Abstract
The detrimental effect of hyperglycemia and glucose variability (GV) on target organs in diabetes can be implemented through a wide network of regulatory peptides. In this study, we assessed a broad panel of serum cytokines and growth factors in subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and estimated associations between concentrations of these molecules with time in ranges (TIRs) and GV. One hundred and thirty subjects with T1D and twenty-seven individuals with normal glucose tolerance (control) were included. Serum levels of 44 cytokines and growth factors were measured using a multiplex bead array assay. TIRs and GV parameters were derived from continuous glucose monitoring. Subjects with T1D compared to control demonstrated an increase in concentrations of IL-1β, IL-1Ra, IL-2Rα, IL-3, IL-6, IL-7, IL-12 p40, IL-16, IL-17A, LIF, M-CSF, IFN-α2, IFN-γ, MCP-1, MCP-3, and TNF-α. Patients with TIR ≤ 70% had higher levels of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12 p70, IL-16, LIF, M-CSF, MCP-1, MCP-3, RANTES, TNF-α, TNF-β, and b-NGF, and lower levels of IL-1α, IL-4, IL-10, GM-CSF, and MIF than those with TIR > 70%. Serum IL-1β, IL-10, IL-12 p70, MCP-1, MCP-3, RANTES, SCF, and TNF-α correlated with TIR and time above range. IL-1β, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 p70, MCP-1, RANTES, MIF, and SDF-1α were related to at least one amplitude-dependent GV metric. In logistic regression models, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12 p70, GM-CSF, HGF, MCP-3, and TNF-α were associated with TIR ≤ 70%, and MIF and PDGF-BB demonstrated associations with coefficient of variation values ≥ 36%. These results provide further insight into the pathophysiological effects of hyperglycemia and GV in people with diabetes.

Abstract
Rapid, sensitive, simultaneous quantification of multiple biomarkers in point-of-care (POC) settings could improve the diagnosis and management of sepsis, a common, potentially life-threatening condition. Compared to high-end commercial analytical systems, POC systems are often limited by low sensitivity, limited multiplexing capability, or low throughput. Here, we report an ultrasensitive, multiplexed plasmonic sensing technology integrating chemifluorescence signal enhancement with plasmon-enhanced fluorescence detection. Using a portable imaging system, the dual chemical and plasmonic amplification enabled rapid analysis of multiple cytokine biomarkers in 1 h with sub-pg/mL sensitivities. Furthermore, we also developed a plasmonic sensing chip based on nanoparticle-spiked gold nanodimple structures fabricated by wafer-scale batch processes. We used the system to detect six cytokines directly from clinical plasma samples (n = 20) and showed 100% accuracy for sepsis detection. The described technology could be employed in rapid, ultrasensitive, multiplexed plasmonic sensing in POC settings for myriad clinical conditions.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032392. [PMID: 36768715 PMCID: PMC9917181 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cytokines in children with T1D living in Saudi Arabia and their correlation with disease duration and autoimmune antibody markers. METHODS A case-control study was conducted in the endocrine clinic of King Abdullah Specialized Children's Hospital in Riyadh. A total of 274 T1D and healthy control children were enrolled in the study. 5 mL of venous blood samples were collected in the morning after 9 to 12 h of fasting in BD Vacutainer® EDTA tubes and centrifuged at 250g for 15 min at. Plasma was then stored at -20°C for detection of anti-islet, anti-GAD antibodies (Abs), and C-peptide using commercial ELISA kits from Thermo Fisher Scientific. The levels of cytokines were measured using commercial sandwich ELISA kits from Abcam. RESULTS Median differences in cytokine levels (IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IL-18, IL-21, IL-35, and IL-37) were significantly higher in T1D patients compared with healthy controls (p-value < .001). Spearman's Rho correlation indicated that TNFα, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, and IL-21 correlated significantly with T1D Abs (p-value = .01). HbA1C correlated negatively with IL-35 and IL-37, and positively with IL-18 (p-value = .01). Linear regression analysis showed a significant increase in anti-glutamic acid antibodies (GAD) in patients with >3 years of T1D duration. CONCLUSION Autoantibodies remained positive at high levels in our patients over a 3-year duration of the disease and correlated with specific cytokines. The clear correlations with disease duration and profile of specific cytokines could be targets for future therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between enterovirus infection and type 1 diabetes (T1D) is controversial, and this meta-analysis aimed to explore the correlation. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Database were searched from inception to April 2020. Studies were included if they could provide sufficient information to calculate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. All analyses were performed using STATA 15.1. RESULTS Thirty-eight studies, encompassing 5921 subjects (2841 T1D patients and 3080 controls), were included. The pooled analysis showed that enterovirus infection was associated with T1D (P < 0.001). Enterovirus infection was correlated with T1D in the European (P < 0.001), African (P = 0.002), Asian (P = 0.001), Australian (P = 0.011), and Latin American (P = 0.002) populations, but no conclusion could be reached for North America. The association between enterovirus infection and T1D was detected in blood and tissue samples (both P < 0.001); no association was found in stool samples. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that enterovirus infection is associated with T1D.

Abstract
Multiple environmental triggers have been proposed to explain the increased incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D). These include viral infections, microbiome disturbances, metabolic disorders, and vitamin D deficiency. Here, we used ELISA to examine blood plasma from juvenile T1D subjects and age-matched controls for the abundance of several circulating factors relevant to these hypotheses. We screened plasma for sCD14, mannose binding lectin (MBL), lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), c-reactive protein (CRP), fatty acid binding protein 2 (FABP2), human growth hormone, leptin, total adiponectin, high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin, total IgG, total IgA, total IgM, endotoxin core antibodies (EndoCAbs), 25(OH) vitamin D, vitamin D binding protein, IL-7, IL-10, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-17A, IL-18, and IL-18BPa. Subjects also were tested for prevalence of antibodies targeting adenovirus, parainfluenza 1/2/3, Coxsackievirus, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus viral capsid antigen (EBV VCA), herpes simplex virus 1, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Finally, all subjects were screened for presence and abundance of autoantibodies targeting islet cell cytoplasmic proteins (ICA), glutamate decarboxylase 2 (GAD65), zinc transporter 8 (ZNT8), insulinoma antigen 2 (IA-2), tissue transglutaminase, and thyroid peroxidase, while β cell function was gauged by measuring c-peptide levels. We observed few differences between control and T1D subjects. Of these, we found elevated sCD14, IL-18BPa, and FABP2, and reduced total IgM. Female T1D subjects were notably elevated in CRP levels compared to control, while males were similar. T1D subjects also had significantly lower prevalence of EBV VCA antibodies compared to control. Lastly, we observed that c-peptide levels were significantly correlated with leptin levels among controls, but this relationship was not significant among T1D subjects. Alternatively, adiponectin levels were significantly correlated with c-peptide levels among T1D subjects, while controls showed no relationship between these two factors. Among T1D subjects, the highest c-peptide levels were associated with the lowest adiponectin levels, an indication of insulin resistance. In total, from our examination we found limited data that strongly support any of the hypotheses investigated. Rather, we observed an indication of unexplained monocyte/macrophage activation in T1D subjects judging from elevated levels of sCD14 and IL-18BPa. These observations were partnered with unique associations between adipokines and c-peptide levels among T1D subjects.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune cells selectively destroy the pancreatic beta (β) cells and results in the deficiency of insulin production. The optimal treatment strategy for T1D should be preventing of β-cell destruction in the pancreas. The purpose of this review is to discuss the immunological therapeutic mechanisms that will help to understand the development and control of β-cell destruction. The review also presents a novel method for development of autoantigen (Ag)-specific regulatory T cells (Tregs) for T1D immunotherapy. RECENT FINDINGS Pancreatic-resident Tregs have the ability to dramatically suppress hyperactive immune cells. Islet cell transplantation is another attractive approach to replace the failed β cells. Due to the limited source of islet cells, research is going on in the use of animal cells and adult stem cells that may be derived from the patient's own body to produce β cells for transplantation. The mechanism behind the pancreatic β-cell destruction is largely unknown. In this review, a novel approach for the generation of tissue-associated Tregs from stem cells is considered. The stem cell-derived tissue-associated Tregs have the ability to home to the damaged pancreas to prevent the destruction. The review also provides new insights on the mechanism on how these suppressive immune cells protect the pancreas from the destruction of autoimmune cells. A novel method to develop functional auto Ag-specific Tregs that are derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), i.e., iPSC-Tregs, is discussed. Adoptive transfer of the iPSC-Tregs can substantially suppress T1D development in a murine model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recently, numerous studies have renewed attention to the hematologic profile in the early identification of diabetic inflammation and complications. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between hematologic indices abnormalities and oxidative stress among children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS This study included 70 children diagnosed with T1DM and 30 healthy control subjects. The children with T1DM were divided into 2 groups according to the duration of diabetes: children with newly diagnosed T1DM and children with established T1DM. RESULTS Erythrocyte count and platelet count were decreased significantly in children with established T1DM, whereas leukocyte count and neutrophil count were increased significantly in children with newly diagnosed T1DM compared with healthy control subjects. Moreover, hemoglobin and hematocrit values revealed a significant depletion in both T1DM groups; however, values of red blood cell distribution width, mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width were significantly elevated in both T1DM groups compared with healthy control subjects. Also, microalbuminuria levels showed a significant increase in children with established T1DM, whereas lipid peroxidation biomarker (malondialdehyde) and nitric oxide levels were elevated markedly in both T1DM groups compared with the healthy group. CONCLUSIONS The data demonstrated that the hematologic profile showed noticeable alterations in children with T1DM, and the inflammation and oxidative stress markers were contributed to the hematologic abnormalities. The results revealed that some hematologic indices can be used in the early detection of children with T1DM at risk for diabetic complications.

Role of complement in diabetes. Mol Immunol 2019; 114:270-277. [PMID: 31400630 DOI: 10.1016/j.molimm.2019.07.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2019] [Revised: 07/29/2019] [Accepted: 07/30/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests a role for the complement system in the pathogenesis of diabetes and the vascular complications that characterise this condition. Complement proteins contribute to the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) by enhancing the underlying organ-specific autoimmune processes. Complement upregulation and activation is also an important feature of insulin resistance and the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Moreover, animal and human studies indicate that complement proteins are involved in the pathogenic mechanisms leading to diabetic microvascular and macrovascular complications. The adverse vascular effects of complement appear to be related to enhancement of the inflammatory process and the predisposition to a thrombotic environment, eventually leading to vascular occlusion. Complement proteins have been considered as therapeutic targets to prevent or treat vascular disease but studies have been mainly conducted in animal models, while human work has been both limited and inconclusive so far. Further studies are needed to understand the potential role of complement proteins as therapeutic targets for reversal of the pathological processes leading to T1D and T2D and for the prevention/treatment of diabetic vascular complications.

Celiac Disease in Children, Particularly with Accompanying Type 1 Diabetes, Is Characterized by Substantial Changes in the Blood Cytokine Balance, Which May Reflect Inflammatory Processes in the Small Intestinal Mucosa. J Immunol Res 2019; 2019:6179243. [PMID: 31214623 PMCID: PMC6535873 DOI: 10.1155/2019/6179243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2018] [Revised: 04/08/2019] [Accepted: 04/24/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Cytokines play a pivotal role in the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis inducing pro- or anti-inflammatory response and mucosal barrier function in celiac disease (CD) and type 1 diabetes (T1D). We aimed to compare the levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in CD patients without and with coexisting T1D, as well as to evaluate its association with the presence of enteroviruses (EV), regulatory T cells (Tregs), and dendritic cells (DCs) in small bowel mucosa. Altogether, 72 patients (median age 10.1 years) who had undergone small bowel biopsy were studied. The study group consisted of 24 patients with CD (median age 6.5 years), 9 patients with CD and concomitant T1D (median age 7.0 years), two patients with T1D (median age 8.5 years), and 37 patients (median age 14.0 years) with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGD) and a normal small bowel mucosa as controls. The levels of 33 cytokines in serum were measured by multiple analysis using the Milliplex® MAP Magnetic Bead assay. The densities of FOXP3+ Tregs, CD11c+ DC, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase+ (IDO+) DC, langerin+ (CD207+) DCs, and EV were evaluated by immunohistochemistry as described in our previous studies. Circulating anti-EV IgA and IgG were evaluated using ELISA. The most important finding of the study is the significant increase of the serum levels of IL-5, IL-8, IL-13, IL-15, IL-17F, IL-22, IL-27, IP-10, MIP-1β, sIL-2Rα, sTNFRII, and TNFα in CD patients compared to controls and its correlation with the degree of small bowel mucosa damage graded according to the Marsh classification. The leptin level was higher in females in all study groups. The levels of IL-2, IL-6, IL-12 (P70), IL-15, IP-10, and IFNγ correlated significantly with the density of FOXP3+ Tregs in lamina propria of the small bowel mucosa, which supports the evidence about the signaling role of these cytokines in the peripheral maintenance of FOXP3+ Tregs. At the same time, a significant negative correlation occurred between the level of IL-4 and density of FOXP3+ Tregs in controls. Another important finding of our study was the correlation of IL-17F, IP-10, sTNFRII, MCP-1, and GM-CSF with the density of EV-positive cells in the lamina propria of the small bowel mucosa. Correlation of MIP-1 (CCL-4) with CD103+ DC and langerin+ DC densities may point to their significance in the recruitment of immune cells into the lamina propria and in driving the inflammatory response in CD patients. Our results suggest the predominance of Th1 and Th17 immune responses over EV VP1 protein in CD and T1D patients. The significant elevation of Th2 cytokines, like IL-5 and IL-13, but not IL-4, in CD patients and its correlation with the degree of small bowel mucosa damage could reflect the role of these cytokines in gut defense and inflammation.

Wang Y, Hou C, Wisler J, Singh K, Wu C, Xie Z, Lu Q, Zhou Z. Elevated histone H3 acetylation is associated with genes involved in T lymphocyte activation and glutamate decarboxylase antibody production in patients with type 1 diabetes. J Diabetes Investig 2019; 10:51-61. [PMID: 29791073 PMCID: PMC6319479 DOI: 10.1111/jdi.12867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2018] [Revised: 05/16/2018] [Accepted: 05/18/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Genetic and epigenetic mechanisms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes, and histone acetylation is an epigenetic modification pattern that activates gene transcription. However, the genome-wide histone H3 acetylation in new-onset type 1 diabetes patients has not been well described. Accordingly, we aimed to unveil the genome-wide promoter acetylation profile in CD4+ T lymphocytes from type 1 diabetes patients, especially for those who are glutamate decarboxylase antibody-positive. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 12 patients with new-onset type 1 diabetes who were glutamate decarboxylase antibody-positive were enrolled, and 12 healthy individuals were recruited as controls. The global histone H3 acetylation level of CD4+ T lymphocytes from peripheral blood was detected by western blot, with chromatin immunoprecipitation linked to microarrays to characterize the promoter acetylation profile. Furthermore, we validated the results of particular genes from chromatin immunoprecipitation linked to microarrays by using chromatin immunoprecipitation quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and analyzed the transcription level by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Elevated global histone H3 acetylation level was observed in type 1 diabetes patients, with 607 differentially acetylated genes identified between type 1 diabetes patients and controls by chromatin immunoprecipitation linked to microarrays. The hyperacetylated genes were enriched in biological processes involved in immune cell activation and inflammatory response. Gene-specific assessments showed that increased transcription of inducible T-cell costimulator was in concordance with the elevated acetylation in its gene promoter, along with positive correlation with glutamate decarboxylase antibody titer in type 1 diabetes patients. CONCLUSIONS The present study generates a genome-wide histone acetylation profile specific to CD4+ T lymphocytes in type 1 diabetes patients who are glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody-positive, which is instrumental in improving our understanding of the epigenetic involvement in autoimmune diabetes.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic state of insulin deficiency which results from destruction of beta cells by the immune system. The long term microvascular and macrovascular complications can be devastating. Since the discovery of insulin almost 100 years ago new medical therapies have improved the long-term survival for people with type 1 diabetes. Each year we come closer to discovering a cure but much work still needs to be done to eliminate this disease.
