Inhibition of diabetes in NOD mice by idiotypic induction of SLE.

چکیده
The present study was undertaken to investigate whether active induction of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice could affect their development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). NOD mice were immunized with a human IgM mAb carrying the 16/6 idiotype (MIV-7) or with control human IgM. The mice were bled monthly and tested for SLE-associated autoantibodies in the serum and for the presence of leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, proteinuria and immunoglobulin deposits in the kidneys. The development of diabetes was determined by a blood glucose level exceeding 15 mM on two consecutive weekly determinations and by the presence of insulitis in the pancreas. The NOD mice immunized with MIV-7 developed high and persistent levels of autoantibodies, including anti-DNA, anti-histones and anti-cardiolipin, untreated mice and those immunized with normal human IgM did not produce these autoantibodies. The MIV-7-immunized mice also manifested an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and significant proteinuria, as well as deposits of Ig in their kidney glomeruli. Thus, NOD mice immunized with MIV-7 developed both autoantibodies and clinical features of SLE. The MIV-7-treated mice, however, showed a significantly lower incidence of IDDM (25%vs. 90%, P<0.003), accompanied by amelioration of the insulitis. The present study indicates that the induction of SLE by idiotypic immunization can protect NOD mice from developing IDDM, pointing to the importance of immune dysregulation in shift from one autoimmune disease to another.

Treatment effect of GABA on improve type one diabetes in NOD mice
Introduction: Gama amino butyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian nervous system. The concentration of GABA and the number of GABA cell secretion decrease in diabetic patient and experimental diabetes model. The reported effects of GABA activation on insulin secretion from beta cells have been controversial. In this study we investigated if GABA administr...
متن کاملRegulation of NOD mouse autoimmune diabetes by T cells that recognize a TCR CDR3 peptide.
NOD mice spontaneously develop type I diabetes resulting from autoimmune destruction of their insulin-producing beta cells. Among the self-antigens targeted by NOD autoimmune T cells is a peptide, p277, from the sequence of the 60 kDa heat shock protein (hsp60). Common to the anti-p277 T cell populations of NOD mice is an idiotope, C9, that spans the CDR3 region of the C9 TCR. We now report: (i...
متن کاملInduction and therapy of autoimmune diabetes in the non-obese diabetic (NOD/Lt) mouse by a 65-kDa heat shock protein.
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is caused by autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. The results described here indicate that a beta-cell target antigen in non-obese diabetic (NOD/Lt) mice is a molecule cross-reactive with the 65-kDa heat shock protein (hsp65) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The onset of beta-cell destruction is associated with the spontan...
متن کاملPD-L1–Driven Tolerance Protects Neurogenin3-Induced Islet Neogenesis to Reverse Established Type 1 Diabetes in NOD Mice
A breakdown in self-tolerance underlies autoimmune destruction of β-cells and type 1 diabetes. A cure by restoring β-cell mass is limited by the availability of transplantable β-cells and the need for chronic immunosuppression. Evidence indicates that inhibiting costimulation through the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is central to immune tolerance. We therefore tested whether induction of islet neogenesis...
متن کاملIslet allograft survival induced by costimulation blockade in NOD mice is controlled by allelic variants of Idd3.
NOD mice develop type 1 autoimmune diabetes and exhibit genetically dominant resistance to transplantation tolerance induction. These two phenotypes are genetically separable. Costimulation blockade fails to prolong skin allograft survival in (NOD x C57BL/6)F1 mice and in NOD-related strains made diabetes-resistant by congenic introduction of protective major histocompatibility complex (MHC) or...
