A novel role for β2-microglobulin: a precursor of antibacterial chemokine in respiratory epithelial cells
We analyzed a panel of cationic molecules secreted in the culture medium of human respiratory epithelial cells (REC) upon activation by IL-1β and different pathogen-associated molecular patterns. A 9 kDa fragment derived from β2-microglobulin (B2M) was identified and named shed 9 kDa B2M (sB2M-9). The primary structure of sB2M-9 was revealed to increase its pI value that potentially could play ...
متن کاملAmniotic Fluid β2- Microglobulin Measurements
OBJECTIVE: To determine β2-microglobulin levels in amniotic fluid during the course of second trimester. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred patient’s amniotic fluid β2-microglobulin levels had been evaluated retrospectively (March-October 2009). The most common amniocentesis indication was advanced maternal age (33.3%). Others were; high risk result for triple test (18.5%), high risk result for double t...
متن کاملIntermolecular Alignment in β2-Microglobulin Amyloid Fibrils
The deposition of amyloid-like fibrils, composed primarily of the 99-residue protein β2-microglobulin (β2m), is one of the characteristic symptoms of dialysis-related amyloidosis. Fibrils formed in vitro at low pH and low salt concentration share many properties with the disease related fibrils and have been extensively studied by a number of biochemical and biophysical methods. These fibrils c...
متن کاملInfluence of heparin molecular size on the induction of C-terminal unfolding in β2-microglobulin
Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) is characterized by accumulation of amyloid β2-microglobulin (β2m) in the interstitial matrix. Matrix substances such as heparin have reportedly been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of dialysis-related amyloidosis. In clinical setting of hemodialysis, two types of heparin, i.e., high and low molecular heparin (H.M.H. and L.M.H.) have been routinely use...
متن کاملSystemic Amyloidosis: Lessons from β2-Microglobulin*
β2-Microglobulin is responsible for systemic amyloidosis affecting patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis. Its genetic variant D76N causes a very rare form of familial systemic amyloidosis. These two types of amyloidoses differ significantly in terms of the tissue localization of deposits and for major pathological features. Considering how the amyloidogenesis of the β2-microglobulin mechan...
