Disease relevance of Cblb

 

High impact information on Cblb

  • Similar findings in Cblb-deficient mice are caused by enhanced T-cell activation [1].
  • Transgenic complementation with wildtype Cblb significantly suppresses development of the KDP phenotype [1].
  • Thus, Cblb functions as a negative regulator of autoimmunity and Cblb is a major susceptibility gene for type 1 diabetes in the rat [1].
  • In this paper, I review our positional cloning analysis of Iddm/kdp1 and propose a two-gene model of the development of type 1 diabetes in which two major susceptibility genes, Cblb and MHC, determine autoimmune reaction and tissue specificity to pancreatic beta-cells, respectively [2].
  • The up-regulated genes included those coding Casitas B-lineage lymphoma-b, insulin growth factor binding protein-1, titin and mitochondrial gene 16 S rRNA and two novel genes (function unknown) [3].
