Understanding the Mechanism of Diabetes Mellitus in LRBA-Deficient Patient by Iman Hawari (12561958)

“…Consistent with our results, blood transcriptomic analysis revealed that abundance of aggregates related to T cells or B cells (A1 & A2) or inflammation (A33 & A35) did not differ compared to healthy controls. However, aggregates related to CD71+ erythroid cells, which have immunosuppressive characteristic, were highly upregulated in the LRBA-deficient patients.Experimental analysis of MIN6 cell in culture revealed that in siRNA-mediated-knockdown of LRBA revealed a significant decreased intracellular proinsulin and mature insulin inside β-cells in comparison so the wild type cells. …”
