Systemic inhibition of the membrane attack complex impedes neuroinflammation in chronic relapsing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2018
The complement system is a key driver of neuroinflammation. Activation of complement by all pathways, results in the formation of the anaphylatoxin C5a and the membrane attack complex (MAC).

Pro-inflammatory regulatory mechanism of C5a/C5aR pathway in GCRV-infected grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

open access: yesAquaculture Reports, 2023
Death of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) caused by grass carp reovirus (GCRV) infection severely restricts the development of the grass carp industry.

Cultured human glomerular mesangial cells express the C5a receptor [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Cultured human glomerular mesangial cells express the C5a receptor.BackgroundWhile the association of complement activation and glomerulonephritis has been recognized for decades, the pathogenic mechanisms of complement-mediated glomerular damage are ...

Bidirectional Crosstalk between C5a Receptors and the NLRP3 Inflammasome in Macrophages and Monocytes

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2016
C5a is an inflammatory mediator generated by complement activation that positively regulates various arms of immune defense, including Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling.

Receptor activation by human C5a des Arg74 but not intact C5a is dependent on an interaction between Glu199 of the receptor and Lys68 of the ligand

open access: yes, 1999
Despite the expression of only one type of receptor, there is great variation in the ability of different cell types to discriminate between C5a and its more stable metabolite, C5a des Arg74. The mechanism that underlies this phenomenon is not understood

Complement C5a induces the generation of neutrophil extracellular traps by inhibiting mitochondrial STAT3 to promote the development of arterial thrombosis

open access: yesThrombosis Journal, 2022
Background Thrombotic events cannot be completely prevented by antithrombotics, implicating a therapeutic gap due to inflammation, a not yet sufficiently addressed mechanism.

Complement C5a Implication in Axonal Growth After Injury

open access: yesCells
Complement C5a protein has been shown to play a major role in tissue regeneration through interaction with its receptor (C5aR) on target cells. Expression of this receptor has been reported in the nervous system which, upon injury, has no treatment to ...

Sphingosine kinase 1 mediation of expression of the anaphylatoxin receptor C5L2 dampens the inflammatory response to endotoxin.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The complement anaphylatoxin C5a has a pathogenetic role in endotoxin-induced lung inflammatory injury by regulating phagocytic cell migration and activation.

Unidirectional heterologous receptor desensitization between both the fMLP and C5a receptor and the IL‐8 receptor [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
During inflammation neutrophils receive multiple signals that are integrated, allowing a single modified response. One mechanism for this discrimination is receptor desensitization, a process whereby ligand‐receptor binding is disassociated from cell ...

CD177 Deficiency Defines a Stable Subtype of Human Neutrophil Granulocytes with Tumor Promoting Activity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Human neutrophils exist as two epigenetically imprinted subtypes defined by stable CD177 expression or absence — a ratio that persists across time, circadian rhythms, and inflammation. CD177− neutrophils display a distinct molecular landscape enriched in arginase 1 and lipid metabolism markers, accumulate in head‐and‐neck tumors, and associate with ...
