Memory T Cells in Type 1 Diabetes: the Devil is in the Detail.
Current Diabetes Reports 2017 August
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Therapies that target beta-cell antigen-specific T cells subsets have not been as successful in patients with type 1 diabetes as in mice. This might be explained by complexities in the repertoire of beta-cell antigen-specific T cells and the variety of T cell subsets involved in type 1 diabetes development in human.
RECENT FINDINGS: T cells that infiltrate islets of people with type 1 diabetes (i) react towards known islet cell antigens but also unknown antigens, (ii) differ from one patient to another, and (iii) are also present in the circulation, but not in the islets, of healthy people. Moreover, several circulating memory T cell subsets not recognized as relevant in mouse are significantly associated with clinical outcome. A more detailed understanding of the specificity, phenotype, and function of T cells that are associated with defined clinical outcomes might identify new pathways for therapeutic intervention.
