Amyloidosis refers to a group of degenerative diseases that are characterized by the deposition of misfolded protein fibrils in various organs. Deposited amyloid may be removed by a phagocyte-dependent innate immune system; however, the precise mechanisms during disease progression remain unclear. We herein investigated the properties of macrophages that contribute to amyloid degradation and disease progression using transmissible apolipoprotein A-II amyloidosis model mice. Intravenously injected AApoAII amyloid was efficiently engulfed by reticuloendothelial macrophages in the liver and spleen and disappeared by 24 h. While cultured murine macrophages degraded AApoAII via the endosomal-lysosomal pathway, AApoAII fibrils reduced cell viability and phagocytic capacity. Furthermore, the depletion of reticuloendothelial macrophages prior to the induction of AApoAII markedly increased hepatic and splenic AApoAII deposition. These results highlight the physiological role of reticuloendothelial macrophages against inter-individual amyloid propagation and suggest the maintenance of phagocytic integrity as a therapeutic strategy to inhibit disease progression.
