Immunotherapy Development Service for T1DM

Immunotherapy Development Service for T1DM

T1DM is an autoimmune disease in which T cells attack and destroy the insulin-producing β cells in the pancreatic islets. Immunotherapies are treatments that reprogram the immune system so that it no longer attacks and destroys insulin-producing β cells in the pancreas. Ace Therapeutics can provide immunotherapy development service T1DM with more efficient function analysis.

Introduction of T1DM

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic, immune-mediated disease leading to destruction of pancreatic β cells, which produce insulin under normal circumstances. The development of β cell autoantibodies is induced after exposure of a genetically susceptible individual to an environmental factor, a process which triggers immune response. Destruction of β cells leads to a decrease in insulin secretion, development of hyperglycemia, and ultimately T1DM.

Immune Pathogenesis of T1DM

The immune pathogenesis of T1DM begins with a breakdown in self-tolerance that leads to a T-cell mediated destruction of β-cells. Classical characteristics of this autoimmune disease include the presence of autoantibodies (AAbs) specific for β-cells antigens and insulitis.

  • Autoantibodies in T1DM Patients
    There are five commonly AAbs are present in patients with T1DM which include ICA (islet-cell cytoplasmic AAb), GADA (glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) AAb), IA-2A (insulinoma 2 (IA-2)- associated AAb), IAA (insulin AAb), ZNT8A (zinc transporter 8 AAb).

Immunotherapies for T1DM

Immunotherapies for T1DM have focused on restoration of tolerance, T cell or B cell inhibition, regulatory T cell (Treg) induction, suppression of innate immunity and inflammation, immune system reset, and islet transplantation.

Immunotherapies Description
Pro-inflammatory cytokine inhibition strategy Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6, ΤΝF-α are involved in the pathogenesis of T1DM, playing an important role in recruiting immune cells to the inflammation site and interfering with cell transcription and translation pathways via specific inflammatory networks.
Cell immunotherapeutic immunomodulatory approaches directed at B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, regulatory T cells by anti-CD3, anti-CD20, CTLA-4Ig, anti-CD2.
Autoantigen-specific immunotherapeutic Antigen-specific interventions can suppress autoimmune response and avoid the off-target effects seen with systemic immunomodulating therapies.
