Abstract

OBJECTIVE We related organ-specific autoantibodies, including diabetes-associated autoantibodies (DAAs) and non-DAAs to systemic cytokines/chemokines in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS From the European Action LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults) cohort, patients with adult-onset type 1 diabetes (n = 80, of whom 50 had LADA and 30 had classic type 1 diabetes) and type 2 diabetes (n = 626) were analyzed for DAAs (GAD antibody [GADA], IA-2 antigen, islet cell antibody, and zinc transporter T8), non-DAAs (transglutaminase, thyroid peroxide autoantibodies, parietal cell antibodies), and 10 immune mediator concentrations (measured by LUMINEX). RESULTS Type 1 diabetes patients (whether having classic type 1 diabetes or LADA), apart from their clinical phenotype, could not be distinguished by either autoantibodies (both DAAs and non-DAAs) or immune mediators. In type 1 diabetes, most immune mediators (9 of 10) were negatively correlated with DAA titers. Type 2 diabetes patients, who by definition were without DAAs, had fewer non-DAAs (P < 0.0005), but had higher levels of proinflammatory immune mediators, especially compared with patients with type 1 diabetes who had high GADA titers (interleukin [IL]-6 [P < 0.001], soluble E-selectin [P < 0.01], and IL-1 receptor antagonist [P = 0.052], for trend). CONCLUSIONS Patients with type 1 diabetes had more DAAs and non-DAAs than did those with type 2 diabetes, whereas the frequency and nature of these autoantibodies was broadly similar in classic type 1 diabetes and LADA. Systemic immune mediator levels, in the main, were negatively correlated with DAA titers, and, for some, were higher in patients with type 2 diabetes, especially when compared with patients who had high GADA titers. Differences in the clinical classification of diabetes are associated with graded differences in adaptive and innate immune reactivity.
