Immune-mediated destruction of insulin-producing ß cells causes type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, how ß cells participate in their own destruction during the disease process is poorly understood. Here, we report that modulating the unfolded protein response (UPR) in ß cells of non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice by deleting the UPR sensor IRE1α prior to insulitis induced a transient dedifferentiation of ß cells, resulting in substantially reduced islet immune cell infiltration and ß cell apoptosis. Single-cell and whole-islet transcriptomics analyses of immature ß cells revealed remarkably diminished expression of ß cell autoantigens and MHC class I components, and upregulation of immune inhibitory markers. IRE1α-deficient mice exhibited significantly fewer cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in their pancreata, and adoptive transfer of their total T cells did not induce diabetes in Rag1-/- mice. Our results indicate that inducing ß cell dedifferentiation, prior to insulitis, allows these cells to escape immune-mediated destruction and may be used as a novel preventive strategy for T1D in high-risk individuals.
