Interaction of C1q With Pentraxin 3 and IgM Revisited: Mutational Studies With Recombinant C1q Variants

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Pentraxins and complement defense collagens are soluble recognition proteins that sense pathogens and altered-self elements, and trigger immune responses including complement activation.

Binding of von Willebrand Factor to Complement C1q Decreases the Phagocytosis of Cholesterol Crystals and Subsequent IL-1 Secretion in Macrophages

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Complement C1q, the initiation molecule of the classical pathway, exerts various immunomodulatory functions independent of complement activation. Non-classical functions of C1q include the clearance of apoptotic cells and cholesterol crystals (CC), as ...

Experimental and Computational Insights into the Structural Dynamics of the Fc Fragment of IgG1 Subtype from Biosimilar VEGF‐Trap

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
The constant fragment (Fc) of the immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) subtype is a widely used scaffold for designing advanced therapeutics. Herein, together with the integration of experimental and computational techniques, this study reveals the structural dynamics of the N‐glycan‐bound Fc fragment of IgG1 from VEGF‐Trap, providing a new insight into enhancing ...

Age‐Related Complement C3 Drives Memory Impairments and Associated Neuropathologies in a Mouse Model

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
Age‐related complement C3 elevation induces memory impairments and neuropathology by dysregulating astrocytic insulin signaling and triggering mitochondrial dysfunction. Critically, antibody blockade of C3 in mouse brain tissue effectively reversed learning and memory deficits in mice, demonstrating that targeting C3 is a promising therapeutic strategy.
