Résumé du Projet de Stage

Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is an inflammatory disease which damages the pancreatic islets and leads to insufficient insulin production resulting in hyperglycemia. During metabolic dysfunction, a hallmark of T2D, experimental and clinical data have shown that an inflammatory response develops in the adipose tissue as well as in pancreatic islets, leading to the accumulation of macrophages secreting pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, what triggers this inflammation in adipose tissue and pancreatic islets is still unknown.

Toll like receptor 9 (TLR9) is an immune innate receptor highly expressed by macrophages and its activation leads to production of proinflammatory cytokines and inflammation.

In this project, we will investigate the role of TLR9 in T2D using mice lacking TLR9 or conditionally deficient for intracellular TLR9 signaling in macrophages (LysM-Cre crossed with floxed TLR9 mice).
