英文摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The main objective of this grant is to
induce apoptosis specifically in auto and alloreactive lymphocytes by
activating endogenous caspases. Physical elimination of these lymphocytes in
NOD mouse is expected to abrogate the autoimmune process in prediabetic
animals and to prevent islet allograft rejection in diseased animals, leading
to the prevention and treatment of diabetes.
Type I insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a chronic autoimmune
disorder that affects a large number of people worldwide. Advances in
understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of IDDM pathogenesis and
improvements in medical practice have resulted in effective therapeutic
approaches for the prevention of IDDM. Despite advances in medical therapies,
IDDM remains a major cause of long-term morbidity and mortality. It is the
single most common cause of renal failure requiring transplantation.
Transplantation of whole pancreas or purified islets containing
insulin-producing beta-cells promises an efficient approach to achieving
euglycemia in IDDM patients. However, immune rejection limits long-term graft
survival. Induction of islet-specific tolerance without the requirement for
chronic immunosuppression would, therefore, offer a major advancement.
T cells, directed at unique pancreatic beta-cell antigens, play the most
critical role in islet cell destruction and development of IDDM. In this grant
application, we propose to induce apoptosis in autoreactive and alloreactive
lymphocytes by IL-2R-targeted delivery of caspase-activating molecules to
treat diabetes. Apoptosis is the most potent physiological cell death that
regulates immune homeostasis and tolerance to self-antigens. Dysregulation of
the apoptotic process leads to autoimmunity, including diabetes. Caspases are
the most important molecules that regulate the apoptotic machinery. Caspases
are synthesized as inactive proenzymes in all the cells of the body. The
activation of one caspase molecule is sufficient to commit the cell to death
since it can activate the other caspases (>13 in mammals) by transcatalysis.
Once activated, caspases override all the regulatory processes and commit the
cell to death. Inasmuch as activated autoreactive and alloreactive T cells
express high affinity IL-2R, we hypothesize that these cells can be targeted
for apoptosis using IL-2R chimeric with caspase-activating proteins. Physical
elimination of auto and alloreactive T cells is expected to result in the
prevention of disease in prediabetic and treatment in diabetic animals
transplanted with islet allografts. This approach may have direct clinical
application as chimeric proteins can easily be generated in large quantities
using recombinant DNA technology.
The Specific Aims of this proposal include: 1) constructing recombinant genes
encoding IL-2 chimeric with caspase-activating molecules and assessing
chimeric proteins for specific apoptosis of autoreactive and alloreactive
lymphocytes in vitro; 2) testing chimeric proteins in vivo for the prevention
of diabetes in prediabetic NOD mice; 3) investigating the ability of chimeric
proteins to induce tolerance to autoantigens and alloantigens for the
prevention of islet allograft rejection and recurrence of autoimmunity.
