Abstract Background Amyloid deposits are a typical finding in pancreatic islets from patients with type 2 diabetes. Whether this is linked to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes is currently unknown. Therefore, we compared the occurrence of islet amyloid in patients with type 2 diabetes, diabetes secondary to pancreatic disorders, and nondiabetic individuals. Patients and methods Pancreatic tissue from 15 nondiabetic patients, 22 patients with type 2 diabetes, and 11 patients with diabetes due to exocrine pancreatic disorders (chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic carcinoma) were stained for insulin, amyloid, and apoptosis. β-cell area, amyloid deposits, and β-cell apoptosis were quantified by morphometric analysis. Results The proportion of islets containing amyloid deposits was significantly higher in both type 2 diabetes and diabetes due to exocrine pancreatic disorders than in healthy subjects. Islets with both amyloid and apoptosis were observed more frequently in type 2 diabetes and significantly more so in diabetes due to exocrine pancreatic disorders. In both diabetic groups, apoptotic ß-cells were found significantly more frequently in islets with more prominent amyloid deposits. Conclusions The occurrence of amyloid deposits in both type 2 diabetes and diabetes secondary to exocrine pancreatic disorders suggests that islet amyloid formation is a common feature of diabetes mellitus of different etiologies and may be associated with a loss of pancreatic ß-cells.

It has been proved that human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP), the main constituent of islet amyloid deposition, is one of the important factors that can induce type 2 diabetes or graft failure after islet transplantation. As there is no research on whether resveratrol degrading the amyloid deposition by its special chemical structure or enhancing autophagy had been published, we decided to detect the function of resveratrol in degrading the amyloid deposition in pancreatic beta cells. We established stable hIAPP-INS1 cell line via transfecting INS1 cells by lentivirus that overexpresses hIAPP. Our research demonstrates that amyloid deposition existed in hIAPP-INS1 cell by the thioflavin S fluorescent staining, meanwhile the function of insulin secretion of hIAPP-INS1 cells was decreased significantly (p < 0.01). After treatment with resveratrol (20 μM) for 24 h, amyloid deposition in hIAPP-INS1 cells was decreased significantly, and the insulin secretion was restored significantly (p < 0.01). Once inhibited the autophagy of hIAPP-INS1 cells by 3-methyladenine for 24 h, resveratrol does not effectively remove hIAPP deposits again, and cannot improve the function of insulin secretion. These results provide a novel thought that resveratrol can degrade the amyloid deposition in type 2 diabetes and the graft after islet transplantation.

Vitamin D plays an important role in decreasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by influencing calcium metabolism, thereby reducing β-cell dysfunction and preventing insulin resistance. The findings of research works are contradictory enough, although some of them demonstrated an inverse relationship between vitamin D levels and the incidence of type 2 diabetes. The article describes the biological mechanisms of relationships between vitamin D levels and type 2 diabetes, reviews the results of the studies conducted and summarizes the available data. Key words: vitamin D, type 2 diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) was declared a pandemic by the WHO on 19 March 2020. This pandemic is associated with markedly elevated blood glucose levels and a remarkable degree of insulin resistance, which suggests pancreatic islet β-cell dysfunction or apoptosis and insulin’s inability to dispose of glucose into cellular tissues. Diabetes is known to be one of the top pre-existing co-morbidities associated with the severity of COVID-19 along with hypertension, cardiocerebrovascular disease, advanced age, male gender, and recently obesity. This review focuses on how COVID-19 may be responsible for the accelerated development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as one of its acute and suspected long-term complications. These observations implicate an active role of metabolic syndrome, systemic and tissue islet renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, redox stress, inflammation, islet fibrosis, amyloid deposition along with β-cell dysfunction and apoptosis in those who develop T2DM. Utilizing light and electron microscopy in preclinical rodent models and human islets may help to better understand how COVID-19 accelerates islet and β-cell injury and remodeling to result in the long-term complications of T2DM.

Hyperglycemia plays an important role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus, i.e., glucotoxicity, and it also is the major risk factor for microvascular complications. Thus, effective glycemic control will not only reduce the incidence of microvascular complications but also correct some of the metabolic abnormalities that contribute to the progression of the disease. Achieving durable tight glycemic control is challenging because of progressive β-cell failure and is hampered by increased frequency of side effects, e.g., hypoglycemia and weight gain. Most recently, inhibitors of the renal sodium-glucose cotransporter have been developed to produce glucosuria and reduce the plasma glucose concentration. These oral antidiabetic agents have the potential to improve glycemic control while avoiding hypoglycemia, to correct the glucotoxicity, and to promote weight loss. In this review, we will summarize the available data concerning the mechanism of action, efficacy, and safety of this novel antidiabetic therapeutic approach.
