Islet amyloid polypeptide toxicity and membrane interactions.
Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is responsible for amyloid formation in type 2 diabetes and contributes to the failure of islet cell transplants, however the mechanisms of IAPP-induced cytotoxicity are not known. Interactions with model anionic membranes are known to catalyze IAPP amyloid formation in vitro. Human IAPP damages anionic membranes, promoting vesicle leakage, but the features that...
متن کاملIslet amyloid polypeptide inhibits insulin secretion in conscious rats.
To investigate the effect of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP, amylin) exposure on insulin secretion in vivo, the plasma glucose level of conscious rats was clamped at 11.1 mmol/l (hyperglycemic clamp) during the last 2 h of a 24-h infusion study. Group parameters were A, 24-h saline; B and C, 22-h saline followed by 2-h IAPP (B, 8.5 pmol/min; C, 85 pmol/min), and D, 24-h IAPP (85 pmol/min). Ind...
متن کاملIslet amyloid polypeptide, islet amyloid, and diabetes mellitus.
Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP, or amylin) is one of the major secretory products of β-cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. It is a regulatory peptide with putative function both locally in the islets, where it inhibits insulin and glucagon secretion, and at distant targets. It has binding sites in the brain, possibly contributing also to satiety regulation and inhibits gastric emptyi...
متن کاملIslet Amyloid Polypeptide is not a Target Antigen for CD8+ T-Cells in Type 2 Diabetes
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disorder in which beta-cells are destroyed. The islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) produced by beta-cells has been reported to influence beta-cell destruction. Objective: To evaluate if IAPP can act as an autoantigen and therefore, to see if CD8 + T-cells specific for this protein might be present in T2D patients. Methods: Peripheral blood ...
متن کاملInhibitory effects of choline-O-sulfate on amyloid formation of human islet amyloid polypeptide
Choline-O-sulfate (2-(trimethylammonio)ethyl sulfate, COS) is a naturally occurring osmolyte that is synthesized by plants, lichens, algae, fungi, and several bacterial species. We examined the inhibitory effects of COS on amyloid formation of the human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP or amylin) using a thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence assay, circular dichroism spectroscopy and transmission ele...
