Complement component C5 and TLR molecule CD14 mediate heme-induced thromboinflammation in human blood [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Heme is a critical danger molecule liberated from hemeproteins in various conditions, including from hemoglobin in hemolytic diseases. Heme may cause thromboinflammatory damage by activating inflammatory and hemostatic pathways, such as complement, the ...

Population Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Analyses of Pegcetacoplan in Patients with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria

open access: yesDrugs in R&D
Background and Objective Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is a rare blood disorder characterized by life-threatening hemolysis and thrombosis. Complement C5 inhibitor therapy improves symptoms and life prognosis; however, it can result in insufficient

Real-world use of complement inhibitors for haemolytic uraemic syndrome: an analysis of the European Rare Kidney Disease Registry cohortResearch in context

open access: yesEClinicalMedicine
Summary: Background: Although terminal complement inhibitors transformed the prognosis of atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) from dismal to favourable, treatment approaches vary due to the intermittent disease nature and high costs ...

Combined inhibition of complement (C5) and CD14 markedly attenuates inflammation, thrombogenicity, and hemodynamic changes in porcine sepsis

open access: yes, 2013
Complement and the TLR family constitute two important branches of innate immunity. We previously showed attenuating effects on inflammation and thromogenicity by inhibiting the TLR coreceptor CD14 in porcine sepsis. In the present study, we explored the

Switching to subcutaneous zilucoplan from intravenous complement component 5 inhibitors in generalised myasthenia gravis: a phase IIIb, open-label study

open access: yesTherapeutic Advances in Neurological Disorders
Background: Zilucoplan, a peptide complement component 5 (C5) inhibitor, is self-administered as a subcutaneous (SC) injection, which offers an alternative to intravenous infusion of antibody-based complement C5 inhibitors.

Development of RA101348, a Potent Cyclic Peptide Inhibitor of C5 for Complement-Mediated Diseases

open access: yesBlood, 2014
Abstract The involvement of complement in the pathogenesis of serious, life-threatening diseases underscores the importance in developing therapeutics to intervene in this cascade. Specifically, dysregulation of the complement system is central in multiple hematologic conditions.

Cell viability of microglial cells after 48 hour incubation with human complement components (C1q, C1 inhibitor, C4, C5 and C9), both individually and in combination with each other; and a human complement standard containing complement components C1q, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9 and factor B.

open access: yes, 2015
Cell viability was determined by MTT assay of cell proliferation and intracellular NAD levels (for complement standard samples). Replicates included n = 6 for cell proliferation measurements and, n = 3 for NAD concentrations.* p ≤ 0.05 vs Control,** p ...

Current status of stem cell transplantation in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria

open access: yesJournal of Applied Hematology, 2020
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a clonal, acquired hematopoietic stem cell disorder, which is caused by activation of the complement system leading to life-threatening manifestations such as hemolysis, thrombosis, and marrow failure ...

Structural basis for inhibition of complement C5 by the SSL7 protein from Staphylococcus aureus

open access: yes, 2009
Staphylococcus aureus secretes the SSL7 protein as part of its immune evasion strategy. The protein binds both complement C5 and IgA, yet it is unclear whether SSL7 cross-links these two proteins and, if so, what purpose this serves the pathogen. We have

Role of the Complement Components C5 and C3a in a Mouse Model of Myocardial Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Objective: Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. The complement system plays a major role in inflammation and tissue injury following myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R) injury.
