Pertussis Toxin-sensitive Activation of Phospholipase C by the C5a and fMet-Leu-Phe Receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Signal transduction pathways that mediate C5a and fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-induced pertussis toxin (PTx)-sensitive activation of phospholipase C (PLC) have been investigated using a cotransfection assay system in COS-7 cells.

Nociceptive sensitization by complement C5a and C3a in mouse [PDF]

open access: yesPain, 2010
Activation of the complement system by injury increases inflammation by producing complement fragments C5a and C3a which are able to recruit and activate immune cells. Complement activation may contribute to pain after inflammation and injury. In this study, we examined whether C5a and C3a elicit nociception when injected into mouse hind paws in vivo ...

Regulatory effects of C5a on IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-23

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2013
The complement anaphylatoxin, C5a, through binding to its receptors (C5aR or C5L2), has important biological properties for recruitment and activation of phagocytes.

An Inflammation-Centric View of Neurological Disease: Beyond the Neuron [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018

Antimicrobial peptides and complement in neonatal hypoxia-ischemia induced brain damage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a clinical condition in the neonate, resulting from oxygen deprivation around the time of birth. HIE affects 1-5/1000 live births worldwide and is associated with the development of neurological deficits ...

Cell-free IgG-aggregates in plasma of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia cause chronic activation of the classical complement pathway.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Therapy regimens for Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) commonly include chemotherapy and immunotherapy, which act through complement-mediated-cytotoxicity (CDC) and other mechanisms.

Complement C3a and C5a receptor blockade modulates regulatory T cell conversion in head and neck cancer

open access: yesJournal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2021
Background Resistance to therapy is a major problem in treating head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Complement system inhibition has been shown to reduce tumor growth, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance in other tumor models, but has yet ...

Complement and cytokine response in acute Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Complement dysregulation is key in the pathogenesis of atypical Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (aHUS), but no clear role for complement has been identified in Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP).

Complement Dysregulation in Obese Versus Nonobese Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients

open access: yesCells, 2023
Introduction: Upregulation of complement system factors are reported to be increased in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and may be due to obesity and insulin resistance rather than inherently due to PCOS.
