ClinConnect Summary

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is caused by autoimmune destruction of beta cells in the islet. Insulin has been used as a routine therapy for T1DM to alleviate the hyperglycemic status, yet cannot effectively prevent the progressing destruction of beta cells or preserve its function. Our preliminary data identified sorafenib as an inhibitor of Th1 differentiation and an indirect inhibitor of JAK2 and found that sorafenib prevented and reversed T1DM in NOD mice by decreasing the accumulation of Th1 cells and the expression of inflammatory cytokines in pancreas. Sorafenib is already in clini...
