Influence 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...

متن کاملCharacterization of the Response of Primary Cells Relevant to Dialysis-Related Amyloidosis to β2-Microglobulin Monomer and Fibrils
The formation of insoluble amyloid fibrils is associated with an array of devastating human diseases. Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) is a severe complication of hemodialysis that results in the progressive destruction of the bones and joints. Elevated concentrations of β(2)-microglobulin (β(2)m) in the serum of subjects on hemodialysis promote the formation of amyloid fibrils in the osteoar...
