Abstract
Background: In ATTR amyloidosis, transthyretin (TTR) protein is secreted from the liver and deposited as toxic aggregates at downstream target tissues. Despite recent advancements in treatments for ATTR amyloidosis, the mechanisms underlying misfolded TTR-mediated cellular damage remain elusive.
Methods: In an effort to define early events of TTR-associated stress, we exposed neuronal (SH-SY5Y) and cardiac (AC16) cells to wild-type and destabilized TTR variants (TTRV122I (p.V142I) and TTRL55P (p.L70P)) and performed transcriptional (RNAseq) and epigenetic (ATACseq) profiling. We subsequently compared TTR-responsive signatures to cells exposed to destabilized antibody light chain protein associated with AL amyloidosis as well as ER stressors (thapsigargin, heat shock).
Results: In doing so, we observed overlapping, yet distinct cell type- and amyloidogenic protein-specific signatures, suggesting unique responses to each amyloidogenic variant. Moreover, we identified chromatin level changes in AC16 cells exposed to mutant TTR that resolved upon pre-incubation with kinetic stabilizer tafamidis.
Conclusions: Collectively, these data provide insight into the mechanisms underlying destabilized protein-mediated cellular damage and provide a robust resource representing cellular responses to aggregation-prone proteins and ER stress.
期刊介绍:
Amyloid: the Journal of Protein Folding Disorders is dedicated to the study of all aspects of the protein groups and associated disorders that are classified as the amyloidoses as well as other disorders associated with abnormal protein folding. The journals major focus points are:
etiology,
pathogenesis,
histopathology,
chemical structure,
nature of fibrillogenesis;
whilst also publishing papers on the basic and chemical genetic aspects of many of these disorders.
Amyloid is recognised as one of the leading publications on amyloid protein classifications and the associated disorders, as well as clinical studies on all aspects of amyloid related neurodegenerative diseases and major clinical studies on inherited amyloidosis, especially those related to transthyretin. The Journal also publishes book reviews, meeting reports, editorials, thesis abstracts, review articles and symposia in the various areas listed above.
