Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is considered an autoimmune disease, which can be attenuated by modulation of immune pathway from Th1- to Th2-type through vaccination. WH1fungin surfactin is a Bacillus-produced natural immunomodulator. NOD mice were orally treated with 5mg/kg or 25mg/kg WH1fungin once a week for total 4 weeks. After the final administration, the diabetes incidence and the anti-inflammatory roles of WH1fungin were investigated by immunohistochemistry, FACS and ELISA. The results showed oral WH1fungin obviously resulted in a WH1fungin-unspecific suppression of T1DM. Diabetes incidence was significantly reduced when compared to phosphate buffered saline (PBS) control. Mice in the control group began to be onset of diabetes at week 15, following with an increased mortality from week 16 to 28. At the end of observation, the diabetes incidence reached to 81% at week 30, while only 25% in WH1fungin groups. The splenocytes assay showed oral WH1fungin could suppress T cells proliferation, down-regulate amounts of activated CD8(+) T cells with the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interferon (IFN)-γ, and increase CD4(+)CD25(+)FOXP3(+) regulator T cells (Tregs). The serum assay revealed oral WH1fungin down-regulated TNF-α and IgG2a but increased interleukin (IL)-10 and IgG1 in mice. All of these data showed oral WH1fungin tended to switch the immune response from Th1- to Th2-type. The further surveys revealed that less IFN-γ but more transfer growth factor (TGF)-β were found in the islets of mice with oral WH1fungin when compared to that in the control group. As a result, the normal islet architecture and slight inflammatory cells infiltration was observed with a slight insulitis in the oral WH1fungin groups. These results demonstrate that oral WH1fungin might be a novel therapeutic approach for the prevention of T1DM.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
