Pancreatic β cells overexpressing hIAPP impaired mitophagy and unbalanced mitochondrial dynamics
Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP), or amylin, has the tendency to aggregate into insoluble amyloid fibrils, a typical feature of islets from type 2 diabetes individuals. Thus, we investigated comparatively the impact of hIAPP on key pathways involved in pancreatic beta survival. INS1E-hIAPP ce...

| Sumario: | Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP), or amylin, has the tendency to aggregate into insoluble amyloid fibrils, a typical feature of islets from type 2 diabetes individuals. Thus, we investigated comparatively the impact of hIAPP on key pathways involved in pancreatic beta survival. INS1E-hIAPP cells present a hyperactivation of MTORC1 and an inhibition of autophagy signaling, those cells showing an increase in cell size. Resveratrol, a MTORC1 inhibitor, can reverse TSC2 degradation that occurs in INS1E-hIAPP cells and diminished MTORC1 hyperactivation with concomitant autophagy stimulation. At the same time, a blockade in mitophagy was found in INS1E-hIAPP cells, as compared with control or INS1E-rIAPP cells. Consistently, human amylin overexpression generates a basal induction of nitrotyrosine levels and polyubiquitinated aggregates. Failure of the protein degradation machinery finally results in an accumulation of damaged and fissioned mitochondria, ROS production, and increased susceptibility to endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress-induced apoptosis. Overall, hIAPP overexpression in INS1E cells induced MTORC1 activation and mitophagy inhibition, favoring a pro-fission scenario of damaged mitochondria, these cells turn out to be more susceptible to the ER-stress-induced apoptosis and malfunction. |
