Abstract
We explored the impact of immune dysregulation on pancreatic beta cell injury in HIV patients. Analyzing 105 participant samples, we observed lower IL-21 levels and elevated immune checkpoint levels (e.g. PD-1, CD27+, CD40+) in untreated HIV patients. Notably, soluble TIM-3 correlated positively with improved beta cell function and inversely with beta cell stress, suggesting its potential role in beta cell protection in untreated HIV.
