The formation of amyloid-like fibrils, which polymerize from various soluble proteins under physiological and acidic conditions, causes a wide range of protein-folding diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Fibril assembly in in vitro solutions containing nitric oxide, a free radical that functions as an important signalling molecule involved in numerous physiological and pathological processes, has not been reported. Here, we investigated the protein assembly that occur in thyroglobulin under mildly acidic conditions in the presence of nitric oxide. Solution studies, size exclusion chromatography, dynamic light scattering and analytical ultracentrifugation, demonstrated the size changes of thyroglobulin oligomers after nitric oxide treatment. Following electron microscopic analysis visualized their structural changes and revealed that the molecules can morphologically form polymerized fibril assemblies with a length of 2-5 μm and width 10-100 nm. Taken together, these results provide suggestive evidence for the propensity of forming polymerized thyroglobulin fibrils implying their presence in thyroid cells, which may be related to the onset or progression of thyroid diseases.
