Résumé
Objectives:
Streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetes is currently the most commonly used animalmodel for islet transplantation.However, STZtreatment and the ensuing hyperglycemia were both shown to affect the immune response, including an apparent induction of lymphopenia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the respective effect of STZ and hyperglycemia on the immune system in STZ induced diabetic C57BL/6 mice.
Methods:
Phenotypes and levels of T and B cells were analyzed by flow cytometry in blood and spleen over time. The effect of hyperglycemia was further characterized by insulin replacement, islet transplantation and by using Rip (rat insulin promoter) DTR (dipheteria tocin receptor) transgenic mice.
Results:
STZ but not hyperglycemia was toxic for splenocytes in vitro, whereas hyperglycemia correlated with diabetes associated blood and spleen lymphopenia in vivo. Moreover, independently of hyperglycemia, STZ lead to a relative increase of T regulatory cells which retained their suppressive capacity in vitro.
Conclusion:
These data suggest thatSTZand the ensuing acute hyperglycemia have major direct and indirect effects on immune homeostasis. Thus, high caution needs to be exercised in the interpretation of the results of tolerance induction and/or immunosuppressive protocols in STZ-induced diabetes and islet transplantation models.
