Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Treating pre-diabetic NOD mice with cyclic guanyl-adenyl dinucleotide (cGAMP) to activate STING directly delayed T1D onset and stimulated interferon-αβ (IFN-αβ), while treatment with cyclic diguanyl nucleotide (cdiGMP) did not delay T1D onset or induce IFN-αβ in NOD mice. 31557322 2019
Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Moreover, we showed that specific IFN-α expression in the β cells of IFNα-INS1CreERT2 transgenic mice led to development of T1D that was preceded by increased islet DNA hydroxymethylation through a PNPT1/TET2-dependent mechanism. 30721151 2019
Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Second, a significant correlation of antibody-mediated IFNα neutralization with an absence of disease in patients highly disposed to Type I diabetes has been challenged because of a claimed failure to replicate our findings (Landegren, 2019). 31244472 2019
Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE In the libraries, the frequency of islet Ag-specific CD45RO<sup>+</sup>IFN-γ<sup>+</sup>CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells was higher in patients with T1D compared with healthy control subjects. 30082321 2018
Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE These observations suggest that IFN-α-stimulated long-lasting MHC class I expression may amplify beta cell antigen presentation during the early phase of type 1 diabetes and that IFN-α inhibitors might need to be used at very early stages of the disease to be effective. 29305625 2018
Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Despite its beneficial effects in viral infections IFNα has been reported to be associated with several autoimmune diseases including autoimmune thyroid disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, primary biliary cholangitis, and recently emerged as a major cytokine that triggers Type 1 Diabetes. 30115527 2018
Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The profound elevation in IFN-I and the IFN gene signature observed in some forms of T1D are also seen in a novel group of human autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases called interferonopathies. 29369915 2018
Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE The type I interferon IFNα is expressed in human islets from type 1 diabetes patients and mediates HLA class I overexpression. 28062922 2017
Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE An additional clue that links T1-IFN to T1D is that these cytokines are a known constituent of the autoinflammatory milieu within the pancreas of patients with T1D. 28959234 2017
Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Essential components of the innate immune antiviral response, including type I interferon (IFN) and IFN receptor-mediated signaling pathways, are candidates for determining susceptibility to human type 1 diabetes. 27999109 2017
Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE These findings identify transient increased expression of type I IFN genes in preclinical diabetes as a risk factor for autoimmunity in children with a genetic predisposition to T1D. 24561305 2014
Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The identified dysregulation in the IFN-α-induced antiviral response in T1D patients, especially in early childhood, could be one of the factors affecting T1D development. 24965593 2014
Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE IGRP-specific T cells from both healthy and T1D groups produce both gamma-IFN and IL-10. 16493034 2006
Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE In the present report, we have adopted a linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping approach to test for an association between T1D and three regions encompassing 13 interferon alpha (IFNA) genes, interferon omega-1 (IFNW1), interferon beta-1 (IFNB1), interferon gamma (IFNG) and the interferon consensus-sequence binding protein 1 (ICSBP1). 16504056 2006
