Recent articles have reported an association between fatty liver disease and systemic insulin resistance in humans, but the causal relationship remains unclear. The liver may contribute to muscle insulin resistance by releasing secretory proteins called hepatokines. Here we demonstrate that leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2), an energy-sensing hepatokine, is a link between obesity and ...
The functions of leukocyte-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2), a novel liver-specific protein, are not well defined, especially after hepatic injury. The changes in expression of LECT2 mRNA were investigated after concanavalin A (Con A)-induced hepatic injury in mice. Serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (s-GPT) activity and the percentage of liver DNA fragmentation, an indicator of hepatic apoptosi...
Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) is a secreted pleiotropic protein that is mainly produced by the liver. We have previously shown that LECT2 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory liver diseases. Lipopolysaccharide/d-galactosamine (LPS/d-GalN)-induced acute liver injury is a known animal model of fulminant hepatic failure. Here we found that this hepatic injury w...
Leukocyte chemotactic factor-2 (LECT2) amyloidosis has been described as being associated with kidney disease; however, no clinical manifestations outside of the kidney have been previously reported. We describe a patient presenting with pulmonary-renal syndrome found to have deposition of amyloidogenic LECT2 (ALECT2) within both the lung and the kidney. This case is unique in regard to both th...
Mixed leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 and amyloid A renal amyloidosis in a Kazakh-German patient
Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2)-related amyloidosis (ALECT2) constitutes a subtype of systemic amyloidosis affecting the kidney. This is the first case describing mixed ALECT2 and Amyloid A renal amyloidosis in a Kazakh-German patient. Genetic analysis shows a polymorphism in the LECT2 gene and a homozygous mutation in the SAA1 gene. Notably, our patient has a body mass index of 61 ...
Leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 (LECT2) amyloidosis is one of the most recently described types of amyloidosis. Since its description, it has been found to be one the most common types of amyloidosis in large series of amyloid cases involving the kidney and liver in the United States, where it primarily affects patients of Hispanic ethnicity. We sought to investigate the prevalence of this disea...
Introduction. Let C be a (smooth, projective, absolutely irreducible) curve of genus g > 2 over a number field K. Faltings [Fa1, Fa2] proved that the set C(K) of K-rational points of C is finite, as conjectured by Mordell. The proof can even yield an effective upper bound on the size #C(K) of this set (though not, in general, a provably complete list of points); but this bound depends on the ar...
• Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin-2–associated amyloidosis (ALect2) is a common cause of systemic amyloidosis involving the liver. • Recognition and accurate diagnosis of hepatic ALect2 amyloidosis is essential for accurate management of patients with hepatic amyloidosis. Using laser microdissection and mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics, we subtyped amyloid deposits from 130 cases of he...
Amyloidosis is a disorder characterized by the deposition of abnormal protein fibrils in tissues. Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2-associated amyloidosis is a recently recognized entity and is characterized by a distinctive clinicopathologic type of amyloid deposition manifested in adults by varying degrees of impaired kidney function and proteinuria. There are only a limited number of cases...
