The Human IAPP Stable Cell Line, using the HeLa cell line, is engineered to express the IAPP (Islet Amyloid Polypeptide) gene. IAPP, also known as amylin, is a hormone co-secreted with insulin by the beta cells of the pancreas. It plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels, but abnormal processing and aggregation of IAPP can lead to the formation of amyloid fibrils, which are associated with type 2 diabetes and other pancreatic disorders. The HeLa cell line, derived from human cervical cancer cells, is widely used in biomedical research for its ability to grow rapidly and support the expression of foreign genes. This stable cell line is important for studying the mechanisms of IAPP aggregation and its implications in disease, as well as for the development of potential therapeutic interventions.
The Human IAPP Stable Cell Line - HeLa is a specialized tool for studying the role of Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP) in various physiological and pathological conditions. This cell line, which expresses the human IAPP gene, can be utilized in the following applications: (1) Diabetes Research: IAPP is co-secreted with insulin by pancreatic beta cells and plays a role in regulating blood glucose levels. This cell line can be used to investigate the effects of IAPP on insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis, which is crucial for understanding the pathogenesis of diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes where IAPP amyloidosis is associated with beta cell dysfunction. (2) Protein Misfolding and Aggregation Studies: IAPP is prone to misfolding and forming toxic oligomers, which are implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes and other amyloid-related diseases. The HeLa cell line expressing IAPP can serve as a model to study the molecular mechanisms of IAPP aggregation and to test potential therapeutic agents that prevent or reverse IAPP-induced toxicity. (3) Drug Development and Screening: The Human IAPP Stable Cell Line can be used for high-throughput screening of compounds that may modulate IAPP expression, secretion, or aggregation. This can lead to the identification of new drugs for the treatment of diabetes and related complications, such as cardiovascular diseases and neuropathy, which are often associated with long-term diabetes.
Customer Q&As
How does the Human IAPP Stable Cell Line - HeLa function in diabetes research?

A: The Human IAPP Stable Cell Line - HeLa, stably expressing human Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP), serves as an ideal model for studying the relationship between IAPP aggregation and β-cell damage in Type II diabetes. By utilizing this cell line, researchers can evaluate the impact of various factors on IAPP aggregation and its cytotoxic effects, offering new strategies for the prevention and treatment of diabetes.

What impact does overexpression of IAPP have on the apoptosis pathways in the Human IAPP Stable Cell Line - HeLa?

A: In the Human IAPP Stable Cell Line - HeLa, overexpression of IAPP may activate apoptosis pathways. IAPP aggregates can induce oxidative stress, disrupt calcium ion homeostasis, and activate endoplasmic reticulum stress responses, leading to cell apoptosis. Studying these processes helps understand the mechanisms of β-cell dysfunction in diabetes.

Can the Human IAPP Stable Cell Line - HeLa be used to screen compounds that reduce IAPP aggregation?

A: The Human IAPP Stable Cell Line - HeLa provides a unique tool for screening compounds that can reduce IAPP aggregation or mitigate its cytotoxic effects. By evaluating the impact of candidate compounds on IAPP expression, aggregation, and cell viability, potential diabetes treatment drugs can be identified.

How is the Human IAPP Stable Cell Line - HeLa applied in studying the relationship between IAPP and inflammatory responses?

A: The Human IAPP Stable Cell Line - HeLa can be used to study the relationship between IAPP aggregation and inflammatory responses. IAPP aggregates are known to activate innate immune responses, leading to the release of inflammatory factors. This cell line enables exploration of how IAPP influences the development and progression of diabetes through inflammatory pathways.

How does studying IAPP aggregation affect autophagy using the Human IAPP Stable Cell Line - HeLa?

A: The Human IAPP Stable Cell Line - HeLa can be utilized to study how IAPP aggregation affects the autophagy process. IAPP aggregates may interfere with the normal autophagy process, leading to cell dysfunction. This cell line helps reveal the specific interactions between IAPP aggregation and cell autophagy.
