In 1960, immunoassays of insulin first demonstrated significant quantities
of circulating hormone in non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetes and for
30 yr have fostered debate as to whether a beta-cell abnormality plays an
etiological role in this syndrome. Early efforts to determine the adequacy
of islet beta-cell function showed that obesity and its associated insulin
resistance were major confounding variables. Subsequently, it was
recognized that glucose not only directly regulated insulin synthesis and
secretion but moderated all other islet signals, including other
substrates, hormones, and neural factors. When both obesity and glucose are
taken into account, it becomes clear that patients with fasting
hyperglycemia all have abnormal islet function. Type II diabetes is
characterized by a defect in first-phase or acute glucose-induced insulin
secretion and a deficiency in the ability of glucose to potentiate other
islet nonglucose beta-cell secretagogues. The resulting hyperglycemia
compensates for the defective glucose potentiation and maintains nearly
normal basal insulin levels and insulin responses to nonglucose
secretagogues but does not correct the defect in first-phase
glucose-induced insulin release. Before the development of fasting
hyperglycemia, only first-phase glucose-induced insulin secretion is
obviously defective. This is because progressive islet failure is matched
by rising glucose levels to maintain basal and second-phase insulin output.
The relationship between islet function and fasting plasma glucose is
steeply curvilinear, so that there is a 75% loss of beta-cell function by
the time the diagnostic level of 140 mg/dl is exceeded. This new steady
state is characterized by glucose overproduction and inefficient
utilization. Insulin resistance is also present in most patients and
contributes to the hyperglycemia by augmenting the glucose levels needed
for compensation. Decompensation and absolute hypoinsulinemia occur when
the renal threshold for glucose is exceeded and prevents further elevation
of circulating glucose. The etiology of the islet beta-cell lesion is not
known, but a hypothesis based on basal hyperproinsulinemia and islet
amyloid deposits in the pancreas of type II diabetes is reviewed. The
recent discovery of the islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) or amylin, which
is the major constituent of islet amyloid deposits, is integrated into this
hypothesis. It is suggested that pro-IAPP and proinsulin processing and
mature peptide secretion normally occur together and that abnormal
processing, secondary to or in conjunction with defects in hormone
secretion, lead to progressive accumulation of intracellular IAPP and
pro-IAPP, which in cats, monkeys, and humans form intracellular fibrils and
amyloid deposits with a loss of beta-cell mass.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400
