Human islet amyloid polypeptide ‐induced β‐cell cytotoxicity is linked to formation of α‐sheet structure
AbstractType 2 diabetes (T2D) results from insulin secretory dysfunction arising in part from the loss of pancreatic islet β-cells. Several factors contribute to β-cell loss, including islet amyloid formation, which is observed in over 90% of individuals with T2D. The amyloid is comprised of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP). Here we provide evidence that early in aggregation, hIAPP forms toxic oligomers prior t o formation of amyloid fibrils. The toxic oligomers contain α-sheet secondary structure, a nonstandard secondary structure associated with toxic oligomers in other amyloid diseases.De novo, synthetic α-sh...
