Reconstitution of Amyloid Fibrils from Alkaline Extracts
Solubilization and reconstitution is one of the key steps in the purification of fibrous proteins and in the clarification of certain of their physical properties. Since the description of amyloid as a fibrous protein (1-3), several preliminary studies in this direction have been reported for the amyloid fibril. Newcombe and Cohen (4) studied the effect of pH changes on solubility of amyloid an...
متن کاملCurcumin inhibits formation of amyloid beta oligomers and fibrils, binds plaques, and reduces amyloid in vivo.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves amyloid beta (Abeta) accumulation, oxidative damage, and inflammation, and risk is reduced with increased antioxidant and anti-inflammatory consumption. The phenolic yellow curry pigment curcumin has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities and can suppress oxidative damage, inflammation, cognitive deficits, and amyloid accumulation. Since the molecu...
متن کاملPreclinical Validation of the Heparin-Reactive Peptide p5+14 as a Molecular Imaging Agent for Visceral Amyloidosis
Amyloid is a complex pathologic matrix comprised principally of paracrystalline protein fibrils and heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Systemic amyloid diseases are rare, thus, routine diagnosis is often challenging. The glycosaminoglycans ubiquitously present in amyloid deposits are biochemically and electrochemically distinct from those found in the healthy tissues due to the high degree of sulfa...
متن کاملGlycosaminoglycans of the hemodialysis-associated carpal synovial amyloid and of amyloid-rich tissues and fibrils of heart, liver, and spleen.
Significant amounts of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) were found in amyloid fibril preparations. Using two-dimensional electrophoresis to fractionate GAG mixtures, we quantified and identified for the first time the GAGs of the fibrils from carpal synovium of patients with amyloid associated with chronic hemodialysis. The total GAG content was small, but the GAG distribution (high relative content o...
متن کاملEffects of ingestion of collagen peptide on collagen fibrils and glycosaminoglycans in the dermis.
In order to investigate the effects of collagen peptide ingestion on fibroblasts and the extracellular matrix in the dermis, collagen peptide was administered orally to pigs at 0.2 g/kg body weight/d for 62 d, and its effects were compared with those of lactalbumin and water controls. Fibroblast density, and diameter and density of collagen fibrils were significantly larger in the collagen pept...
