Increased β-cell proliferation prior to immune-cell invasion prevents progression of type 1 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.

Increased β-cell proliferation before immune cell invasion prevents progression of type 1 diabetes.

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by pancreatic islet infiltration by autoreactive immune cells and a near-total loss of β-cells1. Restoration of insulin-producing β-cells coupled with immunomodulation to suppress the autoimmune attack has emerged as a potential approach to counter T1D2-4. Here we report that enhancing β-cell mass early in life, in two models of female NOD mice, results in immunomodulation of T-cells, reduced islet infiltration and lower β-cell apoptosis, that together protect them from developing T1D. The animals displayed altered β-cell antigens, and islet transplantation studies showed prolonged graft survival in the NOD-LIRKO model. Adoptive transfer of splenocytes from the NOD-LIRKOs prevented development of diabetes in pre-diabetic NOD mice. A significant increase in the splenic CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T-cell (Treg) population was observed to underlie the protected phenotype since Treg depletion rendered NOD-LIRKO mice diabetic. The increase in Tregs coupled with activation of TGF-β/SMAD3 signaling pathway in pathogenic T-cells favored reduced ability to kill β-cells. These data support a previously unidentified observation 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.

Stress-induced beta cell dedifferentiation prior to immune cell infiltration prevents type 1 diabetes [Single]

Project description:Immune-mediated destruction of insulin-producing β-cells causes type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, how β-cells themselves participate in the disease process is poorly understood. Here, we report that modulating the unfolded protein response (UPR) in β-cells of non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice in early stages of disease results in preserved β-cell function, substantially reduced islet immune cell infiltration, and β-cell apoptosis leading to protection from T1D. NOD mice that lack the UPR sensor IRE1α in β-cells show greatly reduced expression of β-cell identity markers, islet autoantigens, and genes involved in antigen presentation. These mice exhibit upregulation of immune inhibitory markers in β-cells and significantly less cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in the pancreas. Our results indicate that triggering transient β-cell dedifferentiation via targeting a specific branch of the UPR in β-cells, prior to insulitis, allow β-cells to escape from immune destruction and may be used as a novel preventive strategy for high-risk individuals.

Increased microtubule growth is required for extracellular vesicle mediated HER2 paracrine signaling to promote melanoma cancer cell invasion

Project description:The acquisition of cell invasiveness is the key transition from benign melanocyte hyperplasia to aggressive melanoma. Recent work using non-melanoma cancer cells has provided an intriguing new link between the presence of supernumerary centrosomes and increased cell invasion. Moreover, supernumerary centrosomes were shown to drive non-cell-autonomous invasion of cancer cells. Although centrosomes are the principle microtubule organizing centers the role of dynamic microtubules for non-cell-autonomous invasion remains unexplored, in particular in melanoma. We investigated the role of supernumerary centrosomes and dynamic microtubules in melanoma cell invasion and found that highly invasive melanoma cells are characterized by the presence of supernumerary centrosomes and by increased microtubule growth rates, both of which are functionally interlinked. We demonstrate that enhanced microtubule growth is required for increased 3D melanoma cell invasion. Moreover, we show that the activity to enhance microtubule growth can be transferred to adjacent non-invasive cells through extracellular vesicles harboring HER2 that are required for increased cell invasion of melanoma cells into 3D matrices. Hence, our study suggests that suppressing microtubule growth, either directly using anti-microtubule drugs or through HER2 inhibitors might be therapeutically beneficial to inhibit cell invasiveness and thus, metastasis of malignant melanoma.
