Resveratrol Inhibited ADAM10 Mediated CXCL16-Cleavage and T-Cells Recruitment to Pancreatic β-Cells in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in Mice

Background: CXCL16 attracts T-cells to the site of inflammation after cleaving by A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase (ADAM10). Aim: The current study explored the role of ADAM10/CXCL16/T-cell/NF-κB in the initiation of type 1 diabetes (T1D) with special reference to the potential protecting role of resveratrol (RES). Methods: Four sets of Balb/c mice were created: a diabetes mellitus (DM) group (streptozotocin (STZ) 55 mg/kg, i.p.], a control group administered buffer, a RES group [RES, 50 mg/kg, i.p.), and a DM + RES group (RES (50 mg/kg, i.p.) and STZ (55 mg/kg, i.p.) administered daily for 12 days commencing from the fourth day of STZ injection). Histopathological changes, fasting blood insulin (FBI), glucose (FBG), serum and pancreatic ADAM10, CXCL16, NF-κB, T-cells pancreatic expression, inflammatory, and apoptotic markers were analyzed. Results: FBG, inflammatory and apoptotic markers, serum TNF-α, cellular CXCL16 and ADAM10 protein expression, pancreatic T-cell migration and NF-κB were significantly increased in diabetic mice compared to normal mice. RES significantly improved the biochemical and inflammatory parameters distorted in STZ-treated mice. Conclusions: ADAM10 promotes the cleaved form of CXCL16 driving T-cells into the islets of the pancreatic in T1D. RES successfully prevented the deleterious effect caused by STZ. ADAM10 and CXCL16 may serve as novel therapeutic targets for T1D.
