Evidence for intracellular amyloid formation in myeloma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evidence for intracellular formation of amyloid fibrils in a patient with kappa light-chain myeloma is described. Amyloid fibrils were seen as intracytoplasmic inclusions within plasma cells, histiocytes, renal tubule cells, and possibly in hepatocytes. Extracellular amyloid was also present. The electron microscopic studies suggest that amyloid fibrils may form in the Golgi apparatus and within lysosomes.

PRIMARY LOCALIZED RETROPERITONEAL AMYLOID TUMOR WITH OSSEOUS META PLASIA: CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Amyloidoma or amyloid tumor is a tumor-like localized deposit of amyloid encountered occasionally in association with multiple myeloma, various chronic inflammatory diseases and primary amyloidosis. Amyloid tumors unassociated with plasmacytoma or other disease are extremely rare in soft tissues and few cases in various situations have been reported. Histologic examination discloses amorp...
متن کاملDoes Long-Term Administration of a Beta-Blocker (Timolol) Induce Fibril-Based Cataract Formation In-vivo?
Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist administered for treating glaucoma, heart attacks and hypertension. In the present study, we set out to determine whether or not timolol can provoke cataract formation, thus the influence of timolol on the amyloid-type aggregation of crystallin was investigated. We then provided experimental evidence of crystallin aggregation and it...

متن کاملAlterations in Serum Globulins during T H E Formation and Resorption of Amyloid in Rabbits* by Goetz
For example, it has been found that the serum protein patterns of patients suffering from amyloidosis are often abnormal (1-4), that abnormal serum globulins and amyloid may both be present in patients with multiple myeloma (5-7), and that the incidence of amyloidosis is high in hyperlmmunized horses (8). Yet no single abnormality of the blood proteins has thus far been clearly related to amylo...

Background: Our previous findings indicated that carvacrol and thymol alleviate cognitive impairments caused by Aβ in rodent models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, the neuroprotective effects of carvacrol and thymol against Aβ25-35-induced cytotoxicity were evaluated, and the potential mechanisms were determined. Methods: PC12 cells were pretreated with Aβ25-35 for 2 h, followed by ...
