The acute phase protein serum amyloid A primes neutrophils [PDF]
We studied here the effect of the acute phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA) on the oxidative burst of neutrophils. Incubation of neutrophils with SAA increased the rate of oxygen uptake and the production of reactive oxygen species of neutrophils activated with opsonized zymosan (OZ). The increment in the neutrophil oxidative burst was dependent on SAA

Dysregulation of Na+/K+ ATPase by amyloid in APP+PS1 transgenic mice [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is comprised of extracellular amyloid plaques, intracellular tau tangles, dystrophic neurites and neurodegeneration. The mechanisms by which these various pathological features arise are under intense

Serum Amyloid A proteins reduce bone mass during mycobacterial infections
AbstractOsteopenia has been associated to several inflammatory conditions, including mycobacterial infections. How mycobacteria cause bone loss remains elusive, but direct bone infection may not be required. Using genetically engineered mice and morphometric, transcriptomic and functional analyses, we found that infection withMycobacterium aviumimpacts

Amyloid-β acts as a regulator of neurotransmitter release disrupting the interaction between synaptophysin and VAMP2. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: It is becoming increasingly evident that deficits in the cortex and hippocampus at early stages of dementia in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are associated with synaptic damage caused by oligomers of the toxic amyloid-β peptide (Aβ42).

Usefulness of Measuring Serum Amyloid A Concentration in Japanese Black Cattle in Clinical Practice
This study investigated the concentration of serum amyloid A (SAA), an acute phase protein, in Japanese Black cattle. Four practical trials were performed to evaluate the transition of SAA and sialic acid before and after dehorning, the relationship ...

Herpes simplex virus interferes with amyloid precursor protein processing [PDF]
Background The early events underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) remain uncertain, although environmental factors may be involved. Work in this laboratory has shown that the combination of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) in brain and carriage of the
