Project description:Protein source in diet greatly influences the incidence of type-1 diabetes (T1D) in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse colonies. NOD mice fed a diet containing hydrolyzed casein (HC) as the sole protein source are protected from T1D. Replacing 1/5th of the HC with gluten restores high T1D to NOD mice. We hypothesized that gluten might promote inflammation in the islets. We used TCR sequencing to characterize the clonal frequency of infiltrating T cells from the pancreatic islets of Langerhans of NOD mice fed a 20% HC diet or a 16% HC + 4% gluten diet.

Project description:Background: Activation of stress pathways intrinsic to the β cell are thought to both accelerate β cell death and increase β cell immunogenicity in type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, information on the timing and scope of these responses is lacking. Methods: To identify temporal and disease-related changes in islet β cell protein expression, SWATH-MS/MS proteomics analysis was performed on islets collected longitudinally from NOD mice and NOD-SCID mice rendered diabetic through T cell adoptive transfer. Findings: In islets collected from female NOD mice at 10, 12, and 14 weeks of age, we found a time-restricted upregulation of proteins involved in the maintenance of β cell function and stress mitigation, followed by loss of expression of protective proteins that heralded diabetes onset. Pathway analysis identified EIF2 signaling and the unfolded protein response, mTOR signaling, mitochondrial function, and oxidative phosphorylation as commonly modulated pathways in both diabetic NOD mice and NOD-SCID mice rendered acutely diabetic by adoptive transfer, highlighting this core set of pathways in T1D pathogenesis. In immunofluorescence validation studies, β cell expression of protein disulfide isomerase A1 (PDIA1) and 14-3-3b were found to be increased during disease progression in NOD islets, while PDIA1 plasma levels were increased in pre-diabetic NOD mice and in the serum of children with recent-onset T1D compared to age and sex-matched non-diabetic controls. Interpretation: We identified a common and core set of modulated pathways across distinct mouse models of T1D and identified PDIA1 as a potential human biomarker of β cell stress in T1D.

Project description:The peptides repertoire presented to CD8+ T cells by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, referred to as the MHC I-associated peptidome (MIP), regulates all critical events that occur during the lifetime of CD8+ T cells. The MIP presented by thymic antigen presenting cells (APCs) is crucial for shaping CD8+ T cell repertoire and self-tolerance, while the MIP presented by peripheral tissues and organs is not only involved in maintaining periphery CD8+ T cell survival and homeostasis, but also mediates immune surveillance and autoimmune responses of CD8+ T cells under pathological conditions. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease caused by the destruction pancreatic β cells, mediated primarily by autoreactive CD8+ T cells. Non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is one of important animal models of spontaneous autoimmune diabetes that shares several key features with human T1D. Here, we deeply analyzed the MIP derived from the primary tissues of thymus and pancreas in NOD mice using targeted database searches of mass spectrometry data. We demonstrated that the thymus MIP source proteins accommodated only a small portion of the transcriptome of thymus epithelial cells, and partially shared with the MIP source proteins derived from NOD mice pancreas and β cell line. The global view of the MHC I-associated self-peptides repertoire in the thymus and pancreas of NOD mice may serve as a biological reference to identify potential autoantigens targeted by autoreactive CD8+ T cells in T1D.

Project description:Type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1D and T2D) share pathophysiological characteristics, yet mechanistic links have remained elusive. T1D results from autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, while beta cell failure in T2D is delayed and progressive. Here we find a new genetic component of diabetes susceptibility in T1D non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, identifying immune-independent beta cell fragility. Genetic variation in Xrcc4 and Glis3 alter the response of NOD beta cells to unfolded protein stress, enhancing the apoptotic and senescent fates. The same transcriptional relationships were observed in human islets, demonstrating the role for beta cell fragility in genetic predisposition to diabetes.

Project description:Autoreactive CD8+ T cell plays a key role in the pathogenesis of Type 1 diabetes (T1D), but the antigen spectrum that activate autoreactive CD8+ T cells is still not completely clear. Endoplasmic reticulum stress（ERS）has been implicated in the generation of β cell autoantigens and the enhanced immune visibility of β cells to autoreactive T cells. Here, we in-depth analyzed the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) associated immunopeptidome (MIP) of islets β cell under steady-state and ERS-state, and found couples of peptides exclusively present in the MIP of β cell line under ERS state. Among them, peptide OTUB258-66 derived from ubiquitin thioesterase OTUB2 showed immunodominance in NOD mice, and autoreactive CD8+ T cells targeting OTUB258-66 were diabetogenic in NOD mice. High glucose intake upregulated the expression of OTUB2 in the pancreas and amplified the OTUB258-66-specific CD8+ T cell response in NOD mice. Repeated administration with OTUB258-66 significantly reduced the incidence of T1D in NOD mice. This study not only provides an explanation for the role of ERS induced by environmental factors such as high glucose intake in promoting β cell autoimmune injury, but also provides a novel ERS-associated β cell autoantigens for developing specific immune intervention in prevention and treatment of T1D.

Abstract:
A wave of apoptosis (programmed cell death) occurs normally in pancreatic beta-cells of newborn mice. We previously showed that macrophages from non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice become activated more slowly and engulf apoptotic cells at a lower rate than macrophages from control (Balb/c) mice. It has been hypothesized that this low clearance could result in secondary necrosis, escalating inflammation and self-antigen presentation that later triggers autoimmune, Type 1 diabetes (T1D). We here investigate whether this hypothesis could offer a reasonable and parsimonious explanation for onset of T1D in NOD mice. We quantify variants of the Copenhagen model (Freiesleben De Blasio et al. 1999 Diabetes 48, 1677), based on parameters from NOD and Balb/c experimental data. We show that the original Copenhagen model fails to explain observed phenomena within a reasonable range of parameter values, predicting an unrealistic all-or-none disease occurrence for both strains. However, if we take into account that, in general, activated macrophages produce harmful cytokines only when engulfing necrotic (but not apoptotic) cells, then the revised model becomes qualitatively and quantitatively reasonable. Further, we show that known differences between NOD and Balb/c mouse macrophage kinetics are large enough to account for the fact that an apoptotic wave can trigger escalating inflammatory response in NOD, but not Balb/c mice. In Balb/c mice, macrophages clear the apoptotic wave so efficiently, that chronic inflammation is prevented.

Project description:Mitochondria are principal metabolic organelles that are increasingly unveiled as immune regulators. However, it is currently not known whether mitochondrial-encoded peptides modulate T cells to induce changes in phenotype and function. Here, we found that MOTS-c prevented autoimmune β-cell destruction via phenotypical and functional changes of T cells in NOD mice, a type 1 diabetes (T1D) animal model. MOTS-c ameliorated the development of hyperglycemia and reduced islet-infiltrating immune cells. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of T cells from MOTS-c-treated NOD mice significantly decreased the incidence of diabetes in NOD-SCID mice. Metabolic and genomic analysis revealed that MOTS-c modulated T cell phenotype and function by regulating TCR/mTORC1 pathway. We observed that T1D patients had a lower serum MOTS-c level than healthy controls. Furthermore, MOTS-c reduced T cell activation by alleviating T cells from the glycolytic stress in T1D patients suggesting a potential therapeutic implication. Our findings indicate that the MOTS-c acts as a regulator of T cell phenotype and function in autoimmune diabetes.

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by pancreatic islet infiltration by autoreactive immune cells and a near-total loss of β-cells. Restoration of insulin-producing β-cells coupled with immunomodulation to suppress the autoimmune attack has emerged as a potential approach to counter T1D. Here we report that enhancing β-cell mass in female NOD mice early in life (prior to weaning) results in immunomodulation of T-cells, reduced islet infiltration and lower β-cell apoptosis, that together protect them from developing T1D. We observed that a model exhibiting β-cell hyperplasia on the NOD background (NOD-LIRKO) displayed altered β-cell antigens, and islet transplantation studies showed prolonged graft survival of NOD-LIRKO islets even upon exposure to diabetogenic splenocytes in vivo. Adoptive transfer of splenocytes from the NOD-LIRKOs prevented diabetes development in pre-diabetic NOD mice, while conversely, similar protective outcomes were obtained when NOD-LIRKO splenocytes were adoptively transferred after mixing them with diabetogenic NOD splenocytes in a dose-dependent manner. A significant increase in the splenic CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T-cell (Treg) population in the NOD-LIRKO mice was observed to drive the protected phenotype since Treg depletion rendered NOD-LIRKO mice diabetic. The increase in Tregs coupled with a downregulation of key mediators of cellular function, upregulation of apoptosis and activation of TGF-β/SMAD3 signaling pathway in pathogenic T-cells favored reduced ability to kill β-cells. These data provide novel evidence that initiating β-cell proliferation, alone, prior to islet infiltration by immune cells alters the identity of β-cells, decreases pathologic self-reactivity of effector cells and increases Tregs to prevent progression of T1D.

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from autoimmune destruction of β cells in the pancreas. Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are candidate genes for T1D and play a key role in autoimmune disease development and β-cell function. Here, we assessed the global protein and individual PTP profile in the pancreas of diabetic NOD mice treated with anti-CD3 mAb and IL-1RA combination therapy. The treatment reversed hyperglycemia compared to the anti-CD3 alone control group. We observed enhanced expression of PTPN2, a T1D candidate gene, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones in the islets from cured mice.
