Novel C1q receptor-mediated signaling controls neural stem cell behavior and neurorepair

eLife, 2020
C1q plays a key role as a recognition molecule in the immune system, driving autocatalytic complement cascade activation and acting as an opsonin. We have previously reported a non-immune role of complement C1q modulating the migration and fate of human ...

MINI-REVIEW: SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS AND DEFICIENCIES OF EARLY COMPONENTS OF THE COMPLEMENT CLASSICAL PATHWAY

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
The complement system plays an important role in the innate and acquired immune response against pathogens. It consists of more than 30 proteins found in soluble form or attached to cell membranes. Most complement proteins circulate in inactive forms and

HMGB1–C1q complexes regulate macrophage function by switching between leukotriene and specialized proresolving mediator biosynthesis

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Monocyte to macrophage differentiation is critical to inflammation and resolution of inflammation and can be regulated by high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and HMGB1 plus C1q, respectively. These are 2 evolutionarily old and highly conserved

C1q, Autoimmunity and Apoptosis

Immunobiology, 2002
Deficiency of classical pathway complement components displays a hierarchical association with the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Individuals with deficiency of C1q, the first component of the classical pathway of activation, have the highest prevalence of SLE and the most severe manifestations of the disease. However, complement is

Engineering Topographical Cues to Enhance Neural Regeneration in Spinal Cord Injury: Overcoming Challenges and Advancing Therapies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) poses significant challenges for regeneration due to a series of secondary injury mechanisms. How to use biomaterial approach to target the failed regeneration after SCI remains a critical challenge. This review systematically evaluates current strategies to optimize biomaterial topographies for neurite outgrowth, axonal ...

Complement protein C1q stimulates hyaluronic acid degradation via gC1qR/HABP1/p32 in malignant pleural mesothelioma

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Complement component C1q can act as a pro-tumorigenic factor in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The TME in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is rich in C1q and hyaluronic acid (HA), whose interaction enhances adhesion, migration and proliferation of

Mice lacking C1q or C3 show accelerated rejection of minor H disparate skin grafts and resistance to induction of tolerance [PDF]

, 2010
Complement activation is known to have deleterious effects on organ transplantation. On the other hand, the complement system is also known to have an important role in regulating immune responses.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...
