Abstract

The hormone islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP, or amylin) plays a role in glucose homeostasis but aggregates to form islet amyloid in type-2 diabetes. Islet amyloid formation contributes to β -cell dysfunction and death in the disease and to the failure of islet transplants. Recent work suggests a role for IAPP aggregation in cardiovascular complications of type-2 diabetes and hints at a possible role in type-1 diabetes. The mechanisms of IAPP amyloid formation in vivo or in vitro are not understood and the mechanisms of IAPP induced β -cell death are not fully defined. Activation of the inflammasome, defects in autophagy, ER stress, generation of reactive oxygen species, membrane disruption, and receptor mediated mechanisms have all been proposed to play a role. Open questions in the field include the relative importance of the various mechanisms of β -cell death, the relevance of reductionist biophysical studies to the situation in vivo , the molecular mechanism of amyloid formation in vitro and in vivo , the factors which trigger amyloid formation in type-2 diabetes, the potential role of IAPP in type-1 diabetes, the development of clinically relevant inhibitors of islet amyloidosis toxicity, and the design of soluble, bioactive variants of IAPP for use as adjuncts to insulin therapy.

Figures

Figure 1 Primary sequences of human CGRP and of IAPP from different species. Residues that differ from the human IAPP sequence are in italics and underlined. The biologically active sequences all contain a disulfide bridge between Cys-2 and Cys-7 and have an amidated C-terminus. Primates and cats have been reported to form islet amyloid while, rodents, and dogs do not. Ferret and porcine IAPP are reported to be significantly less amyloidogenic than human IAPP. The ability of cow, bear, and puffer fish IAPP to form amyloid have not been investigated. Islet amyloid is found in the degu, a rodent, but it is derived from insulin, not from IAPP. Only partial sequences are available for rabbit and hare.

Figure 2 Processing of human PreProIAPP to produce mature IAPP. (a) The primary sequence of the 89-residue human PreProIAPP. The 22-residue signal sequence is shown in italics; the N- and C-terminal proIAPP flanking regions are underlined. (b) Primary sequence of the 67-residue proform of human IAPP. Pro-hIAPP is cleaved by the prohormone convertases PC(1/3) and PC2 at two conserved dibasic sites, indicated by arrows. The amidated C-terminus is produced after further processing by CPE/PAM. (c) The sequence of the mature 37-residue human IAPP. The biologically active peptide has an amidated C-terminus and a disulfide bridge between Cys-2 and Cys-7.

Figure 3 A model of the hIAPP fibril based on crystal structures of small peptide fragments of hIAPP. (a) Primary sequence of human IAPP. Residues color-coded red are found in the first β-strand in the fibril; those colored blue in the second β-strand and the ones located in the partially ordered loop that connects the two stands are colored green. The first seven residues are believed to be outside of the structured core of the fibril and are color-coded black. (b) Top down view of the model with several key residues shown. The N-termini are labeled. (c) View rotated by 90° showing the arrangement of the two stacks as a ribbon diagram.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
