| PubMed Abstract | Amyloidogenic transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis is a systemic disease characterized by the deposition of amyloid fibrils made of transthyretin. Transthyretin is primarily produced in tetrameric form ...Amyloidogenic transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis is a systemic disease characterized by the deposition of amyloid fibrils made of transthyretin. Transthyretin is primarily produced in tetrameric form by the liver, but also by retinal epithelium and choroid plexus. The deposition of these fibrils in the myocardium and peripheral nerves causes cardiomyopathies and neuropathies, respectively. Using cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM), we investigated fibrils extracted from cardiac and nerve tissues of an ATTRv-V30M patient. We found consistent fibril structures from both tissues, similar to cardiac fibrils previously described, but different from vitreous humor fibrils of the same genotype. Our findings, along with previous ATTR fibrils structural studies, suggest a uniform fibrillar architecture across different tissues when transthyretin originates from the liver. This study advances our understanding of how deposition and production sites influence fibril structure in ATTRv-V30M amyloidosis. |
