In an attempt to define the molecular bases underlying onset of stomatitis sicca (xerostomia) in this C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2 mouse model, we have carried out a study utilizing microarray technology. The present study was designed to define the changing gene expression profiles within the salivary glands of C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2 mice at five time points representing a pre-disease stage (4 weeks), the early pre-clinical stage (8 weeks), the initial influx of leukocytes into the salivary glands (12 weeks), the early clinical phase of autoimmunity (16 weeks), and the early onset of clinical SjSlike disease characterized by secretory dysfunction (20 weeks). The C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2 mouse is a model of primary SjS in which the Idd3 region of chromosome 3 and the Idd5 region of chromosome 1 derived from the NOD mouse were bred into the non-autoimmune C57BL/6 mouse, resulting in a SjS-like disease susceptibility that mimics both the pathophysiological characteristics and reduced secretory responses observed with NOD mice during development and onset of disease. This SjS-susceptible strain was designated C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2, where Aec1 corresponds to Idd3 (of chromosome 3) and Aec2 corresponds to Idd5 (of chromosome 1).

Project description:The C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2 mouse is a model for primary SjM-CM-6grenM-bM-^@M-^Ys syndrome and was constructed by introducing two genetic intervals derived from the NOD mouse that confers SjM-CM-6grenM-bM-^@M-^Ys syndrome (SjS)-like disease in SjS-non-susceptible C57BL/6 mice. To define the chronological interrelationships of biological themes associated with progression from pre- to sub-clinical to overt spontaneous experimental SjS-like disease involving the extracellular milieu (EM) of the salivary glands, we carried out a study utilizing microarray technology in which the parental C57BL/6J mouse was used as the healthy control strain. A bioinformatics-based data analysis methodology designed for comprehensive visualization of global datasets between C57BL/6J and C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2 mice has permitted a definition of the molecular changes that correlate with onset of stomatitis sicca (xerostomia) in the SjS-susceptible mice. The transcriptome data set of C57BL/6J permitted identification of normal physiological activity. The study was designed to define the changing gene expression profiles within the salivary glands of C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2 mice at multiple time points representing a pre-disease stage (4 weeks), the early pre-clinical stage (8 weeks), the initial influx of leukocytes into the salivary glands (12 weeks), and the early clinical phase of autoimmunity (16 weeks) to characterize the influence of the extracellular milieu on early development of disease. Because the C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2 mouse was derived from the C57BL/6J line, C57BL/6J mice were used as the comparative healthy controls. This comparison permitted the identification of disease-associated gene expressions by subtracting out normal physiological processes. This present study represents the C57BL/6J healthy control mice. Series GSE15640 includes the data for the C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2 mice.

Abstract:
A wave of apoptosis (programmed cell death) occurs normally in pancreatic beta-cells of newborn mice. We previously showed that macrophages from non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice become activated more slowly and engulf apoptotic cells at a lower rate than macrophages from control (Balb/c) mice. It has been hypothesized that this low clearance could result in secondary necrosis, escalating inflammation and self-antigen presentation that later triggers autoimmune, Type 1 diabetes (T1D). We here investigate whether this hypothesis could offer a reasonable and parsimonious explanation for onset of T1D in NOD mice. We quantify variants of the Copenhagen model (Freiesleben De Blasio et al. 1999 Diabetes 48, 1677), based on parameters from NOD and Balb/c experimental data. We show that the original Copenhagen model fails to explain observed phenomena within a reasonable range of parameter values, predicting an unrealistic all-or-none disease occurrence for both strains. However, if we take into account that, in general, activated macrophages produce harmful cytokines only when engulfing necrotic (but not apoptotic) cells, then the revised model becomes qualitatively and quantitatively reasonable. Further, we show that known differences between NOD and Balb/c mouse macrophage kinetics are large enough to account for the fact that an apoptotic wave can trigger escalating inflammatory response in NOD, but not Balb/c mice. In Balb/c mice, macrophages clear the apoptotic wave so efficiently, that chronic inflammation is prevented.

Project description:Background: Activation of stress pathways intrinsic to the β cell are thought to both accelerate β cell death and increase β cell immunogenicity in type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, information on the timing and scope of these responses is lacking. Methods: To identify temporal and disease-related changes in islet β cell protein expression, SWATH-MS/MS proteomics analysis was performed on islets collected longitudinally from NOD mice and NOD-SCID mice rendered diabetic through T cell adoptive transfer. Findings: In islets collected from female NOD mice at 10, 12, and 14 weeks of age, we found a time-restricted upregulation of proteins involved in the maintenance of β cell function and stress mitigation, followed by loss of expression of protective proteins that heralded diabetes onset. Pathway analysis identified EIF2 signaling and the unfolded protein response, mTOR signaling, mitochondrial function, and oxidative phosphorylation as commonly modulated pathways in both diabetic NOD mice and NOD-SCID mice rendered acutely diabetic by adoptive transfer, highlighting this core set of pathways in T1D pathogenesis. In immunofluorescence validation studies, β cell expression of protein disulfide isomerase A1 (PDIA1) and 14-3-3b were found to be increased during disease progression in NOD islets, while PDIA1 plasma levels were increased in pre-diabetic NOD mice and in the serum of children with recent-onset T1D compared to age and sex-matched non-diabetic controls. Interpretation: We identified a common and core set of modulated pathways across distinct mouse models of T1D and identified PDIA1 as a potential human biomarker of β cell stress in T1D.
