摘要
人胰岛淀粉样多肽(hIAPP)是导致胰岛β细胞死亡的重要因素,然而在分子水平上hIAPP破坏细胞膜的机制目前尚不明确。我们将应用粗粒化的耗散粒子动力学(DPD)方法模拟磷脂双层膜与α-螺旋结构的hIAPP分子之间的相互作用、探究hIAPP破坏细胞膜的机制。研究结果表明水通道的形成是肽的疏水作用引起的膜表面张力增大和磷脂混乱以及由hIAPP所带电荷引起的电穿孔共同作用的结果。根据该机制,我们推测四苯乙烯的一种衍生物BSPOTPE是保护细胞免受hIAPP毒性破坏的有效抗体。通过模拟我们发现,BSPOTPE分子可以通过疏水吸引和静电吸引作用直接吸附hIAPP螺旋区域的残基,形成疏水内核和亲水外壳明确分离的胶束状的hIAPP-BSPOTPE寡聚体团簇,该团簇通常会保持在膜/水界面而不会插入膜内,降低了hIAPP对膜的吸附程度;BSPOTPE所带负电荷中和了hIAPP所带的正电,阻止了电穿孔作用。通过上述两种方式BSPOTPE可以高效的抑制hIAPP破坏细胞膜。
Human islet amyloid polypeptide(hIAPP) is believed to be responsible for the death of insulin-producing β-cells. However, the mechanism of membrane damage at the molecular level has not been fully elucidated. We employ coarse-grained dissipative particle dynamics simulations to study the interactions between a lipid membrane and hIAPPs with α-helical structures. We demonstrated that the key factor controlling pore formation is the combination of peptide charge-induced electroporation and peptide hydrophobicity-induced lipid disordering and membrane thinning. According to these mechanisms, we suggest that a water-miscible tetraphenylethene BSPOTPE is a potent inhibitor to rescue hIAPP-induced cytotoxicity. Our simulations predict that BSPOTPE molecules can bind directly to the helical regions of hIAPP and form oligomers with separated hydrophobic cores and hydrophilic shells. The micelle-like hIAPP-BSPOTPE clusters tend to be retained in the water/membrane interface and aggregate therein rather than penetrate into the membrane. Electrostatic attraction between BSPOTPE and hIAPP also reduces the extent of hIAPP binding to the anionic lipid bilayer. These two modes work together and efficiently prevent membrane poration.
