Tóm tắt

Cytokines and chemokines are important mediators of immune responses due to their ability to recruit and activate leukocytes. Using microarray analysis we observed that rat beta cells exposed to IL-1β and IFN-γ have increased mRNA levels of chemokines and IL-15. The aim of this study was to characterize the expression of IP-10, MIP-3α, fractalkine and IL-15 in rat beta cells, human pancreatic islets, and in islets isolated from NOD mice, both during the pre-diabetic period and following islet transplantation. FACS-purified rat beta cells and human islets were cultured with IL-1β, IFN-γ and/or TNF-α. Islets were isolated from NOD or BALB/c mice at different ages. For syngeneic islet transplantation, 2- or 3-week-old NOD islets were grafted under the kidney capsule of spontaneously diabetic NOD recipients. Chemokine and IL-15 mRNA expression and protein release were evaluated, respectively, by RT-PCR and ELISA. Human islets and rat beta cells express IP-10, MIP-3α, fractalkine and IL-15 mRNAs upon exposure to cytokines. The expression of IL-15, IP-10 and fractalkine is regulated by IFN-γ, while the expression of MIP-3α is IL-1β-dependent. Moreover, cytokines induced IL-15, IP-10, Mig, I-TAC and MIP-3α protein accumulation in culture medium from human islets. In vivo, there was an age-related increase in IL-15, IP-10 and MIP-3α expression in islets isolated from NOD mice. Following syngeneic islet transplantation, increased expression of IL-1β, IFN-γ, fractalkine, IP-10, MCP-1 and MIP-3α mRNAs were observed in the grafts. Cytokine-exposed islets or beta cells express chemokines and IL-15. This could contribute to the recruitment and activation of mononuclear cells and development of insulitis in early Type 1 diabetes and during graft destruction.
