Suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 inhibits caspase activation and protects from cytokine-induced beta cell death

Abstract: Pancreatic beta cell damage caused by proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) is a key event in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. The suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1) blocks IFNgamma-induced signaling and prevents diabetes in the non-obese diabetic mouse. Here, we investigated if SOCS-1 overexpression in primary beta cells provides protection from cytokine-induced islet cell dysfunction and death. We demonstrat… Show more

“…In addition, increased expressions of SOCS5 and SOCS6 were detected in ovary and lung cancer tissues. Considering that increased SOCS1 and SOCS3 expressions were associated with reduced activity of apoptotic pathways in some cancer tissues [30,31], it is possible that SOCS5 and SOCS6 may have the function in the increased levels in those cancer tissues. In order to confirm the results from our study, normal and cancer tissue samples from other populations should be evaluated in future studies.…”

“…Interestingly, we have also shown that recombinant TRAIL might increase SOCS1 expression also at the pancreatic level. This is particularly remarkable, since increasing SOCS1 expression in β-cells has been shown to inhibit TNF-induced Fas expression in vitro and prevent the progression to diabetes in NOD mice (2123), and the overexpression of SOCS1 in islet grafts may inhibit or block the apoptotic pathway and prolong graft survival (22). …”

“…Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of ATF6 significantly suppresses NF-κB activation, which can transcriptionally regulate many other inflammatory genes 34. Activation of either JNKs or NF-κB pathways in pancreatic β-cells has been reported to cause increased expression of proinflammatory molecules, such as IL-8, IL-6, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, and tumor necrosis factor-α,35 that have a detrimental effect on cell survival and function 3638. Local chemokine and cytokine release can also contribute to the inflammatory milieu, attracting host macrophages to the pancreatic β-cells, which further propagate local inflammation 39,40.…”
