Transthyretin variant in Thai people is likely to associate with pathogenesis
Keywords:
Transthyretin, variant, amyloid fibril, cytotoxicityAbstract
In this research, we study a tendency to pathogenesis of a transthyretin variant (TTR variant) which was identified in Thai people. The cDNA of TTR variant was constructed from the cDNA of human TTR wild type (TTR WT) by Site-Directed Mutagenesis following by ligation into pPIC 3.5 expression vector and transformation into Pichia pastoris. The recombinant TTR variant was successfully synthesized by Pichia, and it was purified by preparative native-PAGE. In the comparison, TTR variant migrated on a non-denatured polyacrylamide gel faster than albumin in human plasma. Its molecular mass analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was approximately 17 kilodaltons. The ability to form fibril of TTR variant was investigated by Thioflavin T assay, and it showed that TTR variant definitely formed fibril under the physiological condition faster than L55P and TTR WT, indicating low stability of tetrameric structure of TTR variant. Cytotoxicity of the variant to human neuroblastoma cells (LAN-5) determined by MTT assay showed that TTR variant had higher toxicity than L55P. The results demonstrated a potential pathogenesis of the studied TTR variant.
