Deletion of complement factor H-related genes CFHR1 and CFHR3 is associated with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2007
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is associated with defective complement regulation. Disease-associated mutations have been described in the genes encoding the complement regulators complement factor H, membrane cofactor protein, factor B, and ...

Complement Factor I Promotes Progression of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 2015
The incidence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is rising worldwide. We have examined the role of complement components in the progression of cSCC. Analysis of cSCC cell lines (n=8) and normal human epidermal keratinocytes (n=11) with whole transcriptome profiling (SOLiD), quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-PCR, and western blotting

Phosphorylation of complement factor C3 in vivo [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1989
Complement factor C3, the central protein of the complement system, was found to be phosphorylated both in EDTA- and heparin-anticoagulated whole blood and in coagulating blood. Complement S protein (vitronectin) was also found to be phosphorylated under these conditions.

Influence of Glucose on Candida albicans and the Relevance of the Complement FH-Binding Molecule Hgt1 in a Murine Model of Candidiasis

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2022
Candidiasis is common in diabetic patients. Complement evasion is facilitated by binding complement factor H (FH). Since the expression of high-affinity glucose transporter 1 (Hgt1), a FH-binding molecule, is glucose-dependent, we aimed to study its ...

Complement evasion factor (CEF), a novel immune evasion factor of Streptococcus pyogenes [PDF]

open access: yesVirulence, 2022
Streptococcus pyogenes, a leading human pathogen, is responsible for a wide range of diseases, including skin and soft tissue infections and severe invasive diseases. S. pyogenes produces a large arsenal of virulence factors, including several immune evasion factors. We have identified an open reading frame (spy0136) in the S.

Inhibition of c3 convertase activity by hepatitis C virus as an additional lesion in the regulation of complement components. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
We have previously reported that in vitro HCV infection of cells of hepatocyte origin attenuates complement system at multiple steps, and attenuation also occurs in chronically HCV infected liver, irrespective of the disease stage. However, none of these

Effect of Heme Oxygenase-1 Depletion on Complement Regulatory Proteins Expression in the Rat

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Heme oxygenase has been implicated in the regulation of various immune responses including complement activation. Using a transgenic rat model of HO-1 depletion, the present study assessed the effect of HO-1 absence on the expression of complement ...
