Pertussis Toxin-sensitive Activation of Phospholipase C by the C5a and fMet-Leu-Phe Receptors [PDF]

, 1996
Signal transduction pathways that mediate C5a and fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-induced pertussis toxin (PTx)-sensitive activation of phospholipase C (PLC) have been investigated using a cotransfection assay system in COS-7 cells.

The interaction between circulating complement proteins and cutaneous microvascular endothelial cells in the development of childhood Henoch-Schönlein Purpura. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In addition to IgA, the deposition of complement (C)3 in dermal vessels is commonly found in Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP). The aim of this study is to elucidate the role of circulating complement proteins in the pathogenesis of childhood HSP.Plasma ...

Activated complement protein C5a does not affect brain-derived endothelial cell viability and zonula occludens-1 levels following oxygen-glucose deprivation

Brain Circulation, 2017
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Ischemic brain injury induces both functional and structural disarray affecting the blood–brain barrier (BBB) which in return aggravates stroke outcomes.

A monoclonal antibody recognizing very late activation antigen-4 inhibits eosinophil accumulation in vivo. [PDF]

, 1993
Using an in vivo test system, the role of the β1 integrin very late activation antigen-4 (VLA-4) in eosinophil accumulation in allergic and nonallergic inflammatory reactions was investigated.

Functions of C5a receptors [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2009
The split product of the complement protein, C5, is C5a and is an extremely potent pro-inflammatory peptide that interacts with two C5a receptors, C5aR and C5L2, present on surfaces of phagocytes as well as other cell types. The former is a well-established receptor that initiates G-protein-coupled signaling via mitogen-activated protein kinase ...

The relationship of anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibody and C5a complement with disease activity and short-term outcome in idiopathic membranous nephropathy

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2019
Background: The binding of anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (anti-PLA2R) antibody to podocyte and complement activation is the mechanisms of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN).

Association of C5a/C5aR pathway to activate ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK in acute kidney injury – a mouse model

Romanian Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2022
Acute inflammation is accompanied by complement system activation and inflammatory cell accumulation. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the common clinical symptoms, it is not clear whether complement system-mediated signaling pathway is involved. This
