HLA-B*39:06 Efficiently Mediates Type 1 Diabetes in a Mouse Model Incorporating Reduced Thymic Insulin Expression

Abstract: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by T cell-mediated destruction of the insulin-producing β cells of the pancreatic islets. Among the loci associated with T1D risk, those most predisposing are found in the MHC region. HLA-B*39:06 is the most predisposing class I MHC allele and is associated with an early age of onset. To establish an NOD mouse model for the study of HLA-B*39:06, we expressed it in the absence of murine class I MHC. HLA-B*39:06 was able to mediate the development of CD8 T cells, support ly… Show more

“…This attempt at an immune rebound is consistent with reports that show an association of B*39 with slower disease progression due to epitopes with fitness costs to the virus ( 48 , 49 ). A possible justification is that the cellular response restricted to the allele tends to be more robust and substantial, resulting in improved effector activity with impacts on clinical aspects ( 50 , 51 ).…”

“…Mouse models have been developed that express T1D susceptibility HLA class I ( 65 , 66 ) or class II genes ( 31 , 67 ). They allow defining epitopes on murine autoantigens that possibly correspond to epitopes recognized on human autoantigen along human T1D ( 37 , 54 ).…”

“…Challenging HLA-DR4/RIP-B7.1 mice with murine proinsulin-2 peptides accelerated T1D development ( 46 ). The level of thymic insulin 2 gene expression determined the timing and the incidence of T1D in an HLA-B*39:06 transgenic mouse, a similar effect of that of the invalidation of the insulin 2 gene in NOD mice ( 47 ) or of the insulin variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR)in humans ( 22 ).…”

“…H2 class-I genes have been invalidated by deleting either the murine β2m or the MHC class-I locus. On the NOD genetic background, mice expressing HLA-A2.1 or HLA-B39 transgenes developed accelerated T1D ( 19 22 ) while the expression of HLA-DQ6 decreased the incidence of spontaneous diabetes and insulitis ( 23 , 24 ). HLA-DQ8 or HLA-DR4 transgenic NOD mice depleted for IAg 7 were resistant to diabetes probably because T cells shift toward a tolerogenic regulatory profile ( 25 ).…”
