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

Monitoring and Cell-Specific Deletion of C5aR1 Using a Novel Floxed GFP-C5aR1 Reporter Knock-in Mouse [PDF]
Abstract Many of the biological properties of C5a are mediated through activation of its receptor (C5aR1), the expression of which has been demonstrated convincingly on myeloid cells, such as neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages. In contrast, conflicting results exist regarding C5aR1 expression in dendritic cells (DCs) and lymphoid ...

Mechanism of activation and biased signaling in complement receptor C5aR1
AbstractThe complement system plays an important role in the innate immune response to invading pathogens. The complement fragment C5a is one of its important effector components and exerts diverse physiological functions through activation of the C5a receptor 1 (C5aR1) and associated downstream G protein and β-arrestin signaling pathways.
