Osteoblast-specific overexpression of complement receptor C5aR1 impairs fracture healing. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The anaphylatoxin receptor C5aR1 plays an important role not only in innate immune responses, but also in bone metabolism and fracture healing, being highly expressed on immune and bone cells, including osteoblasts and osteoclasts.

Modulation of C5a–C5aR1 signaling alters the dynamics of AD progression [PDF]

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2022
Background The complement system is part of the innate immune system that clears pathogens and cellular debris. In the healthy brain, complement influences neurodevelopment and neurogenesis, synaptic pruning, clearance of neuronal blebs, recruitment of ...

C5a/C5aR1 Pathway Is Critical for the Pathogenesis of Psoriasis [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Psoriasis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases, affecting ~2% of the population. The lack of characterization of the pathogenesis of psoriasis has hindered efficient clinical treatment of the disease.

C5a–C5AR1 axis as a potential trigger of the rupture of intracranial aneurysms

Scientific Reports
Recent studies have indicated the involvement of neutrophil-mediated inflammatory responses in the process leading to intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture. Receptors mediating neutrophil recruitment could thus be therapeutic targets of unruptured IAs.

C5aR2 Deficiency Lessens C5aR1 Distribution and Expression in Neutrophils and Macrophages

Journal of Immunology Research
As another receptor for complement activation product C5a, C5aR2 has been paid much attention these years. Although controversial and complex, its specific signals or roles in modulating the classic receptor C5aR1 have been investigated and gradually ...

Improving radiotherapy in immunosuppressive microenvironments by targeting complement receptor C5aR1

The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2023
An immunosuppressive microenvironment causes poor tumor T cell infiltration and is associated with reduced patient overall survival in colorectal cancer. How to improve treatment responses in these tumors is still a challenge.

Role of C5aR1 and C5L2 Receptors in Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021
The role of C5a receptors (C5aR1 and C5L2) in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is uncertain. We generated an in vitro model of hypoxia/reoxygenation with human proximal tubule epithelial cells to mimic some IRI events. C5aR1, membrane attack complex (MAC) and factor H (FH) deposits were evaluated with immunofluorescence.

The Complement C5a-C5aR1 GPCR Axis in COVID-19 Therapeutics [PDF]

Trends in Immunology, 2020
The current pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 is a significant global health challenge. A recent study by Carvelli and colleagues now demonstrates the involvement of complement C5a and its receptor C5aR1 in disease progression and suggests that blockade of the C5a-C5aR1 axis may represent a potential therapeutic strategy ...

C5aR1 Inhibition Alleviates Cranial Radiation-Induced Cognitive Decline. [PDF]

Cancer Res
ABSTRACT Cranial radiation therapy (RT) for brain cancers leads to an irreversible decline in cognitive function without an available remedy. Radiation-induced cognitive deficits (RICD) are a particularly pressing problem for the survivors of pediatric and low grade glioma (LGG) cancers who often live long post-RT ...

Evaluating the usefulness of C5 and C5AR1 as genetic biomarkers of IgA-mediated vasculitis

Molecular Medicine
Background IgA-mediated vasculitis (IgAV) is a complex inflammatory disease. Unravelling its genetic background would allow us to identify genetic biomarkers that may be used as additional tools in its daily management, helping to solve the clinical ...
