[0178] Beneficial metabolic effects of enhanced S100A9 in a mouse model of T1D
[0179] The inventors overexpressed S100A9 in insulin-deficient mice. The inventors performed hydrodynamic tail vein injection studies in RIP-DTR mice carrying the rat insulin promoter (RIP) upstream of the diphtheria toxin receptor (DTR) sequence cloned into the X chromosome Hprt locus. After three consecutive intraperitoneal DT administrations, RIP-DTR mice almost completely lost pancreatic β cells. Indeed, in DT-injected RIP-DTR mice subjected to HTVI of pLIVE (DT-pLIVE) or pLIVE-S100A9 (DT-pLIVE-S100A9), nearly all pancreatic β-cells were ablated (data not shown). Consistent with β-cell loss, pancreatic proinsulin mRNA levels were barely measurable, and these defects resulted in barely detectable circulating insulin in DT-pLIVE and DT-pLIVE-S100A9 mice (Fig. 1a, Fig. 1b). To test whether S100A9 was increased in DT-pLIVE-S100A9 mice, we assessed plasma S100A9 levels and found ...

[0184] The presence of the C-terminal FLAG sequence did not interfere with the ability of S100A9 to ameliorate ID symptoms in mice.
[0185] To determine whether the addition of a FLAG tag sequence to S100A9 would affect the ability of S100A9 to ameliorate ID symptoms in mice, we overexpressed the full-length native S100a9 sequence (with or without a C-terminal FLAG tag) under the control of the albumin promoter using HTVI delivery. ) plasmid (pLIVE-n-S100A9 or pLIVE-S100A9-FLAG) or control empty vector (pLIVE). DT-treated RIP-DTR mice subjected to HTVI of pLIVE (DT-pLIVE) or pLIVE-n-S100A9 (DT-pLIVE-n-S100A9) or pLIVE-S100A9-FLAG (DT-pLIVE-S100A9-FLAG) 27 showed a similar degree of hypoinsulinemia ( image 3 a). While DT-pLIVE mice exhibited hyperglycemia and hyperketosis, DT-pLIVE-n-S100A9 mice and DT-pLIVE-S100A9-FLAG mice showed similar improvements in these parameters ( image 3 b to image 3 c). These data suggest that the fusion of S100A9 to the FLAG tag sequence doe...
