Amyloid, advanced glycation end products, and dialysis related arthropathy.
Dialysis associated arthropathy (DRA) is a syndrome peculiar to long term dialysis patients. It includes large and small joint symptoms, pathological fractures through bony cysts and an axial spondyloarthropathy, and is closely associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. It is characterised by deposition of â2 microglobulin (â2M) as an amyloid protein. This was first linked to the osteoarticular sy...
متن کاملAdvanced glycation end products contribute to amyloidosis in Alzheimer disease.
Alzheimer disease (AD) is characterized by deposits of an aggregated 42-amino-acid beta-amyloid peptide (beta AP) in the brain and cerebrovasculature. After a concentration-dependent lag period during in vitro incubations, soluble preparations of synthetic beta AP slowly form fibrillar aggregates that resemble natural amyloid and are measurable by sedimentation and thioflavin T-based fluorescen...
متن کاملReceptor for advanced glycation end products on human synovial fibroblasts: role in the pathogenesis of dialysis-related amyloidosis.
An important component of amyloid fibrils in dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) is beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)m) modified with advanced glycation end products (AGE). The amyloid deposits are located principally in joint structures, with adjacent chronic inflammatory reaction characterized by monocyte infiltration. This study examined the interaction of AGE-beta(2)m with human synovial fibrob...
متن کاملAdvanced glycation end products
Aging is the progressive accumulation of damage to an organism over time leading to disease and death. Aging research has been very intensive in the last years aiming at characterizing the pathophysiology of aging and finding possibilities to fight age-related diseases. Various theories of aging have been proposed. In the last years advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have received particula...
متن کاملbeta 2-Microglobulin modified with advanced glycation end products is a major component of hemodialysis-associated amyloidosis.
beta 2-Microglobulin (beta 2M) is a major constituent of amyloid fibrils in hemodialysis-associated amyloidosis, a complication of long-term hemodialysis patients. Amyloid fibril proteins were isolated from connective tissues forming carpal tunnels in hemodialysis patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blotting demonstrated that most...
