RNA sensor-induced type I IFN prevents diabetes caused by a β cell-tropic virus in mice.
Viral infections have been linked to the onset of type I diabetes (T1D), with viruses postulated to induce disease directly by causing β cell injury and subsequent release of autoantigens and indirectly via the host type I interferon (IFN-I) response triggered by the virus. Consistent with this, resistance to T1D is associated with polymorphisms that impair the function of melanoma differentiat...
متن کاملReduced expression of the MDA5 Gene IFIH1 prevents autoimmune diabetes.
Although it is widely accepted that type 1 diabetes (T1D) is the result of the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas, little is known about the events leading to islet autoimmunity. Epidemiological and genetic data have associated virus infections and antiviral type I interferon (IFN-I) response genes with T1D. Genetic variants in the T1D risk locus interferon indu...
متن کاملDEAD-Box Helicase DDX25 Is a Negative Regulator of Type I Interferon Pathway and Facilitates RNA Virus Infection
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that rapidly spread in tropic and subtropic area in recent years. DEAD (Glu-Asp-Ala-Glu)-box RNA helicases have been reported to play important roles in viral infection, either as cytosolic sensors of viral nucleic acids or as essential host factors for the replication of different viruses. In this study, we reported that DDX25, a DEAD-box RNA helicase, ...
متن کاملدرمان موشهای دیابتیک نوع 1 با آل- ترانس رتینوئیک اسید از طریق مهار سایتوکاینهای پیش التهابی
Background & Aims: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition associated with the T-cell–mediated destruction of Pancreatic β cells. Vitamin A (retinol) and its metabolites (such as all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)) have a variety of biological activities including immunomodulatory action in a number of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the e...
متن کاملOral insulin treatment suppresses virus-induced antigen-specific destruction of beta cells and prevents autoimmune diabetes in transgenic mice.
Oral administration of self-antigens has been proposed as a therapy to prevent and treat autoimmune diseases. Here we report that oral treatment with insulin prevents virus-induced insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in a transgenic (tg) mouse model. Such mice express the viral nucleoprotein (NP) of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) under control of the rat insulin promoter in th...
