RESUMO
The in vitro responses of T cells from 13 insulin-nonresistant and 1 immunologically insulin-resistant (IIR) type I diabetes patients to sulfated beef insulin (SBI) were analyzed. Insulin A-loop specific CD4+ T cells from these patients did not respond to SBI. After 1 yr of treatment with SBI the IIR patient's T cell and antibody responses to beef, pork, and human insulin progressed from very high to nondetectable levels. This occurred in parallel to the appearance of her insulin-specific CD8+ T cells, which inhibited the response of her A-loop-specific CD4+ T cells to insulin. A transient increase in her CD8+ anti-insulin antibody activity coincided with a relative lack of her CD8+ T cell activity. CD8+ T cells that regulate T cell responsiveness to insulin are probably present but difficult to detect in most type I diabetes patients. These T cells were identified in only 2 of 13 insulin-nonresistant patients who presented with lipoatrophy and insulin allergy, respectively, and who possessed high-titered, anti-insulin antibodies. Our data demonstrate that CD8+ T cells play an important role in controlling peripheral tolerance to insulin and may abrogate IIR in a diabetic patient treated with SBI.
