AA amyloid fibrils from diseased tissue are structurally different from in vitro formed SAA fibrils

Nature Communications, 2021
Systemic AA amyloidosis is a protein misfolding disease caused by the formation of amyloid fibrils from serum amyloid A (SAA) protein. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structures of AA amyloid fibrils isolated from mouse tissue and in vitro formed ...

Evaluation of the relationship between serum calprotectin and serum amyloid A with musculoskeletal ultrasonographic findings in rheumatoid arthritis patients [PDF]

Exploration of Immunology
Aim: To evaluate the relationship between serum calprotectin and serum amyloid A with musculoskeletal ultrasonographic findings in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, as RA is the most common chronic inflammatory joint disease in which the infiltration ...

Validation of an automated immunoturbidimetric assay for feline serum amyloid A

BMC Veterinary Research, 2022
Background Serum Amyloid A (SAA) is a major acute phase protein in cats, increasing rapidly in response to various inflammatory diseases. An automated latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay for human SAA (LZ-SAA, Eiken), previously validated for use in

Assessment of automated assays for serum amyloid A, haptoglobin (PIT54) and basic biochemistry in broiler breeders experimentally infected with Escherichia coli

Veterinary Research, 2022
Biomarkers of inflammation are valuable tools for health status evaluation in numerous species. However, in poultry, methods for measuring acute phase proteins (APP) are sparse and rely on manual laboratory labour reserving these parameters mainly for ...

Serum Amyloid A as a Promising Biomarker in Domestic Animals’ Reproduction: Current Knowledge and Future Perspective

Animals, 2022
The investigation of acute phase proteins in veterinary medicine has opened the doors towards the identification and use of new markers for a timely assessment of health status in both companion and food-producing animals.

Serum Amyloid A proteins take retinol for a ride [PDF]

Trends in Immunology, 2014
Vitamin A plays pleiotropic roles in the immune system. A recent eLife paper by Hooper and colleagues shows that hepatic and intestinal serum amyloid A proteins, which are induced in response to infection, can transport vitamin A metabolites to tissues and thus impact immune responses both locally and systemically.

Serum Amyloid A Binding to CLA-1 (CD36 and LIMPII Analogous-1) Mediates Serum Amyloid A Protein-induced Activation of ERK1/2 and p38 Mitogen-activated Protein Kinases*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
Serum amyloid A protein (SAA) is an acute-phase reactant, known to mediate pro-inflammatory cellular responses. This study reports that CLA-1 (CD36 and LIMPII Analogous-1; human orthologue of the Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I (SR-BI)) mediates SAA ...

S100A12 suppresses pro-inflammatory, but not pro-thrombotic functions of serum amyloid A. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
S100A12 is elevated in the circulation in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases and recent studies indicate pleiotropic functions. Serum amyloid A induces monocyte cytokines and tissue factor.
