To identify important anti-islet T-cells and their target antigen(s), we have isolated and characterized seventeen human T-cell clones which are reactive to an extract of rat insulinoma (RIN) cells from three children with new onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). Of these 17 clones, 15 were found tissue specific. Six of eight tested tissue specific clones did not recognize known islet antigens such as GAD, 52 kDa islet protein, insulin, ICA512, and heat shock protein 60 (hsp60), suggesting that these clones recognize an autoantigen not previously identified. All tested clones were phenotypically CD4 and functionally Th0 or Th0/Th1 cells. One RIN extract reactive clone (2E9) recognized hsp60 and was CD4 and TCR α/β positive. This clone also proliferated in response to human and rat islets suggesting that the antigen is conserved between species. This clone and 75% of all the tested RIN reactive clones exhibited anti-islet cytotoxicity by lysing target cells coated with RIN extract. HLA DR determinants may play a role in this cytotoxic activity since preincubation with HLA DR antibody decreased the anti-islet cytoxicity of the two tested clones. In conclusion, we have isolated RIN reactive CD4+T-cell clones from diabetic subjects, six of which appears tissue specific and non-reactive to putative important islet antigens, and in turn may be recognizing yet undiscovered islet antigens. The high frequency anti-islet cytotoxic properties of the islet reactive clones provides evidence for a role of CD4+ cytotoxic T-lymphocytes in the diabetic process. Further, the isolation of hsp60 reactive clone with anti-islet cytotoxic properties suggests that cell mediated immunity against hsp60 may be important in the pathogenesis of diabetes.
