Generation of amyloid A protein by the cell lines from amyloid-susceptible and -resistant mice.

It has been proposed that impaired degradation is the cause of amyloid A (AA) formation in reactive amyloidosis (Ham et al., Scand J Immunol 1997; 45: 354-60). The current SDS-PAGE of the culture medium showed that the macrophage cell line from the amyloid-susceptible mouse strain (ANA1) degraded amyloid precursor protein serum amyloid A into the AA-like amyloidogenic product of approximately 8.6 kDa but went no further, whereas cells from the resistant strain (A/J10) cleared the AA-like derivates proceeding to approximately 7.7 kDa products within the incubation period. Degradation occurred in the chemically defined medium at a slower rate than in the medium with serum. This may imply that a lack of the serum components as well as impaired degradation could contribute to the development of amyloidosis.[1]
