Complement C3 deficiency alleviates alkylation-induced retinal degeneration in mice [PDF]
Eye and Vision, 2022 Background It has been found that the extensive use of anticancer drugs containing DNA-alkylating agents not only target cancer cells but also cause retinal inflammation through toxic intermediates.

Gut dysbiosis induces the development of depression-like behavior through abnormal synapse pruning in microglia-mediated by complement C3 [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground Remodeling eubiosis of the gut microenvironment may contribute to preventing the occurrence and development of depression. Mounting experimental evidence has shown that complement C3 signaling is associated with the pathogenesis of depression,

Complement C3 Polymorphism In Greenland Eskimos [PDF]
Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1981 The C3F gene has been associated with atherosclerotic vascular disease. Greenland Eskimos have a very low frequency of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The C3 polymorphism phenotypes were therefore determined by high-voltage agarose gel electrophoresis in 125 Greenland Eskimos originating from different parts of Greenland and compared with a control ...

The Covalent Binding Reaction of Complement Component C3 [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 1998 AbstractThe covalent binding of C3 to target molecules on the surfaces of pathogens is crucial in most complement-mediated activities. When C3 is activated, the acyl group is transferred from the sulfhydryl of the internal thioester to the hydroxyl group of the acceptor molecule; consequently, C3 is bound to the acceptor surface by an ester bond.

Development of a C3 humanized rat as a new model for evaluating novel C3 inhibitors
Journal of Innate Immunity, 2023 Introduction: C3 is central for all complement activation pathways, thus an attractive therapeutic target. Many C3-targeted agents are under extensive development with one already approved for clinical use.

Alternative C3 Complement System: Lipids and Atherosclerosis [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is increasingly associated with inflammation, a phenotype that persists despite treatment with lipid lowering therapies. The alternative C3 complement system (C3), as a key inflammatory mediator, seems to be involved in the atherosclerotic process; however, the relationship between C3 and lipids during plaque ...
