The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene located within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region on chromosome 6 plays an important role in type 1 diabetes. The HLA region encodes molecules that present antigens to T cells and is strongly associated with autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, T lymphocytes destroy the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to insulin deficiency. CD4+ T cells are activated by antigens presented by dendritic cells and macrophages, then activate CD8+ cytotoxic T cells which destroy the beta cells and cause the disease.

gene therapy of diabetes mellitus
This document summarizes gene therapy approaches for diabetes mellitus. It discusses:
1) Types 1 and 2 diabetes, their causes, and genes susceptible to type 1 diabetes such as HLA-DQB1, INS, and CTLA4.
2) Genes susceptible to type 2 diabetes such as PPARγ and ABCC8.
3) Potential gene therapy intervention strategies for diabetes, including genes that could promote islet allograft/xenograft survival like anti-apoptotic and immunoregulatory genes. Gene therapy for type 2 diabetes focuses on obesity-related complications and satiety.
pathophysiology of DM1
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. It accounts for approximately 10% of diabetes cases. The incidence of type 1 diabetes is increasing worldwide. Genetic factors confer susceptibility, but environmental triggers such as certain viral infections are also implicated in disease pathogenesis. The destruction of beta cells is mediated by an immune response involving T cells and autoantibodies. Over time this leads to absolute insulin deficiency. Type 1 diabetes is typically treated with lifelong insulin therapy.
Diabetes Mellitus | Classification , Etiology , Pathogenesis , Complications
This document summarizes the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. It describes diabetes mellitus as a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia and insulin deficiency or resistance. The document classifies diabetes into two main types: type 1 diabetes, which results from autoimmune destruction of beta cells and insulin deficiency; and type 2 diabetes, which results from insulin resistance in tissues and a relative lack of insulin. It then provides more detail on the genetic and environmental factors involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes and the role of obesity, inflammation, and insulin resistance in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes pathogenesis
Type 2 diabetes pathogenesis involves multiple complex pathophysiological abnormalities that result in hyperglycemia. Key factors include insulin resistance caused by genetic and environmental factors like obesity, and beta cell dysfunction caused by glucotoxicity, lipotoxicity, and other stresses that impair insulin secretion and lead to loss of beta cell function and mass over time. Genetic factors also contribute significantly, as seen in familial risk and heritability studies, though identifying specific genes has been challenging due to the polygenic nature of type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes etiopathogenesis
This document summarizes the etiopathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. It discusses the pathogenesis of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. For type 1 diabetes, the main mechanism is destruction of beta cells leading to insulin deficiency. This is explained by genetic susceptibility, autoimmune factors, and environmental triggers. For type 2 diabetes, factors include genetic susceptibility increased by obesity, insulin resistance causing impaired glucose utilization and increased hepatic glucose production, and eventually impaired insulin secretion as beta cells fail to compensate for insulin resistance.

Diabetes mellitus pathophysiology
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic condition characterized by hyperglycemia due to ineffective insulin function or insulin resistance. It is classified into four main types: type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes, and other specific types. The pathophysiology of type 1 diabetes involves autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, while type 2 diabetes results from both impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance. Both types can lead to serious complications affecting multiple organ systems if not properly treated through methods such as insulin therapy, oral hypoglycemic drugs, lifestyle changes, and managing comorbidities and risk factors.
Dm
Diabetes mellitus (DM) refers to a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia. The two main types are type 1 DM resulting from autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells leading to insulin deficiency, and type 2 DM involving insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion. DM prevalence has increased dramatically worldwide due to rising obesity and sedentary lifestyles. Precise classification, diagnosis, screening, pathogenesis, genetics, and treatment considerations vary depending on the specific type and cause of a patient's DM.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus - Etiology
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is a form of diabetes mellitus that results from the autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Genetic factors are believed to be a major com- ponent for the development of type 1diabetes, but the con- cordance rate for the development of diabetes in identical twins is only about 40%, suggesting that non-genetic factors play an important role in the expression of the disease. Viruses are one environmental factor that is implicated in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

This document discusses various potential biomarkers for predicting and monitoring prediabetes and diabetes. It notes that glucose and HbA1c are commonly used but have limitations. Several other biomarkers are proposed that may provide earlier or more accurate detection of prediabetes when beta cell function is still intact, including various proteins, lipids, amino acids, iron levels and microRNAs. Combining biomarkers could improve sensitivity and specificity over any single marker. Further research is still needed to validate clinical utility.
Diabetes mellitus and its pathophisiology
This document provides information about diabetes mellitus (DM), including the two main types: Type 1 and Type 2 DM. It describes DM as a chronic disorder resulting from insulin deficiency or abnormal insulin use, causing high blood glucose levels. Type 1 DM is characterized by an autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Type 2 DM involves both impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance, initially leading to hyperinsulinemia and eventually impaired glucose tolerance as insulin production decreases. Both types result in metabolic imbalances, though the pathophysiology differs in the underlying cause of insulin deficiency or resistance.

Type 2 Diabetes and Genes
Genes play a significant role in determining risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Having one or both parents with the condition increases risk by 15-75%, while identical twins show a 90% concordance rate. Several genes have been identified that may contribute to diabetes through effects on insulin secretion, action, fat metabolism and storage. However, environmental factors like diet and lifestyle are also important, as adoption of a Western lifestyle can increase risk even in populations that were previously low-risk. Both genes and environment interact to promote conditions like insulin resistance through their combined effects on cells and metabolism.
Molecular basis of diabetes
This document discusses the molecular basis of diabetes. It begins by outlining worldwide trends showing increasing prevalence of diabetes. It then describes the main types of diabetes - type 1 resulting from autoimmune destruction of beta cells and type 2 from insulin resistance and relative beta cell dysfunction. Genetic and environmental factors contribute to both types. Later sections discuss specific genes involved like those coding for insulin, insulin receptor, and genes associated with maturity onset diabetes of young (MODY). The document outlines in detail the molecular mechanisms and genetic factors involved in various forms of diabetes.

Case Study On Type 2 diabetes and diabetes related complications
Insulin resistance increases the risk of developing prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes occurs when blood glucose or A1C levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes, and it often develops in people with insulin resistance. Although insulin resistance alone does not cause type 2 diabetes, it can lead to the disease by overworking the insulin-producing beta cells. In prediabetes, the beta cells can no longer produce enough insulin to overcome insulin resistance, causing blood glucose levels to rise above the normal range. Once a person has prediabetes, the ongoing loss of beta cell function usually leads to type 2 diabetes.

It outlines his medical history, including a family history of diabetes, and analyzes factors affecting his nutrition and eating patterns such as his beliefs about food, personal preferences for oily and sweet foods, sedentary lifestyle, and lack of religious dietary restrictions.
What is diabetes type 1 (2)
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This means the pancreas can no longer produce insulin and people with type 1 diabetes must inject insulin daily to control their blood sugar levels. While the cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown, scientists believe genetics and environmental triggers may play a role. There is currently no cure for type 1 diabetes. Eating a healthy breakfast helps control blood sugar levels and decreases the risk of health issues like type 2 diabetes.

The patient's physician plans to adjust her insulin and add another antihypertensive medication to improve her diabetes and hypertension management.
Case Study On Acid Base Metabolic Acidosis
This document discusses a case of metabolic acidosis. Metabolic acidosis occurs when the body produces too much acid or loses too much bicarbonate. The bicarbonate buffer system helps regulate pH by reversibly binding hydrogen ions. When this system is overwhelmed, the body can compensate by hyperventilating to expel excess carbon dioxide, driving the bicarbonate buffer reaction rightward to reduce hydrogen ions and raise pH. The kidneys also help compensate by reabsorbing bicarbonate and secreting more hydrogen ions. Metabolic acidosis causes potassium to shift intracellularly, lowering extracellular potassium levels, which must be tightly regulated for cell function.

Sarah received the HPV vaccine Gardasil at age 15 through her school's immunization program to reduce her risk of cervical cancer later in life. The HPV vaccine works by using virus-like particles (VLPs) that are similar in structure to actual HPV viruses but are non-infectious and non-cancer causing. When exposed to these VLPs, the immune system mounts a strong antibody response against the types of HPV targeted by the vaccine. If Sarah were exposed to one of these HPV types later, her immune system would launch a rapid response from memory cells, preventing infection and damage to her cervical tissue.
Home visiting & urine testing
This document discusses home visiting and urine testing procedures. It provides guidance on conducting home visits, including collecting facts about the home and patient environment, examining and analyzing the situation, planning with the individual and family, taking action, and following up. The purposes of home visits are also outlined. Instructions are given for urine analysis tests to detect sugar, albumin, and microorganisms. The procedure involves collecting a urine sample, using Benedict's solution and acetic acid to test for sugar and albumin, observing any color changes, and properly disposing of and cleaning materials after testing.

Case Study On Paediatric
PSG is an immune complex-mediated disease caused by antibodies produced against streptococcal antigens like streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin B and nephritis-associated streptococcal plasmin receptor. These antigens activate the complement cascade and induce antibody responses, causing inflammation of the glomeruli. High blood pressure can result from PSG due to decreased kidney function impairing sodium handling. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and sympathetic nervous system activate to reduce renal blood flow and increase sodium absorption in response to the reduced kidney function and blood pressure changes caused by PSG.
Case study on meningitis
Sam, a six-year-old boy, was brought to the emergency room by his parents with symptoms of meningitis and tested positive for meningococcal sero group B. His four-week-old sister Emma was also with them. Sam's parents are concerned because he had previously received the meningococcal vaccine but still contracted meningitis. The most likely reasons are that vaccines are not 100% effective and other risk factors like age, medical conditions, community settings, and travel could have still put Sam at risk. Emma is unlikely to contract meningitis since she has not yet been exposed to the bacteria, though vaccines are not fully protective.

Adult case study Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (copd)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is caused by cigarette smoke, which contains high levels of oxidants that cause inflammation in the lungs and airways. Smoking triggers an inflammatory process throughout the lungs. Biopsies of smokers show increased inflammatory cells and chronic inflammation even after smoking cessation.
Crackles heard during lung auscultation in COPD are caused by airway obstruction and blockage from mucus plugs or foreign bodies, resulting in localized wheezing. Crackles are also observed in other lung conditions like pneumonia and pulmonary edema. In COPD patients specifically, crackles are gravity-independent, sparse, and correlated with severe airway obstruction.

It describes the stages of chemical carcinogenesis as initiation and promotion. Physical carcinogens like ultraviolet light and ionizing radiation can damage DNA. Viruses can also cause cancer. Over 95% of oral cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, which have a high worldwide incidence, particularly in India, Australia, and parts of Africa. Oral cancer represents a major health problem in many developing countries.
Diabetes case study(2)
SR is a 29-year-old woman recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes based on her symptoms of dizziness, fatigue, frequent urination, excessive thirst and hunger, and electrolyte disturbances. Her blood glucose levels were very high at 720 mg/dL and her A1C was 8.5%, indicating her insulin levels were too low and she was not producing enough insulin. Her meal plan needs to be modified using carbohydrate counting to better manage her blood sugar levels, with the goal of keeping her A1C below 7% and blood glucose levels within normal ranges. She should monitor her blood glucose levels before and after exercise and meals to determine how activities and food affect her levels.
Case study presentation
This case study describes a 30-year-old male with type 1 diabetes who experiences frequent hypoglycemia due to inconsistent carbohydrate intake from irregular meal timing and snacks high in simple carbohydrates. His current HbA1c is 8.1% and casual blood glucose is 195 mg/dL. The registered dietitian will provide nutrition education and counseling to establish consistent carbohydrate intake at meals and snacks, teach carbohydrate counting, and encourage healthier food choices to improve blood glucose control and reduce hypoglycemic episodes. Treatment goals include decreasing HbA1c to under 7% and casual blood glucose to under 135 mg/dL.

1) The study examines the molecular interaction between an autoreactive T cell receptor (TCR) expressed by a CD8+ T cell clone (1E6) and its target, a human leukocyte antigen HLA-A*0201 complexed with a glucose-sensitive preproinsulin peptide (A2-ALW).
2) Functional tests confirmed the 1E6 clone efficiently kills human islet beta cells in a HLA-A*0201-restricted manner.
3) Biophysical analysis revealed the 1E6 TCR binds the A2-ALW complex with extraordinarily weak affinity, around 278 μM, much lower than typical pathogen-specific TCR-pMHC interactions in the 1-10
Cytokines in diseases
Cytokines are proteins involved in cell signaling and communication that are important in immune responses and inflammation. They are produced by immune cells and modulate processes like immune cell development, activation of lymphocytes and phagocytes, and the inflammatory response. Cytokines play roles in diseases like cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, and tuberculosis by influencing processes such as immune cell recruitment and activation, tissue damage, and granuloma formation. Their levels can provide information about disease activity and progression in some conditions.
2008 SKOWERA JCI
This research article presents three key findings:
1) Using a novel "surrogate β cell" approach, the researchers identified two naturally processed epitopes from the human preproinsulin signal peptide that are presented by HLA-A2 molecules.
2) Circulating CD8+ T cells from approximately 50% of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients recognizing these epitopes were detected, indicating they are targets of the disease-associated immune response.
3) CD8+ T cell clones specific for one of the epitopes were shown to kill human β cells expressing the peptide-HLA complex in vitro, providing direct evidence that autoreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes can destroy insulin-producing cells.
Introduction to immune system
The document discusses the adaptive immune system, specifically T cells and B cells. It describes how T cells mature in the thymus through positive and negative selection. It also explains the functions of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and memory T cells.

Corticosteroids suppress immunity by blocking cytokine synthesis and release. Cytokines play roles in diseases like cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and septic shock by regulating immune and inflammatory processes. They can be measured clinically to monitor certain conditions.
Final type-iv hypersensityvity
This document discusses Type IV hypersensitivity reactions, which are mediated by T cells. It describes how CD4+ T cells can differentiate into Th1 and Th17 effector cells that promote inflammation through cytokine production. It also explains the three pathways through which CD8+ T cells exert their cytotoxic effects: cytotoxin mediated killing, Fas-mediated apoptosis, and cytokine production. Finally, it provides several clinical examples of conditions involving CD4+ and CD8+ T cell-mediated hypersensitivity, such as tuberculosis and autoimmune diseases.
Immunological Abnormalities in Liver Carcinoma
1) Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. While immune therapies show promise, the response of HCC has been unsatisfactory due to its immunosuppressive microenvironment.
2) Dendritic cells activate T cells to target cancer cells, but in HCC various immune cells and cytokines like regulatory T cells and TGF-β promote immune suppression.
3) Future therapies aim to modulate this microenvironment through vaccines, adoptive cell transfer, immune checkpoint blockade, and other approaches to achieve effective anti-tumor immunity against HCC.

These WT1 CD4+ peptides may be useful for inclusion in
Lecture 4 immunobiology
Cell-mediated immunity involves T lymphocytes and macrophages responding to antigens inside cells. It activates cytotoxic T cells to induce apoptosis in infected cells, and activates macrophages and natural killer cells to destroy intracellular pathogens. T cell activation requires two signals - antigen presentation via MHC and co-stimulation from antigen presenting cells like dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells. Once activated, T cells differentiate into effector T cells that eliminate pathogens through cytotoxic killing or cytokine signaling.
Immunology
The document discusses hypersensitivity reactions and the mechanisms of immunologically mediated diseases. It describes the four main types of hypersensitivity reactions: Type I (immediate) involves IgE antibodies and mediators like histamine; Type II (antibody-mediated) involves IgG and IgM antibodies binding to cells and tissues; Type III (immune complex-mediated) involves deposition of antigen-antibody complexes activating complement; Type IV (delayed) is mediated by T cells and involves reactions that develop over 24-48 hours. The document also provides examples of prototype disorders for each type and their characteristic immune mechanisms and pathologic lesions.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus
Diabetes is a group of metabolic disorders caused by defects in insulin production or insulin action, resulting in hyperglycemia. The total number of people with diabetes worldwide is projected to rise from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million by 2030. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Genetic susceptibility, autoimmune factors, and environmental triggers like viral infections contribute to the pathogenesis. Multiple genes influence the risk of developing type 1 diabetes, with the HLA locus conferring the greatest risk. Islet cell autoantibodies against insulin, GAD, and IA-2 are markers for disease progression.

Characterization of Supramolecular Polymers
This document discusses several methods for characterizing supramolecular polymers, which are challenging to characterize due to their dynamic nature. Vapor pressure osmometry uses Raoult's law to relate vapor pressure to molecular weight. Theoretical estimation of molecular weight can be obtained from binding constants using equilibrium models. Size exclusion chromatography separates polymers by hydrodynamic radius. Viscometry uses the Mark-Houwink equation to relate intrinsic viscosity to molecular weight. Mass spectrometry, scanning probe microscopy, electron microscopy, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry also provide characterization of supramolecular polymers.
Translation Initiation in Eukaryotes
Translation initiation in eukaryotes is a highly regulated and rate-limiting process that involves the assembly of numerous transient complexes containing over a dozen eukaryotic initiation factors. This process culminates in the accommodation of a start codon at the appropriate ribosomal site. Structural biology has provided insights into the mammalian mitochondrial translation initiation complex and other key complexes and factors involved in the process, such as eIF3, the eIF2 ternary complex, and the DHX29 helicase. Dysregulation of translation initiation can contribute to diseases like cancer and metabolic disorders.
Mitochondrial Respiratory Complex
The document discusses mitochondrial respiratory complexes and respirasomes. It notes that the complexes assemble into larger structures called respirasomes, which are necessary for stable respiratory function. There are four main complexes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. The complexes work together to establish a proton gradient used by ATP synthase to generate ATP. Dysfunction can lead to diseases. Recent cryo-EM studies have provided structural information on respiratory supercomplexes in various organisms, revealing details of protein interactions and organization principles.

Cellulase (Types, Sources, Mode of Action & Applications)
Cellulase is an enzyme system consisting of endo- and exo-glucanases and cellobiase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of cellulose. There are three major types of cellulases - endoglucanase, exoglucanase, and beta-glucosidase. Cellulase-producing microbes employ one of three mechanisms: free cellulase systems using individual enzymes, cellulosome complexes, or endoglucanases without other domains. The synergistic action of endo- and exoglucanases supplemented by beta-glucosidase completely degrades cellulose to glucose. Cellulases find applications in food, animal feed, textiles, biofu
Amylases (Types, Sources, Mode of Action & Applications)
Amylases are important hydrolase enzymes which have been widely used since many decades. These enzymes randomly cleave internal glycosidic linkages in starch molecules to hydrolyze them and yield dextrins and oligosaccharides. Among amylases α-Amylase is in maximum demand due to its wide range of applications in the industrial front. α-Amylase can be produced by plant or microbial sources. The ubiquitous nature, ease of production and broad spectrum of applications make α-Amylase an industrially important enzyme.

Eukaryotic Gene Regulation: Detailed Review
1. Levels of gene regulation
The observation that differences in the RNA and protein content of different tissues are not paralleled by significant differences in their DNA content indicates that the process whereby DNA produces mRNA must be the level at which gene expression is regulated in eukaryotes. In bacteria this process involves only a single stage, that of transcription, in which RNA copy of the DNA is produced by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Even while this process is still occurring, ribosomes attach to the nascent RNA chain and begin to translate it into protein. Hence cases
of gene regulation in bacteria, such as the switching on of the synthesis of the enzyme β-galactosidase in response to the presence of lactose (its substrate), are mediated by increased transcription of the appropriate gene. Clearly, a similar regulation of gene transcription in different tissues, or in response to substances such as steroid hormones which induce the synthesis of new proteins, represents an attractive method of gene regulation in eukaryotes.
In contrast to the situation in bacteria, however, a number of stages intervene between the initial synthesis of the primary RNA transcript and the eventual production of mRNA (Fig. 1).
The initial transcript is modified at its 5′ end by the addition of a cap structure containing a modified guanosine residue and is subsequently cleaved near its 3′ end, followed by the addition of up to 200 adenosine residues in a process known as polyadenylation. Subsequently, intervening sequences or introns, which interrupt the protein-coding sequence in both the DNA and the primary transcript of many genes. Although this produces a functional mRNA, the spliced molecule must then be transported from the nucleus, where these processes occur, to the cytoplasm where it can be translated into protein.
Telomere, Functions & Role in Aging & Cancer
Telomeres cap the ends of chromosomes and protect them from degradation during cell division. As cells divide, telomeres shorten due to the inability of DNA replication enzymes to fully copy chromosome ends. This limits a cell to around 50-70 divisions before entering senescence. Cancer cells activate telomerase to maintain telomere length, allowing unlimited division. Telomeres play a key role in both aging and cancer - their shortening limits the lifespan of normal cells but cancer cells overcome this via telomerase to achieve immortality and uncontrolled growth. Measuring and targeting telomerase may provide new strategies for cancer detection and treatment.

Chromosome: A Complete Overview
Chromosomes are bundles of tightly coiled DNA located within the nucleus of almost every cell in our body. A chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism. Chromosomes are normally visible under a light microscope only when the cell is undergoing the metaphase of cell division. Before this happens, every chromosome is copied once (S phase), and the copy is joined to the original by a centromere, resulting in an X-shaped structure. The original chromosome and the copy are now called sister chromatids. During metaphase, when a chromosome is in its most condensed state, the X-shape structure is called a metaphase chromosome.

Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Case Study On Diabetes type 1 case study
- 1. Diabetes Type 1 Case Study Discuss the relationship between the human leukocyte antigen gene and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in the development of type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is a multifactorial disease, in which the insulin-producing b cells of the pancreas are killed/ruptured by the immune system; a procedure determined by the action of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) restricted T lymphocytes. Maximum cases of type 1 diabetes (T1D) are outcome from a T lymphocyte-dependent, selective destruction of the insulin- producing pancreatic β-cells and following irreversible insulin deficiency. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region on human chromosome 6p21 contains the major disease locus insulin dependent diabetes mellitus 1 (IDDM1)The HLA region encodes numerous molecules that play important roles in the immune system. Strong relationship between the HLA region and autoimmune disease (AID) has been established for over fifty years. Association of components of the HLA class II encoded HLA- DRB1-DQA1-DQB1 haplotype has been detected with several AIDs, including type 1 diabetes,rheumatoid arthritis and Graves’ disease. Molecules encoded by this region performaimportant role in exogenous antigen appearance to CD4+ Th cells, representing the importance of this pathway in AID initiation and progression. http://www.cell.com/ajhg/abstract/S0002-9297(07)63108-5 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2647156/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1377797/pdf/10053014.pdf http://hmg.oxfordjournals.org/content/10/19/2025.long 2. Explain the role of the T killer or cytotoxic cells in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes outcome of the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic b cells by a b cell– specific autoimmune process. Macrophages, dendritic cells, B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes have role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diabetes. Β Cell autoantigenscome out from β cells by cellular turnover or damage and are processed and presented to T helper cells by antigen-

Naive CD4+ T cells that move in the blood and lymphoid organs spot major histocompatibility complex and β cell peptides presented by dendritic cells and macrophages in the islets. These CD4+ T cells can be triggered by interleukin (IL)-12 released from macrophages and dendritic. β cell antigen-specific CD8+ T cells are stimulated by IL-2 produced by the activated TH1 CD4+ Tcells, distinguish into cytotoxic Tcells and are employed into the pancreatic islets. The activated TH1 CD4+ Tcells and CD8+ cytotoxic Tcells main players in the destruction of β cells. Therefore, activated macrophages, TH1 CD4+ T cells, and b cell-cytotoxic CD8+ T cells perform synergistically to destroy b cells, causing an autoimmune type 1 diabetes. http://www.columbia.edu/itc/hs/medical/pathophys/immunology/readings/IsetCellDestructionRe view.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3740688/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4119381/ Often children who develop type 1 diabetes have unexplained weight loss. Explain the most likely reason for weight loss associated with developing type 1 diabetes. In people who are suffering from diabetics, insufficient and low insulin stops the body from receiving glucose from the blood into the body's cells to utilize it as energy.As a result of it the body starts burning fat and muscle for energy, leading towards a reduction in overall body weight.Unexpected weight loss is common among people earlier to a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Extreme hunger and increased thirst is also observed in this case too. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/type-1-diabetes-in- children/basics/symptoms/con-20029197 http://www.diabetes.co.uk/symptoms/unexplained-weight-loss.html
