Abstract

Aims/hypothesis

The LEW.1AR1-iddm rat is an animal model of spontaneous type 1 diabetes mellitus. This study analysed how adoptive transfer of selective T cell subpopulations affects the incidence of diabetes.

Methods

CD4+ or CD8+ T cells were isolated from diabetic LEW.1AR1-iddm rats or diabetes-resistant LEW.1AR1 rats. Cells were selectively transferred into athymic LEW.1AR1-Whn rnu or prediabetic LEW.1AR1-iddm rats. The animals were monitored for blood glucose, islet infiltration and immune cell composition of pancreas-draining lymph nodes.

Results

After adoptive transfer of CD4+ T cells from diabetic LEW.1AR1-iddm rats into athymic LEW.1AR1-Whn rnu rats, 50% of the recipients developed diabetes. Transfer of CD8+ T cells failed to induce diabetes. Only 10% of the athymic recipients became diabetic after co-transfer of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Adoptive transfer of CD8+ T cells from LEW.1AR1 or diabetic LEW.1AR1-iddm rats into prediabetic LEW.1AR1-iddm rats significantly reduced the incidence of diabetes. In protected normoglycaemic animals regulatory CD8+/CD25+ and CD4+/CD25+ T cell subpopulations that were also FOXP3-positive accumulated in the pancreas-draining lymph nodes. In this lymphatic organ, gene expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines was significantly higher than in diabetic rats.

Conclusions/interpretation

Our results show that adoptive transfer of CD4+ but not CD8+ T cells from diabetic LEW.1AR1-iddm rats induced diabetes development. Importantly, CD8+ T cells from diabetic LEW.1AR1-iddm rats and diabetes-resistant LEW.1AR1 rats provided protection against beta cell destruction. The accumulation of regulatory T cells in the pancreas-draining lymph nodes from protected rats indicates that transferred CD8+ T cells may have beneficial effects in the control of beta cell autoimmunity.
