Interaction of soluble and amyloid form of serum amyloid a protein to BC3H1 cells

T
he BC3H1 smooth muscle cells of mice brain, the study was carried out membrane binding. Th is is important in relation
to the activity of membrane proteins because losing the activity of such systems will ultimately lead to malfunction or
death of the cell. Th e interactions of Serum Amyloid A (SAA) and Serum Amyloid A protofi brils with BC3H1 cells of the
mouse are dealt with in detail to study the binding of SAA protofi brils in various conditions. Th e FACScan and MTT assay
results have shown the SAA and SAA fi brils binding and cell toxicity with the BC3H1 cells with diff erent concentrations of
Serum amyloid P component and Amyloid enhancing factor. Specifi cally, cells were incubated with 1.25-6.25 μM SAA-FITC
and SAA protofi brils-FITC assayed. Th e 50% viable BC3H1 cells at 4-6 μM with an LD50 of 3.5 μM. Th e interaction of serum
amyloid A fi brils with a cell surface binding site/receptor might alter the local environment to cause cellular dysfunction and
to be more favorable for amyloid formation. Th e RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation endproducts) a polyvalent receptor
in the immunoglobulin super family has been implicated in binding with the isoform of SAA (SAA1.1) which has the highest
fi birillogenic property. Th e present study concludes the SAA fi brils more binding and cell cytotoxicity than SAA protein.
