Human complement C3 deficiency: Th1 induction requires T cell-derived complement C3a and CD46 activation

Molecular Immunology, 2014
Human T helper type 1 (Th1) responses are essential in defense. Although T cell receptor (TCR) and co-stimulator engagement are indispensable for T cell activation, stimulation of additional receptor pathways are also necessary for effector induction.

Complement Peptide C3a Promotes Astrocyte Survival in Response to Ischemic Stress

Molecular Neurobiology, 2015
Astrocytes are the most numerous cells in the central nervous system with a range of homeostatic and regulatory functions. Under normal conditions as well as after ischemia, astrocytes promote neuronal survival. We have previously reported that the complement-derived peptide C3a stimulates neuronal differentiation of neural progenitor cells and ...

Complement C3a predicts outcome in cardiac resynchronization therapy of heart failure

Inflammation Research, 2016
The chronic inflammation plays an important role in heart failure and complement components might be useful markers of the prognosis. We set out to evaluate their predictive value in the clinical outcomes of patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).We determined the complement levels C3, C3a, sC5b-9 and also the N-terminus of the ...

Complement peptide C3a inhibits IgEmediated triggering of rat mucosal mast cells

International Immunology, 1995
The relationship between mast cells' secretory response to stimulation via their type 1 Fc epsilon receptors (Fc epsilon RI) and that provided by the C3a fragment of the complement system was investigated in the rat mucosal-type mast cell line RBL-2H3. These cells are known to be unresponsive to the so-called 'peptidergic' stimulus provided by cationic

Complement C3a receptor modulates embryonic neural progenitor cell proliferation and cognitive performance

Molecular Immunology, 2018
The complement system of innate immunity is emerging as a novel player in neurodevelopmental processes. The receptor for C3a, C3aR, shares a close evolutionary and functional relationship with C5a receptors. Whilst the C5a receptor, C5aR1, has been demonstrated to promote embryonic neural stem cell proliferation, little is known about the role of C3aR ...

Complement C3a-C3aR signaling in the colon epithelium 4117

The Journal of Immunology
Abstract Description   The liver-derived complement system has been considered the body’s main source for the complement cascade. Recently, complement C3 was found to be expressed in the gut under steady-state conditions and during inflammatory conditions.

Complement C3a: Shaping the Plasticity of the Post-stroke Brain

2017
Complement is part of the innate immune system that plays a major role in the initiation of inflammation and host defence against pathogenic bacteria. Complement activation is also a contributor to tissue damage in a range of autoimmune conditions. For those reasons, the activation of the complement system in the central nervous system (CNS) was for ...
