An aptamer specifically targeting mCRP ameliorates experimental arthritis [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Translation
Background: Recent evidence highlights the important role of the liver–bone axis in the development of arthritis, particularly rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). The liver secretes various factors that impact joint health, one of which is

mCRP as a Biomarker of Adult-Onset Still’s Disease: Quantification of mCRP by ELISA

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundC-reactive protein (CRP) is a dynamic protein that undergoes conformational changes between circulating native pentameric CRP (pCRP), pentameric symmetrical forms (pCRP*) and monomeric (or modified) CRP (mCRP) forms.

The Binding of Monomeric C-Reactive Protein (mCRP) to Integrins αvβ3 and α4β1 Is Related to Its Pro-Inflammatory Action

PLoS ONE, 2014
The prototypic acute phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP) is not only a marker but also a potential contributor to inflammatory diseases. CRP exists as the circulating native, pentameric CRP (pCRP) and the monomeric isoform (mCRP), formed as a result ...

C-reactive protein dissociation drives choroidal neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and inflammation play an important role in retinal disease development and the acute phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP) has been shown to contribute to Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in vitro.

The plasma level of mCRP is linked to cardiovascular disease in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis

Arthritis Research and Therapy, 2020
Background C-reactive protein (CRP) has two natural isomers: C-reactive protein pentamer (pCRP) and C-reactive protein monomer (mCRP). The levels of CRP are significantly elevated in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated ...

Higher monomeric C-reactive protein levels are associated with premature coronary artery disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionChronic inflammation is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Currently, the inflammatory cardiovascular risk is assessed via C-reactive protein (CRP) levels measured using a high-sensitivity assay (hsCRP).

C-reactive protein conformations and their association with the IL-1β/IL-6 pathway in ocular inflammatory conditions [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionC-reactive protein (CRP) plays a critical role in the innate immune system and serves as a biomarker for various inflammatory conditions. CRP is a dynamic protein undergoing conformational changes between pentameric (pCRP) and monomeric (mCRP)

IgG4-related acute interstitial nephritis and the potential role of mCRP autoantibodies: a case report

Renal Failure, 2019
Background: IgG4-related acute tubulointerstitial nephritis is a type of autoimmune-mediated interstitial nephritis. Recently, autoantibodies against modified C-reactive protein (mCRP) were found to play a pathogenic role in renal diseases through the ...
