C3a Receptor Antagonist Attenuates Brain Injury after Intracerebral Hemorrhage

open access: yesJournal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, 2009
Neuroprotective therapy targeting the complement cascade may reduce injury associated with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We investigated the role of C3a-receptor antagonist (C3aRA) after ICH in mice.

G protein coupled receptor specificity for C3a and compound 48/80-induced degranulation in human mast cells: Roles of Mas-related genes MrgX1 and MrgX2 [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pharmacology, 2011
Although human mast cells express G protein coupled receptors for the anaphylatoxin C3a, previous studies indicated that C3a causes mast cell degranulation, at least in part, via a C3a receptor-independent mechanism similar to that proposed for ...

Pharmacological activity of C3a and C3a receptor ligands

2023
The complement system is an integral component of the innate immune response to infection and injury. The anaphylatoxins, C3a and C5a, are produced upon activation of the classical, alternative or mannan-binding lectin complement pathways. C5a is a potent pro-inflammatory mediator and overactivation or underegulation of C5a is implicated in the ...

Modulation of C3a Activity: Internalization of the Human C3a Receptor and its Inhibition by C5a

The Journal of Immunology, 1999
Abstract The C3a receptor (C3aR) is expressed on most human peripheral blood leukocytes with the exception of resting lymphocytes, implying a much higher pathophysiological relevance of the anaphylatoxin C3a as a proinflammatory mediator than previously thought.

Protection of hUC-MSCs against Neuronal Complement C3a Receptor-mediated NLRP3 Activation in CUMS-induced Mice.

Neuroscience Letters, 2020
BACKGROUND Hyperactivation of complement C3 and inflammation-related activation of NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome are implicated in the etiology of stress-related disorders.

In Xenopus oocytes the human C3a and C5a receptors elicit a promiscuous response to the anaphylatoxins [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1996
The Xenopus laevis oocyte has been widely utilized for cloning and functional expression of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR). This system was used for the functional expression and characterization of the recently identified human C3a receptor ...

Cloning and Characterization of Rat C3a Receptor: Differential Expression of Rat C3a and C5a Receptors by LPS Stimulation

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1998
The anaphylatoxin C3a, generated during complement activation, is a factor known to mediate various inflammatory reactions. The human C3a receptor (C3aR) was recently cloned and identified to be a member of the G-protein-coupled receptor family. C3aR is characterized by seven transmembrane domains including a large second extracellular loop that ...

C3a receptor on dibutyryl-cAMP-differentiated U937 cells and human neutrophils: The human C3a receptor characterized by functional responses and 125I-C3a binding

Biochemistry, 1992
The anaphylatoxic peptide C3a is part of a basic immunological defense mechanism, the complement system. Research on the human C3a receptor and signal transduction is hampered by the lack of a suitable human cell or cell line. We screened tumor cell lines and human blood cells for a C3a-dependent increase in cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and analyzed this ...

Complement C3a receptor antagonist attenuates tau hyperphosphorylation via glycogen synthase kinase 3&bgr; signaling pathways

European Journal of Pharmacology, 2019
Neurofibrillary tangles aggregated from hyperphosphorylated tau protein are the main pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Complement C3 (or C3a) is the core component of the complement system and is associated with AD pathological processes.
