Role of islet amyloid in type 2 diabetes mellitus: consequence or cause?

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is characterized metabolically by defects in both insulin secretion and insulin action, resulting in hyperglycemia. Histopathologically, DM2 is characterized by depositions of protein in the pancreatic islets. This 'islet amyloid' is present in > 90% of patients with DM2, as well as in monkeys and cats with DM2. The pathogenesis of DM2 is heterogeneous and multifactorial, although insulin resistance seems to be the predominant initiating factor for development of the disease. In the longer term, an insulin secretion defect is also revealed (referred to as 'beta-cell failure'), resulting in clinically manifest diabetes. Recent data, particularly from transgenic mouse studies, indicate that islet amyloidosis... (More)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is characterized metabolically by defects in both insulin secretion and insulin action, resulting in hyperglycemia. Histopathologically, DM2 is characterized by depositions of protein in the pancreatic islets. This 'islet amyloid' is present in > 90% of patients with DM2, as well as in monkeys and cats with DM2. The pathogenesis of DM2 is heterogeneous and multifactorial, although insulin resistance seems to be the predominant initiating factor for development of the disease. In the longer term, an insulin secretion defect is also revealed (referred to as 'beta-cell failure'), resulting in clinically manifest diabetes. Recent data, particularly from transgenic mouse studies, indicate that islet amyloidosis is a diabetogenic factor, which is both consequence (of insulin resistance) and cause (of beta-cell failure) of DM2. Available transgenic mouse models with islet amyloid formation in vivo will provide the opportunity to assess the effectiveness of novel anti-amyloidogenic therapies, for which promising results are emerging.
