Deletion of 12/15-lipoxygenase alters macrophage and islet function in NOD-Alox15(null) mice, leading to protection against type 1 diabetes development.

<h4>Aims</h4>Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by autoimmune depletion of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. We showed previously that deletion of the 12/15-lipoxygenase enzyme (12/15-LO, Alox15 gene) in NOD mice leads to nearly 100 percent protection from T1D. In this study,...

In islets, expression of 12/15-LO in NOD mice peaks at a crucial time during insulitis development. The absence of 12/15-LO results in maintenance of islet health with respect to measurements of islet-specific transcription factors, markers of islet health, proinflammatory cytokines, and beta cell mass.<h4>Conclusions</h4>These results suggest that 12/15-LO affects islet and macrophage function, causing inflammation, and leading to autoimmunity and reduced beta cell mass.Shamina M Green-MitchellSarah A TerseyBanumathi K ColeKaiwen MaNorine S KuhnTina Duong CunninghamNelly A MaybeeSwarup K ChakrabartiMarcia McDuffieDavid A Taylor-FishwickRaghavendra G MirmiraJerry L NadlerMargaret A MorrisPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 8, Iss 2, p e56763 (2013)
