BACKGROUND: We have previously shown that many chronic, inflammatory diseases are
accompanied, and possibly partly caused or exacerbated, by various
coagulopathies, manifested as anomalous clots in the form of 'dense matted
deposits'. More recently, we have shown that these clots can be amyloid in
nature, and that the plasma of healthy controls can be induced to form such clots
by the addition of tiny amounts of bacterial lipopolysaccharide or lipoteichoic
acid. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is also accompanied by raised levels of LPS. METHODS:
We use superresolution and confocal microscopies to investigate the amyloid
nature of clots from healthy and T2D individuals. RESULTS: We show here, with the
established stain thioflavin T and the novel stains Amytracker? 480 and 680, that
the clotting of plasma from type 2 diabetics is also amyloid in nature, and that
this may be prevented by the addition of suitable concentrations of LPS-binding
protein. CONCLUSION: This implies strongly that there is indeed a microbial
component to the development of type 2 diabetes, and suggests that LBP might be
used as treatment for it and its sequelae.
