| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We identified ZBP1 and RIG-I (virus receptors) and IRF3 (transcription factor for type I interferon production) as candidate key molecules by the analysis of pancreas specimens of a fulminant type 1 diabetic patient with cytomegalovirus reactivation. We also established in vitro treatment model of fulminant type 1 diabetes by using insulin positive cells induced from healthy individuals-derived iPS cells and identified GLP-1 receptor agonist as a candidate drug which could reduce apoptosis and beta cell destruction.
