Increased beta-cell apoptosis prevents adaptive increase in beta-cell mass in mouse model of type 2 diabetes: evidence for role of islet amyloid formation rather than direct action of amyloid.

Abstract：

:Nondiabetic obese humans adapt to insulin resistance by increasing beta-cell mass. In contrast, obese humans with type 2 diabetes have an approximately 60% deficit in beta-cell mass. Recent studies in rodents reveal that beta-cell mass is regulated, increasing in response to insulin resistance through increased beta-cell supply (islet neogenesis and beta-cell replication) and/or decreased beta-cell loss (beta-cell apoptosis). Prospective studies of islet turnover are not possible in humans. In an attempt to establish the mechanism for the deficit in beta-cell mass in type 2 diabetes, we used an obese versus lean murine transgenic model for human islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) that develops islet pathology comparable to that in humans with type 2 diabetes. By 40 weeks of age, obese nontransgenic mice did not develop diabetes and adapted to insulin resistance by a 9-fold increase (P < 0.001) in beta-cell mass accomplished by a 1.7-fold increase in islet neogenesis (P < 0.05) and a 5-fold increase in beta-cell replication per islet (P < 0.001). Obese transgenic mice developed midlife diabetes with islet amyloid and an 80% (P < 0.001) deficit in beta-cell mass that was due to failure to adaptively increase beta-cell mass. The mechanism subserving this failed expansion was a 10-fold increase in beta-cell apoptosis (P < 0.001). There was no relationship between the extent of islet amyloid or the blood glucose concentration and the frequency of beta-cell apoptosis. However, the frequency of beta-cell apoptosis was related to the rate of increase of islet amyloid. These prospective studies suggest that the formation of islet amyloid rather than the islet amyloid per se is related to increased beta-cell apoptosis in this murine model of type 2 diabetes. This finding is consistent with the hypothesis that soluble IAPP oligomers but not islet amyloid are responsible for increased beta-cell apoptosis. The current studies also support the concept that replicating beta-cells are more vulnerable to apoptosis, possibly accounting for the failure of beta-cell mass to expand appropriately in response to obesity in type 2 diabetes.
