Role for Complement C5 in Eosinophilic Inflammation of Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Complement activation module, particularly C5, is positively associated with eosinophilic inflammation in severe asthma cohorts. Elevated C5 expression correlates with poor lung function improvement and persistent eosinophilic inflammation. Mouse model studies confirm that C5 exacerbates eosinophilic inflammation, highlighting its potential as a ...

Primary Alcohol-Activated Human and Mouse Hepatic Stellate Cells Share Similarities in Gene-Expression Profiles. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a leading cause of cirrhosis in the United States, which is characterized by extensive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins and formation of a fibrous scar.

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Upregulation of Early and Downregulation of Terminal Pathway Complement Genes in Sbcutaneous Adipose Tissue and Adipocytes in Acquired Obesity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Inflammation is an important mediator of obesity-related complications such as the metabolic syndrome but its causes and mechanisms are unknown. As the complement system is a key mediator of inflammation, we studied whether it is activated in acquired ...

Transcriptional and functional effects of mavacamten in multiple porcine and human models with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 5, Page 1122-1139, March 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Mavacamten (MAVA) is a novel small molecule inhibitor of cardiac myosin, mitigating cardiomyocyte hypercontractility in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Despite its recent approval for clinical use, the transcriptional and functional impacts of MAVA remain not well understood.

Complement Receptor C5aR1 Plays an Evolutionarily Conserved Role in Successful Cardiac Regeneration [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 2018
Background: Defining conserved molecular pathways in animal models of successful cardiac regeneration could yield insight into why adult mammals have inadequate cardiac regeneration after injury. Insight into the transcriptomic landscape of early cardiac regeneration from model organisms will shed light on evolutionarily ...

The role of C5a-C5aR1 axis in bone pathophysiology: A mini-review

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Bone remodeling is a physiological, dynamic process that mainly depends on the functions of 2 cell types: osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Emerging evidence suggests that complement system is crucially involved in the regulation of functions of these cells, especially during inflammatory states.

Complement Activation in Association with Markers of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Acute Myocardial Infarction in Stable Coronary Artery Disease

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2020
Complement activation and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have both been suggested to drive atherosclerotic plaque progression. Although experimental studies suggest interplay between these two innate immunity components, the relevance in patients ...

Spatial heterogeneity in microglia‐complement crosstalk: Implications for synaptic pruning in Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by synaptic loss, as a key pathological feature in its early stages. Recent studies have highlighted the central role of microglia–complement interactions in synaptic pruning.

Inhibition of C5aR1 as a promising approach to treat taxane-induced neuropathy

open access: yesCytokine, 2023
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common side effect of several antitumor agents resulting in progressive and often irreversible damage of peripheral nerves. In addition to their known anticancer effects, taxanes, including paclitaxel, can also induce peripheral neuropathy by activating microglia and astrocytes, which release pro ...
