The current worldwide pandemic of monkeypox (MPXV) elicited apprehensions over its possible long-term health ramifications. Recent data indicate a potential association between MPXV infection and the onset of autoimmune disorders, such as type 1 diabetes (T1D). This article analyzes the possible methods for MPXV infection to induce autoimmune responses and damage pancreatic β-cells. We examine from published articles the possible MPXV-induced immune dysregulation and inflammation in the development of T1D. Utilizing insights from other diabetogenic viruses, such as enterovirus and SARS-CoV-2. Currently, the association between MPXV and the development of T1D is scarce. Therefore, additional studies are essential for establishing a conclusive causal link between MPXV and T1D.
当前全球范围内的猴痘(MPXV)大流行引发了人们对其可能产生的长期健康影响的担忧。最近的数据表明,MPXV感染与自身免疫性疾病的发病之间可能存在关联,如1型糖尿病(T1D)。本文分析了MPXV感染诱导自身免疫反应并损害胰腺β细胞的可能机制。我们从已发表的文章中研究了MPXV在T1D发病过程中可能诱导的免疫失调和炎症。借鉴其他致糖尿病病毒的相关见解,如肠道病毒和严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)。目前,MPXV与T1D发病之间的关联尚少。因此,开展更多研究对于确定MPXV与T1D之间的确切因果关系至关重要。
