Abstract
There is growing evidence suggesting an association between severe acute respiratory coronavirus syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and various extrapulmonary diseases since the advent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, case reports of fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (FT1D) following SARS-CoV-2 infection are limited. We encountered a 44-year-old Japanese woman who developed FT1D accompanied by subclinical thyrotoxicosis caused by autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) approximately one week after SARS-CoV-2 infection. The patient developed fever and flu-like symptom 4 days before transportation and tested positive then for the SARS-CoV-2 antigen self-test. She subsequently developed sudden thirst, polyuria, and fatigue of 1 day duration and was urgently brought to our emergency room. Laboratory findings indicated diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) without marked elevation of serum glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels (glucose, 930 mg/dL; HbA1c, 7.4%). Her insulin secretory capacity was almost completely depleted, and islet-specific autoantibodies were negative. Endocrine examinations revealed subclinical thyrotoxicosis, which was positive for thyroid stimulation hormone receptor antibodies. Based on these results, the patient was diagnosed with FT1D accompanied by AITD and immediately started on intensive insulin therapy with a basal-bolus subcutaneous insulin regimen. Human leukocyte antigen analysis revealed haplotypes, indicating susceptibility to both FT1D and AITD. Further studies are required to elucidate the causal relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection, FT1D, and AITD. However, clinicians must be vigilant about possible development of FT1D and AITD to enable accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients with DKA during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D) is a novel type of type 1 diabetes that is caused by extremely rapid destruction of the pancreatic β cells. Early diagnosis or prediction of FT1D is critical for the prevention or timely treatment of diabetes ketoacidosis, which can be life-threatening. Understanding its triggers or promoting factors plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of FT1D. In this review, we summarised the various triggering factors of FT1D, including susceptibility genes, immunological factors (cellular and humoural immunity), immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies, drug reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms or drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome, pregnancy, viral infections, and vaccine inoculation. This review provides the basis for future research into the pathogenetic mechanisms that regulate FT1D development and progression to further improve the prognosis and clinical management of patients with FT1D.

Distinct changes to pancreatic volume rather than pancreatic autoantibody positivity: insights into immune checkpoint inhibitors induced diabetes mellitus. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2024; 16:26. [PMID: 38254155 PMCID: PMC10804587 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-024-01263-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are promising treatment options for various cancers. However, their use is associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including ICI-induced diabetes mellitus (ICI-DM). This study aimed to investigate the clinical features of ICI-DM, with a particular focus on alterations to pancreatic volume. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 2829 patients who received ICI treatment at the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou, between January 2014 and December 2021. New-onset diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was identified in ten patients receiving ICI therapy. Pancreatic volumes were assessed by manual segmentation of computed tomography (CT) images before and after ICI-DM diagnosis. RESULTS Among these ten patients, nivolumab was the most commonly used ICI (50.0%), followed by pembrolizumab (30.0%) and atezolizumab (20.0%). One patient received combination therapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab. The median age was 63.01 years (range: 40.1 - 87.8). ICI-DM developed after a median of 13.5 cycles (range: 2 - 42) of ICI treatment or 9.85 months (range:1.5 - 21.3) since ICI initiation. The initial presentation was DKA in 60.0% of patients. All patients had low or undetectable C-peptide levels (range: <0.033 - 0.133 nmol/L) and were negative for most type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM)-related autoantibodies; only one patient tested positive for glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies. CT imaging revealed significant pancreatic atrophy, with a median pancreatic volume decrease of 19.92% (P = 0.038) from baseline and sustained significant decline at last follow-up (median - 37.14%, P = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS ICI-DM is often accompanied by pancreatic atrophy and approximately two-thirds of patients initially present with DKA. Although the majority of ICI-DM patients lack T1DM-related autoantibodies, identifying diminished pancreatic volumes through CT imaging provides valuable clues into the subclinical aspects of ICI-DM development, aiding in the prevention of diabetic emergencies.

Abstract
Fulminant type 1 diabetes is a subtype of type 1 diabetes in which beta cells are destroyed within days or a few weeks. The first criterion indicates a rise in blood glucose levels shown in the patient's history. The second suggests that the increase occurs suddenly within a very short period, as shown by the laboratory findings of the discrepancy between the glycated hemoglobin concentration and plasma glucose level. The third indicates a marked reduction in endogenous insulin secretion, which indicates almost complete destruction of beta cells. Fulminant type 1 diabetes is a common subtype in East Asian countries, including Japan, but rare in Western countries. Class II human leukocyte antigen and other genetic factors may have contributed to the skewed distribution. Environmental factors may also be involved including entero and herpes viruses and immune regulation during drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome; pregnancy may also affect it. In contrast, treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor of the anti-programmed cell death 1 antibody induces similar characteristics and incidence of diabetes as fulminant type 1 diabetes. Further studies are needed to clarify the etiology and clinical characteristics of fulminant type 1 diabetes. Although the incidence of this disease differs between the East and West, it is life-threatening; thus, it is important to diagnose fulminant type 1 diabetes without delay and treat it appropriately.

Abstract
Fulminant type 1 diabetes is a relatively new subtype of type 1 diabetes characterised by a sudden onset of severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in patients with no history of diabetes and can cause imminent death if untreated. We discuss a rare case of a Pacific Islander woman who was 36 weeks pregnant and presented to the emergency department with DKA and fetal death in utero having had a normal glucose tolerance test 4 weeks earlier. She was diagnosed with fulminant type 1 diabetes and was treated with an intravenous insulin-dextrose infusion. She delivered a stillborn female infant and was discharged on regular subcuticular insulin. This case is helpful in understanding a rare, lethal disease that is not well reported globally and especially in Australia, as it requires prompt recognition and treatment to prevent detrimental outcomes.

Abstract
Vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been used worldwide since the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. However, several negative side-effects of these vaccines have been reported. Herein, we present a case of a patient with fulminant type 1 diabetes that developed shortly after administration of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. A 47-year-old man with no medical history presented with hyperglycemia-related symptoms shortly after receiving the third messenger ribonucleic acid SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Based on hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis at onset, relatively low hemoglobin A1c levels, and complete depletion of endogenous insulin secretion, the patient was diagnosed with fulminant type 1 diabetes and insulin therapy was initiated. Through human leukocyte antigen genotyping, the disease-susceptible alleles for type 1 diabetes, DRB1*04:05 and DQB1*04:01, were identified. The patient tested positive for serum anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies, which are normally negative for fulminant type 1 diabetes, implying that immunomodulation triggered by SARS-CoV-2 vaccination influenced the onset of type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
As a new group of anticancer drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have exhibited favorable antitumor efficacy in numerous malignant tumors. Anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4), anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and anti-programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) are three kinds of ICIs widely used in clinical practice. However, ICI therapy (monotherapy or combination therapy) is always accompanied by a unique toxicity profile known as immune-related adverse events (irAEs) affecting multiple organs. The endocrine glands are common targets of irAEs induced by ICIs, which cause type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) when the pancreas is affected. Although the incidence rate of ICI-induced T1DM is rare, it will always lead to an irreversible impairment of β-cells and be potentially life-threatening. Hence, it is vital for endocrinologists and oncologists to obtain a comprehensive understanding of ICI-induced T1DM and its management. In our present manuscript, we have reviewed the epidemiology, pathology and mechanism, diagnosis, management, and treatments of ICI-induced T1DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the increasing application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in cancer therapy, the occurrence of isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency (IAD), as an adverse effect, is also on the rise. Nevertheless, there are only a few studies regarding IAD induced by ICI. This study aimed at investigating the characteristics of IAD induced by ICI and its relationship with other endocrine adverse events. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted in the Endocrinology Department from January 2019 to August 2022 to investigate characteristics of patients with IAD. Clinical features, laboratory findings and treatment information were collected. All patients underwent a follow-up of 3-6-month. RESULTS 28 patients with IAD were enrolled. All patients received treatment with anti-PD-1/ PD-L1. The median occurrence time of IAD was 24 (18-39) weeks after initiation of ICI treatment. Over half of the patients (53.5%) had an additional endocrinopathy, including primary hypothyroidism and fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (FT1DM), while other types of endocrinopathies were not identified. The interval between the occurrences of two gland damages was between 4 and 21 weeks or simultaneous. Primary hypothyroidism (46.4%) was more prevalent than FT1DM (7.1%). Fatigue and nausea were common symptoms, with a frequent occurrence of hyponatremia. All patients continued on oral glucocorticoids during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS IAD induced by ICI could manifest independently, or more frequently in combination with hypothyroidism or FT1DM. This damage could happen at any point of ICI treatment. Given that IAD can be life-threatening, it is critical to evaluate pituitary function dynamically in patients undergoing immunotherapy.

Abstract
The rubric of immune-related (ir) diabetes mellitus (DM) (irDM) encompasses various hyperglycemic disorders related to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPis). Beyond sharing similarities with conventional DM, irDM is a distinct, yet important, entity. The present narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of the literature regarding irDM published in major databases from January 2018 until January 2023. Initially considered rare, irDM is increasingly being reported. To advance the knowledge of irDM, the present review suggests a concerted vision comprising two intertwined aspects: a scientific-centered and a patient-centered view. The scientific-centered aspect addresses the pathophysiology of irDM, integrating: (i) ICPi-induced pancreatic islet autoimmunity in genetically predisposed patients; (ii) altered gut microbiome; (iii) involvement of exocrine pancreas; (iv) immune-related acquired generalized lipodystrophy. The patient-centered aspect is both nurtured by and nurturing the four pillars of the scientific-centered aspect: awareness, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of irDM. The path forward is a multidisciplinary initiative towards: (i) improved characterization of the epidemiological, clinical, and immunological profile of irDM; (ii) standardization of reporting, management, and surveillance protocols for irDM leveraging global registries; (iii) patient stratification according to personalized risk for irDM; (iv) new treatments for irDM; and (v) uncoupling ICPi efficacy from immunotoxicity.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders with different etiologies, pathogeneses and clinical pictures, characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to abnormal insulin secretion or action. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is the most common type of diabetes mellitus in children and adolescents, accounting for about 90% of diabetes in the population under the age of 18. The etiopathogenesis of type 1 diabetes is multifactorial. The disease occurs as a result of the interaction of three factors: genetic predisposition, environmental factors and the immune response. Research in recent years has focused on the involvement of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the pathogenesis of type I diabetes. The goals of treating type 1 diabetes include maintaining blood-glucose, fructosamine and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels; therefore, the main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of EBV infection on the activation of selected immune cells, fructosamine levels and HbA1c levels in children with type I diabetes. Based on our study, we found a lower percentage of CD8+ T lymphocytes with expression of the CD69 molecule in patients with anti-VCA antibodies in the IgG class, and a lower percentage of CD8+ T lymphocytes with expression of the CD25+ molecule in patients with anti-EBNA-1 antibodies in the IgG class, which may indicate limited control of the immune system during EBV infection in patients. There was a lower percentage of CD3+CD4+ T lymphocytes secreting IL-4 in the study group, indicating that a deficiency in IL-4 production may be related to the development of type 1 diabetes. There was an increase in the percentage of CD4+CD3+IL-10 lymphocytes in the study group with anti-VCA antibodies present in the IgG class and anti-EBNA-1 antibodies in the IgG class compared to the patients without antibodies. In addition, there was a significant increase in fructosamine levels and higher glycated hemoglobin levels in the study group with antibodies to EBV antigens. In addition, an increase in the percentage of T lymphocytes with a CD4+CD3+IL-17+ phenotype in the patients with anti-VCA IgG antibodies was confirmed, and higher HbA1c levels may suggest that EBV infection is accompanied by an increase in IL-17 secretion.

Re-Enlightenment of Fulminant Type 1 Diabetes under the COVID-19 Pandemic. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11111662. [DOI: 10.3390/biology11111662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D) is a subtype of type 1 diabetes (T1D) that is characterized by the rapid progression to diabetic ketoacidosis against the background of rapid and almost complete pancreatic islet destruction. The HbA1c level at FT1D onset remains normal or slightly elevated despite marked hyperglycemia, reflecting the rapid clinical course of the disease, and is an important marker for diagnosis. FT1D often appears following flu-like symptoms, and there are many reports of its onset being linked to viral infections. In addition, disease-susceptibility genes have been identified in FT1D, suggesting the involvement of host factors in disease development. In most cases, islet-related autoantibodies are not detected, and histology of pancreatic tissue reveals macrophage and T cell infiltration of the islets in the early stages of FT1D, suggesting that islet destruction occurs via an immune response different from that occurring in autoimmune type 1 diabetes. From 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread worldwide and became a serious problem. Reports on the association between SARS-CoV-2 and T1D are mixed, with some suggesting an increase in T1D incidence due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When discussing the association between COVID-19 and T1D, it is also necessary to focus on FT1D. However, it is not easy to diagnose this subtype without understanding the concept. Therefore, authors hereby review the concept and the latest findings of FT1D, hoping that the association between COVID-19 and T1D will be adequately evaluated in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fulminant type 1 diabetes may uniquely occur as a fatal adverse event during immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. We investigated the clinical and immunological characteristics of ICI-associated fulminant type 1 diabetes (IFD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We enrolled 80 patients with IFD (77 cases from the literature), 56 patients with ICI-associated type 1 diabetes (IT1D) (55 cases from the literature), 45 patients with traditional fulminant type 1 diabetes (TFD), and 43 patients with acute-onset type 1 diabetes for comprehensive analysis including islet autoantibodies and subgroup analysis based on ethnic origin. RESULTS Patients with IFD accounted for 58.8% (80/136) of patients with ICI-related diabetes. IFD had a more rapid onset than IT1D after ICI therapy (90.5 days vs. 120 days, p <0.05). The onset time and number of infusions after ICI therapy initiation were lower in the antibody-positive IFD group than that in the antibody-negative IFD group (both p <0.001). IFD had a more rapid onset and more serious among Caucasians than that among Asians (p <0.01, p <0.05, respectively), and the prevalence of islet autoantibody positivity in the Caucasian IFD were prominently higher than those in the Asian IFD (p <0.05). Onset age and plasma glucose levels were significantly higher in the IFD group than those in the TFD and acute-onset type 1 diabetes groups. HbA1c levels were slightly higher in patients with IFD than those with TFD. CONCLUSIONS IFD is relatively common in Caucasian population where TFD is very rare or almost absent. IFD occurrence is significantly related to islet autoantibody status and ethnic origin.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease resulted from the unrestrained inflammatory attack towards the insulin-producing islet β cells. Although the exact etiology underlying T1D remains elusive, viral infections, especially those specific strains of enterovirus, are acknowledged as a critical environmental cue involved in the early phase of disease initiation. Viral infections could either directly impede β cell function, or elicit pathological autoinflammatory reactions for β cell killing. Autoimmune responses are bolstered by a massive body of virus-derived exogenous pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and the presence of β cell-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). In particular, the nucleic acid components and the downstream nucleic acid sensing pathways serve as the major effector mechanism. The endogenous retroviral RNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and genomic fragments generated by stressed or dying β cells induce host responses reminiscent of viral infection, a phenomenon termed as viral mimicry during the early stage of T1D development. Given that the interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) are considered as hub transcription factors to modulate immune responses relevant to viral infection, we thus sought to summarize the critical role of IRFs in T1D pathogenesis. We discuss with focus for the impact of IRFs on the sensitivity of β cells to cytokine stimulation, the vulnerability of β cells to viral infection/mimicry, and the intensity of immune response. Together, targeting certain IRF members, alone or together with other therapeutics, could be a promising strategy against T1D.

Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:884878. [PMID: 35873569 PMCID: PMC9305474 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.884878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (FT1DM) is a new subtype of type 1 diabetes, first proposed by Japanese scholars in 2000. Herein, the functions of the islets are rapidly destroyed. Its pathogenesis is related to viral infection. Most people have been infected with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), and many people have also suffered from drug hypersensitivity, however, few cases of FT1DM which were caused by both of the two conditions have been reported. Thus, below, we describe one such valuable case.Case Summary: The plasma glucose levels of a 73‐year‐old man diagnosed with drug-induced dermatitis showed a sudden increase (42 mmol/L) during methylprednisolone therapy. The urine ketone test was positive. The glycated hemoglobin level was 7%, endogenous insulin secretion decreased significantly, and the islet-related autoantibodies were negative. The patient was diagnosed with FT1DM. The lymphocyte EBV-DNA showed high copies numbers. The general condition of the patient improved after symptomatic treatment with insulin. However, the systemic allergic reaction aggravated after the use of iodinated contrast agents, prednisone, and thymic pentapeptide. The re-test for EBV-DNA showed significantly high relative levels, thus indicating the presence of EBV infection. We think that drug hypersensitivity and EBV infection together led to FT1DM in this case. After an indication for multiple daily insulin therapy, the patient’s blood glucose was quickly controlled and he was discharged on the 38th-day post-admission.Conclusion: FT1DM is a rare case, however, drug hypersensitivity and EBV infection are not rare in the population. This is a rare case of FT1DM caused by drug hypersensitivity reaction and EBV infection. Through this case report, we emphasize the importance of the relationship between drug hypersensitivity, EBV infection and FT1DM and vigilance for the occurrence of FT1DM among hypersensitive individuals in clinical practice.

Abstract
An 81-year-old woman with a background of metastatic melanoma on pembrolizumab with no history of diabetes was brought into the emergency department with polyuria, polydipsia and weight loss. The initial assessment was consistent with severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and prerenal acute kidney injury with no clinical evidence of infection. The patient was treated with fluid resuscitation and an insulin infusion and eventually transitioned to a basal-bolus insulin regime, which was continued after discharge. Diabetes autoantibody screen returned negative, and she was diagnosed with immune checkpoint inhibitor–induced diabetes mellitus (ICI-induced DM) due to pembrolizumab. The patient has clinically improved and pembrolizumab was continued. The aim of this report is to highlight the importance of recognising ICI-induced DM as a rare immune-related adverse event in patients receiving programmed cell death protein 1/programmed cell death protein-ligand 1 inhibitor therapy and provide clinicians with insight into immune checkpoint endocrinopathies with an emphasis on diabetes and DKA.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION We aimed to determine the hospital-based prevalence and clinical features of fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus in Korea. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified all patients with diabetes who regularly visited the Endocrinology outpatient clinics at eight centers for a period >1 year between January 2012 and June 2017. We investigated their medical records retrospectively. RESULTS During this period, 76,309 patients with diabetes had been regularly followed up. Among them, 913 (1.2%) patients had type 1 diabetes mellitus . There were 462 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus whose data at the time of the first diagnosis could be identified (359 and 103 with non-ketosis and ketosis onset, respectively). Of these, 15 (3.2% of type 1 diabetes mellitus, 14.6% of ketosis onset diabetes) patients had fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus. The median ages at diagnosis were 40 and 27 years in the fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus and non-fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus groups, respectively. The patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus had higher body mass index, lower glycated hemoglobin and fasting/peak C-peptide, and lower frequent glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody-positive rate (P =0.0010) at diagnosis. Furthermore, they had lower glycated hemoglobin at the last follow-up examination than those with non-fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSIONS In this study, the prevalence of type 1 diabetes mellitus was 1.2% among all patients with diabetes, and that of fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus was 3.2% among those newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The glycated hemoglobin levels were lower in patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus than in those with non-fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus at diagnosis and at the last follow-up examination.

Abstract
Simple Summary Immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (ICI-induced IDDM) is an emerging form of autoimmune diabetes. We describe the characteristics of 34 patients who developed ICI-induced IDDM across five Canadian cancer centres. We observed that presentation with hyperglycemic crisis is common and that patients treated with combination immunotherapy regimens develop ICI-induced IDDM earlier than those treated with monotherapy. Our results suggest that ICI-induced IDDM is irreversible but is associated with high tumor response rates and prolonged survival. The data generated by this study may help clinicians manage ICI-induced IDDM. Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a rare but potentially fatal immune-related adverse event (irAE). In this multicentre retrospective cohort study, we describe the characteristics of ICI-induced IDDM in patients treated across five Canadian cancer centres, as well as their tumor response rates and survival. In 34 patients identified, 25 (74%) were male and 19 (56%) had melanoma. All patients received anti-programed death 1 (anti-PD1) or anti-programmed death ligand-1 (anti-PD-L1)-based therapy. From ICI initiation, median time to onset of IDDM was 2.4 months (95% CI 1.1–3.6). Patients treated with anti-PD1/PD-L1 in combination with an anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 antibody developed IDDM earlier compared with patients on monotherapy (1.4 vs. 3.9 months, p = 0.05). Diabetic ketoacidosis occurred in 21 (62%) patients. Amongst 30 patients evaluable for response, 10 (33%) had a complete response and another 10 (33%) had a partial response. Median overall survival was not reached (95% CI NE; median follow-up 31.7 months). All patients remained insulin-dependent at the end of follow-up. We observed that ICI-induced IDDM is an irreversible irAE and may be associated with a high response rate and prolonged survival.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a proinflammatory pathology that leads to the specific destruction of insulin producing β-cells and hyperglycaemia. Much of the knowledge about type 1 diabetes (T1D) has focused on mechanisms of disease progression such as adaptive immune cells and the cytokines that control their function, whereas mechanisms linked with the initiation of the disease remain unknown. It has been hypothesized that in addition to genetics, environmental factors play a pivotal role in triggering β-cell autoimmunity. The BioBreeding Diabetes Resistant (BBDR) and LEW1.WR1 rats have been used to decipher the mechanisms that lead to virus-induced T1D. Both animals develop β-cell inflammation and hyperglycemia upon infection with the parvovirus Kilham Rat Virus (KRV). Our earlier in vitro and in vivo studies indicated that KRV-induced innate immune upregulation early in the disease course plays a causal role in triggering β-cell inflammation and destruction. Furthermore, we recently found for the first time that infection with KRV induces inflammation in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) detectable as early as day 1 post-infection prior to insulitis and hyperglycemia. The proinflammatory response in VAT is associated with macrophage recruitment, proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine upregulation, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and oxidative stress responses, apoptosis, and downregulation of adipokines and molecules that mediate insulin signaling. Downregulation of inflammation suppresses VAT inflammation and T1D development. These observations are strikingly reminiscent of data from obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in which VAT inflammation is believed to play a causal role in disease mechanisms. We propose that VAT inflammation and dysfunction may be linked with the mechanism of T1D progression.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are widely used in oncology for their favourable antitumor efficacy. ICI therapy is associated with a unique toxicity profile known as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). One such irAE is ICI-related diabetes mellitus (DM), which is relatively uncommon but can become extremely severe, leading to irreversible impairment of β-cells, and even lead to death if not promptly recognised and properly managed. The precise mechanisms of ICI-related DM are not well understood. In this review, we summarise the clinical characteristics, pathophysiology, and management of this adverse effect caused by ICI therapy. Deeper investigation of ICI-related DM may contribute to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of classical type 1 DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease that combines genetics and environmental factors. The aim of this study is to determine the environmental risk factors and to investigate how virals infections are risks factors for type 1 diabetics whom have HLA DR3/DR4 predisposition in our population. METHODS This study includes 233 subjects, 145 diabetics and 88 controls from regions of the extreme western of Algeria. All the informations related to the disease were collected using predesigned questionnaire. Using in silico approach, we attempt to improve the understanding of this analytical result by molecular mimicry, which is associated with the breakdown of several autoimmune pathologies. RESULTS The statistical study showed that history of varicella and measles infection and T1D related inheritance and type 2 diabetes are risk factors for T1D in the population of Tlemcen. We have determined the homologous antigenic regions between the glycoprotein "gE" of the varicella virus, the "hemagglutinin" of measles and the human protein "HSP60" at the level of their sequence and 3D structure. These cross-reactive epitopes bind to MHC class II molecules (HLA DR3/DR4) that predispose to T1D but not to MHC class II molecules (HLA DR2) that protect against T1D. This epitopes induce Th2 cells but only "hemagglutinin" and "Hsp60" can activate Th1 differentiation. This indicates their potential to destroy pancreatic cells β. CONCLUSION Our study can allow us to adapt biological markers to genetically predisposed T1D and to establish a preventive strategy for healthy genetic predisposed individuals in Tlemcen population.

Abstract
Objective Fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D) is a type of type 1 diabetes, which is characterized by rapid onset of disease and severe metabolic disorders. We intend to screen for crucial genes and potential molecular mechanisms in FT1D in this study. Method We downloaded GSE44314, which includes six healthy controls and five patients with FT1D, from the GEO database. Identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was performed by NetworkAnalyst. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses of DEGs were screened by an online tool-Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integration Discovery (DAVID). Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and hub genes among DEGs were analyzed by NetworkAnalyst. And we also use NetworkAnalyst to find out the microRNAs (miRNAs) and transcription factors (TFs) which regulate the expression of DEGs. Result We identified 130 DEGs (60 upregulated and 70 downregulated DEGs) between healthy controls and FT1D patients. GO analysis results revealed that DEGs were mostly enriched in generation of precursor metabolites and energy, neurohypophyseal hormone activity, and mitochondrial inner membrane. KEGG pathway analysis demonstrated that DEGs were mostly involved in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Results indicated that NCOA1, SRF, ERBB3, EST1, TOP1, UBE2S, INO80, COX7C, ITGAV, and COX6C were the top hub genes in the PPI network. Furthermore, we recognized that LDLR, POTEM, IFNAR2, BAZ2A, and SRF were the top hub genes in the miRNA-target gene network, and SRF, TSPAN4, CD59, ETS1, and SLC25A25 were the top hub genes in the TF-target gene network. Conclusion Our study pinpoints key genes and pathways associated with FT1D by a sequence of bioinformatics analysis on DEGs. These identified genes and pathways provide more detailed molecular mechanisms of FT1D and may provide novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) constitute a class of covalently circular non-coding RNA molecules formed by 5′ and 3′ end back-splicing. The rapid development of bioinformatics and large-scale sequencing has led to the identification of functional circRNAs. Despite an overall upward trend, studies focusing on the roles of circRNAs in immune diseases remain relatively scarce. In the present study, we obtained a differential circRNA expression profile based on microarray analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We characterized one differentially expressed circRNA back-spliced from the MYB Proto-Oncogene Like 2 (MYBL2) gene in patients with T1DM, termed as hsa_circ_0060450. Subsequent assays revealed that hsa_circ_0060450 can serve as the sponge of miR-199a-5p, release its target gene, Src homology 2 (SH2)-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2), encoded by the tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 11 gene (PTPN11), and further suppress the JAK-STAT signaling pathway triggered by type I interferon (IFN-I) to inhibit macrophage-mediated inflammation, which indicates the important roles of circRNAs in T1DM and represents a promising therapeutic molecule in the treatment of T1DM.

Abstract
Since fulminant type 1 diabetes was reported as a distinct subtype of type 1 diabetes in 2000, the Committee on Type 1 diabetes, Japan Diabetes Society has continuously recruited patients and conducted genomic research to elucidate the genetic basis of fulminant type 1 diabetes. The contribution of the human leukocyte antigen complex (HLA) to genetic susceptibility to fulminant type 1 diabetes was compared with that of other subtypes in 2009. The alleles and haplotypes associated with fulminant type 1 diabetes were found to be different from acute-onset and slowly progressive type 1 diabetes. DRB1*15:01-DQB1*06:02, a protective haplotype against acute-onset type 1 diabetes, does not provide protection against fulminant type 1 diabetes and DRB1*08:02-DQB1*03:02, a susceptible haplotype to acute-onset type 1 diabetes, does not confer susceptibility to fulminant type 1 diabetes. Recently, the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) of fulminant type 1 diabetes was performed in Japanese individuals. A strong association was observed with multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HLA region, and the strongest association was observed with rs9268853 in the class II DR region. In addition, 11 SNPs outside the HLA region showed some evidence of association with the disease. In particular, rs11170445 in CSAD/lnc-ITGB7-1 on chromosome 12q13.13 showed an association at a genome-wide significance level. Fine mapping revealed that rs3782151 in CSAD/lnc-ITGB7-1 showed the lowest P value. CSAD/lnc-ITGB7-1 was found to be strongly associated with susceptibility to fulminant, but not classical, autoimmune type 1 diabetes, implicating this locus in the distinct phenotype of fulminant type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (FT1D) is a newly established subtype of type 1 diabetes. Its etiology has not been fully elucidated. Several cases with FT1D have exhibited pancreatitis or myocarditis. CASE PRESENTATION We report a 31-year-old Japanese woman who showed upper abdominal pain and was admitted to a local hospital. She was initially diagnosed with acute pancreatitis based on serum amylase elevation and swelling of the pancreas on computed tomography. Four days after admission, she developed diabetic ketoacidosis and was transferred to our hospital. Her symptoms and laboratory findings met the FT1D criteria. On the 3rd hospital day, electrocardiography (ECG) showed ST-segment elevation, and serum cardiac enzymes were markedly elevated. Because she exhibited late gadolinium enhancement in the apical wall on contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, she was diagnosed as acute myocarditis. Abnormal ECG findings and elevations of biomarkers associated with myocarditis showed improvement on the next day. CONCLUSIONS This is the first case of FT1D accompanied by both pancreatitis and myocarditis and suggests that the pathophysiology of FT1D is related to the common etiology of acute pancreatitis and myocarditis.

Abstract
Enteroviruses, especially Coxsackie B viruses, are among the candidate environmental factors causative of type 1 diabetes. Host genetic factors have an impact on the development of virus-induced diabetes (VID). Host background, in terms of whether the host is prone to autoimmunity, should also be considered when analyzing the role of target genes in VID. In this review, we describe the genetic susceptibility of the host based on studies in humans and VID animal models. Understanding the host genetic factors should contribute not only to revealing the mechanisms of VID development, but also in taking measures to prevent VID.

Abstract
Fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (FT1DM) has received clinical attention for its low incidence and poor prognosis. Currently, few cases of FT1DM are associated with pregnancy in clinical practice, but it poses a great threat to the life of mothers and infants. Here, we present two cases of FT1DM in pregnancy. In Case 1, the patient was a 26-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital with reduced fetal movement. She was diagnosed with FT1DM and delivered a dead female fetus. Lispro and lantus were administered to control blood glucose, and lipoic acid for antioxidant therapy. In Case 2, the patient was a 28-year-old woman who developed nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and polydipsia, which later proved to be FT1DM. An abortion was induced and blood glucose levels were controlled using an insulin pump. All physicians should be aware of this disease in order to provide prompt diagnosis and emergency treatment, thus improving maternal prognosis. We suggest that plasma glucose/hemoglobin A1C ratio be adopted as a new clinical parameter in predicting FT1DM.

Abstract
Designated as scientific breakthrough of current decade, immune checkpoint inhibitors attenuate the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathways, depriving cancer cells of a key strategy of evasion from immunosurveillance. The reinvigoration of immune response translates into clinical success, inevitably entwined with a novel constellation of immune-related adverse events. The present review dissects the endocrine immune-related adverse events, emphasizing their unique profile featured by unpredictable onset, irreversibility, nonspecific symptoms, wide clinical spectrum and sophisticated diagnostic work-up. Guidelines advocate individualized decision-making process guided by clinicians' judgement. Future perspective should be governed by five principles - prevention, anticipation, detection, treatment, monitoring - aiming to gain the optimal profit diminishing immunotoxicity.

Abstract
Viral infection is a putative causal factor for the development of type 1 diabetes, but the exact pathogenic mechanism of virus-induced diabetes (VID) remains unclear. Here, to identify the critical factors that regulate VID, we analyzed encephalomyocarditis D (EMC-D) VID-sensitive DBA/2 mice in comparison with resistant B6 mice. EMC-D virus-induced cell death occurred more frequently in DBA/2 β-cells than in B6 β-cells with 100U/ml IFN-β priming in vitro. We therefore purified β-cells using flow cytometry from mice two days after EMC-D virus infection and subjected them to microarray analysis. As a results, innate immune response pathway was found to be enriched in B6 β-cells. The signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 (Stat2) gene interacted with genes in the pathway. Stat2 gene expression levels were lower in DBA/2 mice than in B6 mice, restrictive to β-cells. Moreover, administration of IFN-β failed to upregulate Stat2 gene in DBA/2 β-cells than in those of B6 in vivo. The viral titer significantly increased only in the DBA/2 pancreas. Thus, these provided data suggest that impaired upregulation of Stat2 gene restrictive to β-cells at the early stage of infection is responsible for VID development in DBA/2 mice.

Abstract
Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) is a ubiquitous pathogen associated with nervous and endocrine autoimmune disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of HHV-6 in pancreatic tissue sections from non-diabetic, auto-antibody positive (AAB+), and donors with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and explore whether there is any association between HHV-6 and MHC class I hyperexpression and CD8 T cell infiltration. HHV-6 DNA was detected by PCR and its protein was examined by indirect immunofluorescence assay followed by imaging using high-resolution confocal microscopy. Viral DNA (U67) was found in most pancreata of non-diabetic (3 out of 4), AAB+ (3 out of 5) and T1D donors (6 out of 7). Interestingly, HHV-6 glycoprotein B (gB) was more expressed in islets and exocrine pancreas of donors with T1D. However, gB expression was not directly associated with other pathologies. Out of 20 islets with high gB expression, only 3 islets (15%) showed MHC class I hyperexpression. Furthermore, no correlation was found between gB expression and CD8 T cell infiltration on a per-islet basis in any of the groups. Our observations indicate that HHV-6 DNA and protein are present in the pancreas of non-diabetic subjects but gB expression is higher in the pancreas of donors with T1D. The possible role of HHV-6 as a contributory factor for T1D should therefore be further investigated.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) results from the destruction of pancreatic β-cells that is mediated by the immune system. Multiple genetic and environmental factors found in variable combinations in individual patients are involved in the development of T1DM. Genetic risk is defined by the presence of particular allele combinations, which in the major susceptibility locus (the HLA region) affect T cell recognition and tolerance to foreign and autologous molecules. Multiple other loci also regulate and affect features of specific immune responses and modify the vulnerability of β-cells to inflammatory mediators. Compared with the genetic factors, environmental factors that affect the development of T1DM are less well characterized but contact with particular microorganisms is emerging as an important factor. Certain infections might affect immune regulation, and the role of commensal microorganisms, such as the gut microbiota, are important in the education of the developing immune system. Some evidence also suggests that nutritional factors are important. Multiple islet-specific autoantibodies are found in the circulation from a few weeks to up to 20 years before the onset of clinical disease and this prediabetic phase provides a potential opportunity to manipulate the islet-specific immune response to prevent or postpone β-cell loss. The latest developments in understanding the heterogeneity of T1DM and characterization of major disease subtypes might help in the development of preventive treatments.

Abstract
Acute type 1 diabetes (AD1) is a rare but definitive immune-related adverse event associated with anti-PD1. Most of the reported cases are close to what has been described as "fulminant type 1 diabetes." We sought to determine whether anti-PD1 could impair glycoregulation and whether occurrence of AD1 could be anticipated by prior glycemic changes. Fasting glycemia collected before, under, and after treatment in melanoma patients treated with anti-PD1 over a period of 36 months were retrospectively analyzed. Glycemic trend analyses were performed using linear regression analysis. In total, 1470 glucose values were monitored in 163 patients treated for a mean duration of 5.96 months. Three patients developed an AD1 (1, 84%). Two other cases were observed in the same period in a still-blinded trial of anti-PD1 versus ipilimumab. All cases of AD1 occurred in patients with a normal pretreatment glycemia, and there was no detectable drift of glycemia before ketoacidosis onset. In 4 of 5 cases of AD1, the HLA subgroups were DRB01* 03 or 04, known to increase type 1 diabetes risk in the general population. In the 28 patients with preexisting type 2 diabetes, there was a slight trend for glycemia increase with anti-PD1 infusions (0.05 mmol/L/infusion P=0.004). In the 132 patients with normal pretreatment glycemia, there was a slight trend for a decrease of glycemia with anti-PD1 infusions (-0.012/mmol/L/infusion P=0.026). These data suggest that the monitoring of glycemia under anti-PD1 cannot help to anticipate AD1, and there is no general tendency to glycemic disorder. HLA genotyping before treatment may help to focus surveillance in patients with the HLA DRB1*03/04 group.

Abstract
We reviewed fulminant type 1 diabetes, a recently established subtype of type 1 diabetes, from the aspects of genes, viruses, immune mechanism and usefulness of patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In an analysis of the pancreas of patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes, viral antigens and viral receptors were expressed in β-cells, as well as macrophages and T lymphocytes surrounding the β-cells. These findings suggest that the β-cells of patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes are destroyed during an immune response against viral infection of the pancreas. Recently, fulminant type 1 diabetes was induced by treatment with anti-programmed cell death 1 antibodies, suggesting that immune regulatory mechanisms are also involved in the onset of this disease. We generated iPSCs from patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes for the first time. We also successfully differentiated patient-derived iPSCs into insulin-producing cells in vitro, and produced a disease model. The proportion of cytokine-induced apoptotic cells among insulin-positive cells was higher in the iPSCs from patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes than in iPSCs from healthy control participants. We carried out ribonucleic acid sequencing in insulin-producing cells differentiated from patient-derived iPSCs, and are now attempting to identify new biomarkers for the disease.

Abstract
The patient was a 71-year-old woman with aquaporin-4-antibody positive neuromyelitis optica (NMO), with no history of diabetes. On admission, although she showed an extremely elevated plasma glucose level (1,080 mg/dL), her hemoglobin A1c level was low (7.1%), which indicated the rapid progression of diabetes. She also showed ketoacidosis and had a human leukocyte antigen haplotype, DRB1*09:01-DQB1*03:03 associated with Fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D). Based on these results, the patient was diagnosed with FT1D. We herein describe the first reported case of a patient with FT1D with NMO, which raises the possibility that T-cell-mediated autoimmunity is involved in the pathogenesis of both FT1D and NMO.

Abstract
AIMS Programmed cell death-1 and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors restore antitumor immunity, but many autoimmune side-effects have been described. Diabetes mellitus is a rare complication, and little data concerning its pathophysiology and phenotype have been published. This study aimed to describe both pancreatic endocrine and exocrine functions, immunological features and change in pancreas volume in subjects with diabetes mellitus induced by PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors. METHODS We analyzed the data of six subjects treated with immunotherapy who presented acute diabetes. RESULTS There were five men and one woman. Median age was 67 years (range 55-83). Three subjects were treated with nivolumab, two with pembrolizumab and one with durvalumab. Median time to diabetes onset after immunotherapy initiation was 4 months (range 2-13). Four patients presented fulminant diabetes (FD); none of these had type 1 diabetes (T1D)-related autoantibodies, none of them had T1D or FD-very high-risk HLA class II profiles. The bi-hormonal endocrine and exocrine pancreatic failure previously reported for one FD patient was not found in other FD subjects, but glucagon response was blunted in another FD patient. Pancreas volume was decreased at diabetes onset in 2 FD patients, and all patients presented a subsequent decrease of pancreas volume during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS In the patients presented herein, immunotherapy-induced diabetes was not associated with T1D-related autoantibodies. The hormonal and morphological analysis of the pancreatic glands of these six cases contributes to the understanding of the underlying and probably heterogeneous mechanisms. There is a need to find biomarkers to identify patients at risk to develop these new forms of diabetes at early stages of the process to prevent ketoacidosis and to evaluate preventive strategies.

Abstract
The first genome-wide association study of fulminant type 1 diabetes was performed in Japanese individuals. As previously reported using a candidate gene approach, a strong association was observed with multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HLA region, and the strongest association was observed with rs9268853 in the class II DR region (P = 1.56 × 10-23, odds ratio [OR] 3.18). In addition, rs11170445 in CSAD/lnc-ITGB7-1 on chromosome 12q13.13 showed an association at a genome-wide significance level (P = 7.58 × 10-9, OR 1.96). Fine mapping of the region revealed that rs3782151 in CSAD/lnc-ITGB7-1 showed the lowest P value (P = 4.60 × 10-9, OR 1.97 [95% CI 1.57-2.48]). The risk allele of rs3782151 is a cis expression quantitative trait locus for ITGB7 that significantly increases the expression of this gene. CSAD/lnc-ITGB7-1 was found to be strongly associated with susceptibility to fulminant, but not classical, autoimmune type 1 diabetes, implicating this locus in the distinct phenotype of fulminant type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to characterize blood glucose fluctuations in patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1DM) at the stable stage using continuous blood glucose monitoring systems (CGMSs). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Ten patients with FT1DM and 20 patients with classic type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) (the control group) were monitored using CGMSs for 72 hours. RESULTS The CGMS data showed that the mean blood glucose (MBG), the standard deviation of the blood glucose (SDBG), the mean amplitude glycemic excursions (MAGE), the blood glucose areas and the percentages of blood glucose levels below 13.9 mmol/L were similar between the two groups. However, the percentage of blood glucose levels below 3.9 mmol/L was significantly higher in the FT1DM group compared to the T1DM group (p < 0.05). The minimum (Min) blood glucose level in the FT1DM group was significantly lower than that of the T1DM group (p < 0.05). Patients with FT1DM had severe dysfunction of the islet beta cells and alpha cells compared to patients with T1DM, as indicated by lower C-peptide values and higher glucagon/C-peptide values. CONCLUSION In conclusion, patients with FT1DM at the stable stage were more prone to hypoglycemic episodes as recorded by CGMSs, and they had a greater association with severe dysfunction of both the beta and alpha islet cells compared to patients with T1DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence and incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in all age groups and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with T1DM in Korea were estimated. METHODS The incidence and prevalence of T1DM between 2007 and 2013 were calculated using the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) datasets of claims. Clinical characteristics and prevalence of metabolic syndrome in individuals with T1DM between 2009 and 2013 were determined using the database of NHIS preventive health checkups. RESULTS The prevalence of T1DM in Korea between 2007 and 2013 was 0.041% to 0.047%. The annual incidence rate of T1DM in Korea in 2007 to 2013 was 2.73 to 5.02/100,000 people. Although the incidence rate of typical T1DM was highest in teenagers, it remained steady in adults over 30 years of age. In contrast, the incidence rate of atypical T1DM in 2013 was higher in people aged 40 years or older than in younger age groups. Age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with T1DM was 51.65% to 55.06% between 2009 and 2013. CONCLUSION T1DM may be more common in Korean adults than previously believed. Metabolic syndrome may be a frequent finding in individuals with T1DM in Korea.

Abstract
There are 425 million people with diabetes mellitus in the world. By 2045, this figure will grow to over 600 million. Diabetes mellitus is classified among noncommunicable diseases. Evidence points to a key role of microbes in diabetes mellitus, both as infectious agents associated with the diabetic status and as possible causative factors of diabetes mellitus. This review takes into account the different forms of diabetes mellitus, the genetic determinants that predispose to type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (especially those with possible immunologic impact), the immune dysfunctions that have been documented in diabetes mellitus. Common infections occurring more frequently in diabetic vs. nondiabetic individuals are reviewed. Infectious agents that are suspected of playing an etiologic/triggering role in diabetes mellitus are presented, with emphasis on enteroviruses, the hygiene hypothesis, and the environment. Among biological agents possibly linked to diabetes mellitus, the gut microbiome, hepatitis C virus, and prion-like protein aggregates are discussed. Finally, preventive vaccines recommended in the management of diabetic patients are considered, including the bacillus calmette-Guerin vaccine that is being tested for type 1 diabetes mellitus. Evidence supports the notion that attenuation of immune defenses (both congenital and secondary to metabolic disturbances as well as to microangiopathy and neuropathy) makes diabetic people more prone to certain infections. Attentive microbiologic monitoring of diabetic patients is thus recommendable. As genetic predisposition cannot be changed, research needs to identify the biological agents that may have an etiologic role in diabetes mellitus, and to envisage curative and preventive ways to limit the diabetes pandemic.

Abstract
Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death-ligand-1 (PD-L1) inhibitors have been highlighted in the field of cancer treatment. The interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 is thought to play an important role in the regulation of the self-immune tolerance mechanism, so blocking these molecules may cause serious immune-related adverse events (IrAE), including fulminant insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes. Here, we describe a patient with fulminant type 1 diabetes induced by nivolumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody. The patient, a 78-year-old man, was being treated with nivolumab as a third-line treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. After three cycles, he experienced an abrupt flare-up of the blood glucose within half a day. His blood glucose further increased without clinical symptoms until his hospital visit. Laboratory data showed the complete exhaustion of intrinsic insulin and the elevation of serum antibody titer to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD). Although the patient was previously diagnosed with non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes, his disease activity had been well controlled with oral medication and low-dose insulin therapy until just before the flare-up. Because of the laboratory findings and the extremely rapid onset of hyperglycemia, a diagnosis of fulminant, rather than the rapid onset, type 1 diabetes related to nivolumab therapy was strongly suspected. Our case study indicates that fulminant hyperglycemia can occur extremely rapidly. The blood glucose of patients receiving PD-1 antibody therapy should be closely monitored.

Abstract
Fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (FT1DM) is a subtype of type 1 diabetes mellitus characterized by a remarkably abrupt onset. In Japan, FT1DM accounts for approximately 20% of acute-onset adult type 1 diabetes mellitus cases; however, reports of pediatric-onset FT1DM are rare. We aimed to determine the frequency and clinical characteristics of FT1DM in Japanese children and adolescents by conducting a 2-phase questionnaire survey among the members of the Japanese Study Group of Insulin Therapy for Childhood and Adolescent Diabetes (JSGIT) regarding their clinical experience with FT1DM. Responses were obtained from 54 of the 79 participating hospitals (68.4%). Of these, 8 hospitals managed a total of 15 pediatric patients with FT1DM (4 patients in each of 2 hospitals, 2 patients in 1 hospital, and 1 patient in each of 5 hospitals). The distribution of patient age was biphasic, with peaks in children younger than 5 years and older than 8 years of age. The clinical characteristics of FT1DM in this population (such as the duration from onset of symptoms to diagnosis, severity of symptoms, preceding flu-like episodes, and abnormal laboratory data) did not differ from those of patients with adult-onset FT1DM. The frequency of pediatric-onset FT1DM is low compared with that of adult-onset FT1DM. The genetic background and susceptibility patterns of pediatric patients with FT1DM may differ from those typical of adults with FT1DM, but both age groups share similar clinical characteristics.

Abstract
An 80-year-old woman with malignant melanoma received 20 cycles of anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) antibody (nivolumab) treatment and showed normal glucose tolerance. Three weeks after switching to anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) antibody (ipilimumab), her plasma glucose level was elevated to 639 mg/dL, her HbA1c was 7.7%, and her fastening serum C-peptide immunoreactivity was undetectable. Anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase and insulinoma-associated protein-2 antibodies were negative. She was diagnosed with fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (F1DM). Remarkably, her anti-insulin antibody was positively converted, and her Sialylated Carbohydrate Antigen, Krebs von den Lungen-6 levels increased after ipilimumab therapy. She possessed F1DM-susceptible Human Leukocyte Antigen-DR4. A fluorescence activated cell sorting analysis showed an altered T-cell population. This case of F1DM highlights specific mechanisms underlying pancreatic beta cell immunity.

Abstract
Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) is a severe systemic adverse drug reaction. Previous studies showed that DIHS is associated with the onset of fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (FT1D). Although genetic background and abnormalities in immune response or viral infection are considered to be associated with pathogenesis of FT1D, it remains unclear whether virus infection and specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing are involved in DIHS-associated FT1D. Here, we report a case of a 78-year-old female patient with FT1D after DIHS treatment. She was diagnosed as DIHS caused by carbamazepine, and treatment with predonisolone was initiated. After 46 days from the occurrence of DIHS, she was admitted to our hospital because of type 1 diabetes mellitus and diabetic ketoacidosis. Although her Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was elevated by predonisolone treatment (HbA1c: 9.2%), we diagnosed her as fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus considering the abrupt onset of the ketoacidosis. Her general condition was improved by treatment with fluid infusion and insulin administration. During her clinical course, the infection of coxsackie B4 virus was observed. In addition, the examination of HLA typing showed HLA-A24 haplotype. These findings suggest that the coxsackie B4 virus infection may be involved in the pathogenesis of DIHS-induced FT1D, and that HLA-A24 haplotype might relate to DIHS-associated FT1D.

Abstract
Background Anti-PD-1 agents were approved for advanced melanoma after the landmark trial Checkmate-037. Anti-PD-1 agents can breach immunologic tolerance. Fulminant diabetes is an immune endocrinopathy that results from a violent immune attack leading to complete destruction of pancreatic beta cells in genetically predisposed people. We present a rare case of fulminant diabetes precipitated by anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. Case A 61-year-old male with advanced melanoma presented with a three-day history of nausea, vomiting, and malaise. He was started on nivolumab and ipilimumab. After the third dose, he developed a generalized rash and was prescribed high-dose prednisone. Labs revealed potassium 9.5 mmol/L, sodium 127 mmol/L, bicarbonate <10 mmol/L, blood glucose 1211 mg/dL, anion gap >31 mmol, arterial blood pH 7.14, and beta-hydroxybutyrate 13.7 mmol/L. He was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis. Hemoglobin A1C was 6.9%. C-peptide was undetectable (<0.1 ng/ml). Glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies, zinc transporter 8 autoantibodies, insulin autoantibodies, islet antigen 2 autoantibodies, and islet cell antibodies were all negative. Conclusion Anti-PD-1 immunotherapy is effective in cancers refractory to standard chemotherapy. These agents can precipitate autoimmune disorders. As the use of anti-PD-1 agents is expected to rise, physicians should be educated about the potential side effects. We recommend conducting routine blood glucose checks in patients on these agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to investigate the presence of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6) A and B in human pancreata and to search for signs of active infection in this organ of subjects with and without type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS Pancreata from brain-dead organ donors with and without T1D were examined for the presence of HHV6 genomic sequences by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), transcripts by reverse transcriptase-PCR, and protein by immunohistochemistry. Quantitative PCR of isolated pancreatic islets and exocrine cell clusters was used to determine the intrapancreatic location of HHV6 DNA. RESULTS Human herpesvirus 6B genomic sequences were present in 1 of 2 donors who died of acute-onset T1D, 4 of 6 donors with long-standing T1D, and 9 of 12 nondiabetic donors. Higher copy numbers of HHV6B DNA were present in isolated islets than in exocrine tissue from the same donors. No signs of active HHV6 transcription were found. Human herpesvirus 6A was not present in any tested pancreas. CONCLUSIONS The herein presented data demonstrate, for the first time, the presence of a latent HHV6B infection in the pancreas and islets of Langerhans. Whether this virus can contribute to disease in the pancreas remains to be determined.

Abstract
Enteroviral infections have been associated with the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D), a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. Cultured human islets, including the insulin-producing beta cells, can be infected with coxsackievirus B4 (CVB4) and thus are useful for understanding cellular responses to infection. We performed quantitative mass spectrometry analysis on cultured primary human islets infected with CVB4 to identify molecules and pathways altered upon infection. Corresponding uninfected controls were included in the study for comparative protein expression analyses. Proteins were significantly and differentially regulated in human islets challenged with virus compared with their uninfected counterparts. Complementary analyses of gene transcripts in CVB4-infected primary islets over a time course validated the induction of RNA transcripts for many of the proteins that were increased in the proteomics studies. Notably, infection with CVB4 results in a considerable decrease in insulin. Genes/proteins modulated during CVB4 infection also include those involved in activation of immune responses, including type I interferon pathways linked to T1D pathogenesis and with antiviral, cell repair, and inflammatory properties. Our study applies proteomics analyses to cultured human islets challenged with virus and identifies target proteins that could be useful in T1D interventions.

Subtyping of Type 1 Diabetes as Classified by Anti-GAD Antibody, IgE Levels, and Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) Promoter Variant in the Japanese. EBioMedicine 2017; 23:46-51.

Abstract
Objective Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is known to be caused by Th1 cell-dependent autoimmunity. Recently, we reported that TYK2 promoter variant serves as a putative virus-induced diabetes susceptibility gene associated with deteriorated interferon-dependent antiviral response. TYK2 is also related to HIES, that is, Th2 cell-dependent. Therefore, TYK2 promoter variant may be also associated with the pathogenesis of T1D, modulating Th1/Th2 balance. Research Design and Methods We assessed the association between anti- GAD Ab, IgE levels, and TYK2 promoter variant among 313 T1D patients, 184 T2D patients, and 264 YH controls in the Japanese. Results T1D patients had elevated IgE (median, 56.7 U/ml; p < 0.0001) compared with T2D patients (22.5 U/ml) and controls (43.3 U/ml). Contrary to our expectations, there was no correlation between TYK2 promoter variant and IgE levels. We found that T1D could be subtyped as four groups based on anti-GAD Ab and IgE profile: Subtype 1, anti-GAD Ab positive and non-elevated IgE (47.0%); Subtype 2, anti-GAD Ab negative and non-elevated IgE (35.1%); Subtype 3, anti-GAD Ab positive and elevated IgE (10.9%); and Subtype 4, anti-GAD Ab negative and elevated IgE (7.0%). In Subtype 2, a significantly higher incidence was observed in T1D cases carrying the TYK2 promoter variant (OR, 2.60; 95%CI, 1.03–6.97; p = 0.032), and also showing a flu-like syndrome at diabetes onset (OR, 2.34; 95%CI, 1.27–4.35; p = 0.003). Interpretation Anti-GAD Ab and IgE profiling helps classifying T1D into four groups that recognize variable pathogenic bases of T1D. T1D can be subtyped into 4 groups based on anti-GAD Ab, IgE levels and TYK2 promoter variant. Only one subtype, without anti-GAD Ab or elevated IgE, was associated with TYK2 promoter variant and flu-like syndrome. Profiling of T1D by anti-GAD Ab and IgE levels is useful to realize the variable immuno-pathogenesis of T1D.
Since TYK2 gene is associated with T1D and HIES, we assessed the association between anti-GAD Ab, IgE levels, and TYK2 promoter variant in patients with T1D. Consequently, T1D can be subtyped into 4 distinct groups based on these clinical laboratory and genetic markers. Only those patients without anti-GAD Ab or elevated IgE were associated with TYK2 promoter variant and with flu-like syndrome at the diabetes onset, suggestive of association with virus-induced diabetes. This study describes the usefulness of subtyping of T1D with variable immunological bases and provides a clue to delineate the pathogenesis of T1D.

Abstract
Fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus is a recently identified subtype of type 1 diabetes characterized by abrupt disease onset, a very short (<1 week) duration of diabetic symptoms, acidosis at diagnosis, negative status of islet-related autoantibodies, and virtually no C-peptide secretion. Cases of fulminant type 1 diabetes are prominently observed in East Asia, with several case reports and studies having originated from Japan. Indeed, a recent study from Japan reported that fulminant type 1 diabetes accounts for 15-20% of type 1 diabetes cases associated with onset of ketosis or ketoacidosis. Since 2005, several fulminant type 1 diabetes cases have also been reported in South Korea; however, there have been no reports of cases in patients previously diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Here, we report a rare case of fulminant type 1 diabetes in a patient previously diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
