In vitro co-expression of human amyloidogenic immunoglobulin light and heavy chain proteins: a relevant cell-based model of AL amyloidosis
Open accessAbstract
Immunoglobulin (Ig) light chain (LC) amyloidosis (AL) is characterized by the overproduction and tissue deposition of monoclonal LC in various organs and tissues. The plasma circulating monoclonal LC is believed to be the precursor of the deposited protein and in vitro studies aimed at understanding AL pathobiology have mainly focused on LC and its variable domain. While 33% of patients have free circulating monoclonal LC, ∼40% feature LC complexed to heavy chain (HC) forming a monoclonal intact Ig; the significance of free vs. bound LC in the amyloid forming pathway is unknown. To address this issue, we developed a cell-based model using stable mouse plasmacytoma Sp2/0 cells that co-express patient-derived amyloidogenic LC and HC proteins. The system was designed using amyloidogenic kappa and lambda LC, and gamma HC sequences; stable production and secretion of either free LC and/or intact Ig were accomplished by varying the LC to HC ratios. This novel cell-based system provides a relevant tool to systematically investigate LC and HC interactions, and the molecular events leading to the development of AL amyloidosis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
