Differential Role of the Lectin Pathway of Complement Activation in Susceptibility to Neonatal Sepsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background. The incidence of bacterial sepsis during the neonatal period is high. Mannan-binding lectin (MBL), L-ficolin, and H-ficolin recognize microorganisms and activate the complement system viaMBL-associated serine proteases (MASPs).

Complement activation and its prognostic role in post-cardiac arrest patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Cardiac arrest causes generalized ischemia/hypoxia, and subsequent resuscitation inflicts reperfusion injury, the pathology of which is not fully understood.

Sinapine Modulates Glycogen and Lipid Synthesis via IRS1–PI3K–AKT–GSK3β–GS Pathway in Insulin‐Resistant Models

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study combined network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vitro (HepG2) and in vivo (T2DM mice) experiments to investigate sinapine's effect on insulin resistance. Sinapine was found to modulate the IRS1–PI3K–AKT–GSK3β–GS pathway. In vitro, sinapine improved glucose uptake, enhanced glycogen synthesis, and reduced lipogenesis and ROS. In vivo,

Inefficient complement system clearance of Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclic trypomastigotes enables resistant strains to invade eukaryotic cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
The complement system is the main arm of the vertebrate innate immune system against pathogen infection. For the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, subverting the complement system and invading the host cells is crucial ...

Polymorphism in ficolin-1 (FCN1) gene is associated with an earlier onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus in children and adolescents from northeast Brazil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
10siFicolins are innate immune proteins able to activate the complement system by the lectin pathway. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of FCN1 and FCN2 genes, encoding for ficolin 1 and 2, have been related to the susceptibility to infectious and ...

Specific binding of L-ficolin and H-ficolin to apoptotic cells leads to complement activation

open access: yesImmunobiology, 2005
The serum lectins mannose-binding lectin (MBL), L-ficolin, and H-ficolin are recognition molecules in the lectin complement pathway, which play an important role in innate immunity. To assess involvement of the lectin pathway in the clearance of apoptotic cells, we used flow cytometry to quantify binding of MBL, L-ficolin, and H-ficolin to apoptotic ...

An updated molecular basis for mussel immunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Non-self recognition with the consequent tolerance or immune reaction is a crucial process to succeed as living organisms. At the same time the interactions between host species and their microbiome, including potential pathogens and parasites ...

Be on Target: Strategies of Targeting Alternative and Lectin Pathway Components in Complement-Mediated Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
The complement system has moved into the focus of drug development efforts in the last decade, since its inappropriate or uncontrolled activation has been recognized in many diseases.
