    Disease-modifying therapies and features linked to treatment response in type 1 diabetes prevention: a systematic review
    (Springer Nature, 2023-10-05) Felton, Jamie L.; Griffin, Kurt J.; Oram, Richard A.; Speake, Cate; Long, S. Alice; Onengut-Gumuscu, Suna; Rich, Stephen S.; Monaco, Gabriela S. F.; Evans-Molina, Carmella; DiMeglio, Linda A.; Ismail, Heba M.; Steck, Andrea K.; Dabelea, Dana; Johnson, Randi K.; Urazbayeva, Marzhan; Gitelman, Stephen; Wentworth, John M.; Redondo, Maria J.; Sims, Emily K.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from immune-mediated destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. Prevention efforts have focused on immune modulation and supporting beta cell health before or around diagnosis; however, heterogeneity in disease progression and therapy response has limited translation to clinical practice, highlighting the need for precision medicine approaches to T1D disease modification. Methods: To understand the state of knowledge in this area, we performed a systematic review of randomized-controlled trials with ≥50 participants cataloged in PubMed or Embase from the past 25 years testing T1D disease-modifying therapies and/or identifying features linked to treatment response, analyzing bias using a Cochrane-risk-of-bias instrument. Results: We identify and summarize 75 manuscripts, 15 describing 11 prevention trials for individuals with increased risk for T1D, and 60 describing treatments aimed at preventing beta cell loss at disease onset. Seventeen interventions, mostly immunotherapies, show benefit compared to placebo (only two prior to T1D onset). Fifty-seven studies employ precision analyses to assess features linked to treatment response. Age, beta cell function measures, and immune phenotypes are most frequently tested. However, analyses are typically not prespecified, with inconsistent methods of reporting, and tend to report positive findings. Conclusions: While the quality of prevention and intervention trials is overall high, the low quality of precision analyses makes it difficult to draw meaningful conclusions that inform clinical practice. To facilitate precision medicine approaches to T1D prevention, considerations for future precision studies include the incorporation of uniform outcome measures, reproducible biomarkers, and prespecified, fully powered precision analyses into future trial design.

    Islet autoantibodies as precision diagnostic tools to characterize heterogeneity in type 1 diabetes: a systematic review
    (Springer Nature, 2024-04-06) Felton, Jamie L.; Redondo, Maria J.; Oram, Richard A.; Speake, Cate; Long, S. Alice; Onengut-Gumuscu, Suna; Rich, Stephen S.; Monaco, Gabriela S. F.; Harris-Kawano, Arianna; Perez, Dianna; Saeed, Zeb; Hoag, Benjamin; Jain, Rashmi; Evans-Molina, Carmella; DiMeglio, Linda A.; Ismail, Heba M.; Dabelea, Dana; Johnson, Randi K.; Urazbayeva, Marzhan; Wentworth, John M.; Griffin, Kurt J.; Sims, Emily K.; ADA/EASD PMDI; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Background: Islet autoantibodies form the foundation for type 1 diabetes (T1D) diagnosis and staging, but heterogeneity exists in T1D development and presentation. We hypothesized that autoantibodies can identify heterogeneity before, at, and after T1D diagnosis, and in response to disease-modifying therapies. Methods: We systematically reviewed PubMed and EMBASE databases (6/14/2022) assessing 10 years of original research examining relationships between autoantibodies and heterogeneity before, at, after diagnosis, and in response to disease-modifying therapies in individuals at-risk or within 1 year of T1D diagnosis. A critical appraisal checklist tool for cohort studies was modified and used for risk of bias assessment. Results: Here we show that 152 studies that met extraction criteria most commonly characterized heterogeneity before diagnosis (91/152). Autoantibody type/target was most frequently examined, followed by autoantibody number. Recurring themes included correlations of autoantibody number, type, and titers with progression, differing phenotypes based on order of autoantibody seroconversion, and interactions with age and genetics. Only 44% specifically described autoantibody assay standardization program participation. Conclusions: Current evidence most strongly supports the application of autoantibody features to more precisely define T1D before diagnosis. Our findings support continued use of pre-clinical staging paradigms based on autoantibody number and suggest that additional autoantibody features, particularly in relation to age and genetic risk, could offer more precise stratification. To improve reproducibility and applicability of autoantibody-based precision medicine in T1D, we propose a methods checklist for islet autoantibody-based manuscripts which includes use of precision medicine MeSH terms and participation in autoantibody standardization workshops.

    Meningeal lymphatics affect microglia responses and anti-Aβ immunotherapy
    (Springer Nature, 2021) Da Mesquita, Sandro; Papadopoulos, Zachary; Dykstra, Taitea; Brase, Logan; Farias, Fabiana Geraldo; Wall, Morgan; Jiang, Hong; Kodira, Chinnappa Dilip; de Lima, Kalil Alves; Herz, Jasmin; Louveau, Antoine; Goldman, Dylan H.; Salvador, Andrea Francesca; Onengut-Gumuscu, Suna; Farber, Emily; Dabhi, Nisha; Kennedy, Tatiana; Milam, Mary Grace; Baker, Wendy; Smirnov, Igor; Rich, Stephen S.; Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network; Benitez, Bruno A.; Karch, Celeste M.; Perrin, Richard J.; Farlow, Martin; Chhatwal, Jasmeer P.; Holtzman, David M.; Cruchaga, Carlos; Harari, Oscar; Kipnis, Jonathan; Neurology, School of Medicine
    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent cause of dementia1. Although there is no effective treatment for AD, passive immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies against amyloid beta (Aβ) is a promising therapeutic strategy2,3. Meningeal lymphatic drainage has an important role in the accumulation of Aβ in the brain4, but it is not known whether modulation of meningeal lymphatic function can influence the outcome of immunotherapy in AD. Here we show that ablation of meningeal lymphatic vessels in 5xFAD mice (a mouse model of amyloid deposition that expresses five mutations found in familial AD) worsened the outcome of mice treated with anti-Aβ passive immunotherapy by exacerbating the deposition of Aβ, microgliosis, neurovascular dysfunction, and behavioural deficits. By contrast, therapeutic delivery of vascular endothelial growth factor C improved clearance of Aβ by monoclonal antibodies. Notably, there was a substantial overlap between the gene signature of microglia from 5xFAD mice with impaired meningeal lymphatic function and the transcriptional profile of activated microglia from the brains of individuals with AD. Overall, our data demonstrate that impaired meningeal lymphatic drainage exacerbates the microglial inflammatory response in AD and that enhancement of meningeal lymphatic function combined with immunotherapies could lead to better clinical outcomes.

    Precision medicine is part of the logical evolution of contemporary evidence-based medicine that seeks to reduce errors and optimize outcomes when making medical decisions and health recommendations. Diabetes affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, many of whom will develop life-threatening complications and die prematurely. Precision medicine can potentially address this enormous problem by accounting for heterogeneity in the etiology, clinical presentation and pathogenesis of common forms of diabetes and risks of complications. This second international consensus report on precision diabetes medicine summarizes the findings from a systematic evidence review across the key pillars of precision medicine (prevention, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis) in four recognized forms of diabetes (monogenic, gestational, type 1, type 2). These reviews address key questions about the translation of precision medicine research into practice. Although not complete, owing to the vast literature on this topic, they revealed opportunities for the immediate or near-term clinical implementation of precision diabetes medicine; furthermore, we expose important gaps in knowledge, focusing on the need to obtain new clinically relevant evidence. Gaps include the need for common standards for clinical readiness, including consideration of cost-effectiveness, health equity, predictive accuracy, liability and accessibility. Key milestones are outlined for the broad clinical implementation of precision diabetes medicine.
