Light Chain Stabilization: A Therapeutic Approach to Ameliorate AL Amyloidosis

Hemato, 2021
Non-native immunoglobulin light chain conformations, including aggregates, appear to cause light chain amyloidosis pathology. Despite significant progress in pharmacological eradication of the neoplastic plasma cells that secrete these light chains, in ...

Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum and Light-Chain Amyloidosis [PDF]

European Journal of Inflammation, 2012
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is a heritable disorder of connective tissue characterized by cutaneous, vascular and ocular changes that result from the accumulation of fragmented elastic fibres. Even though the etiopathogenesis is not still completely understood, in recent years in literature some Authors have considered pseudoxanthoma elasticum as a ...

?2-Microglobulin Amyloid Fibril-Induced Membrane Disruption Is Enhanced by Endosomal Lipids and Acidic pH [PDF]

, 2014
Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathology of amyloidoses are not well understood, the interaction between amyloid proteins and cell membranes is thought to play a role in several amyloid diseases. Amyloid fibrils of ?2-microglobulin (?2m)

Concurrent nephrotic syndrome and acute renal failure caused by chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): a case report and literature review [PDF]

, 2011
Kidney injury associated with lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is typically caused by direct tumor infiltration which occasionally results in acute renal failure. Glomerular involvement presenting as proteinuria or even nephrotic syndrome is exceptionally rare.

Biomarkers in Immunoglobulin Light Chain Amyloidosis

Klinicka Onkologie, 2017
Immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis - ALA) is a monoclonal gammopathy characterized by presence of aberrant plasma cells producing amyloidogenic immunoglobulin light chains. This leads to formation of amyloid fibrils in various organs and tissues, mainly in heart and kidney, and causes their dysfunction.

Misdiagnosis of hereditary amyloidosis as AL (Primary) amyloidosis [PDF]

, 2002
Background: Hereditary, autosomal dominant amyloidosis, caused by mutations in the genes encoding transthyretin, fibrinogen A -chain, lysozyme, or apolipoprotein A-I, is thought to be extremely rare and is not routinely included in the differential ...
