High impact information on IAPP

 

Chemical compound and disease context of IAPP

  • In conclusion, it was observed that vitamin A enhanced the development of amyloid arthropathy and there were positive associations between amyloidosis, increased levels of serum amyloid A and increased numbers of tissue infiltrating macrophages [10].
 

Biological context of IAPP

  • Amyloid formation in vitro may also complicate production of proteins in the biotechnology industry [1].
  • Comparison of the amount of insoluble aggregate, the secondary structure, and fibrillogenicity has shown that the N-linked glycosylation could prevent amyloid fibril formation of amyloidogenic chicken cystatin secreted in yeast cells without affecting its inhibitory activities [11].
  • Analysis of differential gene expression supports a role for amyloid precursor protein and a protein kinase C substrate (MARCKS) in long-term memory [12].
  • Amino acid sequences containing the palindromic tripeptide RER, matching amino acids 328-330 of the amyloid precursor protein APP, when injected intracerebrally prior to or just after training, protect against memory loss induced by amyloid-beta (A beta) in a one-trial passive avoidance task in the young chick [5].
 

Anatomical context of IAPP

  • These findings indicate that a local increment in neuronal AChE concentration at the mammalian hippocampus, such as those present in amyloid deposits, may play a role in triggering neuropathological and behavioral changes such as those observed in AD brains [13].
  • Amyloid beta peptide is not a candidate for the neurotrophic activities released from chromaffin cells [14].
  • In the present study we have investigated the possibility that amyloid beta peptide (A beta P) generated from beta APP may have survival supporting effects for neurons from embryonic chick ciliary (CG) and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) [14].
  • Inflammatory and degenerative changes in the articular cartilage and adjoining tissues result in an increase of highly sulphated GAGs, which are considered to enhance deposition of SAA as amyloid [15].
  • Ultrastructurally, bundles of amyloid fibrils were seen in invaginations of synoviocytes and chondrocytes [15].
 

Associations of IAPP with chemical compounds

  • The sequence contained within the two polyadenylation sites used in the 3' untranslated region of the amyloid protein precursor mRNA was also able to increase the production of the chicken lysozyme or the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase, as demonstrated by in vivo translation of different chimeric mRNAs obtained by in vitro transcription [6].
  • The dissociation and reassociation processes of amyloid protofibrils initiated by pressure-jump have been monitored with real-time (1)H NMR spectroscopy using an intrinsically denatured disulfide-deficient variant of hen lysozyme [16].
  • 0. A red shift of the Congo red absorption spectrum caused by the precipitation of the fully reduced HEWL in the presence of 90% (v/v) ethanol is typical of the presence of amyloid aggregation [17].
  • Effects of sodium azide on the secretion of soluble amyloid-beta precursor protein and the accumulation of beta-amyloid(1-40) in cultured chick neurons [18].
  • Methylprednisolone had a more successful inhibitory effect on amyloid arthropathy than pentoxyfylline [10].
 

Other interactions of IAPP

  • Moreover, from the analysis of amyloid aggregation of the reduced lysozymes, it was suggested that the disruption of the residual structure in denatured state by W62G mutation deterred the formation of the amyloid fibrils of lysozyme [19].
