Expression of CD4+CD28nullT lymphocytes in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus: Relation to microvascular complications, aortic elastic properties, and carotid intima media thickness

Abstract: Changes in aortic elastic properties and increased CIMT among young patients with T1DM may enable the recognition of preclinical cardiac impairment. The correlation between CD4 CD28 T-cells and assessed parameters of vascular structure highlights the role of altered immune response in the occurrence of diabetic vascular complications.

“…In the present study, the main alterations in T cells due to DM implicated CD28null cells, affecting both CD4+ and CD8+ compartments. These results agree with previous studies that described increased CD4+CD28null cells even in a pediatric population, correlating with the development of microalbuminuria the presence of neurologic complications [8], microvascular changes, and the progression of atherosclerotic disease [33].…”

“…Hyperglycaemia effects on microvascular and macrovascular complications are well documented in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) ( 9 , 10 ). Several studies demonstrated that T1D patients have higher common carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) as compared with healthy volunteers since childhood ( 11 , 12 ). In children with T1D, especially peripheral systolic blood pressure (pSBP) and body mass index (BMI) were related to the cIMT increase over time, underlining the importance of lifestyle and cardiovascular risk factors control ( 13 ).…”

“…Some studies focused on hyperglycemia’s role as a major determinant for DSPN in T1DM [ 32 ], by demonstrating that prolonged hyperglycemia may lead to nerve damage by raising reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentration and oxidative stress [ 33 , 34 ], and enhancing the production of advanced glycation end products [ 35 , 36 ]. Other studies focused on the role of chronic inflammation leading to DSPN [ 37 ], some of them underlining the importance of activation of the TNF-alpha system [ 24 , 38 ] and the enhanced expression of pro-inflammatory cells, possibly influenced by persistent poor glycemic control [ 39 ]. Endothelial dysfunction, caused by chronic inflammation, has also been identified as a cornerstone in the development of diabetic complications, including DSPN [ 18 , 40 , 41 ].…”
