Changes in Acute-Phase Proteins in Plasma during the Periparturient Period of Dairy Goats [PDF]

Veterinary Sciences, 2021
The present study was conducted regarding four acute-phase proteins (APPs) including C-reactive protein (CRP), ceruloplasmin (CP), serum amyloid A (SAA), and haptoglobin (HP) in dairy goats during the periparturient period.

Plasmin activity promotes amyloid deposition in a transgenic model of human transthyretin amyloidosis

Nature Communications, 2021
ATTR amyloidosis causes heart failure through the accumulation of misfolded transthyretin in cardiac muscle. Here the authors report a mouse model of ATTR amyloidosis and demonstrate the involvement of protease activity in ATTR amyloid deposition.

Clinical Amyloid Typing by Proteomics: Performance Evaluation and Data Sharing between Two Centres

Molecules, 2021
Amyloidosis is a relatively rare human disease caused by the deposition of abnormal protein fibres in the extracellular space of various tissues, impairing their normal function. Proteomic analysis of patients’ biopsies, developed by Dogan and colleagues

Amyloid Formation by Globular Proteins: The Need to Narrow the Gap Between in Vitro and in Vivo Mechanisms

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
The globular to fibrillar transition of proteins represents a key pathogenic event in the development of amyloid diseases. Although systemic amyloidoses share the common characteristic of amyloid deposition in the extracellular matrix, they are ...

Calcium Binds to Transthyretin with Low Affinity

Biomolecules, 2022
The plasma protein transthyretin (TTR), a transporter for thyroid hormones and retinol in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, is responsible for the second most common type of systemic (ATTR) amyloidosis either in its wild type form or as a result of ...

Disease progression in cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis is indicated by serial calculation of National Amyloidosis Centre transthyretin amyloidosis stage

ESC Heart Failure, 2020
Aims Cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR‐CM) is a progressive and fatal condition. Prognosis can be determined at diagnosis according to the National Amyloidosis Centre (NAC) transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) stage.

A prospective study of nutritional status in immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis

Haematologica, 2013
Weight loss is common in systemic immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis but there are limited data on the impact of nutritional status on outcome.

Analysis of Cardiac Amyloidosis Progression Using Model-Based Markers

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Deposition of amyloid in the heart can lead to cardiac dilation and impair its pumping ability. This ultimately leads to heart failure with worsening symptoms of breathlessness and fatigue due to the progressive loss of elasticity of the myocardium ...

Clinical profile and treatment outcome of older (>75 years) patients with systemic AL amyloidosis

Haematologica, 2015
Systemic AL amyloidosis, a disease with improving outcomes using novel therapies, is increasingly recognized in the elderly but treatment and outcomes have not been systematically studied in this group of patients in whom comorbidities and frailty may ...

Association of the transthyretin variant V122I with polyneuropathy among individuals of African ancestry

Scientific Reports, 2021
Hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis is an underdiagnosed, progressively debilitating disease caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene.
