CD19+IgM+ cells demonstrate enhanced therapeutic efficacy in type 1 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT: We describe a protective effect on autoimmune diabetes and reduced destructive insulitis in NOD.scid recipients following splenocyte injections from diabetic NOD donors and sorted CD19+ cells compared with NOD.scid recipients receiving splenocytes alone. This protective effect was age specific (only CD19+ cells from young NOD donors exerted this effect; P < 0.001). We found that the CD19+IgM+ cell is the primary subpopulation of B cells that delayed transfer of diabetes mediated by diabetogenic T cells from NOD mice (P = 0.002). Removal of IgM+ cells from the CD19+ pool did not result in protection. Notably, protection conferred by CD19+IgM+ cotransfers were not dependent on the presence of Tregs, as their depletion did not affect their ability to delay onset of diabetes. Blockade of IL-10 with neutralizing antibodies at the time of CD19+ cell cotransfers also abrogated the therapeutic effect, suggesting that IL-10 secretion was an important component of protection. These results were strengthened by ex vivo incubation of CD19+ cells with IL-5, resulting in enhanced proliferation and IL-10 production and equivalently delayed diabetes progression (P = 0.0005). The potential to expand CD19+IgM+ cells, especially in response to IL-5 stimulation or by pharmacologic agents, may be a new therapeutic option for type 1 diabetes.

Project description:BackgroundStem cell therapy provides great hope for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). DM is a seriously alarming metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia and β cell dysfunction. Efficient novel therapeutic modalities to treat DM are indeed warranted. Stem cells (SC) derived from the umbilical cord specifically provide several advantages and unique characteristics being a readily available non-invasive source, with an additional credit for their banking potential. This meta-analysis study aims to provide a focused assessment for therapeutic efficacy of umbilical cord (UC)-derived SC-transplantation, namely Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) and umbilical cord blood (UCB) for DM.MethodsThe clinical efficacy was evaluated based on glycemic control status (reflected on HbA1c%) and β cell function (reflected on C-peptide levels), as well as the daily insulin requirement in diabetic patients after receiving UC-derived SC-transplantation compared to baseline values. Moreover, we assessed these outcome measures in patients who received such intervention compared to those who did not receive it in randomized/non-randomized controlled clinical trials. We employed a random-effects model and standardized mean difference for this meta-analysis.ResultsEleven eligible clinical studies were included; WJ-MSCs (6 studies; 172 patients including 71 controls) and UCB (5 studies; 74 patients including 15 controls). WJ-MSCs significantly improved HbA1c% (pooled-estimate - 1.085; 95%CI (- 1.513, - 0.657); p < 0.001) and C-peptide levels (pooled-estimate 1.008; 95%CI (0.475, 1.541); p < 0.001), as well as the daily insulin-requirement (pooled-estimate - 2.027; 95%CI (- 3.32, - 0.733); p = 0.002). On the contrary, UCB was found to be uniformly ineffective; HbA1c% (pooled-estimate - 0.091, 95%CI (- 0.454, 0.271); p = 0.622), significantly deteriorated C-peptide levels (pooled-estimate - 0.789; 95%CI (- 1.252, - 0.325); p < 0.001) and daily insulin-requirement (pooled-estimate 0.916; 95%CI (0.247, 1.585); p = 0.007). All these observations remained consistent when we carried out sub-group meta-analysis for T1DM and T2DM and also when we compared patients who received WJ-MSCs or UCB to controls.ConclusionsThe results of our meta-analysis provide a clear evidence for the superior efficacy of WJ-MSCs over UCB in DM. This sheds lights on the importance to consider banking of WJ-MSCs together with the well-established routine UCB-banking, especially for those with family history of DM. Additionally, further clinical studies are required to investigate therapeutic efficacy of selected/enriched UCB-derived cell populations with immunomodulatory/regenerative potential in DM.

Project description:Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic progressive metabolic disease that involves uncontrolled elevation of blood glucose levels. Among various therapeutic approaches, GLP-1 prevents type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients from experiencing hyperglycemic episodes. However, the short half-life (<?5 min) and rapid clearance of GLP-1 often limits its therapeutic use. Here, we developed an oral GLP-1 gene delivery system to achieve an extended antidiabetic effect.Human IgG1 (hIgG1)-Fc-Arg/pDNA complexes were prepared by an electrostatic complexation of the expression plasmid with various ratios of the positively modified Fc fragments of an antibody (hIgG1-Fc-Arg) having a targeting ability to FcRn receptor. The shape and size of the complexes were examined by atomic force and field emission electron microscope. The stability of the complexes was tested in simulated gastrointestinal pH and physiological serum condition. Cellular uptake, transport, and toxicity of the complexes were tested in the Caco-2 cells. Biodistribution and antidiabetic effect of the complexes were observed in either Balb/c mice or Lepdb/db mice.A 50/1 ratio of the hIgG1-Fc-Arg/pDNA produced a complex structure having approximately 40 ~?60 nm size and also demonstrated protection of pDNA in the complex from the physiological pH and serum conditions. Cellular uptake and transport of the complex were demonstrated in Caco-2 cells having FcRn receptor expression and forming the monolayer-polarized structure. The cellular toxicity of both delivery vehicle and the complex revealed their minimal toxicity comparable with nontoxicity of a commercial transfection reagent. Biodistribution of the complex showed the detectable distribution of the complex in the most parts of gastrointestinal tract due to ubiquitous expression of the FcRn receptors. An in vivo type 2 diabetes treatment study of oral administration of hIgG1-Fc-9Arg/pGLP-1 complexes showed absorption and expression in GI tract of either Balb/c mice or Lepdb/db mice.In this study, we developed an oral GLP-1 gene delivery system on the platform of cationic hIgG1-Fc-9Arg. Prolonged t1/2, less immunoactivity, and better bioactivities of hIgG-Fc-9Arg/pGLP-1 complexes appeared to be a promising approach to achieve potent treatment of type 2 diabetes treatment.

Project description:BackgroundAbnormal gut microbiota and blood trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) metabolome have been reported in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and advanced diabetic nephropathy. This study aimed to investigate the gut microbiota profiles and a group of targeted urine metabolic characteristics in T2DM patients with or without microalbuminuria, to determine the correlation between the gut microbiota composition, trimethylamine (TMA) metabolism, and the clinical features during progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD).MethodsThis study included 26 T2DM patients with microalbuminuria (Micro), 26 T2DM patients with normoalbuminuria (Normo), and 15 healthy controls (HC). Urine and Fecal samples were detected using ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and 16S ribosomal DNA gene sequencing, respectively.ResultsThe TMAO/TMA ratio decreased gradually during the HC-Normo-Micro transition. The levels of TMA, choline and betaine were significantly different between the HC group and the T2DM patients belonging to both Normo and Micro groups. At the operational taxonomic unit (OTU) level, the gut microflora diversity was significantly reduced in the Micro groups compared to the HC groups and the Normo groups. Taxonomic analyses revealed significant consumption in the relative abundances of eight bacterial genera and significant enrichment of two bacterial genera during the HC-Normo-Micro transition. Furthermore, the relative abundances of six bacterial genera, namely, Ruminococcus_1, [Eubacterium]_ruminantium_group, Roseburia, Faecalibacterium, Fusicatenibacter and Coprococcus_3 exhibited significant differences, and were associated with elevated urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR), TMAO/TMA, TMA and its precursors in the Micro group compared with the other groups.ConclusionThe imbalance of gut microbiota has occurred in patients with early-stage DKD, and the consumption of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria were associated with the accumulation of TMA and UACR.
