The Impact of Parabacteroides distasonis Colonization on Hosts' Microbiome, Metabolome, Immune Responses, and Diabetes Onset
2024-06-17
Abstract excerpt
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a chronic disease caused by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells. The insulin B-chain 9-23 (insB:9-23) peptide is established as a critical epitope in triggering T1D. In our previous study, we showed that Parabacteroides distasonis , a human gut commensal, contains an insB:9-23 mimic in its hprt protein (residues, 4-18). This mimic (hprt4-18) activates insB:9-23...
