scRNA-Seq in Gastric Cancer Reveals Macrophage-Derived C1q as a Diagnostic Marker. [PDF]
Single‐cell sequencing of GC analyzed the tumor microenvironment and discovered the C1QA+ TAMs subpopulation with immunosuppressive function. The role of C1q in the prognosis and diagnosis of GC was demonstrated through plasma and tumor tissue from the GC cohort.

The Comprehensive Live Cell-Based Cytotoxicity Assay for Monitoring Disease Activity and Guiding Rescue Therapy in Acute Attacks of NMOSD. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a devastating neurological disease that lacks serological biomarkers that can accurately reflect disease activity. We established a live cell‐based assay (LCBA) using serum with endogenous complement to quantify the overall cytotoxicity, offering a novel functional tool for monitoring

Autoantibodies against complement C1q in systemic lupus erythemathosus [PDF]
Complement and C1q, the first component of the classical pathway of activation of the complement system, are considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a systemic autoimmune disease.

Young Adult Microglial Deletion of C1q Reduces Engulfment of Synapses and Partially Mitigates Cognitive Impairment in an Aggressive Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model. [PDF]
Young adult deletion of microglial C1q reduced engulfment of Vglut1+ synapses and mitigated spatial cognitive deficits at 10 months of age in the amyloidopathy Arctic mouse model of AD. Neither fibrillar amyloid plaques nor soluble or insoluble Aβ levels in the hippocampus were affected by young adult microglial loss of C1q despite reduced phagocytosis

Serum C1q as a Novel Predictive Biomarker for Postoperative Delirium After Acute Type A Aortic Dissection. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of C1q (complement activation regulatory factor) for the occurrence of postoperative delirium (POD) following surgery for acute aortic dissection. Methods We prospectively included patients undergoing surgery for aortic dissection. Serum levels of C1q were measured preoperatively and

Soluble gC1qR is an autocrine signal that induces B1R expression on endothelial cells [PDF]
Bradykinin (BK) is one of the most potent vasodilator agonists known and belongs to the kinin family of proinflammatory peptides. BK induces its activity via two G protein-coupled receptors: BK receptor 1 (B1R) and BK receptor 2.
