NK T Cell-Induced Protection Against Diabetes in V{alpha}14-J{alpha}281 Transgenic Nonobese Diabetic Mice Is Associated with a Th2 Shift Circumscribed Regionally to the Islets and Functionally to Islet Autoantigen1

The onset of autoimmune diabetes is related to defective immune regulation. Recent studies have shown that NK T cells are deficient in number and function in both diabetic patients and nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. NK T cells, which are CD1d restricted, express a TCR with an invariant V{alpha}14-J{alpha}281 chain and rapidly produce large amounts of cytokines. V{alpha}14-J{alpha}281 transgenic NOD mice have increased numbers of NK T cells and are protected against diabetes onset. In this study we analyzed where and how NK T cells interfere with the development of the anti-islet autoimmune response. NK T cells, which are usually rare in lymph nodes, are abundant in pancreatic lymph nodes and are also present in islets. IL-4 mRNA levels are increased and IFN-{gamma} mRNA levels decreased in islets from diabetes-free V{alpha}14-J{alpha}281 transgenic NOD mice; the IgG1/IgG2c ratio of autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase is also increased in these mice. Treatment with IL-12 (a pro-Th1 cytokine) or anti-IL-4 Ab abolishes the diabetes protection in V{alpha}14-J{alpha}281 NOD mice. The protection from diabetes conferred by NK T cells is thus associated with a Th2 shift within islets directed against autoantigen such as glutamic acid decarboxylase. Our findings also demonstrate the key role of IL-4.
