Abstract
Adult-onset autoimmune (AOA) diabetes pathophysiology starts with immune changes, followed by dysglycaemia and overt disease. AOA diabetes can occur as classic type 1 diabetes when associated with severe loss of insulin secretion. More frequently, it is diagnosed as latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, a slowly progressing form with late onset, a long period not requiring insulin, and it is often misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes. As its clinical presentation varies remarkably and immune markers often lack specificity, it is challenging to classify each case ad hoc, especially when insulin treatment is not required at diagnosis. Proper care of AOA diabetes aims to prevent complications and to improve quality of life and life expectancy. To achieve these goals, attention should be paid to lifestyle factors, with the aid of pharmacological therapies properly tailored to each individual clinical setting. Given the heterogeneity of the disease, choosing the right therapy for AOA diabetes is challenging. Most of the trials testing disease-modifying therapies for autoimmune diabetes are conducted in people with childhood onset, whereas non-insulin diabetes therapies have mostly been studied in the larger population with type 2 diabetes. More randomized controlled trials of therapeutic agents in AOA diabetes are needed.

Abstract
Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is a type of diabetes characterized by slow autoimmune damage of pancreatic β cells without insulin treatment in the early clinical stage. There are differences between LADA and classical type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in genetic background, autoimmune response, rate of islet function decline, clinical metabolic characteristics, and so on. The disease progression and drug response of patients with LADA are closely related to the level of islet autoimmunity, thus exploring the pathogenesis of LADA is of great significance for its prevention and treatment. Previous studies reported that adaptive immunity and innate immunity play a critical role in the etiology of LADA. Recent studies have shown that the intestinal microbiota which impacts host immunity hugely, participates in the pathogenesis of LADA. In addition, the progression of autoimmune pancreatic β cell destruction in LADA is slower than in classical T1D, providing a wider window of opportunities for intervention. Therefore, therapies including antidiabetic drugs with immune-regulation effects and immunomodulators could contribute to promising interventions for LADA. We also shed light on potential interventions targeting the gut microbiota and gut-associated immunity, which may be envisaged to halt or delay the process of autoimmunity in LADA.

Abstract
Antibodies (Abs) against intracellular epitopes of the tyrosine-phosphatase 2 (IA-2) are detected in type 1 diabetes. Abs directed against the IA-2(256-760) portion, with both intra- and extracellular epitopes, are present in people with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and in obese subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). We aim to characterize distribution and clinical features of intra- and extra-cellular IA-2(256-760) immunoreactivities in people with LADA compared to obese people with NGT. The intracellular immunoreactivity represented by immune response against two intracellular IA-2 constructs (IA-2JM(601-630) and IA-2IC(605-979)) was analyzed and related to clinical and biochemical features in 101 people with LADA and in 20 NGT obese subjects, all testing positive for IA-2(256-760) Abs. IA-2 intracellular immunoreactivity showed a frequency of 40.6% in LADA while it was not detected among NGT obese (p<0.001). Amongst LADA, the presence of immunoreactivity against the IA-2 intracellular domains was associated with lower BMI, waist circumference, higher HDL cholesterol and lower triglycerides, lower prevalence of hypertension and higher prevalence of other autoimmune disorders. Immunoreactivity against IA-2 does not involve intracellular domains in the majority of LADA and in obese people with NGT. This study shows that there is heterogeneity in the IA-2 epitopes, associated with different clinical features.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:1061671. [PMID: 36589801 PMCID: PMC9794760 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.1061671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION One of the most important complications of obesity is insulin resistance, which leads to carbohydrate metabolism disorders such as type 2 diabetes. However, obesity is also associated with development of an autoimmune response against various organs, including pancreatic beta cells. The prevalence of such autoimmune processes in children and their possible contribution to the increased incidence of type 1 diabetes is currently unclear. Therefore, the present study assessed the prevalence of autoantibodies against pancreatic islet beta cell's antigens in children and adolescents with simple obesity. MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective observational study included pediatric patients (up to 18 years of age) with simple obesity hospitalized between 2011 and 2016 at the Department of Pediatrics, Diabetology, Endocrinology and Nephrology of the Medical University of Lodz. Children with acute or chronic conditions that might additionally affect insulin resistance or glucose metabolism were excluded. Collected clinical data included sex, age, sexual maturity ratings (Tanner`s scale), body height and weight, waist and hip circumference, amount of body fat and lean body mass. Each participant underwent a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test with simultaneous measurements of glycaemia and insulinemia at 0`, 60` and 120`. In addition, glycated hemoglobin HbA1c, fasting and stimulated c-peptide, total cholesterol, as well as high- and low-density cholesterol and triglycerides were measured. Insulin resistance was assessed by calculating HOMA-IR index. The following autoantibodies against pancreatic islet beta cells were determined in each child: ICA - antibodies against cytoplasmic antigens of pancreatic islets, GAD - antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase, ZnT8 - antibodies against zinc transporter, IA2 - antibodies against tyrosine phosphatase, IAA - antibodies against insulin. RESULTS The study group included 161 children (57.4% boys, mean age 13.1 ± 2.9 years) with simple obesity (mean BMI z-score +2.2 ± 1.6). Among them, 28 (17.4%) were diagnosed with impaired glucose metabolism during OGTT [23 (82.2%) - isolated impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), 3 (10.7%) - isolated impaired fasting glucose (IFG), 2 (7.1%) - IFG and IGT]. Of the children tested, 28 (17.4%) were tested positive for at least one islet-specific autoantibody [with similar percentages in boys (15, 17.4%) and girls (13, 17.3%), p=0.9855], with ICA being the most common (positive in 18, 11.2%), followed by IAA (7, 4.3%), ZnT8 (5, 3.1%), GADA (3, 1.9%) and IA2 (1, 0.6%). There was no association between the presence of the tested antibodies and age, sex, stage of puberty, parameters assessing the degree of obesity, HbA1c, lipid levels and basal metabolic rate. However, autoantibody-positive subjects were more likely to present IFG or IGT in OGTT compared to those who tested completely negative (9, 32.1% vs 19, 14.3%, p=0.0280). Their HOMA-IR was also significantly higher (HOMA-IR: 4.3 ± 1.9 vs 3.4 ± 1.9, p=0.0203) and this difference remained statistically significant after adjusting for sex and age (p=0.0340). CONCLUSIONS Children and adolescents with simple obesity presented a higher prevalence of markers of autoimmune response against pancreatic beta cells than the general population. Most often, they had only one type of antibody - ICA. The presence of autoimmune response indicators against pancreatic islet antigens is more common in obese patients with impaired carbohydrate metabolism and is associated with lower insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
Transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2), a member of the T cell factor/lymphoid enhancer factor family, generally forms a complex with β-catenin to regulate the downstream target genes as an effector of the canonical Wnt signalling pathway. TCF7L2 plays a vital role in various biological processes and functions in many organs and tissues, including the liver, islet and adipose tissues. Further, TCF7L2 down-regulates hepatic gluconeogenesis and promotes lipid accumulation. In islets, TCF7L2 not only affects the insulin secretion of the β-cells but also has an impact on other cells. In addition, TCF7L2 influences adipogenesis in adipose tissues. Thus, an out-of-control TCF7L2 expression can result in metabolic disorders. The TCF7L2 gene is composed of 17 exons, generating 13 different transcripts, and has many single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The discovery that these SNPs have an impact on the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has attracted thorough investigations in the study of TCF7L2. Apart from T2D, TCF7L2 SNPs are also associated with type 1, posttransplant and other types of diabetes. Furthermore, TCF7L2 variants affect the progression of other disorders, such as obesity, cancers, metabolic syndrome and heart diseases. Finally, the interaction between TCF7L2 variants and diet also needs to be investigated.

Abstract
The presence of islet autoantibodies and islet reactive T cells (T+) in adults with established type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been shown to identify those patients with more severe β-cell dysfunction. However, at what stage in the progression toward clinical T2D does islet autoimmunity emerge as an important component influencing β-cell dysfunction? In this ancillary study to the Restoring Insulin SEcretion (RISE) Study, we investigated the prevalence of and association with β-cell dysfunction of T+ and autoantibodies to the 65 kDa glutamic acid decarboxylase antigen (GADA) in obese pre-diabetes adults with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and recently diagnosed treatment naïve (Ndx) T2D. We further investigated the effect of 12 months of RISE interventions (metformin or liraglutide plus metformin, or with 3 months of insulin glargine followed by 9 months of metformin or placebo) on islet autoimmune reactivity. We observed GADA(+) in 1.6% of NdxT2D and 4.6% of IGT at baseline, and in 1.6% of NdxT2D and 5.3% of IGT at 12 months, but no significant associations between GADA(+) and β-cell function. T(+) was observed in 50% of NdxT2D and 60.4% of IGT at baseline, and in 68.4% of NdxT2D and 83.9% of IGT at 12 months. T(+) NdxT2D were observed to have significantly higher fasting glucose (p = 0.004), and 2 h glucose (p = 0.0032), but significantly lower steady state C-peptide (sscpep, p = 0.007) compared to T(-) NdxT2D. T(+) IGT participants demonstrated lower but not significant (p = 0.025) acute (first phase) C-peptide response to glucose (ACPRg) compared to T(-) IGT. With metformin treatment, T(+) participants were observed to have a significantly lower Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c, p = 0.002) and fasting C-peptide (p = 0.002) compared to T(-), whereas T(+) treated with liraglutide + metformin had significantly lower sscpep (p = 0.010) compared to T(-) participants. In the placebo group, T(+) participants demonstrated significantly lower ACPRg (p = 0.001) compared to T(-) participants. In summary, T(+) were found in a large percentage of obese pre-diabetes adults with IGT and in recently diagnosed T2D. Moreover, T(+) were significantly correlated with treatment effects and β-cell dysfunction. Our results demonstrate that T(+) are an important component in T2D.

Abstract
Published estimates of the incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children in the last decade varies between 2% and 4% per annum. If this trend continued, the disease incidence would double in the next 20 years. The risk of developing T1D is determined by a complex interaction between multiple genes (mainly human leukocyte antigens) and environmental factors. Notwithstanding that genetic susceptibility represents a relevant element in T1D risk, genetics alone cannot explain the increase in incidence. Various environmental factors have been suggested as potential triggers for T1D, including several viruses and the hygiene hypothesis; however, none of these seems to explain the large increase in T1D incidence observed over the last decades. Several studies have demonstrated that the prevalence of childhood/adolescence overweight and obesity has risen during the past 30 years in T1D. Currently, at diagnosis, the majority of patients with T1D have normal or elevated body weight and ~50% of patients with longstanding T1D are either overweight or obese. The growing prevalence of obesity in childhood and adolescence offers a plausible explanation for the increase in T1D incidence observed in recent decades. Possible mechanisms of the enhancement of β-cell autoimmunity by obesity include: a) insulin resistance-induced β-cell secretory demand triggering autoimmunity through cytokine release, neo-epitope antigen formation and increase in β-cell apoptosis, and b) obesity-induced low-grade inflammation with pro-inflammatory cytokines secreted by locally infiltrating macrophages, which contribute to the presentation by islet cells of autoantigens generally not accessible to T cells. Further studies are needed to clarify whether the control of body weight can prevent or delay the current and continuing rise in T1D incidence.

Abstract
Islet autoantibodies are typically associated with type 1 diabetes, but have been found in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in whom they are associated with lower adiposity. The significance of autoantibody positivity in overweight and obese patients is not well understood. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and clinical significance of islet autoantibodies in overweight/obese adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This study includes 204 participants at one site of the multicenter Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00017953) which randomized overweight/obese adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes to an intensive lifestyle intervention or diabetes support and education. We measured antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase, insulinoma antigen-2, and zinc transporter 8. Participants with and without autoantibodies were compared with respect to baseline clinical features, and longitudinal changes in weight, hemoglobin A1c, and antihyperglycemic medications. We found that 13 participants (6.4%) were autoantibody positive, including six of 47 participants (12.8%) with BMI ≥40 kg/m2. At baseline, autoantibody positive participants had higher HDL cholesterol (1.27 vs. 1.09 mmol/L, p = .034) and lower fasting C-peptide (0.32 vs. 0.57 nmol/L, p = .049). Over four years, autoantibody positive participants lost 5.1 kg more weight than autoantibody negative participants (p = .056). Longitudinal changes in hemoglobin A1c did not differ by autoantibody status, though autoantibody positive participants were more likely to increase the number of antihyperglycemic medications or initiate insulin (p = .011). In conclusion, islet autoantibodies were present in 6.4% of overweight/obese adults with type 2 diabetes including those with severe obesity, and were associated with distinct clinical features. The effect of autoantibody positivity on weight loss interventions requires further study.
