Nuclear Transport Modifiers such as cSN50 and cSN50.1, afford in vivo islet protection following a 2-day course of intense treatment in autoimmune diabetes-prone, non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, a widely used model of Type 1 diabetes (T1D), which resulted in a diabetes-free state for one year without apparent toxicity and the need to use insulin. cSN50 precipitously reduces the accumulation of islet-destructive autoreactive lymphocytes while enhancing activation-induced cell death of T and B lymphocytes derived from NOD mice. cSN50 attenuated pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine production in immune cells in this model of human T1D. cSN50 also provides cytoprotection of beta cells, therefore preserving residual insulin-producing capacity. Because intracellular delivery of a Nuclear Transport Modifier peptide such as cSN50 and cSN50.1 can result in lowering of blood glucose levels and may reducing insulin resistance, the compositions, methods and cells described herein can also be used for treating Type 2 diabetes (T2D).

AS-oligonucleotides are delivered in microsphere form in order to induce dendritic cell tolerance, particularly in the non-obese-diabetic (NOD) mouse model. The microspheres incorporate antisense (AS) oligonucleotides. A process includes using an antisense approach to prevent an autoimmune diabetes condition in NOD mice in vivo and in situ. The oligonucleotides are targeted to bind to primary transcripts CD40, CD80, CD86 and their combinations.

Because intracellular delivery of a Nuclear Transport Modifier peptide such as cSN50 and cSN50.1 can result in lowering of fasting blood glucose levels and may ameliorate (e.g., reduce, eliminate) insulin resistance, the compositions, methods and cells described herein can also be used for treating Type 2 diabetes (T2D).

The invention relates to a novel non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse and its application. Particularly, the invention relates to a NOD mouse specifically expressing anti-polyethylene glycol membrane antibody reporter (anti-PEG reporter) in the NOD mouse.

The invention relates to the application of recombinant lactic acid bacteria and SNase in the preparation of drugs for preventing or treating type 1 diabetes. The purpose of the present invention is to provide the new application of the vaccine with recombinant lactic acid bacteria L.lactisNZ9000 pCYT:SNase as carrier in anti-type 1 diabetes. The recombinant bacteria can express the target protein Staphylococcal nuclease, SNase after being induced by lactose. L.lactisNZ9000 pCYT:SNase live bacterial vaccine was immunized to 4-week-old female NOD / LtJ mice by oral administration, and a series of pharmacodynamic indicators were evaluated. It was found that: compared with the control group, L.lactisNZ9000 pCYT:SNase can significantly reduce the incidence of diabetes in NOD mice, better control the blood sugar and body weight of NOD mice, and significantly improve the survival rate of NOD mice. It can be seen that the recombinant Lactococcus lactis L. lactisNZ9000 pCYT:SNase can significantly inhibit the development of diabetes in NOD mice, and can be used for the development of type 1 diabetes drugs.

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for antigenic peptides derived from IgE molecule can be generated in vitro by stimulating resting naive CD8 T cells with IgE peptides presented by artificial antigen presenting cells. The IgE specific CTLs lyse the target cells loaded with IgE peptides in vitro and inhibit antigen specific IgE response in vivo. In addition, adoptive transfer of the IgE specific CTL to an asthmatic mouse model can inhibit the development of lung inflammation and airway hypersensitivity. IgE specific CTL provides a treatment for allergic asthma and other IgE-mediated allergic diseases. Antigenic peptides identified from non-tumor self-antigens induce specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) in vitro. The CTL induced by peptides identified from CD40L can kill activated CD4 T cells. In vitro generated CTL specific for CD40L inhibit CD4-dependent antibody responses of all isotypes in vivo. In contrast, CTL induced by antigenic peptides derived from IgE specifically inhibit IgE responses, and adoptive transfer of CD40L-specific CTL to NOD mice at early age delay the development of diabetes in NOD mice. In vitro generated CTL specific for non-tumor self-antigens expressed on activated CD4 T cells regulate immune responses in vivo.
