Different isoforms of SAA are expressed constitutively constitutive SAAs at different levels or in response to inflammatory stimuli acute phase SAAs. These proteins are predominantly produced by the liver.1 The conservation of these proteins throughout invertebrates and vertebrates suggests SAAs play a highly essential role in all animals.2 Acute phase serum amyloid A proteins Acute phase serum amyloid A proteins A-SAAs are secreted during the acute phase of inflammation. These proteins have several roles, including the transport of cholesterol to the liver for secretion into the bile, the recruitment of immune cells to inflammatory sites and the induction of enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix. A-SAAs are implicated in several chronic inflammatory diseases, such as amyloidosis, atherosclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.3 Three acute phase SAA isoforms have been reported in mice, called SAA1, SAA2 and SAA3. During inflammation, SAA1 and SAA2 are principally expressed and induced in the liver, while SAA3 is induced in many distinct tissues. SAA1 and SAA2 genes are regulated in liver cells by the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α. Both SAA1 and SAA2 are induced up to a 1000-fold in mice under acute inflammatory conditions following exposure to bacterial lipopolysaccharide LPS.3 Three A-SAA genes have also been identified in humans4, although the third gene, SAA3, is believed to represent a pseudogene that does not generate messenger RNA or protein.5 Constitutive serum amyloid A proteins A fourth SAA SAA4 was identified in humans and is expressed constitutively in the liver thus is defined as a constitutive SAA C-SAA.6 A similar protein has since been identified in the mouse that is now also called SAA4; it had originally been designated SAA5.78 References ^ Uhlar CM, Whitehead AS 1999.
