      Background InformationPrimary systemic amyloidosis is a plasma cell disease characterized by deposition of misfolded immunoglobulin (Ig) light chain products as amyloid fibrils throughout vital tissues and organs. Amyloidosis may present as a range of symptoms, including nervous system dysfunction, swelling, fatigue, and pain in the extremities (1). Patients with amyloidosis often suffer from other plasma cell diseases such as multiple myeloma, making the study of amyloidosis and development of potential targeted treatments extremely challenging.

      ALMC-1 was the first plasma cell amyloidosis cell line isolated and is characterized by c-myc amplification and deletion of the tumor suppressor p53 (2). The Ig lambda secreted by ALMC-1 cells has been shown to form amyloid fibrils in vitro (2). ALMC-1 cells proliferate in presence of IL-6, a critical factor supporting tumor growth in the bone marrow microenvironment (2). ALMC-1 cells are hypotetraploid, express CD44, and overexpress the oncogene MAFB (2). The ALMC-1 plasma cell myeloma cell line represents a valuable and clinically relevant model for amyloidosis and studies of the mechanisms of myeloma progression.

      Source
      The ALMC-1 cell line was isolated from bone marrow of a 50-year old female patient with amyloidosis and later diagnosed with multiple myeloma (3).
