Altered Monocyte Cyclooxygenase Response to Lipopolysaccharide in Type 1 Diabetes

Abstract: Type 1 diabetes is caused by adaptive immune responses, but innate immunity is important because monocytes infiltrate islets. Activated monocytes express cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, promoting prostaglandin-E 2 (PGE 2 ) secretion, whereas COX-1 expression is constitutive. We aimed to define monocyte COX expression in type 1 diabetes basally and after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Isolated CD14 ؉ monocytes were analyzed for COX mRNA and protein expression from identical twins (discordant for type 1 diabetes)… Show more

“…A number of the inflammatory changes in T1D are detected at the level of monocyte cell. For example, up-regulation of the adhesion molecule CD11b (Mac-1) has been demonstrated [8] in addition to aberrant constitutive and LPS-stimulated expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, a defect that may predispose to a chronic inflammatory response in T1D [30,31]. The vascular endothelium represents a likely target of this inflammatory response detected in patients with T1D.…”

“…Interestingly, elevated circulating levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-8 were found in children with recentonset T1DM (<1year), who were also overweight [9]. Other evidence of monocyte involvement in T1DM includes studies showing aberrant constitutive and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated expression of monocyte cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression in monocytes of T1DM patients, a defect which may predispose to a chronic inflammatory response in T1DM [4,10]. The direct consequences of monocyte activation in T1DM are unknown, but theoretically could involve release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and endothelial activation with increased monocyte adherence to the vascular endothelium, such as that of the pancreatic islets or kidney and retinal capillaries.…”

“…Owing to their chemotactic activity on fibroblasts, myocytes, and inflammatory cells, BMPs were also considered to influence inflammatory processes in adults [8]. Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4), a member of the BMPs family, is primarily expressed in airway epithelial cells and plays a key role in the early stage of lung development [9]. BMP4 was demonstrated being upregulated in ovabumin-induced inflammation in mouse lung [8].…”
