Abstract

Type 1 diabetes is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease, and insulin is an important target of the autoimmune response associated with β cell destruction. The mechanism of destruction is still unknown. Here, we provide evidence for CD8 T cell autoreactivity associated with recurrent autoimmunity and loss of β cell function in type 1 diabetic islet transplant recipients. We first identified an insulin B chain peptide (insB10-18) with extraordinary binding affinity to HLA-A2(*0201) that is expressed by the majority of type 1 diabetes patients. We next demonstrated that this peptide is naturally processed by both constitutive and immuno proteasomes and translocated to the endoplasmic reticulum by the peptide transporter TAP1 to allow binding to HLA-A2 in the endoplasmic reticulum and cell surface presentation. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a healthy donor were primed in vitro with this peptide, and CD8 T cells were isolated that specifically recognize target cells expressing the insulin B chain peptide. HLA-A2 insB10-18 tetramer staining revealed a strong association between detection of autoreactive CD8 T cells and recurrent autoimmunity after islet transplantation and graft failure in type 1 diabetic patients. We demonstrate that CD8 T cell autoreactivity is associated with β cell destruction in type 1 diabetes in humans.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
