Interventional approaches that have been successful in delaying insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) using antigen-based immunotherapies include parenteral immunization.

|
We have previously shown that immunization with insulin and insulin B chain but not A chain in incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) prevented diabetes by reducing IFN-gamma mRNA in the insulitis lesions.

|
When Diphtheria-Tetanus toxoid-Acellular Pertussis (DTP) vaccine was used as the adjuvant vehicle, DTP itself induced significant protection (P < 0.003) which was associated with a Th2-like cytokine producing insulitis profile, IL-4 driven IgG1 antibody responses to insulin, GAD in the periphery and an augmentation of the autoimmune response to GAD.

Peripheral blood T cells, which proliferate to islet antigens such as glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), (pro)insulin or tyrosine phosphatase IA-2, can be detected in at-risk, first degree relatives of people with IDDM.

Peripheral blood T cell responses to a GAD67(aa208-404)-glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion protein, GST, insulin and tetanus toxoid were measured, together with antibodies to islet cells, GAD, insulin and IA-2.

Since autoimmune responses to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) are up-regulated in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), in this study GAD67-specific antibody, T cell proliferation and lymphokine production patterns were analysed in the adjuvant-treated mice to characterize the regulatory mechanisms underlying the protection.

Upon in vitro stimulation with GAD67, draining lymph node and spleen cells from CFA-immunized NOD mice or syngeneic islet-grafted and BCG-protected NOD mice produced much more IL-4, whereas there was no significant change in IFN-gamma production.

Several immunization methods based on administration of autoantigenic polypeptides such as insulin and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) have been used to prevent autoimmune diabetes in the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse.

Nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice spontaneously develop diabetes as a consequence of an autoimmune process that can be inhibited by immunotherapy with the 60-kDa heat shock protein (hsp60), with its mycobacterial counterpart 65-kDa (hsp65), or with other Ags such as insulin and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD).
|
36 |
12421990
|
Vaccination with phsp60 modulated the T cell responses to hsp60 and also to the GAD and insulin autoantigens; T cell proliferative responses were significantly reduced, and the pattern of cytokine secretion to hsp60, GAD, and insulin showed an increase in IL-10 and IL-5 secretion and a decrease in IFN-gamma secretion, compatible with a shift from a Th1-like toward a Th2-like autoimmune response.
|
37 |
12421990
|
Our results extend the role of specific hsp60 immunomodulation in the control of beta cell autoimmunity and demonstrate that immunoregulatory networks activated by specific phsp60 vaccination can spread to other Ags targeted during the progression of diabetes, like insulin and GAD.

To address this, antibody titer and subclass to insulin, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD)65, IA-2, and IA-2beta proteins were measured by radiobinding assays in untreated or immunized female nonobese diabetic mice.
|
45 |
12672406

Untreated nonobese diabetic mice developed autoantibodies to insulin (IAA), but not GAD or IA-2/IA-2beta, and IAA-positive mice had increased diabetes risk (P < 0.001).

Here, we investigated the effects of intramuscular delivery of DNA coding for the pro-apoptotic protein BAX together with an intracellular or a secreted form of the beta cell antigen glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) on diabetes onset and immune responses in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice.
|
58 |
15068859
|
Remarkably, monitoring of spontaneous diabetes onset indicated that only delivery of DNA coding for secreted GAD and BAX resulted in significant prevention of the disease.
|
59 |
15068859
|
Furthermore, data indicated that subcellular localization of GAD had an effect on both the number and function of antigen presenting cells (APCs) recruited by BAX as well as on IFN-gamma secretion, and that diabetes suppression was unlikely to be caused by increased T helper 2 (Th2)-like activity.

We have shown previously that incorporation of a cDNA coding for the pro-apoptotic protein BAX into plasmid DNA coding for a secreted form of the pancreatic beta-cell antigen glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) promotes prevention of type 1 diabetes in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice.
|

|
In addition, immunological analysis revealed that the DNA vaccine induced CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells cultured from draining lymph nodes that had immunosuppressive function in vitro.
|
82 |
16621191
|
Data also revealed that CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells from mice immunized with the DNA vaccine yielded a cell population that was foxp3(+), showed increased expression of CD25 compared to control, and had immunosuppressive function in vitro, indicating that Tregs could have developed from antigen-induced, peripheral T lymphocytes.
|

|
In the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model, CD8+ T cells play an essential role in both the initial triggering of insulitis and its destructive phase, and proinsulin (PI) is one of the dominant target antigens (Ags).
|
84 |
17130554
|
However, little is known about the beta cell epitopes presented by HLA class I molecules and recognized by human CD8+ T cells.
|
85 |
17130554
|
We validated immunogenicity and natural processing of the identified PI epitopes in HLA-A2.1-transgenic mice, while others demonstrated recognition of multiple PI epitopes by CD8+ T cells from T1DM and healthy subjects in the context of different HLA class I molecules.
|
86 |
17130554
|
DNA vaccination of HLA-transgenic mice may be another rapid and efficient reverse immunology approach to map additional epitopes derived from other T1DM Ags, such as IA-2 and glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD 65).
|
87 |
17130554
|
Transfer of this information to Elispot- and MHC tetramer-based assay formats should allow to reliably detect and characterize autoreactive CD8+ T cell responses in T1DM, and may open new avenues for early T1DM diagnosis and immune intervention.

Human histocompatibility leukocyte Ags-A*0201 (HLA-A*0201) transgenic mice were immunized with plasmids encoding the T1D-associated autoantigens: 65 kDa glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) or insulinoma-associated protein 2 (IA-2).

A double-blind randomized Phase II trial in 70 patients (10-18 years old) with recent-onset type 1 diabetes showed significant preservation of residual insulin secretion and a GAD-specific immune response, both humoral and cell-mediated, but no treatment-related adverse events.

This article reviews four recent immunointervention trials in patients with T1DM. (1) The Pre-POINT study is a primary prevention trial that will test whether vaccination with oral or nasal insulin can prevent the progression of islet autoimmunity and of T1DM in autoantibody-negative children who are genetically at high diabetes risk. (2) The Cord Blood study is a tertiary immunointervention trial that will test whether administration of autologous umbilical cord blood to children with T1DM can lead to regeneration of pancreatic islet insulin-producing beta-cells and improved blood glucose control. (3) The GAD Vaccination study will test whether vaccination with alum-formulated rhGAD65 (recombinant human glutamic acid decarboxylate) can preserve beta-cell function in 320 children with newly diagnosed T1DM, as has been suggested in a recent phase II study. (4) The AIDA study will test the beta-cell protective effect of interleukin-1-receptor antagonist Anakinra in 80 patients with T1DM, which has recently been shown to improve beta-cell function in patients with type 2 diabetes.

We reasoned IL-1β blockade could be combined with islet antigen-specific approaches involving GAD of 65 kDa (GAD65)-expressing plasmids, as previously shown in combination therapies (CTs) with anti-CD3.
