Role of L-selectin in the development of autoimmune diabetes in non-obese diabetic mice.
Autoimmune diabetes is characterized by an early mononuclear infiltration of pancreatic islets and later selective autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. Lymphocyte homing receptors have been considered candidate targets to prevent autoimmune diabetes. L-selectin (CD62L) is an adhesion molecule highly expressed in naive T and B cells. It has been reported that blocking L-select...
متن کاملDistinct genetic control of autoimmune neuropathy and diabetes in the non-obese diabetic background
The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is susceptible to the development of autoimmune diabetes but also multiple other autoimmune diseases. Over twenty susceptibility loci linked to diabetes have been identified in NOD mice and progress has been made in the definition of candidate genes at many of these loci (termed Idd for insulin-dependent diabetes). The susceptibility to multiple autoimmune dis...
متن کاملCannabidiol lowers incidence of diabetes in non-obese diabetic mice.
Cannabidinoids are components of the Cannabis sativa (marijuana) plant that have been shown capable of suppressing inflammation and various aspects of cell-mediated immunity. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive cannabidinoid has been previously shown by us to suppress cell-mediated autoimmune joint destruction in an animal model of rheumatoid arthritis. We now report that CBD treatment signif...
متن کاملA Bispecific Protein Capable of Engaging CTLA-4 and MHCII Protects Non-Obese Diabetic Mice from Autoimmune Diabetes
Crosslinking ligand-engaged cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) to the T cell receptor (TCR) with a bispecific fusion protein (BsB) comprised of a mutant mouse CD80 and lymphocyte activation antigen-3 (LAG-3) has been shown to attenuate TCR signaling and to direct T-cell differentiation toward Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) in an allogenic mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). Here, we sh...
متن کاملPrevention of autoimmune diabetes in non-obese diabetic mice by treatment with a class II major histocompatibility complex-blocking peptide
The role of antigen presentation as a possible mechanism underlying major histocompatibility complex (MHC) association of autoimmune disease has been studied in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. By screening for inhibition of antigen presentation to NOD T cell hybridoma, we have selected a synthetic peptide, yTYTVHAAHAYTYt (small letters denote D amino acids), that efficiently blocks antigen prese...
