  • Characterization of β-cell function of pancreatic islets isolated from bank voles developing glucose intolerance/diabetes : an animal model showing features of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and a possible role of the Ljungan virus
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: General and Comparative Endocrinology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0016-6480 .- 1095-6840. ; 154:1-3, s. 41-47

    • Bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) kept in captivity develop diabetes mellitus to a significant extent. Also in wild bank voles, elevated blood glucose has been observed. A newly isolated picornavirus named Ljungan virus (LV) has been found in the pancreas of these bank voles. Moreover, LV infection in combination with environmental factors may cause glucose intolerance/diabetes (GINT/D) in normal mice. The aim of the present study was to investigate the functional characteristics of pancreatic islets, isolated from bank voles, bred in the laboratory but considered LV infected. About 20% of all males and females were classified as GINT/D following a glucose tolerance test. Of these animals the majority had become diabetic by 20 weeks of age, with a tendency towards an earlier onset in the males. GINT/D animals had increased serum insulin levels. Islets were tested on the day of isolation (day 0) and after 1 week of culture for their insulin content and their capacity to synthesize (pro)insulin, secrete insulin and metabolize glucose. Functional differences could be observed between normal and GINT/D animals as well as between genders. An elevated basal insulin secretion was observed on day 0 indicating β-cell dysfunction among islets isolated from diabetic males. In vitro culture could reverse some functional changes. The increased serum insulin level and the increased basal islet insulin secretion may suggest that the animals had developed a type 2 diabetes-like condition. It is likely that the putative stress imposed in the laboratory, maybe in combination with LV infection, can lead to an increased functional demand on the β-cells.

  • Pancreatic islets of bank vole show signs of dysfunction after prolonged exposure to high glucose concentrations in vitro
  • 2010

    • Bank voles develop glucose intolerance/diabetes mellitus when kept in captivity. We have characterized beta-cell function of glucose intolerant/diabetic animals, and found that this animal model has features of both human type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to study the functional alterations of islets isolated from glucose tolerant bank voles after a prolonged exposure to various glucose concentrations in vitro. For this purpose, pancreatic islets from normal (glucose tolerant) male and female bank voles were cultured at different glucose concentrations (5.6, 11.1 (control), or 28 mM) whereupon islet functions were examined. Overall, islet insulin output was lowered at 5.6 mM glucose, and similar to control, or enhanced after culture in 28 mM glucose. High glucose culture led to decreased insulin contents, but there was no change in islet DNA content and in morphological assessments of cell death, with the latter findings suggesting that the so-called glucotoxicity had not evolved. A slight gender difference was observed in that islets isolated from females exhibited a glucose-regulated (pro) insulin biosynthesis rate and insulin gene expression. In conclusion, we have found that islets isolated from female and male bank voles are affected by glucose concentrations in vitro in that some signs of dysfunction were observed upon high glucose exposure. A minor gender difference was observed suggesting that the islets of the females may more readily adapt to the elevated glucose concentration than islets of the male bank voles. It could be that these in vitro gender differences observed may represent a mechanism underlying the gender difference in diabetes development observed among bank voles.

  • Suppression of bank vole pancreatic islet function by proinflammatory cytokines
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0303-7207 .- 1872-8057. ; 305:1-2, s. 1-5
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Bank voles kept in captivity may develop diabetes. We recently characterized beta-cell function of pancreatic islets from normal and glucose intolerant/diabetic bank voles. These animals had features of both human type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Cytokines may impair β-cell function in both types of diabetes. Presently, we studied how pancreatic islets isolated from normal, i.e. glucose tolerant bank voles are affected by proinflammatory cytokines in vitro. Islets were exposed to hIL-1β (25U/ml) alone or in combination with hTNF-α (1000U/ml)+mIFN-γ (1000U/ml) for 48h, whereupon islet functions were assessed. Cytokines markedly reduced insulin gene expression and the (pro)insulin biosynthesis rate, which was accompanied by a profound depletion of the islet insulin content. The cytokines did not affect the culture medium insulin accumulation and the glucose oxidation rate, but caused a modest increase in medium nitrite, an indicator of nitric oxide (NO) generation. Cytokine-induced decrease in islet insulin content was not prevented by the preferential inducible NO synthase inhibitor aminoguanidine. These findings suggest that the reduction in islet insulin content is not attributed to enhanced exocytosis or related to altered glucose metabolism, but is rather due to a decline in insulin production. The suppressive effects of islet functions elicited by cytokines seem to be mediated by an NO-independent mechanism. In relation to previous studies on cytokine effects on islets from various species, the bank vole islets show a pattern which more resembles human islets than rat or murine islets.

  • Replication of Ljungan virus in cell culture : the genomic 5'-end, infectious cDNA clones and host cell response to viral infections
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Virus Research. - : Elsevier BV. - 0168-1702 .- 1872-7492. ; 130:1-2, s. 129-139
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Ljungan virus (LV) is a picornavirus recently isolated from bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus). The previously uncharacterised 5'-end sequence of the LV genome was determined. Infectious cDNA clones were constructed of the wild type LV prototype strain 87-012 and of the cytolytically replicating cell culture adapted variant 87-012G. Virus generated from cDNA clones showed identical growth characteristics as uncloned virus stocks. Cell culture adapted LV, 87-012G, showed a clear cytopathic effect (CPE) at 3-4 days post-infection (p.i.). Virus titers, determined by plaque titration, increased however only within the first 18h p.i. Replication of LV (+) strand RNA was determined by real-time PCR and corresponded in time with increasing titers. In contrast, the amounts of the replication intermediate, the (-) strand, continued to increase until the cells showed CPE. This indicates separate controlling mechanisms for replication of LV (+) and (-) genome strands. Replication was also monitored by immunofluorescence (IF) staining. IF staining of both prototype 87-012 and the CPE causing 87-012G showed groups of 5-25 infected cells at 48h p.i., suggesting a, for picornaviruses, not previously described direct cell-to-cell transmission.

  • Second External Quality Assurance Study for the Serological Diagnosis of Hantaviruses in Europe
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. - : Public Library of Science (PLoS). - 1935-2735. ; 6:4, s. e1607-
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Hantaviruses are endemic throughout the world and hosted by rodents and insectivores. Two human zoonoses, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), are caused by hantaviruses and case fatality rates have reached 12% for HFRS and 50% for HPS in some outbreaks. Symptomatic hantavirus infections in Europe are summarised as HFRS mainly due to Puumala, Dobrava-Belgrade and Saaremaa virus. While HFRS has an overall low incidence in Europe, the number of cases varies from 100 per year in all Eastern and Southern Europe up to 1,000 per year only in Finland. To assess the quality of hantavirus diagnostics, the European Network for the Diagnostics of 'Imported'' Viral Diseases (ENIVD) organised a first external quality assurance (EQA) in 2002. The purpose of this second EQA study is to collect updated information on the efficiency and accurateness of hantavirus serological methods applied by expert laboratories. A serum panel of 14 samples was sent to 28 participants in Europe of which 27 sent results. Performance in hantavirus diagnosis varied not only on the method used but also on the laboratories and the subclass of antibodies tested. Commercial and in-house assays performed almost equally. Enzyme immunoassays were mainly used but did not show the best performances while immunoblot assays were the less employed and showed overall better performances. IgM antibodies were not detected in 61% of the positive IgM samples and IgM detection was not performed by 7% of the laboratories indicating a risk of overlooking acute infections in patients. Uneven performances using the same method is indicating that there is still a need for improving testing conditions and standardizing protocols.

  • Ljungan Virus Detected in Bank Voles (Myodes glareolus) and Yellow-Necked Mice (Apodemus flavicollis) from Northern Italy
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Journal of Wildlife Diseases. - 0090-3558 .- 1943-3700. ; 46:1, s. 262-266
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Identified in 1998, Ljungan virus (LV; Picornaviridae) causes type 1 diabetes-like symptoms and myocarditis in bank voles (Myodes glareolus) from Sweden and Denmark, and may be a zoonotic agent of several important diseases (e.g., intrauterine fetal death, I diabetes, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and myocarditis). Using a real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay and sequence anlalysis, we detected LV in bank voles, and for the first time, in yellow-necked mice collected during 2006 from a site in northern Italy. The global distribution of LV and its role as a mammalian pathogen deserve further attention.

  • Antiviral treatments reduce severity of diabetes in Ljungan virus-infected CD-1 mice and delay onset in diabetes-prone BB rats
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Microbiology and immunology. - : Wiley. - 0385-5600 .- 1348-0421. ; 53:10, s. 567-572
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The effects of LV in two different species, CD-1 mice, without a genetic disposition for diabetes, and BB rats prone to T1D were examined. Male CD-1 mice that had been exposed to LV in utero developed a type 2-like diabetes with increased blood glucose, insulin levels and epididymal fat at the age of 10-15 weeks. Combination therapy including LV-antiserum and an antiviral drug, Pleconaril, significantly reduced the levels of blood glucose and insulin and the amount of abdominal fat. In BB rats, LV has been found in both prediabetic- and diabetic diabetes-prone rats, as well as in diabetes-resistant rats. To evaluate whether the presence of LV has any influence on the onset of T1D, prediabetic BB rats were treated with an antiserum against LV or a combination of the antiviral drugs Pleconaril and Ribavirin. In the group treated with antiviral drugs, the onset was significantly delayed. These results indicate that the presence of LV can be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes in these animal models.

  • Development and characterization of murine monoclonal antibodies to first and second Ljungan virus genotypes
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Journal of Virological Methods. - : Elsevier BV. - 0166-0934 .- 1879-0984. ; 184:1-2, s. 27-33
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Ljungan virus (LV) is a rodent pathogen that causes diabetes and myocarditis in its natural host. In addition, LV has been associated with human disease during pregnancy and of neonates, respectively. A panel of 22 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against first and second LV genotypes were produced by immunization of BALB/c mice with whole virus. Thirteen mAbs were class IgG antibodies and nine were class IgM antibodies; all of them contained kappa light chains. All mAbs were reactive with LV by capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and indirect immunofluorescence assay. In addition, five mAbs showed a positive staining in immunohistochemistry. No mAb bound to denatured capsid proteins detected by western immunoblotting. In contrast, the target capsid protein(s) of 20 mAbs were identified by immune precipitation, revealing the conformational nature of epitopes required for mAb binding. None of the mAbs reacted with third and fourth LV genotypes. mAbs characterized should provide useful tools for the development of diagnostic assays and the investigation of LV first and second genotype properties and its pathogenesis.
