    • Autoimmune type 1 diabetes is strongly associated with a number of immune abnormalities that manifest themselves before and at the time of clinical diagnosis. The clinical onset is associated with a major loss of the pancreatic islet beta cells. Insulin treatment is the only treatment option since numerous trials with agents that suppress or modulate immune function have failed to preserve beta cell function long term. Recent studies suggest that it is possible to predict clinical onset of diabetes by combining genetic with autoantibody testing. In this review we will summarize current and future drug targets for subjects at risk for type 1 diabetes as well as for subjects with recent onset disease. We will also discuss the possible importance of initiating as well as contributing factors such as reactive oxygen species and modified autoantigens. It is speculated that drug targets of factors important to disease pathogenesis may provide safe and effective adductive treatment to preserve beta cell function in autoantibody positive subjects who are at maximum risk for disease.

  • S100A9 as a pharmacological target molecule in inflammation and cancer.

    • Upon tissue injury and infection both stressed and dying cells can release proteins that normally reside inside the cells. Some of the released proteins become ligands of various cell surface receptors expressed by local cells and such proteins are denoted damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Binding of some DAMPs to certain cell surface receptors induces signals emanating in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, ultimately leading to an inflammatory response. Our laboratory is interested in the S100A9 protein, a bona fide DAMP protein. This protein normally resides inside monocytes and neutrophils and in these cells it forms heterodimers with the S100A8 protein. The S100A8/A9 heterodimer is released in large amounts during several types of inflammatory disease and is currently used clinically as a biomarker in some diseases. The fact that several different pro-inflammatory functions have been ascribed to this protein makes it a potential target for the development of small molecule inhibitors. We have developed several such inhibitors, some of which are already in phase III clinical development. This review describes our efforts to investigate the biological functions of the S100A9 protein as well as our ongoing efforts of developing second-generation, more specific, small molecule inhibitors of its pro-inflammatory functions.
