The inventor of the present disclosure has advantageously elucidated the role of senescent processes in the development of Type 1 diabetes. Genotoxic stress responses, senescence, and acquisition of a SASP condition in beta cells are drivers that progress at-risk individuals to overt Type 1 diabetes. The administration of senolytic agents to at risk individuals selectively removes senescent cells and relieves beta cells from the factors which drive the development of overt Type 1 diabetes. Accordingly, Type 1 diabetes can be prevented in at-risk individuals by the administration of senolytic compositions. Additionally, given the major role of SASP in the development of Type 1 diabetes, the inhibition of SASP factors may be used to prevent Type 1 diabetes.
本公开内容的发明者以其优势阐明了衰老过程在 1 型糖尿病发展中的作用。
基因毒性应激反应、衰老和β细胞获得
SASP 状态是高危人群发展为明显 1 型糖尿病的驱动因素。对高危人群施用衰老分解剂,可选择性地清除衰老细胞,并使β细胞免受驱动明显的1型糖尿病发展的因素的影响。因此,对高危人群施用衰老分解组合物可以预防 1 型糖尿病。此外,鉴于
SASP 在 1 型糖尿病发病过程中的重要作用,抑制
SASP 因子可用于预防 1 型糖尿病。
