Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a multifactorial disorder characterized by a specific destruction of the insulin‐producing beta cells in the islets of Langerhans. Cells from the immune system infiltrate the islet during the pathogenesis, releasing a mixture of cytokines demonstrated to be specifically toxic to the beta cells within the islets. The goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for this specific beta‐cell toxicity, which will allow the design of novel intervention strategies for T1DM. The proteome approach provides a detailed picture of the beta‐cell proteins changing expression pattern during cytokine‐mediated beta‐cell destruction. Combining the information from this proteome approach with genetic studies makes us believe that it is possible to reach this goal. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
