Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex disease driven by the immune system attacking the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Understanding the role of different T cell subpopulations in the development and progression of T1D is crucial. By employing flow cytometry to compare the characteristics of T cells, we can pinpoint potential indicators of treatment response or therapeutic inefficacy. Our study reveals elevated prolactin (PRL) levels in T1D patients, along with a decreased production of key cytokines. Additionally, PD1 appears to play a significant role in T1D. Notably, PRL levels correlate with an earlier disease onset and a specific T cell phenotype, hinting at the potential influence of PRL. These findings highlight the need for further research to identify promising cellular targets for more effective and tailored therapies.
1型糖尿病(T1D)是一种复杂的疾病,由免疫系统攻击胰腺中产生胰岛素的β细胞所致。了解不同T细胞亚群在T1D发生和发展中的作用至关重要。通过使用流式细胞术比较T细胞的特征,我们可以确定治疗反应或治疗无效的潜在指标。我们的研究揭示了T1D患者催乳素(PRL)水平升高,同时关键细胞因子的产生减少。此外,PD1似乎在T1D中起重要作用。值得注意的是,PRL水平与疾病较早发作和特定T细胞表型相关,这暗示了PRL的潜在影响。这些发现凸显了进一步研究的必要性,以确定有前景的细胞靶点,用于更有效和个性化的治疗。
