A mounting number of studies have been documenting strong pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic effects of carbon nanotube (CNT). However, the molecular mechanisms of single-walled CNT (SWCNT)-provoked lung injury remain to be elucidated.

Dysregulations of C1QA, C1QB, C1QC and C5AR1 as candidate biomarkers of vascular dementia
Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second most common cause of dementia. Few bioinformatic analysis has been done to explore its biomarkers. This study aimed to excavate potential biomarkers for VaD using bioinformatic analysis and validate them at both ...

UPR-induced intracellular C5aR1 promotes adaptation to the hypoxic tumour microenvironment
Dysregulation of the C5a-C5a receptor 1 (C5aR1) signalling axis underlies inflammation and immune-driven pathology. C5aR1 was traditionally thought to be primarily expressed on the cell membrane, although recent reports indicate the importance of ...

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.

C5a/C5aR1 mediates the IMQ-induced psoriatic skin inflammation via promoting IL-17A expression by γδ T cells in mice [PDF]
Objective To explore the effects and underlying mechanism of C5a/C5aR1 pathway in mediating imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriatic skin inflammation by increasing IL-17A expression in γδ T cells.

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.

The C5a/C5aR1 axis controls the development of experimental allergic asthma independent of LysM-expressing pulmonary immune cells. [PDF]
C5a regulates the development of maladaptive immune responses in allergic asthma mainly through the activation of C5a receptor 1 (C5aR1). Yet, the cell types and the mechanisms underlying this regulation are ill-defined.

Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is a common small RNA virus that is highly neuroinvasive. Emerging evidence indicates that the complement fragment C5a and its receptor C5aR1 are important drivers of neuroinflammation.
