Role of the lectin pathway of complement in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-associated endothelial injury and thrombotic microangiopathy

Experimental Hematology & Oncology, 2021
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (HSCT-TMA) is a life-threatening syndrome that occurs in adult and pediatric patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

The influence of natural pulmonary surfactant on the efficacy of siRNA-loaded dextran nanogels [PDF]

, 2013
Aim: Topical administration of siRNA nanocarriers is a promising approach in the treatment of pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary surfactant, covering the entire alveolar surface of mammalian lungs, will be one of the first interfaces that siRNA nanocarriers ...

The Long Pentraxin PTX3 as a Link Between Innate Immunity, Tissue Remodeling, and Cancer

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
The innate immune system comprises a cellular and a humoral arm. Humoral pattern recognition molecules include complement components, collectins, ficolins, and pentraxins.

The detection of surfactant proteins A, B, C and D in the human brain and their regulation in cerebral infarction, autoimmune conditions and infections of the CNS. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Surfactant proteins (SP) have been studied intensively in the respiratory system. Surfactant protein A and surfactant protein D are proteins belonging to the family of collectins each playing a major role in the innate immune system.

Innate Immunity and the Evolution of Resistance to an Emerging Infectious Disease in a Wild Bird [PDF]

, 2014
Innate immunity is expected to play a primary role in conferring resistance to novel infectious diseases, but few studies have attempted to examine its role in the evolution of resistance to emerging pathogens in wild vertebrate populations.

Pentraxins in Complement Activation and Regulation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The complement is the first line of immune defense system involved in elimination of invading pathogens and dying host cells. Its activation is mainly triggered by immune complexes or pattern recognition molecules (PRMs) upon recognition against non-self

Genetic Association With Pseudomonas aeruginosa Acquisition in Cystic Fibrosis: Influence of Surfactant Protein D and Mannose-Binding Lectin

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Background:Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection in cystic fibrosis (CF) is associated with poor prognosis. Surfactant protein-D (SFTPD) and mannose-binding lectin (MBL) play a critical role in innate immunity and response to bacterial infections.

Proteomic and Transcriptomic Signatures of Poor Asthma Symptom Control in the U‐BIOPRED Cohort

Allergy, EarlyView.
No stable features were identified as associated with asthma symptom control in transcriptomics or sputum proteomics. Higher TWEAKR/TNFRSF12A and MBL/MBP‐C serum levels increased the odds of uncontrolled symptoms, while higher MK08/MAPK8 and CD5L serum levels decreased the odds, after adjustment for clinical variables.

Conglutinin is not specific to cattle

Veterinární Medicína, 2011
Conglutinin is a high-molecular-weight mammalian lectin which binds in a calcium-dependent manner to cell-surface-bound complement fragment iC3b, yeast cell-wall extract and terminal non-reducing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, mannose and fucose residues.

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.
