摘要
Diabetes susceptibility in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice may involve immune dysregulation resulting from cytokine deficiencies. The cytokine IL-1 plays a role in various immune as well as endocrine responses and may be hypoexpressed in NOD mice. Treatment with low levels of exogenous IL-1 a for 22 weeks prevented the naturally occurring insulitis and diabetogenic process in NOD mice during and at least 33 weeks after cessation of IL-1α treatment. Treatment with IL-1α also inhibited insulitis and hyperglycemia induced by adoptive transfer of pathogenic, polyclonal CD4+8- T cells. Even after islet-cell destruction, IL-1α injections in diabetic NOD mice normalized plasma glucose levels when administered in combination with insulin, whereas equivalent levels of IL-1α alone did not. Our studies support the hypothesis that IL-1α suppresses autoimmune diabetes and hyperglycemia in NOD mice by pleiotropic effects on both immune and metabolic systems. Thus, IL-1 treatment could clinically be an effective immunotherapeutic modality for autoimmune diabetes mellitus by suppressing early disease progression or normalize plasma glucose levels when insulin is present. © 1992 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
