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

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.

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 ...

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.

Functional Analysis of a Novel Complement C5a Receptor 1-Blocking Monoclonal Antibody
Introduction: The complement system anaphylatoxin C5a is a critical player in inflammation. By binding to complement C5a receptor 1 (C5aR1/CD88), C5a regulates many cellular functions, mainly as a potent pro-inflammatory inducer.

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