Islet amyloid contributes to the loss of β-cell mass in type 2 diabetes. To examine the roles of glucose and time on amyloid formation, we developed a rapid in vitro model using isolated islets from human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) transgenic mice. Islets from hIAPP transgenic and non-transgenic mice were cultured for up to 7 days with either 5.5, 11.1, 16.7 or 33.3mmol/l glucose. At various time-points throughout the culture period, islets were harvested for determination of amyloid and β-cell areas, and for measures of cell viability, insulin content, and secretion. Following culture of hIAPP transgenic islets in 16.7 or 33.3mmol/l glucose, amyloid formation was significantly increased compared to 5.5 or 11.1mmol/l glucose culture. Amyloid was detected as early as day 2 and increased in a time-dependent manner so that by day 7, a decrease in the proportion of β-cell area in hIAPP transgenic islets was evident. When compared to non-transgenic islets after 7-day culture in 16.7mmol/l glucose, hIAPP transgenic islets were 24% less viable, had decreased β-cell area and insulin content, but displayed no change in insulin secretion. Thus, we have developed a rapid in vitro model of light microscopy-visible islet amyloid formation that is both glucose- and time-dependent. Formation of amyloid in this model is associated with reduced cell viability and β-cell loss but adequate functional adaptation. It thus enables studies investigating the mechanism(s) underlying the amyloid-associated loss of β-cell mass in type 2 diabetes.
