Fecal transmission of AA amyloidosis in the cheetah contributes to high incidence of disease.
AA amyloidosis is one of the principal causes of morbidity and mortality in captive cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus), which are in danger of extinction, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Given the transmissible characteristics of AA amyloidosis, transmission between captive cheetahs may be a possible mechanism involved in the high incidence of AA amyloidosis. In this study of anim...
متن کاملPathogenetic mechanisms of amyloid A amyloidosis.
Systemic amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is a serious complication of chronic inflammation. Serum AA protein (SAA), an acute phase plasma protein, is deposited extracellularly as insoluble amyloid fibrils that damage tissue structure and function. Clinical AA amyloidosis is typically preceded by many years of active inflammation before presenting, most commonly with renal involvement. Using dose-dep...
متن کاملFMF Genotype-phenotype correlation in Iranian Azeri Turks: Association between M694V/R761H mutation and amyloidosis
Objective(s):Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), an inherited autosomal recessive disorder, is frequently present among individuals of Mediterranean origin. Differences in the clinical manifestations of FMF between different ethnic groups have been documented. The aim of the present study was to determine the most common characteristics of FMF and the relationship between clinical findings and ...
متن کاملVariation of amino acid sequences of serum amyloid a (SAA) and immunohistochemical analysis of amyloid a (AA) in Japanese domestic cats
Amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis, a fatal systemic amyloid disease, occurs secondary to chronic inflammatory conditions in humans. Although persistently elevated serum amyloid A (SAA) levels are required for its pathogenesis, not all individuals with chronic inflammation necessarily develop AA amyloidosis. Furthermore, many diseases in cats are associated with the elevated production of SAA, whereas ...
متن کاملCausal or Causal Relationship Between Oral Diseases and Systemic Amyloidosis – From Inflammation to Amyloidosis – A Trouble Connection
Although recent decades have provided significant advances in our understanding of the pathology and pathogenesis of AA amyloidosis, the mechanism and etiopathological factors promoting amyloidosis are largely unknown (Elimowa et al., 2009). Its pathogenesis is multifactorial, involving many variables such as primary structure of the precursor protein, acute-phase response, the presence of non-...
