Treatment of Rare Inflammatory Kidney Diseases: Drugs Targeting the Terminal Complement Pathway

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
The complement system comprises the frontline of the innate immune system. Triggered by pathogenic surface patterns in different pathways, the cascade concludes with the formation of a membrane attack complex (MAC; complement components C5b to C9) and ...

Complement anaphylatoxin C5a contributes to hemodialysis-associated thrombosis

open access: yesBlood, 2010
AbstractThrombosis is a common complication of end-stage renal disease, particularly in patients on hemodialysis. Although substantial progress has been made in preventing thrombotic complications in various other groups of patients, the mechanisms of thrombosis during hemodialysis require clarification.

Higher Complement C4 Gene Copy Number Constitutes a Shared Genetic Risk Factor for Giant Cell Arteritis and IgA Vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

Complement activation linked to type II interferon signaling in Still disease

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Still disease (SD) is an autoinflammatory syndrome characterized by innate immune dysregulation. While complement can drive inflammation, its involvement in SD remains to be defined. Thus, we aimed to assess complement activation in SD. Methods Complement was assessed using transcriptomic, proteomic, and in vitro approaches. RNA sequencing of

Synovial Complement Factors in Patients with Periprosthetic Joint Infection after Undergoing Revision Arthroplasty of the Hip or Knee Joint

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2021
The role and diagnostic value of the synovial complement system in patients with low-grade periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) are unclear. We sought to evaluate, for the first time, the usefulness of synovial complement factors in these patients by ...

Navigating adverse immunostimulation: A practical guide for clinical researchers

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Problem Setting As drug development moves towards more complex products, early clinical development programmes are increasingly hampered by unwanted and/or unexpected activation of the immune system (adverse immune stimulation, AIS). Solution At the Centre for Human Drug Research, we have introduced standardized procedures to make AIS manageable, while

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Targeting neutrophil extracellular traps in metabolic and immune niche: Nanomaterials for diabetes tissue regeneration

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The effects of NETs on regeneration of various diabetic tissues, and strategies targeting NETs for diabetes tissue regeneration. In the diabetic environment, NETs undergo complex metabolic and immune reprogramming, leading to dynamic changes in antibacterial and proinflammatory functions, and affecting regeneration of multiple systemic tissues.

Targeting C3a and C5a Signaling—A Game Changer for Cancer Therapy?

open access: yesBiology
Emerging evidence reveals a significant shift in understanding the complement system’s role in cancer, where activation of a complement within the tumor microenvironment (TME) fuels tumor growth and metastasis instead of suppressing it.

Harnessing blood clot as a native scaffold for orchestrating tissue repairs and regeneration

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The blood clot, owing to its dynamic composition and unique microenvironment, holds significant yet underappreciated potential for tissue engineering. This review systematically summarizes the pathophysiology of clot formation, the key regulatory factors shaping its microenvironment, and its applications in both pre‐clinical and clinical settings ...
