Cytokine expression in unstimulated PBMC of children with type 1 diabetes and subjects positive for diabetes-associated autoantibodies.

Abstract:

:The aim of this study was to evaluate possible changes in the circulating levels of interferon (IFN)-gamma, interleukin (IL)-4 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta in association with the autoimmune process leading to type 1 diabetes. Expression levels of mRNAs specific for each cytokine were determined in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by a multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by hybridization reactions with lanthanide-labelled probes and detection by time-resolved fluorometry. Newly diagnosed diabetic children had lower levels of IFN-gamma, IL-4 and TGF-beta 1 signals compared to their age- and sex-matched controls (P < 0.02, P < 0.005 and P < 0.005, respectively) and also the autoantibody-positive subjects had significantly lower levels of IL-4 and TGF-beta 1 in comparison with their matched controls (P = 0.0013 and P = 0.012). No significant differences were observed when comparing matched pairs of diabetic children and autoantibody-positive subjects. Our results suggest a systemic bias towards reduced production of T-helper cell type 2 cytokines (IL-4 and TGF-beta 1) during the autoimmune process, but there was also a reduced level of IFN-gamma expression in the periphery at the onset of clinical diabetes.
