Oxidative stress and amyloidosis.

چکیده
From recent findings concerning free radical injury in several types of amyloidosis, it appears that free radical injury is involved either amyloid formation or in post-fibrillar modification. As we show in this review, among the more than 20 different types of amyloidosis, only a few types of amyloidosis present direct evidence of free radical involvement in amyloid formation. However, if we search further for other types of amyloidosis, other important information on free radical injury may be forthcoming. Free radical injury is probably central for the toxic properties of amyloid deposits.

Breast cancer and amyloid bodies: is there a role for amyloidosis in cancer-cell dormancy?
Breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are major causes of death in older women. Interestingly, breast cancer occurs less frequently in AD patients than in the general population. Amyloidosis, the aggregation of amyloid proteins to form amyloid bodies, plays a central role in the pathogenesis of AD and other human neuropathies by forming intracellular fibrillary proteins. Contrary to popula...
متن کاملAluminum modulates brain amyloidosis through oxidative stress in APP transgenic mice.
Epidemiological studies have implicated aluminum (Al) exposure in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, other studies have failed to confirm these results. Oxidative stress is a feature of AD, and Al can exacerbate oxidative events. This biological property has been suggested as a possible mechanism by which this metal could influence the onset and/or evolution of the disease. ...
متن کاملHuntington's Disease Induced Cardiac Amyloidosis Is Reversed by Modulating Protein Folding and Oxidative Stress Pathways in the Drosophila Heart
Amyloid-like inclusions have been associated with Huntington's disease (HD), which is caused by expanded polyglutamine repeats in the Huntingtin protein. HD patients exhibit a high incidence of cardiovascular events, presumably as a result of accumulation of toxic amyloid-like inclusions. We have generated a Drosophila model of cardiac amyloidosis that exhibits accumulation of PolyQ aggregates ...
متن کاملCaloric restriction reduces the systemic progression of mouse AApoAII amyloidosis
In mouse senile amyloidosis, apolipoprotein (Apo) A-II is deposited extracellularly in many organs in the form of amyloid fibrils (AApoAII). Reduction of caloric intake, known as caloric restriction (CR), slows the progress of senescence and age-related disorders in mice. In this study, we intravenously injected 1 μg of isolated AApoAII fibrils into R1.P1-Apoa2c mice to induce experimental amyl...
متن کاملInduced Pluripotent Stem Cell Modeling of Multisystemic, Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis
Familial transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is an autosomal-dominant protein-folding disorder caused by over 100 distinct mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene. In ATTR, protein secreted from the liver aggregates and forms fibrils in target organs, chiefly the heart and peripheral nervous system, highlighting the need for a model capable of recapitulating the multisystem complexity of this cl...
