    Notes: Summary Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is a T-cell mediated autoimmune disease with a number of different proteins being implicated as target autoantigens. A 38 kDa protein residing in the insulin secretory granule of insulinoma tissue is recognized by T-cell clones from a newly-diagnosed Type 1 diabetic patient. We have investigated the capacity of normal rat pancreatic beta-cell extracts and various subcellular fractions of transplantable RIN tissue to induce proliferation of T cells from non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice and H-2 identical NON · NOD-H-2g7 control mice. Normal rat islet beta-cell protein fractions induced intense, dose-dependent proliferation of NOD splenic T cells, but only marginal proliferative responses of NON · NOD-H-2g7 splenic T cells. To further localize the target antigens, four different subcellular fractions from RIN tissue were used as a source of antigen; here in particular the cytosolic proteins showed dose-dependent activation capacity with splenic T cells in NOD animals. These activities were absent in control mice. There was no proliferation after incubation with microsome preparations from other rat endocrine tissues. Purified carboxypeptidase H did not have any stimulatory activity on NOD T cells. Fractionation of the RIN cytosolic proteins showed a large number of different fractions eliciting proliferative activity. These results demonstrate that NOD T cells respond to a large number of potential islet beta-cell target antigens and it will be necessary to utilize NOD T-cell clones to identify the number and nature of these antigens.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Background. The long-acting somatostatin analogue octreotide is used as a therapeutic option for patients with diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. Growth factors, such as EGF, bFGF, VEGF, and PDGF, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of these diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of octreotide on the growth-factor-induced proliferation of bovine retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in vitro. Methods. RPE cells were assayed for proliferation as measured by (3H)-thymidine uptake (ccpm). Bovine RPE cells at passage 3–8 were seeded in a 96-well plate and incubated for a 24-h period with a minimum medium followed by a 24-h incubation with the different growth factors at a concentration of 10 ng/ml with and without 5×10−5 M octreotide. In a different assay the cells were incubated with octreotide at 5×10−10– 5×10−4 M. Afterwards the cells were pulsed with 5 μCi/ml (3H)-thymidine for 12 h, and the incorporated radioactivity was measured on glass fiber filters in a beta-counter (mean±SEM ccpm). The Wilcoxon Signed Rank test and the student's t-test were used for statistical analyses. Results. There was a biphasic effect of octreotide on RPE cell proliferation. Exposure of RPE cells to PDGF (20,225±3304 ccpm) and bFGF (3441±539 ccpm) resulted in a significantly higher proliferation compared to control medium (1543±352 ccpm) (p〈0.05). No difference was found for EGF (2385±383 ccpm). For VEGF (776±83 ccpm) a significant reduction in RPE cell proliferation was found (P〈0.05). There was a significant reduction in proliferation of RPE cells with PDGF, bFGF, and EGF in combination with octreotide versus growth factors alone (octreotide in combination with PDGF 308±82 ccpm, with bFGF 229±88 ccpm, with EGF 2362±91 ccpm) (p〈0.005). VEGF in combination with octreotide resulted in a significant inhibition of RPE cell proliferation compared to VEGF alone (p〈0.0005). Conclusion. The data suggest that there is an inhibitory effect of octreotide on RPE cell proliferation of bovine RPE cells and on the increased proliferation of bovine RPE cells induced by PDGF and bFGF. An enhanced inhibitory effect is found for the combination of octreotide and VEGF.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund. Das lang wirksame Somatostatin-Analogon Octreotid wird als Therapie der diabetischen Retinopathie und altersbezogenen Makuladegeneration angewandt. Wachstumsfaktoren, wie EGF, bFGF, VEGF und PDGF spielen in der Pathogenese dieser Erkrankungen eine Rolle. Ziel dieser Studie war es den Effekt von Octreotid auf die Wachstumsfaktor-induzierte Proliferation von bovinen retinalen Pigmentepithelzellen (RPE) in vitro zu untersuchen. Methode. RPE-Zellproliferation wurde durch Einbau von (3H)-Thymidin gemessen. Bovine RPE-Zellen wurden in Kulturschalen angezüchtet, mit einem Minimummedium inkubiert, dann 24 Stunden mit EGF, bFGF, VEGF und PDGF allein sowie zusätzlich mit Octreotid inkubiert. In einer getrennten Versuchsreihe wurde die Wirkung von Octreotid auf die Proliferation von RPE-Zellen untersucht. Die inkorperierte Radioaktivität wurde nach Inkubation mit (3H)-Thymidin in einem Betacounter gemessen. Die Daten wurden mit dem Student T-Test und dem Wilcoxon-Rangsummentest statistisch ausgewertet. Ergebnisse. Octreotid hatte auf die Proliferation von RPE-Zellen einen biphasischen Effekt. Stimulierende Wirkung wurde bei einer Konzentration von 5×10−7 M und die größte hemmende Wirkung bei einer Konzentration von größer als 5×10−5 M festgestellt. Unter Zugabe von PDGF und bFGF proliferierten signifikant mehr Zellen im Vergleich zum Kontrollmedium. Kein signifikanter Unterschied ergab sich für EGF, während die Inkubation mit VEGF zu einer Reduktion der Zellproliferation führte. Die Kombination von PDGF, bFGF und EGF mit Octreotid führte zu einer Proliferationshemmung. Wurde VEGF mit Octreotid kombiniert kam es ebenfalls zu einer signifikanten Erniedrigung der DNA-Syntheserate verglichen mit VEGF alleine. Schlussfolgerung. Octreotid hat einen inhibitorischen Effekt auf die Proliferation von bovinen RPE-Zellen der die stimulierende Wirkung von PDGF und bFGF aufhebt. Die inhibitorische Wirkung von VEGF wird durch Octreotid verstärkt.
