COMPLEMENT SYSTEM PROTEIN C4 AND SUSCEPTIBILITY TO HYDRALAZINE-INDUCED SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS
21 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus induced by long-term treatment with hydralazine were investigated to see whether susceptibility to this syndrome was associated with deficiency of the classical pathway complement protein, C4. 16 of 21 (76%) patients had one or more C4 null (ie, non-productive) alleles compared with 35 of 82 normal subjects

Tumor microenvironment drives cancer formation and progression. We analyzed the role of human cancer‐associated adipocytes from patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) stratified as lean, overweight, or obese. RNA‐seq demonstrated that, among the most altered genes involved in the tumor–stroma crosstalk, are ADAM12 and CYP1B1, which were proven to be ...

Complement System in Dermatological Diseases – Fire Under the Skin
The complement system plays a key role in several dermatological diseases. Overactivation, deficiency, or abnormality of the control proteins are often related to a skin disease.

A C3(H20) recycling pathway is a component of the intracellular complement system [PDF]
An intracellular complement system (ICS) has recently been described in immune and nonimmune human cells. This system can be activated in a convertase-independent manner from intracellular stores of the complement component C3. The source of these stores

Large multidimensional digital images of cancer tissue are becoming prolific, but many challenges exist to automatically extract relevant information from them using computational tools. We describe publicly available resources that have been developed jointly by expert and non‐expert computational biologists working together during a virtual hackathon

The chymotrypsin-like cationic proteins of human granulocytes are shown to possess the ability to produce conversion of the complement components C1s, C4, C3, and C5 as detected by crossed immuno-electrophoresis.

The pathophysiology of the complement system in leprosy [PDF]
The complement system, which consists of a group of proteins and glycoproteins, generally serves to amplify the effects of the interaction of antigen with antibody.

Analysis of ESR1 mutations in plasma cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) is highly important for the selection of treatment in patients with breast cancer. Using multiplex‐ddPCR and identical blood draws, we investigated whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cfDNA provide similar or complementary information for ESR1 mutations.

Global protein function prediction in protein-protein interaction networks [PDF]
The determination of protein functions is one of the most challenging problems of the post-genomic era. The sequencing of entire genomes and the possibility to access gene's co-expression patterns has moved the attention from the study of single proteins or small complexes to that of the entire proteome. In this context, the search for reliable methods

Engineering novel complement activity into a pulmonary surfactant protein [PDF]
Complement neutralizes invading pathogens, stimulates inflammatory and adaptive immune responses, and targets non- or altered-self structures for clearance.
