Transthyretin (TTR)-related familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy, which is induced by amyloidogenic transthyretin (ATTR), is characterized by systemic accumulation of amyloid fibrils. Although it is believed that protein misfolding of monomeric form of TTR is a rate-limiting step for TTR amyloid formation, no effective therapy targeting this misfolding step is available. Our recent studies revealed that cyclodextrins (CyDs), cyclic oligosaccharides composed of glucose units, might interact with TTR and prevent the protein misfolding. In this study, we focused on and elucidated the inhibitory effect of 6-O-α-(4-O-α-D-Glucuronyl)-D-glucosyl-β-CyD (GUG-β-CyD) on TTR amyloid formation. Tryptophan (Trp) fluorescence and (1)H-NMR spectroscopy analyses indicated that GUG-β-CyD stabilized TTR conformation via interaction with the hydrophobic amino acids of TTR. Moreover, GUG-β-CyD suppressed TTR deposition in transgenic rats possessing a human ATTR V30M gene in vivo. Collectively, these data indicate that GUG-β-CyD may inhibit TTR misfolding by stabilizing its conformation, which, in turn, suppresses TTR amyloid formation.
