Targeting C5aR1 Increases the Therapeutic Window of Radiotherapy [PDF]
AbstractEngaging innate immune pathways is emerging as a productive way of achieving durable anti-tumor responses. However, systemic administration of these therapies can result in toxicity, deemed to be particularly problematic when combined with current standard-of-care cytotoxic treatments such as radiotherapy.

The tumour microenvironment links complement system dysregulation and hypoxic signalling. [PDF]
The complement system is an innate immune pathway typically thought of as part of the first line of defence against "non-self" species. In the context of cancer, complement has been described to have an active role in facilitating cancer-associated ...

Discovery of functionally selective C5aR2 ligands: novel modulators of C5a signalling. [PDF]
The complement cascade is comprised of a highly sophisticated network of innate immune proteins that are activated in response to invading pathogens or tissue injury. The complement activation peptide, C5a, binds two seven transmembrane receptors, namely

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC), with a modest response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) targeting PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy, is densely infiltrated by M2-polarized tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and regulatory T (Treg) cells. The complement

Modulation of porcine intestinal epitheliocytes immunetranscriptome response by Lactobacillus jensenii TL2937 [PDF]
In order to evaluate probiotic strains applicable for the beneficial immunomodulation of the porcine gut (immunobiotics), we previously developed a porcine intestinal epitheliocyte cell line (PIE cells).

The complement component C5a and its receptor C5aR1 are involved in the development of numerous inflammatory diseases. In addition to immune cells, C5aR1 is expressed in neoplastic cells of multiple tumour entities, where C5aR1 is associated with a ...

Complement in the homeostatic and ischemic brain [PDF]
The complement system is a component of the immune system involved in both recognition and response to pathogens, and it is implicated in an increasing number of homeostatic and disease processes. It is well documented that reperfusion of ischemic tissue

In recent years, evidence has accumulated that the complement system, an integral part of innate immunity, may be involved in the regulation of bone homeostasis as well as inflammatory bone loss, for example, in rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis.

Renal C3 complement component: feed forward to diabetic kidney disease [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Diabetic nephropathy is the main cause of end-stage renal disease and has reached epidemic proportions. METHODS: Comprehensive genomic profiling (RNAseq) was employed in the ZS (F1 hybrids of Zucker and spontaneously hypertensive heart ...

Local endothelial complement activation reverses endothelial quiescence, enabling t-cell homing, and tumor control during t-cell immunotherapy. [PDF]
Cancer immunotherapy relies upon the ability of T cells to infiltrate tumors. The endothelium constitutes a barrier between the tumor and effector T cells, and the ability to manipulate local vascular permeability could be translated into effective ...
