Aggregation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) into amyloid fibrils in islets of
Langerhans is associated with type 2 diabetes, and formation of toxic IAPP
species is believed to contribute to the loss of insulin-producing beta cells.
The BRICHOS domain of integral membrane protein 2B (Bri2), a transmembrane
protein expressed in several peripheral tissues and in the brain, has recently
been shown to prevent fibril formation and toxicity of A?42, an amyloid-forming
peptide in Alzheimer disease. In this study, we demonstrate expression of Bri2 in
human islets and in the human beta-cell line EndoC-?H1. Bri2 colocalizes with
IAPP intracellularly and is present in amyloid deposits in patients with type 2
diabetes. The BRICHOS domain of Bri2 effectively inhibits fibril formation in
vitro and instead redirects IAPP into formation of amorphous aggregates.
Reduction of endogenous Bri2 in EndoC-?H1 cells with siRNA increases sensitivity
to metabolic stress leading to cell death while a concomitant overexpression of
Bri2 BRICHOS is protective. Also, coexpression of IAPP and Bri2 BRICHOS in
lateral ventral neurons of Drosophila melanogaster results in an increased cell
survival. IAPP is considered to be the most amyloidogenic peptide known, and
described findings identify Bri2, or in particular its BRICHOS domain, as an
important potential endogenous inhibitor of IAPP aggregation and toxicity, with
the potential to be a possible target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
