title: Receptor-dependent cell stress and amyloid accumulation in systemic amyloidosis.
abstract: Accumulation of fibrils composed of amyloid A in tissues resulting in displacement of normal structures and cellular dysfunction is the characteristic feature of systemic amyloidoses. Here we show that RAGE, a multiligand immunoglobulin superfamily cell surface molecule, is a receptor for the amyloidogenic form of serum amyloid A. Interactions between RAGE and amyloid A induced cellular perturbation. In a mouse model, amyloid A accumulation, evidence of cell stress and expression of RAGE were closely linked. Antagonizing RAGE suppressed cell stress and amyloid deposition in mouse spleens. These data indicate that RAGE is a potential target for inhibiting accumulation of amyloid A and for limiting cellular dysfunction induced by amyloid A.
