Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) plays a role in regulating glucose levels but forms pancreatic amyloid in type-2 diabetes. The concentration of anionic lipids in 13-cell plasma membrane is low. Ca2+ and Mg2+ affect hIAPP-membrane interactions by neutralizing POPS charge.
Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP, also known as amylin) is a 37 amino acid pancreatic polypeptide hormone that plays a role in regulating glucose levels, but forms pancreatic amyloid in type-2 diabetes. The process of amyloid formation by hIAPP contributes to 13 -cell death in the disease. Multiple mechanisms of hIAPP induced toxicity of 13 -cells have been proposed including disruption of cellular membranes. However, the nature of hIAPP membrane interactions and the effect of ions and other molecules on hIAPP membrane interactions are not fully understood. Many studies have used model membranes with a high content of anionic lipids, often POPS, however the concentration of anionic lipids in the 13 -cell plasma membrane is low. Here we study the concentration dependent effect of Ca2+ (0 to 50 mM) on hIAPP membrane interactions using large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) with anionic lipid content ranging from 0 to 50 mol%. We find that Ca2+ does not effectively inhibit hIAPP amyloid formation and hIAPP induced membrane leakage from binary LUVs with a low percentage of POPS, but has a greater effect on LUVs with a high percentage of POPS. Mg2+ had very similar effects, and the effects of Ca2+ and Mg2+ can be largely rationalized by the neutralization of POPS charge. The implications for hIAPP-membrane interactions are discussed.
