Popis: |
Amyloidosis refers to a group of degenerative diseases that are characterized by the deposition of misfolded protein fibrils in various organs. Deposited amyloid may be removed by a phagocyte-dependent innate immune system; however, the precise mechanisms during disease progression remain unclear. We herein investigated the properties of macrophages that contribute to amyloid degradation and disease progression using inducible apolipoprotein A-II amyloidosis model mice. Intravenously injected AApoAII amyloid was efficiently engulfed by reticuloendothelial macrophages in the liver and spleen and disappeared by 24 h. While cultured murine macrophages degraded AApoAII |
