Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Clinical Trial
Evaluate the regulatory T cell function in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, and find the pathogenesis of this autoimmune disease.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized with T cell mediated
destruction of pancreatic βcell. Dysregulated B and T cells were reported in the animal
model. The loss of maintenance of immune homeostasis is thought to be major mechanism and
result in persistence of autoreactive T cell in the periphery. Therapies which modulate the
immune dysfunction may be helpful for the patients of T1D.
Immune homeostasis means a balance between the responses that control infection and tumor
growth and reciprocal responses that prevent inflammation and autoimmune disease. CD4+ CD25+
regulatory T cells (Tregs) are critical to maintain such functions. Their actions can be
through cell-to-cell contact or bystander effect. The specific markers of Tregs include CD25
molecule (IL-2 receptorαchain), Foxp3 (forkhead-winged helix transcription factor). The
Foxp3 is a transcription factor that controls some genes encoding Tregs associated
molecules, such as CD25, CTLA-4 and GITR.
The previous studies of modulation of Tregs in T1D show positive results in animal model.
But the relative sizes of CD4+CD25+ population in human are still controversial. Our
hypothesis is that the imbalance of Tregs and autoreactive T cells is the pathogenesis of
T1D. Therefore, we used flow cytometry to determine the number of CD4+CD25+ Tregs population
and quantitative real-time PCR to assay the expression of Foxp3, CLTA-4, GITR in patients
with different stages and normal control. Besides, autoantibodies to GAD65 is associated
with T1D in 60-80% patients. It is a marker of autoimmune diabetes. We anticipated that the
realization of Tregs functions in patients of T1D will help our further guide of
immunotherapy of patients with T1D and other autoimmune disease.
