- Abstract
It is well known that the cytokine-induced apoptosis inhibitor 1 (CIAPIN1) protein plays an important role in biological progresses as an anti-apoptotic protein. Human islet amyloid peptide (hIAPP), known as amylin, is caused to pancreatic β-cell death in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the function of CIAPIN1 protein on T2DM is not yet well studied. Therefore, we investigated the effects of CIAPIN1 protein on a hIAPP-induced RINm5F cell and T2DM animal model induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) and streptozotocin (STZ). The Tat-CIAPIN1 protein reduced the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and regulated the apoptosis-related protein expression levels including COX-2, iNOS, Bcl-2, Bax, and Caspase-3 in hIAPP-induced RINm5F cells. In a T2DM mice model, the Tat-CIAPIN1 protein ameliorated the pathological changes of pancreatic β-cells and reduced the fasting blood glucose, body weight and hemoglobin Alc (HbAlc) levels. In conclusion, the Tat-CIAPIN1 protein showed protective effects against T2DM by protection of β-cells via inhibition of hIAPP toxicity and by regulation of a MAPK signal pathway, suggesting CIAPIN1 protein can be a therapeutic protein drug candidate by beneficial regulation of T2DM.
