Using GeoMx DSP Spatial Proteomics to Investigate Immune Infiltration of NOD Mouse Islet and Exocrine Compartments.
Purpose: Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) pathogenesis involves immune cells infiltrating pancreatic Islets of Langerhans, leading to T cell activation, beta cell destruction, and impaired insulin production. However, infiltration has a heterogenic nature that isn't described in detail, as not all islets are infiltrated. The aim of this study was to investigate if the observed heterogeneity is coupled to differences in immune and/or dysfunctional status of islets or exocrine cells, and if specific markers could elucidate mechanistic details of T1D pathogenesis.
Procedures: The GeoMx platform was used to spatially quantify protein levels in pancreatic islets and exocrine tissue in Non-Obese Diabetic (NOD) mice. The protein panel included 17 immune activity markers and nine dysfunction markers. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining and digital image analysis was used to analyze select marker proteins.
Results: Use of the GeoMx platform to investigate T1D was shown to be possible, as Granzyme B protein levels were found to be lower in distal islet areas when compared to proximal areas. Smooth Muscle Actin protein levels were higher in exocrine areas proximal to immune-infiltrated islets, when compared to distally located exocrine areas. Findings from GeoMx were however not observed in IHC-stained sections.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates that investigating T1D is possible with spatial proteomics, as the assays revealed presence of heterogenic islet areas in NOD mice, which may play a role in T1D progression and escape from immune recognition. This study highlights the potential of spatial technologies for elucidating T1D pathogenesis and future treatment strategies.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Imaging and Biology (MIB) invites original contributions (research articles, review articles, commentaries, etc.) on the utilization of molecular imaging (i.e., nuclear imaging, optical imaging, autoradiography and pathology, MRI, MPI, ultrasound imaging, radiomics/genomics etc.) to investigate questions related to biology and health. The objective of MIB is to provide a forum to the discovery of molecular mechanisms of disease through the use of imaging techniques. We aim to investigate the biological nature of disease in patients and establish new molecular imaging diagnostic and therapy procedures.
Some areas that are covered are:
Preclinical and clinical imaging of macromolecular targets (e.g., genes, receptors, enzymes) involved in significant biological processes.
The design, characterization, and study of new molecular imaging probes and contrast agents for the functional interrogation of macromolecular targets.
Development and evaluation of imaging systems including instrumentation, image reconstruction algorithms, image analysis, and display.
Development of molecular assay approaches leading to quantification of the biological information obtained in molecular imaging.
Study of in vivo animal models of disease for the development of new molecular diagnostics and therapeutics.
Extension of in vitro and in vivo discoveries using disease models, into well designed clinical research investigations.
Clinical molecular imaging involving clinical investigations, clinical trials and medical management or cost-effectiveness studies.
