Treatment with anti-CD3 antibodies appears promising to preserve residual beta-cell function in recent onset type 1 diabetes although many patients had therapy related adverse events. Insulin is an important islet antigen and autoimmunity to insulin may be central to disease pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes in man and NOD mouse. Evidence is strongest for the NOD mouse model, where blocking immune responses to insulin by amino acid substitution at positions B: 16, prevents diabetes. Insulin can be used to immunologically prevent diabetes of NOD mice, however, insulin-based preventive immunoregulation of diabetes in man is not yet possible. Treatment of NOD mice with insulin B-chain peptide and poly I: C, a Toll-like receptor 3 ligand, induces the pathogenic T cells as well as regulatory T cells and recruits them into the islets. Intranasal treatment with insulin B-chain analogue peptide with amino acid substitutions at positions B: 16 and 19 prevented the progression to diabetes and induced remission from hyperglycemia when co-administered with a mucosal adjuvant cholera toxin. Thus, an antigenic peptide vaccination with an alternative adjuvant or route might induce antigen-specific regulatory cell populations rather than pathogenic T cells. We believe that such an improved antigen specific therapy could provide more efficient and safer disease suppression and remission for human type 1 diabetes.
