Methylprednisolone inhibits the alternative and amplification pathways of complement [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1982 Methylprednisolone sodium succinate limited the ability of zymosan or lipopolysaccharide to activate complement in normal serum by the alternative amplification pathways. Methylprednisolone limited B consumption in a reaction mixture which contained purified C3b, D, and B, indicating that soluble steroid directly inhibited the amplification pathway ...

Ubiquitination of transcription factors in cancer: unveiling therapeutic potential
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In cancer, dysregulated ubiquitination of transcription factors contributes to the uncontrolled growth and survival characteristics of tumors. Tumor suppressors are degraded by aberrant ubiquitination, or oncogenic transcription factors gain stability through ubiquitination, thereby promoting tumorigenesis.

Activation of the Alternative Complement Pathway by Fungal Melanins [PDF]
Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 2002 ABSTRACTMelanins are complex biological pigments formed by the oxidative polymerization of phenolic and/or indolic compounds. These pigments have been implicated in the pathogenesis of some microbial infections, malignancies, degenerative disorders, and autoimmune diseases.

The role of the alternative pathway of complement activation in glomerular diseases
Clinical and Experimental Medicine (Testo stampato), 2018 The complement system (CS) has recently been recognized as a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity that constitutes a very complex mechanism controlling the clearance of pathogens, cellular debris, and immune complexes.

Activation of the alternative complement pathway by Sporothrix schenckii [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1986 We studied the activation of complement by Sporothrix schenckii yeast cells. Total complement activity, and the effect of various activators on this activity, were assayed on aliquots of fresh nonimmune human serum with and without prior treatment with chelators.

Loss of proton‐sensing GPR4 reduces tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.G protein‐coupled receptor 4 (GPR4) is a pH‐sensing receptor activated by acidic pH. GPR4 expression is increased in patients with inflammatory bowel disease who are at high risk of developing colorectal cancer. In mouse models, loss of GPR4 attenuated tumor progression. This correlated with increased IL2 and natural killer cell activity.
