Impact of Islet Autoimmunity on the Progressive b-Cell Functional Decline in Type 2 Diabetes

چکیده
Twenty-three T2D patients negative for islet autoantibodies (GAD antibody and insulinoma-associated protein 2) and islet-specific T cells were evaluated prospectively for up to 36 months. We investigated the percentage of patients who developed islet autoantibodies (Ab+) and/or islet-reactive T cells (T+) and the effect of the islet autoimmunity on fasting and glucagon-stimulated C-peptide responses. We defined positive islet autoimmunity as Ab+ and/or T+ for at least two study visits.

Impact of Islet Autoimmunity on the Progressive β-Cell Functional Decline in Type 2 Diabetes
OBJECTIVE Cross-sectional studies have suggested that islet autoimmunity may be more prevalent in type 2 diabetes (T2D) than previously appreciated and may contribute to the progressive decline in β-cell function. In this study, we longitudinally evaluated the effect of islet autoimmune development on the progressive β-cell dysfunction in T2D patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Twenty-three...
متن کاملTowards a functional hypothesis relating anti-islet cell autoimmunity to the dietary impact on microbial communities and butyrate production
BACKGROUND The development of anti-islet cell autoimmunity precedes clinical type 1 diabetes and occurs very early in life. During this early period, dietary factors strongly impact on the composition of the gut microbiome. At the same time, the gut microbiome plays a central role in the development of the infant immune system. A functional model of the association between diet, microbial commu...
متن کامل[Early insulin therapy in type 2 diabetes?].
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by progressive decline in pancreatic beta cell function and persistent insulin resistance. Decreased beta cell mass and amyloid deposits in the islet are the pathological hallmark of the disease. Preserved beta cell function is the most important determinant of glucose disposal, even after adjustment for insulin sensitivity, which might modulate beta cell functi...

OBJECTIVE Ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD) is characterized by diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in patients lacking typical features of type 1 diabetes. A validated classification scheme for KPD includes two autoantibody-negative ("A-") phenotypic forms: "A-β-" (lean, early onset, lacking β-cell functional reserve) and "A-β+" (obese, late onset, with substantial β-cell functional reserve after the index...
متن کاملNew potential treatments for protection of pancreatic B-cell function in Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes mellitus results from the progressive and specific autoimmune destruction of insulin-secreting pancreatic B-cells, which develops over a period of years and continues after the initial clinical presentation. The ultimate goal of therapeutic intervention is prevention or reversal of the disease by the arrest of autoimmunity and by preservation/restoration of B-cell mass and funct...
