Transcription Regulatory Networks of CD4 CD8 and CD14 cells in Patients of Type I Mellitus Diabetes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (T1D) is an organ-specific auto-immune disease caused by the selective destruction of the pancreatic beta cells by inflammatory cells, especially auto-reactive CD8+ T lymphocytes. In this study we evaluated the differential large scale gene expression profiling using cDNA microarrays of T (CD4+ and CD8+) and monocyte (CD14+) cells. In addition, considering that HLA class II profile may influence the expression of these molecules on the surface of peripheral blood cells, and considering that the mechanisms by which HLA class II susceptibility alleles drive the auto-immune response have not been elucidated, we intend to further stratify T1D patients according to the HLA class II profile. 20 pre-pubertal recently diagnosed T1D patients were selected, HLA-DRB1/DQB1 allele typing and separated in two groups. The group 1(G1) had patients with susceptibility alleles and group 2 (G2) with at least one protection allele. To established relationships between genes, the GeneNetwork 1.2 algorithm was used, 6 networks were obtained, TCD4+ G1 patients X controls, TCD4+ G2 patients X controls, and same situation to TCD8+ and CD14+.
