Abstract

CD30/CD30L is a member of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor/TNF superfamily and has been implicated in immune-regulation. A genetic study has also suggested a possible implication of CD30 in spontaneous autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice. In this study, we investigated the involvement of CD30/CD30L in the development of diabetes in NOD mice. Flow cytometric analysis showed that CD30 and CD30L were highly expressed on CD4+ or CD8+ T cells in the spleen and pancreatic lymph node of younger NOD mice. In addition, islet-specific CD4+ or CD8+ T cell lines expressed CD30 and CD30L. Administration of a neutralizing anti-CD30L monoclonal antibody (mAb) from 2 to 10 week of age completely suppressed the development of spontaneous diabetes in NOD mice. In addition, the treatment with anti-CD30L mAb also inhibited the development of diabetes induced by adoptive transfer of spleen cells from diabetic NOD mice or islet-specific CD4+ or CD8+ T cell lines into NOD-SCID mice. Furthermore, anti-CD30L mAb inhibited T cell proliferation in response to islet antigens. These results suggested that CD30/CD30L interaction plays important roles in both induction and effector phases of autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice.
