Abstract

Aims/hypothesis

In the NOD mouse model, attempts to show MHC class II expression by pancreatic beta cells were unsuccessful so far. We readdressed this question by analysing I-Ag7 expression in single pancreatic beta cells.

Methods

Single-cell multiplex RT PCR and single-cell immunofluorescence were used to study MHC class II expression in NOD and NOD/SCID beta cells.

Results

Pancreatic beta cells from NOD mice express the I-Ag7 protein as well as the corresponding mRNA. The frequency of MHC class II mRNA-expressing beta cells is drastically increased during the progression to overt diabetes. MHC class II protein is accumulated intracellularly, and invariant chain is co-expressed. Beta cells from 9- to 10-week-old NOD/SCID mice express MHC class II at the same low frequency as beta cells from 3-week-old NOD mice.

Conclusion/interpretation

NOD beta cells express I-Ag7 and could be a direct target of autoreactive CD4+ T cells. This MHC class II expression is triggered by infiltrating lymphocytes.
