Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease caused by selective destruction of insulin producing pancreatic beta-cells in the islets of the Langerhans. The progression to clinical diabetes is characterized by the appearance of autoantibodies against islet cells (ICA) and beta-cell-specific antigens (IAA, IA-2 and GADA), which are considered the first markers signifying onset of autoimmunity. The mechanisms initiating or enhancing the autoimmune process remain poorly understood. Transcriptomic profiling on whole blood samples provides an approach for monitoring T1D disease process. In these investigations of pathways that are changed during the disease process, we have analyzed RNA from longitudinal peripheral blood samples of children who have developed T1D associated autoantibodies and eventually clinical type 1 diabetes . All study subjects were participants of the Type 1 Diabetes Prediction and Prevention (DIPP) study in Finland (38). Whole-blood RNA samples were collected during periodic clinic visits, typically at 3 to 12 month intervals. 2.5 ml venous blood was drawn into PAXgene Blood RNA tubes (Becton-Dickinson) and stored at -70°C. T1D-associated autoantibodies were measured from blood samples taken at each visit. Prospective samples from 3 children who developed T1D (subjects T1D_1 - T1D_3) and 2 children who developed ICA (subjects ICA_1 and ICA_2) during the DIPP follow-up were selected to the present study. Control children for the T1D cases (subjects T1D_C1 - T1D_C2) were matched for age, gender, birth place and HLA-genotype, from families who have no first-degree relatives with T1D. All samples (n=60) were processed and hybridized on Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays.
Project description:To unravel genes and molecular pathways involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D), we performed genome-wide gene expression profiling of prospective venous blood samples from children developing T1D-associated autoantibodies or progressing towards clinical diagnosis. 63 peripheral blood RNA samples from 6 autoantibody-positive children (Case) and their matched controls (Control) were analyzed with Illumina Sentrix WG-6 v2 genome-wide arrays, in order to study the gene expression changes occuring during the pathogenesis of Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Each case child (positive for T1D-specific autoantibodies) was matched with a persistently autoantibody-negative control child, with the same HLA-DQB1 risk category, gender, and place and date of birth. Seroconversion is determined as the first detection of T1D-specific autoantibody/autoantibodies (ICA titre >4 JDFU, IAA >3.47 RU, GADA >5.4 RU, IA-2A >0.43 RU, ZnT8A >0.61 RU).

Project description:The Illumina Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,000 CpGs in whole blood samples from a case-control study of 192 Irish patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). Cases had T1D and nephropathy whereas controls had T1D but no evidence of renal disease. emails: christopher.bell@cancer.ucl.ac.uk, a.teschendorff@ucl.ac.uk Keywords: DNA methylation
Project description:To unravel genes and molecular pathways involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D), we performed genome-wide gene expression profiling of prospective venous blood samples from children developing T1D-associated autoantibodies or progressing towards clinical diagnosis. 247 peripheral blood RNA samples from 18 prediabetic children and their matched controls were analyzed with Illumina Human HT-12 Expression BeadChips version 3 arrays, in order to study the gene expression changes occuring during the pathogenesis of Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Each case child (with T1D-specific autoantibodies) was matched with a persistently autoantibody-negative control child, with the same HLA-DQB1 risk category, gender, and place and date of birth. Two control children were selected for T1D cases 3, 5, 13 and 17. Seroconversion is determined as the first detection of T1D-specific autoantibody/autoantibodies (ICA titre >4 JDFU, IAA >3.47 RU, GADA >5.4 RU, IA-2A >0.43 RU, ZnT8A >0.61 RU).
