Role for Complement C5 in Eosinophilic Inflammation of Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, Volume 81, Issue 5, Page 1571-1586, May 2026.
Complement activation module, particularly C5, is positively associated with eosinophilic inflammation in severe asthma cohorts. Elevated C5 expression correlates with poor lung function improvement and persistent eosinophilic inflammation. Mouse model studies confirm that C5 exacerbates eosinophilic inflammation, highlighting its potential as a ...

Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Avacopan, a C5a Receptor Inhibitor, in Patients With Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis Treated Concomitantly With Rituximab or Cyclophosphamide/Azathioprine: Protocol for a Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Phase 3 Trial

open access: yesJMIR Research Protocols, 2020
BackgroundAntineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis is a serious, often life-threatening disease. In new-onset disease or a relapse, the standard treatment is immunosuppressive therapy with glucocorticoids; these therapies are ...

Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Human Macrophages During Mycobacterium avium Versus Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 3, Page 185-202, March 2026.
Human macrophage transcriptomic responses to Mycobacterium avium (Mav), a major cause of nontuberculous lung disease, were compared to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Both infections activated overlapping immune pathways, including cytokine signaling and GPCRs involved in lipid metabolism, while phospholipases were more strongly regulated by Mav and ...

The Complement System in ANCA‐Associated Vasculitis: Mechanistic Insights, Therapeutic Horizons, and Unmet Clinical Needs

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Complement activation, particularly via the alternative pathway, drives inflammation and organ damage in ANCA‐associated vasculitis. This review highlights mechanistic insights, tissue and biomarker evidence, and clinical implications of targeting the C5a–C5aR1 axis.

Post‐ischemia and reperfusion kidney injury is mitigated in a novel complement 5 knockout rat

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 21, November 2025.
Abstract Ischemia‐reperfusion injury (IRI) is the central contributing factor to acute kidney injury (AKI). Kidney tissue that becomes necrotic during this process releases a variety of pro‐inflammatory factors, driving activation of the complement cascade.

From Bat to Worse: The Pivotal Role of Bats for Viral Zoonosis

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2025.
Thanks to a dampened inflammatory innate immune response, various Chiropteran (bat) species frequently carry ‐ without showing symptoms – diverse viruses that can cause severe diseases in humans. The reasons why bats are a pivotal virus reservoir for emerging viral diseases are discussed in this Lilliput contribution.

Complement anaphylatoxins: Potential therapeutic target for diabetic kidney disease

open access: yesDiabetic Medicine, Volume 42, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common cause of kidney failure, characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis. The complement system is increasingly implicated in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy. The important complement anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a are key mediators of the innate immune system, which ...

The complement system: A key player in the host response to infections

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, Volume 54, Issue 11, November 2024.
Duality of the complement system during infection: An adequate immune defense clears the infection and restores tissue resilience, whereas a maladaptive response due to complement hyperactivation results in hyperinflammation and tissue injury, as seen in sepsis and pneumonia.
