Complement factors C1q, C3 and C5 in brain and serum of mice with cerebral malaria

Malaria Journal, 2008
Background The patho-mechanisms leading to brain damage due to cerebral malaria (CM) are yet not fully understood. Immune-mediated and ischaemic mechanisms have been implicated.

Soluble gC1qR is an autocrine signal that induces B1R expression on endothelial cells [PDF]

, 2013
Bradykinin (BK) is one of the most potent vasodilator agonists known and belongs to the kinin family of proinflammatory peptides. BK induces its activity via two G protein-coupled receptors: BK receptor 1 (B1R) and BK receptor 2.

Clinical characteristics of anti‐neurofascin 155 antibody‐positive autoimmune nodopathy in children

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Pediatric anti‐neurofascin 155 antibody autoimmune nodopathy was uncommon, featuring distal limb weakness with sensory symptoms. Cerebrospinal fluid protein levels were elevated, and neuroimaging revealed nerve root thickening. As intravenous immunoglobulin was ineffective, early immunosuppressive therapy was recommended.

Differential Gene Expression in Liver, Gill, and Olfactory Rosettes of Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) After Acclimation to Salinity. [PDF]

, 2015
Most Pacific salmonids undergo smoltification and transition from freshwater to saltwater, making various adjustments in metabolism, catabolism, osmotic, and ion regulation. The molecular mechanisms underlying this transition are largely unknown.

Proteomic Insight Into Alzheimer's Disease Pathogenesis Pathways

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia, but the pathogenesis mechanism is still elusive. Advances in proteomics have uncovered key molecular mechanisms underlying AD, revealing a complex network of dysregulated pathways, including amyloid metabolism, tau pathology, apolipoprotein E (APOE), protein degradation ...

Serum amyloid P aids complement-mediated immunity to Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

, 2007
The physiological functions of the acute phase protein serum amyloid P (SAP) component are not well defined, although they are likely to be important, as no natural state of SAP deficiency has been reported.

Factor H-Related Protein 5 Interacts with Pentraxin 3 and the Extracellular Matrix and Modulates Complement Activation. [PDF]

, 2015
The physiological roles of the factor H (FH)-related proteins are controversial and poorly understood. Based on genetic studies, FH-related protein 5 (CFHR5) is implicated in glomerular diseases, such as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, dense deposit

Potential roles of antibodies with different classes in IgG4‐related diseases

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
This review discussed the common characteristics of different classes of antibodies and their potential corresponding unique mechanisms involved in immunoglobulin G4‐related disease. Abstract Immunoglobulin G4‐related disease (IgG4‐RD), first identified two decades ago, is an immune‐mediated pro‐inflammatory and profibrotic disease entity affecting ...

The Classical Complement Pathway Mediates Microglia-Dependent Remodeling of Spinal Motor Circuits during Development and in SMA

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Movement is an essential behavior requiring the assembly and refinement of spinal motor circuits. However, the mechanisms responsible for circuit refinement and synapse maintenance are poorly understood.

High glucose disrupts oligosaccharide recognition function via competitive inhibition : a potential mechanism for immune dysregulation in diabetes mellitus [PDF]

, 2011
Diabetic complications include infection and cardiovascular disease. Within the immune system, host-pathogen and regulatory host-host interactions operate through binding of oligosaccharides by C-type lectin.
