Age-Related Maculopathy Susceptibility 2 and Complement Factor H Polymorphism and Intraocular Complement Activation in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

open access: yesOphthalmology Science, 2022
Purpose: To investigate the association of risk alleles in complement factor H (CFH) and age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 (ARMS2) with complement activation products in the aqueous humor in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration ...

Cancer epithelia-derived mitochondrial DNA is a targetable initiator of a paracrine signaling loop that confers taxane resistance. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Stromal-epithelial interactions dictate cancer progression and therapeutic response. Prostate cancer (PCa) cells were identified to secrete greater concentration of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) compared to noncancer epithelia.

The tumour microenvironment links complement system dysregulation and hypoxic signalling. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The complement system is an innate immune pathway typically thought of as part of the first line of defence against "non-self" species. In the context of cancer, complement has been described to have an active role in facilitating cancer-associated ...

Amniotic fluid embolism pathophysiology suggests the new diagnostic armamentarium: β-tryptase and complement fractions C3-C4 are the indispensable working tools [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is an uncommon obstetric condition involving pregnant women during labor or in the initial stages after delivery. Its incidence is estimated to be around 5.5 cases per 100,000 deliveries.

Astrocyte Responses to Complement Peptide C3a are Highly Context-Dependent

open access: yesNeurochemical Research, 2022
AbstractAstrocytes perform a range of homeostatic and regulatory tasks that are critical for normal functioning of the central nervous system. In response to an injury or disease, astrocytes undergo a pronounced transformation into a reactive state that involves changes in the expression of many genes and dramatically changes astrocyte morphology and ...

Ischemia and reperfusion injury in kidney transplantation : relevant mechanisms in injury and repair [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) is a complex pathophysiological phenomenon, inevitable in kidney transplantation and one of the most important mechanisms for non- or delayed function immediately after transplantation.

C3a and Its Receptor C3aR Are Detectable in Normal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes and Are Differentially Regulated via TLR3 and LL37

open access: yesJournal of Innate Immunity, 2021
To study the molecular interplay between TLRs and complement representing ancient danger-sensing mechanisms, we examined the regulation of the C3a/anaphylatoxin C3a receptor (C3aR) axis in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) by treatment with ...

Incorporation of Novel Synthetic Glycolipids in Liposomal Nanoparticles Affects Opsonization and In Vivo Clearance

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We prepared five glycosylated liposomal nanoparticles (G‐LNPs) to investigate the role of glycosylation and protein corona in modulating the in vivo behavior of G‐LNPs. We show that IgG and complement C3 adsorption enhanced liposomal nanoparticle clearance, with IgG promoting subsequent C3 binding.

Biomarkers of the Complement System Activation (C3a, C5a, sC5b-9) in Serum of Patients before and after Liver Transplantation

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
The liver has a huge impact on the functioning of our body and the preservation of homeostasis. It is exposed to many serious diseases, which may lead to the chronic failure of this organ, which is becoming a global health problem today.

Potential Mechanisms Underlying TGF-β-mediated Complement Activation in Lung Fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
While our previous studies suggest that limiting bleomycin-induced complement activation suppresses TGF-β signaling, the specific hierarchical interactions between TGF-β and complement in lung fibrosis are unclear.
