Project description:Beta-cells produce hybrid insulin peptides (HIPs) by linking insulin fragments to other peptides through peptide bonds. HIPs have unique amino acid sequences and are targeted by autoreactive T cells in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Individuals with recent-onset T1D have significantly higher levels of HIP-reactive T cells in their blood compared to non-diabetic control subjects. HIP-reactive T cells have also been found in the residual pancreatic islets of deceased T1D organ donors. In non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, a major T1D animal model, several CD4 T cell clones that trigger diabetes have been shown to target HIPs. Through mass spectrometry, a subgroup of HIPs containing N-terminal amine groups of various peptides linked to aspartic acid residues of insulin C-peptide has been detected in NOD islets. Our research reveals that these HIPs form spontaneously in beta-cells via an aspartic anhydride intermediate mechanism. This process leads to the creation of a regular HIP with a standard peptide bond and a HIP-isomer (isoHIP) with an isopeptide bond linked to the carboxylic acid side-chain of the aspartic acid residue. Our mass spectrometric analyses confirmed the presence of both HIP isomers in murine islets, thereby validating the occurrence of this new reaction mechanism in beta-cells. The spontaneous formation of neoepitopes through the development of new peptide bonds within cells may contribute to the pathogenesis of T1D and other autoimmune diseases.

Project description:From the past reports, we hypothesized that spleen is an ideal site for inducing regeneration of transplanted islets, and leading to reduce the required number of islets for ameliorating the hyperglycemia of diabetic recipients in mice. In order to confirm this hypothesis, we performed 25 islets transplantation into spleen (SP25); it was not enough number to ameliorate the hyperglycemia of recipient mice, with 100 islets transplantation into beneath the kidney capsule (KC100) to maintain recipients' blood glucose normoglycemic temporary. All recipient mice (n=11) became normoglycemic after receiving SP25 with KC100. On 240 days after transplantation, we performed nephrectomy for removing islet grafts in the kidney. After nephrectomy, 8 of 11 mice remained normoglycemic, and 3 of 11 mice' non-fasting blood glucose levels were maintained around 300 mg/dL. On 290 days after transplantation (50 days after nephrectomy), all recipient mice received splenectomy to remove islet grafts in the spleen. All mice became hyperglycemic after splenectomy, indicating that intra-splenic islet grafts maintained the blood glucose levels of diabetic recipient mice. In order to investigate the gene expression associated with islets engraftment in the spleen, microarray studies were performed in comparison of the Tlx-1 (Hox11) related gene expression profiles of Sample 1, Sample 2 and Sample 3.

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from insulin insufficiency due to the loss or dysfunction of pancreatic beta cells following T cell-mediated autoimmune attack. Currently, the only long-term therapy is daily exogenous insulin replacement. The ideal curative approach is the durable restoration of functional islets via transplantation with or without immunosuppression or immune modulation. To date, the limiting factors impeding realization of this goal is the lack of a cost effective and limitless source of high-quality islets suitable for transplantation and the ability to provide long-term islet graft acceptance without prolonged need for deleterious immunosuppression. Ongoing clinical trials are testing the suitability of islets derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC); however, long-term acceptance of these or any other islet graft will require a clinically effective therapeutic strategy to prevent engrafted islet destruction by pre-existing islet-antigen specific T cells. While current immunomodulatory strategies focus on autologous T regulatory (Treg) cell expansion or the use of broad immunosuppression, here we demonstrate in the NOD mouse model for T1D that autologous islet graft acceptance can be achieved by the targeted elimination of (re)-activated islet-reactive CD4+ and CD8+ T effector (Teff) cells in the initial post-transplantation period by using a short-acting, combination therapy that results in the elimination of islet-reactive Teff cells by exacerbation of their natural DNA damage response (DDR) to drive apoptosis while at the same time maintaining endogenous Treg cell function and reducing the effector function of residual islet-reactive T cells.

Project description:NOD-Idd22 mice are congenic mice of NOD background with a piece of chromosome 8 being substituted with ALR genetic material. These mice are resistant to spontaneous autoimmune diabetes as well as chemically induced in vivo islet beta cell destructions. The goal of this project is to come pare gene expressions in islets between NOD-Idd22 and NOD mice. NOD-Rag1 was used instead of NOD to avoid lymphocyte infiltrtation in isltes.

Project description:Using intravital 2-photon islet imaging we show that T cell extravasation into the islets is an extended process, with T cells arresting in the islet vasculature in close proximity to perivascular CD11c+ cells. Antigen is not required for T cell trafficking to infiltrated islets, but T cell chemokine receptor signaling is necessary. Using RNAseq, we show that islet CD11c+ cells express over 20 different chemokines that bind chemokine receptors expressed on islet T cells.

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an immune-mediated disease that leads to β cell dysfunction and death. However, the contribution of β cells in this process remains unclear. To understand how islet-derived pro-inflammatory signaling pathways contribute to diabetes pathogenesis, we generated inducible islet-specific Alox15 knockout mice on the NOD background. We report that islet-specific deletion of Alox15 induced a substantial increase of β-cell mass and decreased islet insulitis, and ultimately lead to a protection against spontaneous autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice. Single cell RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry analysis revealed that islet-specific knockout of Alox15 leads to an increase of β cells expressing Pd-l1 and promotes an anti-inflammatory phenotype in myeloid cells and T cells inside the islets. Furthermore, islet- specific Alox15 deletion enhances the expansion of M2-like macrophages and regulatory T cells in the pancreatic islets and pancreatic lymph nodes. Together, these results lead to the conclusion that proinflammatory signals produced by β cells allows these cells to express immunoregulators that protects these cells of immune cell attack and promote β cell survival.

Project description:Pancreatic islets are essential for maintaining physiological blood glucose levels, and declining islet function is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes. Here we employ mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics to systematically analyse purified islets from 9 genetic or diet-induced mouse models representing a broad cross-section of metabolic health. Quantifying the islet proteome to a depth of >11,500 proteins, this study represents the most detailed analysis of islet proteins to date. Our data highlight that the vast majority of islet proteins are expressed in all strains and diets, but more than half of the proteins vary in expression levels. Associating these varied protein expression levels on an individual animal basis with individual phenotypic measures reveals islet mitochondrial function as a major positive indicator of metabolic health. This compendium of strain-specific and dietary changes to mouse islet proteomes represents a comprehensive resource for basic and translational islet cell biology.

Project description:Persistent antigen exposure results in the differentiation of functionally impaired, also termed exhausted, T cells which are maintained by a distinct population of precursors of exhausted T (TPEX) cells. T cell exhaustion is well studied in the context of chronic viral infections and cancer, but it is unclear if and how antigen-driven T cell exhaustion controls progression of autoimmune diabetes and whether this process can be harnessed to prevent diabetes. Using non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, we show that some CD8+ T cells specific for the islet antigen, islet-specific glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit-related protein (IGRP) displayed terminal exhaustion characteristics within pancreatic islets but were maintained in the TPEX cell state in peripheral lymphoid organs. More IGRP-specific T cells resided in the peripheral lymphoid organs than in islets. To examine the impact of extra-islet antigen exposure on T cell exhaustion in diabetes, we generated transgenic NOD mice with inducible IGRP expression in peripheral antigen presenting cells. Antigen exposure in the extra-islet environment induced severely exhausted IGRP-specific T cells with reduced ability to produce IFNγ, which protected these mice from diabetes. Our data demonstrate that T cell exhaustion induced by delivery of antigen can be harnessed to prevent autoimmune diabetes.
