BackgroundC-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid P component (SAP), two major classical pentraxins in humans, are soluble pattern recognition molecules that regulate the innate immune system. They have a unique pentameric structure and bind to their ligands calcium-dependently with their B faces. Pentameric CRP binds calcium-independently to various proteins, including amyloid β (Aβ), at acidic pH in vitro [Citation 1]. It is hypothesized that pentameric CRP protects against toxic conditions caused by protein misfolding and aggregation in acidic inflammatory environments, but the chaperone activity of CRP remain poorly understood. SAP is present universally in all extracellular amyloid deposits [Citation 2]. Its primary role in amyloidogenesis is thought to enhance the formation and deposition of amyloid fibrils by binding to the surface of amyloid fibrils calcium-dependently with the B face. On the other hand, SAP inhibits the amyloid fibril formation of Aβ [Citation 3] and enhances the refolding yield of denatured lactate dehydrogenase in vitro [Citation 4]. No convincing data or models have been published thus far to explain the discrepancy between the pro-and anti-amyloidogenic activities of SAP. In this study, we investigated the effects of CRP and SAP on amyloid fibril formation and amorphous protein aggregation in vitro [Citation 5].Materials and methodsHuman CRP and SAP were kind gifts from Professor Mark B. Pepys, UCL. Amyloid fibril formation was monitored by thioflavin T assay and electron microscopy. Amorphous protein aggregation was monitored by turbidity assay. Protein–protein interaction was assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and western blotting analysis.ResultsWe first evaluated the assembly states of CRP and SAP in various buffer conditions. In the absence and presence of Ca 2+, CRP existed as pentamers. On the other hand, SAP assembled into the stable decamers in Ca 2+-free Tris-EDTA buffer. In MES-Ca buffer, comprised of 50 mM MES-NaOH (pH 7.0), 500 mM NaCl and 2 mM CaCl 2, SAP remained pentameric even after 72-h incubation at 37 C. We next examined the effects of CRP and SAP on amyloid fibril formation in different buffer conditions. CRP and SAP dose-dependently and substoichiometrically inhibited both Aβ (1–40) and D76N β 2-microglobulin (β2-m) fibril formation in a Ca 2+-independent manner. As calcium-free SAP exhibits a B-face-to-B-face decamer, these data may indicate that the A-face of SAP may have anti-amyloidogenic activity in a Ca 2+-independent manner. Interestingly, in the presence of Ca 2+, SAP first inhibited, then significantly accelerated D76N β2-m fibril formation (Figure 1). Electron microscopically, the surface of the D76N β2-m fibril was coated with pentameric SAP. These data suggest that SAP first exhibits antiamyloidogenic activity possibly via A face, followed by proamyloidogenic activity via B face. We next performed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to assess the interaction of CRP and SAP with fresh and aggregated Aβ (1–40) and D76N β2-m. CRP and SAP interacted with fresh and preaggregated Aβ (1–40) and D76N β2-m on the fibril-forming pathway. Finally, SAP inhibited not only amyloid fibril formation but also the heat-induced amorphous aggregation of human glutathione S-transferase.
