development or activation of diabetogenic T cells. 相似文献
