beta 2-Microglobulin modified with advanced glycation end products is a major component of hemodialysis-associated amyloidosis.
Open accessAbstract
beta 2-Microglobulin (beta 2M) is a major constituent of amyloid fibrils in hemodialysis-associated amyloidosis, a complication of long-term hemodialysis patients. Amyloid fibril proteins were isolated from connective tissues forming carpal tunnels in hemodialysis patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blotting demonstrated that most of the beta 2M forming amyloid fibrils exhibited a more acidic pI value than normal beta 2M. This acidic beta 2M was also found in a small fraction of beta 2M in sera and urine from these patients, whereas heterogeneity was not observed in healthy individuals. We purified acidic and normal beta 2M from the urine of long-term hemodialysis patients and compared their physicochemical and immunochemical properties. Acidic beta 2M, but not normal beta 2M, was brown in color and fluoresced, both of which are characteristics of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) of the Maillard reaction. Immunochemical studies showed that acidic beta 2M reacted with anti-AGE antibody and also with an antibody against an Amadori product, an early product of the Maillard reaction, but normal beta 2M did not react with either antibody. Incubating normal beta 2M with glucose in vitro resulted in a shift to a more acidic pI, generation of fluorescence, and immunoreactivity to the anti-AGE antibody. The beta 2M forming amyloid fibrils also reacted with anti-AGE antibody. These data provided evidence that AGE-modified beta 2M is a dominant constituent of the amyloid deposits in hemodialysis-associated 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.
