Identifying Changes in Peripheral Lymphocyte Subpopulations in Adult Onset Type 1 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT: T- and B-lymphocytes play an important role in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D), a chronic disease caused by the autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing cells in the pancreatic islets. Flow cytometry allows their characterization in peripheral blood, letting to investigate changes in cellular subpopulations that can provide insights in T1D pathophysiology. With this purpose, CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells (including naïve, central memory, effector memory and terminally differentiated effector (TEMRA), Th17 and Tregs) and B cells subsets (naïve, unswitched memory, switched memory and transitional B cells) were analysed in peripheral blood of adult T1D patients at disease onset and after ≥2 years using multiparametric flow cytometry. Here we report changes in the percentage of early and late effector memory CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells as well as of naïve subsets, regulatory T cells and transitional B cells in peripheral blood of adult patients at onset of T1D when compared with HD. After 2 years follow-up these changes were maintained. Also, we found a decrease in percentage of Th17 and numbers of T cells with baseline. In order to identify potential biomarkers of disease, ROC curves were performed being late EM CD4 T cell subset the most promising candidate. In conclusion, the observed changes in the percentage and/or absolute number of lymphocyte subpopulations of adult T1D patients support the hypothesis that effector cells migrate to the pancreas and this autoimmune process perseveres along the disease. Moreover, multiparametric flow allows to identify those subsets with potential to be considered biomarkers of disease.

B lymphocyte alterations accompany abatacept resistance in new-onset type 1 diabetes

Project description:Peripheral blood samples were collected from subjects enrolled in the TrialNet study TN-09. This was a phase II study of the effects of the T cell costimulation inhibitor CTLA4-Ig (abatacept) in new-onset T1D. Total RNA was isolated from whole blood samples and then globin-reduced. RNAseq libraries were prepared from the globin-reduced RNA.

B lymphocyte alterations accompany abatacept resistance in new-onset type 1 diabetes.

Project description:Costimulatory interactions control T cell activation at sites of activated antigen-presenting cells, including B cells. Blockade of the CD28/CD80/CD86 costimulatory axis with CTLA4Ig (abatacept) is widely used to treat certain autoimmune diseases. While transiently effective in subjects with new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D), abatacept did not induce long-lasting immune tolerance. To elucidate mechanisms limiting immune tolerance in T1D, we performed unbiased analysis of whole blood transcriptomes and targeted measurements of cell subset levels in subjects from a clinical trial of abatacept in new-onset T1D. We showed that individual subjects displayed age-related immune phenotypes ("immunotypes") at baseline, characterized by elevated levels of B cells or neutrophils, that accompanied rapid or slow progression, respectively, in both abatacept- and placebo-treated groups. A more pronounced immunotype was exhibited by a subset of subjects showing poor response (resistance) to abatacept. This resistance immunotype was characterized by a transient increase in activated B cells (one of the cell types that binds abatacept), reprogrammed costimulatory ligand gene expression, and reduced inhibition of anti-insulin antibodies. Our findings identify immunotypes in T1D subjects that are linked to the rate of disease progression, both in placebo- and abatacept-treated subjects. Furthermore, our results suggest therapeutic approaches to restore immune tolerance in T1D.

Altered Peripheral B-Lymphocyte Subsets in Type 1 Diabetes and Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults.

Project description:ObjectiveB lymphocytes play an important role in the immunopathogenesis of autoimmune diabetes. We hypothesized that the altered B-cell subset phenotype is associated with autoimmune diabetes.Research design and methodsPatients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) (n = 81), latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) (n = 82), or type 2 diabetes (T2D) (n = 95) and healthy control subjects (n = 218) with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were recruited. We determined the percentage of circulating B-lymphocyte subsets, including CD19(+)CD23(-)CD21(+) (marginal zone B [MZB]), CD19(+)CD23(+)CD21(-) (follicular B [FoB]), and CD19(+)CD5(+)CD1d(hi) (interleukin-10-producing regulatory B [B10]) cells by flow cytometry.ResultsPatients with T1D or LADA had increased percentages of MZB cells and decreased percentages of FoB cells compared with healthy control subjects with NGT and patients with T2D. Moreover, patients with T1D showed the lowest frequency of B10 cells compared with patients with LADA or T2D, whereas healthy control subjects expressed the highest frequency of B10 cells. Of note, the frequency of MZB cells was negatively associated and the frequency of FoB cells was positively associated with fasting C-peptide (FCP). The frequency of B10 cells was positively correlated with FCP and negatively correlated with hemoglobin A(1c).ConclusionsThe data show that patients with T1D or LADA express an altered frequency of B-cell subsets, which is associated with islet function and glycemia. These findings suggest that B lymphocytes may be involved in loss of self-tolerance and β-cell destruction and could be used as a biomarker and potential target for immunological intervention.

Development of type 1 diabetes mellitus in nonobese diabetic mice follows changes in thymocyte and peripheral T lymphocyte transcriptional activity.

Project description:As early as one month of age, nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice feature pancreatic infiltration of autoreactive T lymphocytes, which destruct insulin-producing beta cells, producing autoimmune diabetes mellitus (T1D) within eight months. Thus, we hypothesized that during the development of T1D, the transcriptional modulation of immune reactivity genes may occur as thymocytes mature into peripheral T lymphocytes. The transcriptome of thymocytes and peripheral CD3? T lymphocytes from prediabetic or diabetic mice analyzed through microarray hybridizations identified 2,771 differentially expressed genes. Hierarchical clustering grouped mice according to age/T1D onset and genes according to their transcription profiling. The transcriptional activity of thymocytes developing into peripheral T lymphocytes revealed sequential participation of genes involved with CD4?/CD8? T-cell differentiation (Themis), tolerance induction by Tregs (Foxp3), and apoptosis (Fasl) soon after T-cell activation (IL4), while the emergence of T1D coincided with the expression of cytotoxicity (Crtam) and inflammatory response genes (Tlr) by peripheral T lymphocytes.

Predicting misdiagnosed adult-onset type 1 diabetes using machine learning.

Project description:AimsIt is now understood that almost half of newly diagnosed cases of type 1 diabetes are adult-onset. However, type 1 and type 2 diabetes are difficult to initially distinguish clinically in adults, potentially leading to ineffective care. In this study a machine learning model was developed to identify type 1 diabetes patients misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes.MethodsIn this retrospective study, a machine learning model was developed to identify misdiagnosed type 1 diabetes patients from a population of patients with a prior type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Using Ambulatory Electronic Medical Records (AEMR), features capturing relevant information on age, demographics, risk factors, symptoms, treatments, procedures, vitals, or lab results were extracted from patients' medical history.ResultsThe model identified age, BMI/weight, therapy history, and HbA1c/blood glucose values among top predictors of misdiagnosis. Model precision at low levels of recall (10 %) was 17 %, compared to <1 % incidence rate of misdiagnosis at the time of the first type 2 diabetes encounter in AEMR.ConclusionsThis algorithm shows potential for being translated into screening guidelines or a clinical decision support tool embedded directly in an EMR system to reduce misdiagnosis of adult-onset type 1 diabetes and implement effective care at the outset.

Peripheral Blood Monocyte Gene Expression in Recent-Onset Type 1 Diabetes

Project description:OBJECTIVE: Novel biomarkers of disease progression after type 1 diabetes onset are needed. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We profiled peripheral blood (PB) monocyte gene expression in 6 healthy subjects and 16 children with type 1 diabetes diagnosed ~3 months previously, and analyzed clinical features from diagnosis to 1 year. RESULTS: Monocyte expression profiles clustered into two distinct subgroups, representing mild and severe deviation from healthy controls, along the same continuum. Patients with strongly divergent monocyte gene expression had significantly higher insulin dose-adjusted HbA1c levels during the first year, compared to patients with mild deviation. The diabetes-associated expression signature identified multiple perturbations in pathways controlling cellular metabolism and survival, including endoplasmic reticulum and oxidative stress (e.g. induction of HIF1A, DDIT3, DDIT4 and GRP78). qPCR quantitation of a 9-gene panel correlated with glycaemic control in 12 additional recent-onset patients. The qPCR signature was also detected in PB from healthy first-degree relatives. CONCLUSIONS: A PB gene expression signature correlates with glycaemic control in the first year after diabetes diagnosis, and is present in at-risk subjects. These findings implicate monocyte phenotype as a candidate biomarker for disease progression pre- and post-onset, and systemic stresses as contributors to innate immune function in type 1 diabetes.

Associations of Circulating Lymphocyte Subpopulations with Type 2 Diabetes: Cross-Sectional Results from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).

Project description:ObjectiveDistinct lymphocyte subpopulations have been implicated in the regulation of glucose homeostasis and obesity-associated inflammation in mouse models of insulin resistance. Information on the relationships of lymphocyte subpopulations with type 2 diabetes remain limited in human population-based cohort studies.MethodsCirculating levels of innate (?? T, natural killer (NK)) and adaptive immune (CD4+ naive, CD4+ memory, Th1, and Th2) lymphocyte subpopulations were measured by flow cytometry in the peripheral blood of 929 free-living participants of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). Cross-sectional relationships of lymphocyte subpopulations with type 2 diabetes (n = 154) and fasting glucose and insulin concentrations were evaluated by generalized linear models.ResultsEach standard deviation (SD) higher CD4+ memory cells was associated with a 21% higher odds of type 2 diabetes (95% CI: 1-47%) and each SD higher naive cells was associated with a 22% lower odds (95% CI: 4-36%) (adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, and BMI). Among participants not using diabetes medication, higher memory and lower naive CD4+ cells were associated with higher fasting glucose concentrations (p<0.05, adjusted for age, sex, and race/ethnicity). There were no associations of ?? T, NK, Th1, or Th2 cells with type 2 diabetes, glucose, or insulin.ConclusionsA higher degree of chronic adaptive immune activation, reflected by higher memory and lower naive CD4+ cells, was positively associated with type 2 diabetes. These results are consistent with a role of chronic immune activation and exhaustion augmenting chronic inflammatory diseases, and support the importance of prospective studies evaluating adaptive immune activation and type 2 diabetes.

Inflammatory pathways in peripheral blood expression profile of recent-onset type 1 diabetes

Project description:Changes in innate and adaptive immunity occurring in and around pancreatic islets can also be observed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of T1D patients in Caucasians. The aim of our study was to investigate whether gene expression patterns of PBMC could complement islet autoantibodies for T1D pathogenic mechanisms in the higlty admixed Brazilian population. Methods: We assessed global gene expression in PBMC from two groups mached for age, sex and BMI: The T1D group with 20 patients with recent-onset T1D (≤ 6 months from diagnosis, in a time when the autoimmune process is still highly active), testing positive for one or more islet autoantibodies and 20 islet autoantibody-negative healthy controls (Control group). Results: we identified 474 differentially expressed genes between groups. The most expressed genes in T1D group were mainly related to host defense, with inflammatory and anti-bacterial/antiviral effects ( LFT, DEFA4, DEFA1, CTSG, KCNMA1) as well as to cell cycle progression. Several of the downregulated genes in T1D influenced cellular repair, control of inflammation and immune tolerance. They were related to T helper 2 pathway, induction of FOXP3 expression (AREG) and immune tolerance (SMAD6). Conclusion: Our analysis suggested the activation of cell cycle/proliferation, anti-infectious and inflammatory pathways, indicating immune activation, whereas immunoregulatory pathways were downregulated in PBMC from recent-onset T1D patients. These alterations were elicited by a new genetic profile
