Crosstalk Between Mucosal-Associated Invariant T (MAIT) Cells and the Gut Microbiota and Mucosa in the Development of Type 1 Diabetes in Children
France180 participantsStarted 2022-01-01
Plain-language summary
To investigate in a prospective way changes in Mucosal-Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells frequency, phenotype and function in link with the gut microbiota, gut integrity and the presence of Coxsackie virus B in two cohorts of pediatric patients: patients with a high genetic risk of type 1 diabetes and pediatric patients with recently diagnosed T1D by comparison with control subjects
Tasks:
1. To measure blood MAIT cells frequency, phenotype and function in the three cohorts
2. To analyze gut microbiota and the presence of Coxsackie B enterovirus (CVB) and their impact on MAIT cell function
3. To evaluate gut integrity and analyze the gut mucosa
4. To integrate all the data obtained with T1D development and evolution
