Abstract:
Objective To investigate whether there is amyloid fibers in the mature neutrophils and to reveal the molecular mechanism of the formation of AD amyloidosis. Method Thirty cases of AD patients and 30 healthy control were enrolled. The white blood cell, the red blood cell,hemoglobin and neutrophil absolute value were determined by Sysmex X5-500i hematology analyzer. The neutrophils and amyloid variable specific probe affinity were measured, The starch like variable fluorescence intensity in plasma was dtected by the sulfur T (Thioflavin T, ThT) method. Results The affinity test results showed that the amyloidosis fluorescent probe (ThT) can be combined with tissue amyloid fibers specifically. The neutrophil amyloid fibers staining also showed a positive reaction. Compared with the AD group, no significant differences were found in white blood cell, red blood cell, hemoglobin and neutrophil absolute value level in the healthy control group The serum amyloid variable fluorescence intensity in the AD group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The amyloid fibers was found in the mature neutrophils, and the level of plasma amyloid fibers was significantly increased in the AD patients.
