Akkermansia muciniphila restrains type 1 diabetes onset by eliciting cDC2 and Treg cell differentiation in NOD and STZ-induced experimental models
Aims
Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila), a Gram-negative anaerobic mucus-layer-degrading bacterium found in the intestinal mucosa, exhibits potential as a probiotic, showing promise in mitigating autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases. This study aims to investigate whether A. muciniphila supplementation might confer protection against type 1 diabetes (T1D) and to elucidate the immunological pathways through which it exerts its beneficial effects.
Materials and methods
Non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes (T1D) models were used to evaluate the protective effects of A. muciniphila during T1D course. Body weight, blood glucose levels, and T1D incidence were monitored. Immune responses in the pancreas, pancreatic (PLN) and cecal lymph nodes (CLN) and bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) were evaluated by flow cytometry and ELISA.
Key findings
Viable A. muciniphila supplementation conferred protection against T1D onset in STZ-induced T1D and NOD mouse models. T1D modulation by A. muciniphila in the STZ model was independent of the gut microbiota, and it was associated with increased tolerogenic type-2 dendritic cells (SIRP-α+CD11b+CD103+) and regulatory T (Treg) cells in PLN and pancreas. BMDC differentiated in the presence of A. muciniphila exhibited a tolerogenic profile and induced Treg cell generation in vitro. A. muciniphila-induced protection in T1D outcome was abrogated in FOXP3-DTR mice depleted of Treg cells, indicating that its mechanism of action is dependent on the CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells.
Significance
A. muciniphila supplementation attenuates T1D development in mice by modulating the tolerogenic immune response and is a promising new therapeutic tool for this autoimmune disease.
期刊介绍:
Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed.
The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.
