2043-P: Hyaluronan Produced by Inflamed Islet Endothelial Cells Contributes to HIAPP Aggregation
In type 2 diabetes (T2D), aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) occurs within the islet extracellular matrix (ECM) and is toxic to β cells. We recently showed that hIAPP aggregation also induces a pro-inflammatory response in islet endothelial cells (ECs). In most tissues, this infl...

Zusammenfassung: | In type 2 diabetes (T2D), aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) occurs within the islet extracellular matrix (ECM) and is toxic to β cells. We recently showed that hIAPP aggregation also induces a pro-inflammatory response in islet endothelial cells (ECs). In most tissues, this inflammatory response in ECs is mediated by upregulating production of ECM components, such as hyaluronan (HA). Indeed, we find that HA accumulates in the islet ECM of hIAPP transgenic mice, where it was colocalized with amyloid deposits, while no HA accumulation occurred in non-transgenic littermate controls (which do not develop islet amyloid). Therefore, we hypothesized that hIAPP aggregation results in HA production from islet ECs, and that this HA production exacerbates hIAPP deposition/toxicity. To test this hypothesis, we utilized immortalized murine islet ECs (MS-1 cells), which under normal conditions express low levels of HA synthase (Has isoforms 2 and 3). Treatment of these cells for 48 h with hIAPP (20 µM) increased Has2 and Has3 mRNA levels (23±4 and 8±1 fold over vehicle; n=4, p |
