Role of Ischemic Preconditioning in the Cardioprotective Mechanisms of Monomeric C-Reactive Protein-Deposited Myocardium in a Rat Model

Journal of Chest Surgery, 2021
Background: The deposition of monomeric C-reactive protein (mCRP) in the myocardium aggravates ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and myocardial infarction. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is known to protect the myocardium against IRI.

The Cholesterol-Binding Sequence in Monomeric C-Reactive Protein Binds to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Receptor-Binding Domain and Blocks Interaction With Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) binds to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, which is a prerequisite for the virus to enter the cell. C-reactive

mCRP specifically binds to αvβ3, but pCRP less efficiently binds to the integrin.

, 2014
Wells of 96 well microtiter plate were coated with mCRP or pCRP and remaining protein-binding sites were blocked with BSA. a) ELISA-type integrin binding assay.

Monomeric C-reactive protein affects cell injury and apoptosis through activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in human coronary artery endothelial cells

Biomolecules & Biomedicine, 2020
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an important predictor of cardiovascular events and plays a role in vascular inflammation and vessel damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pentameric CRP (pCRP) and monomeric CRP (mCRP) on the ...

Docking simulation predicts that mCRP binds to integrin αvβ3 but pCRP does not.

, 2014
a) The headpiece of integrin αvβ3 (PDB code 1LG5) was used as a target. The docking model predicts that mCRP (red) binds to the RGD-binding site of the integrin αvβ3 headpiece (green and blue). Amino acid residues involved in αvβ3-mCRP interaction are in

Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome in children: What to keep an eye on

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 4, Page e443-e452, June 2026.
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the disease course in patients with tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome, focusing on long‐term outcome and the incidence of complications such as chronic kidney disease (CKD).

CRP Deficiency Rescues Periodontitis‐Induced Hippocampal Neurogenesis Impairment by Suppressing OPC‐Derived BMP4 Signaling in Rats

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 30, 28 May 2026.
Chronic periodontitis elevates circulating CRP, which enters the hippocampus to upregulate BMP4 in oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), thereby impairing neurogenesis and inducing anxiety/depression‐like behaviors in rats. Counteracting this pathway, CRP deficiency helps confer functional resilience to OPCs.

Monomeric C-Reactive Protein: Current Perspectives for Utilization and Inclusion as a Prognostic Indicator and Therapeutic Target

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Monomeric C-reactive protein (mCRP), once thought to be a figment of the imagination and whose biological activity was ascribed to its sodium azide preservative, has now pronounced itself as a critical molecule playing a direct role in mediating many of ...

mCRP, and less efficiently pCRP, specifically bind to α4β1.

, 2014
a). Adhesion of α4-CHO cells to CRP isoforms. Wells of 96 well microtiter plate were coated with mCRP or pCRP and remaining protein-binding sites were blocked with BSA.
