We investigated the metabolic and genetic basis of diabetes in the Cohen Diabetic rat, a model of diet-induced diabetes, as a means to identify the molecular mechanisms involved. By altering individual components in the diabetogenic diet, we established that the dietary susceptibility that leads to the development of diabetes in this model is directly related to the high casein and low copper c...
Antigen-specific immunotherapy of type 1 diabetes, typically via delivery of a single native β cell antigen, has had little clinical benefit to date. With increasing evidence that diabetogenic T cells react against multiple β cell antigens, including previously unappreciated neo-antigens that can be emulated by mimotopes, a shift from protein- to epitope-based therapy is warranted. To this end,...
NOD mice spontaneously develop insulin-dependent diabetes around 10-40 wk of age. Numerous immune gene variants contribute to the autoimmune process. However, genes that direct the autoimmune response toward β cells remain ill defined. In this study, we provide evidence that the Icos and Icosl genes contribute to the diabetes process. Protection from diabetes in ICOS(-/-) and ICOSL(-/-) NOD mic...
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by the destruction of insulin-producing islet beta cells. CD8 T cells are prevalent in the islets of T1D patients and are the major effectors of beta cell destruction in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. In addition to their critical involvement in the late stages of diabetes, CD8 T cells are implicated in the initiation of disease. NOD mice, in which the beta2-micro...
The diabetogenic activity of benzothiadiazine drugs has been well established (2). Diazoxide 1 is an antihypertensive agent with potent hyperglycemic activity, particularly when used in combination with trichlormethiazide 2 (3-5). The mode of action by which these compounds exert a temporary diabetogenic effect has not been established. It has been suggested by some that diazoxide-induced hyper...
Insulin-dependent diabetes (type 1 diabetes) in the NOD mouse is a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease. However, B-cells may also play a critical role in disease pathogenesis, as genetically B-cell-deficient NOD mice (NOD.microMT) have been shown to be protected from type 1 diabetes and to display reduced responses to certain islet autoantigens. To examine the requirements for B-cells in the dev...
Obesity-driven type 2 diabetes (diabesity) involves complex genetic and environmental interactions to trigger disease. Here, we combine variable numbers of known quantitative trait loci (QTL) for obesity and diabetes contributed by New Zealand Obese (NZO/HlLt) and Nonobese Nondiabetic (NON/Lt) strains in the form of 10 interval-directed recombinant congenic strains (RCS), with NON/Lt as the bac...
The rise in type 1 diabetes (T1D) incidence in recent decades is probably related to modifications in environmental factors. Viruses are among the putative environmental triggers of T1D. The mechanisms regulating beta cell responses to viruses, however, remain to be defined. We have presently clarified the signaling pathways leading to beta cell apoptosis following exposure to the viral mimetic...
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease characterized by progressive destruction of insulin-secreting pancreatic β-cells. Both T-cell-mediated adaptive responses as well as innate immune processes are involved in pathogenesis. Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase M (IRAK-M) can effectively inhibit the MyD88 downstream signals in Toll-like receptor pathways, w...
One mechanism whereby B cells contribute to type 1 diabetes in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice is as a subset of APCs that preferentially presents MHC class II-bound pancreatic beta cell Ags to autoreactive CD4 T cells. This results from their ability to use cell surface Ig to specifically capture beta cell Ags. Hence, we postulated a diabetogenic role for defects in the tolerance mechanisms norma...
