Bisphenol Analogues

Bisphenols (BPs) are widely used in the production of plastic material, misfolded human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) is a causal factor in diabetes. We demonstrated BPs analogues show different effects on hIAPP amyloid formation.

Human Islet Amyloid Polypeptide

Pancreatic amyloid is found in patients with insulinomas and type 2 diabetes. To study mechanisms of islet amyloidogenesis, we produced transgenic mice expressing the unique component of human islet amyloid, human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP). These mice develop islet amyloid after 12 mo of high-fat feeding. To determine whether we could accelerate the rate of islet amyloid formation, we crossbred our hIAPP transgenic animals with RIP-Tag mice that develop islet tumors and die at 12 wk of age from hypoglycemia. At 12 wk of age, this new line of hIAPP×RIP-Tag mice was heavier (29.7 ± 1.0 vs. 25.0 ± 1.3 g, P < 0.05) and had increased plasma glucose levels (4.6 ± 0.4 vs. 2.9 ± 0.6 mmol/l, P < 0.05) compared with littermate RIP-Tag mice. However, the hIAPP×RIP-Tag mice did not display islet amyloid or amyloid fibrils despite high circulating hIAPP levels (24.6 ± 7.0 pmol/l). Interestingly, hIAPP×RIP-Tag mice had a longer life span than RIP-Tag mice (121 ± 8 vs. 102 ± 5 days, P < 0.05). This increase in life span in hIAPP×RIP-Tag was positively correlated with body weight ( r = 0.48, P < 0.05) and was associated with decreased insulin sensitivity compared with RIP-Tag mice. hIAPP×RIP-Tag mice did not develop amyloid during their 4-mo life span, suggesting that increased hIAPP secretion is insufficient for islet amyloid formation within such a short time. However, hIAPP×RIP-Tag mice did have an increase in life span that was associated with insulin resistance, suggesting that hIAPP has extrapancreatic effects, possibly on peripheral glucose metabolism.

Amyloid Deposits

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small vesicles released by cells to aid cell–cell communication and tissue homeostasis. Human islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is the major component of amyloid deposits found in pancreatic islets of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). IAPP is secreted in conjunction with insulin from pancreatic β cells to regulate glucose metabolism. Here, using a combination of analytical and biophysical methods in vitro, we tested whether EVs isolated from pancreatic islets of healthy patients and patients with T2D modulate IAPP amyloid formation. We discovered that pancreatic EVs from healthy patients reduce IAPP amyloid formation by peptide scavenging, but T2D pancreatic and human serum EVs have no effect. In accordance with these differential effects, the insulin:C-peptide ratio and lipid composition differ between EVs from healthy pancreas and EVs from T2D pancreas and serum. It appears that healthy pancreatic EVs limit IAPP amyloid formation via direct binding as a tissue-specific control mechanism.
