TAK1 inhibition prevents the development of autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice
Transforming growth factor-β activated kinase-1 (TAK1, Map3k7), a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K) family, is essential in innate and adaptive immune responses. We postulated that blockade of TAK1 would affect autoimmune diabetes in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. Administration of 5Z-7-oxozeaenol (OZ), a TAK1 inhibitor, decreased the incidence and delayed the...
متن کاملPoly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibition prevents spontaneous and recurrent autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice by inducing apoptosis of islet-infiltrating leukocytes.
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a nuclear enzyme that consumes NAD in response to DNA strand breaks. The PARP inhibitor nicotinamide prevents NAD consumption and protects islet beta-cells from chemically induced necrosis but not cytokine-induced apoptosis. Therefore, it is unclear how nicotinamide protects NOD mice from autoimmune diabetes in which apoptosis is the mode of beta-cell deat...
متن کاملViruses as therapeutic agents. I. Treatment of nonobese insulin- dependent diabetes mice with virus prevents insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus while maintaining general immune competence
A situation in which virus can be used as a therapeutic agent to prevent a lethal autoimmune disease is explored. Nonobese insulin-dependent diabetes (NOD) mice spontaneously develop insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), characterized by lymphocytic infiltration into the islets of Langerhans and beta cell destruction, resulting in hypoinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, and death. I...
متن کاملThe microRNA-21-PDCD4 axis prevents type 1 diabetes by blocking pancreatic beta cell death.
Death of pancreatic β cells is a pathological hallmark of type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, the molecular mechanisms of β cell death and its regulation are poorly understood. Here we describe a unique regulatory pathway of β cell death that comprises microRNA-21, its target tumor suppressor PDCD4, and its upstream transcriptional activator nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). In pancreatic β cells, c-Rel a...
متن کاملCathepsin L Inhibition Prevents Murine Autoimmune Diabetes via Suppression of CD8+ T Cell Activity
BACKGROUND Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease resulting from defects in central and peripheral tolerance and characterized by T cell-mediated destruction of islet β cells. To determine whether specific lysosomal proteases might influence the outcome of a T cell-mediated autoimmune response, we examined the functional significance of cathepsin inhibition on autoimmune T1D-prone non-o...
