Dendritic Cell Subsets in Type 1 Diabetes: Friend or Foe?
نویسنده
چکیده
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a T cell mediated autoimmune disease characterized by immune mediated destruction of the insulin-producing β cells in the islets of Langerhans. Dendritic cells (DC) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of T1D and are also used as immunotherapeutic agents. Plasmacytoid (p)DC have been shown to have both protective and pathogenic effects and a newly described merocytic DC population has been shown to break tolerance in the mouse model of T1D, the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse. We have used DC populations to prevent the onset of T1D in NOD mice and clinical trials of DC therapy in T1D diabetes have been initiated. In this review we will critically examine the recent published literature on the role of DC subsets in the induction and regulation of the autoimmune response in T1D.

Role of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells in Type 1 Diabetes: Friend or Foe?
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by T-cell–mediated destruction of insulin-producing -cells. Progression of -cell autoimmunity is simplistically viewed as a functional imbalance favoring the development of -cell–specific pathogenic type 1 versus immunoregulatory T-cells (Tregs) (1,2). The latter consist of a number of distinct subsets with varying functions that can prevent differentiation or f...
متن کاملAlcohol Consumption and its Relationship to Diabetes Mellitus: Friend or Foe?
The world population with diabetes mellitus (DM) is estimated at 425 million, which represents 8.8% of adults aged 20 to 79 years, and could reach 629 million by 2045 [1]. Of these, 438.2 million will be of productive age. There is a slight predominance among men. In older population (65-79 years), the predominance between the sexes is similar. About 90% of the cases are type 2 diabetes mellitu...

For many years, β-defensins were best known for their antimicrobial activity. However, β-defensins also exert immunomodulatory functions, such as the chemotactic recruitment of immune cells via chemokine receptors. We demonstrated that mouse β-defensin 14 recruits CCR6(+) B cells into fibrosarcomas, resulting in enhanced angiogenesis and tumor development.
