Their is a counteraction between a decrease in the disruptive ability of metal-associated oligomer species and an increase in the quantity of oligomers promoted by the metal binding in the activity of hIAPP induced membrane damage.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) constitute an important pharmacotherapeutic class that, over the past decade, have expanded in application to a panoply of medical conditions. They have been tested for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s to reduce inflammation and also in the attempt to abrogate amyloid deposition. However, the use of NSAIDs as aggregation inhibitors has not been extensively studied in pancreatic amyloid deposition. Pancreatic amyloidosis involves the misfolding of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) and contributes to the progression of type-2 diabetes in humans and felines. To ascertain their antiamyloidogenic activity, several NSAIDs were tested using fluorometric thioflavin-T assays, circular dichroism, photo-induced cross-linking assays, and cell culture. Celecoxib, diclofenac, indomethacin, meloxicam, niflumic acid, nimesulide, phenylbutazone, piroxicam, sulindac, and tenoxicam reduced fibrillization at a molar ratio of 1:10. The circular dichroism spectra of diclofenac, piroxicam, and sulindac showed characteristic spectral signatures found in predominantly α-helical structures. The oligomerization of human IAPP was abrogated with diclofenac and sulindac at a molar ratio of 1:5. The cytotoxic effects of pre-incubated human IAPP on cultured INS-1 cells were noticeably reduced in the presence of diclofenac, meloxicam, phenylbutazone, sulindac, and tenoxicam at a molar ratio of 1:10. Our results demonstrate that NSAIDs can provide chemical scaffolds to generate new and promising antiamyloidogenic agents that can be used alone or as a coadjuvant therapy.

The presence of fibrillar protein deposits (amyloid) of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans is thought to be related to death of the insulin-producing isletβ-cells in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). The mechanism of hIAPP-inducedβ-cell death is not understood. However, there is growing evidence that hIAPP-induced disruption ofβ-cell membranes is the cause of hIAPP cytotoxicity. Amyloid cytotoxicity by membrane damage has not only been suggested for hIAPP, but also for peptides and proteins related to other misfolding diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and prion diseases. Here we review the interaction of hIAPP with membranes, and discuss recent progress in the field, with a focus on hIAPP structure and on the proposed mechanisms of hIAPP-induced membrane damage in relation toβ-cell death in DM2.

Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) is the major component of the amyloid deposits found in the pancreatic islets of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Mature hIAPP, a 37-aa peptide, is natively unfolded in its monomeric state but forms islet amyloid in T2DM. In common with other misfolded and aggregated proteins, amyloid formation involves aggregation of monomers of hIAPP into oligomers, fibrils, and ultimately mature amyloid deposits. hIAPP is coproduced and stored with insulin by the pancreatic isletβ-cells and is released in response to the stimuli that lead to insulin secretion. Accumulating evidence suggests that hIAPP amyloid deposits that accompany T2DM are not just an insignificant phenomenon derived from the disease progression but that hIAPP aggregation induces processes that impair the functionality and the viability ofβ-cells. In this review, we particularly focus on hIAPP structure, hIAPP aggregation, and hIAPP-membrane interactions. We will also discuss recent findings on the mechanism of hIAPP-membrane damage and on hIAPP-induced cell death. Finally, the development of successful antiamyloidogenic agents that prevent hIAPP fibril formation will be examined.

AbstractThe aberrant misfolding and self-assembly of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP)–a hormone that is co-secreted with insulin from pancreatic β-cells–into toxic oligomers, protofibrils and fibrils has been observed in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The formation of these insoluble aggregates has been linked with the death and dysfunction of β-cells. Therefore, hIAPP aggregation has been identified as a therapeutic target for T2DM management. Several natural products are now being investigated for their potential to inhibit hIAPP aggregation and/or disaggregate preformed aggregates. In this study, we attempt to identify the anti-amyloidogenic potential of Myricetin (MYR)- a polyphenolic flavanoid, commonly found in fruits (like Syzygium cumini). Our results from biophysical studies indicated that MYR supplementation inhibits hIAPP aggregation and disaggregates preformed fibrils into non-toxic species. This protection was accompanied by inhibition of oxidative stress, reduction in lipid peroxidation and the associated membrane damage and restoration of mitochondrial membrane potential in INS-1E cells. MYR supplementation also reversed the loss of functionality in hIAPP exposed pancreatic islets via restoration of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Molecular dynamics simulation studies suggested that MYR molecules interact with the hIAPP pentameric fibril model at the amyloidogenic core region and thus prevents aggregation and distort the fibrils.
