Reduced serum levels of autoantibodies against monomeric C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with acute coronary syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesClinica Chimica Acta, 2009
Inflammation is pivotal in atherosclerosis. Minor C-reactive protein (CRP) response reflects low-grade vascular inflammation and the high-sensitivity CRP test with levels > or = 3.0 mg/l predicts coronary vascular events and survival in angina pectoris as well as in healthy subjects. We and others recently reported autoantibodies against monomeric CRP (

Extracellular vesicles opsonized by monomeric C-reactive protein (CRP) are accessible as autoantigens in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and associate with autoantibodies against CRP

open access: yesJournal of Autoimmunity, 2023
The pentraxin C-reactive protein (CRP) is a pentameric protein now known to be able to undergo dissociation into a monomeric, modified isoform, referred to as mCRP. In carefully assessing the bioactivities of each isoform, mCRP has strong pro-inflammatory activities while pCRP has mild anti-inflammatory activities. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is

C-reactive protein (CRP) aptamer binds to monomeric but not pentameric form of CRP [PDF]

open access: yesAnalytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2011
Native C-reactive protein (CRP) is composed of five identical subunits arranged in a pentameric structure (pCRP). Binding of pCRP to damaged cell membranes produces a second isoform, modified CRP, which has similar antigenicity to isolated monomeric subunits of CRP (mCRP).

Association of monomeric C-Reactive Protein (m-CRP) with hypothalamic neurons after CRP hippo-campal administration in a model of dementia.

open access: yesEuropean Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences, 2022
The ensuing ischemia due to the disruption of blood supply to the brain is one of the most common causes of stroke. Evidence suggests a clear association of the ischemic injury with vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD). In response to the brain ischemia, a cascade reaction starts leading to neuronal damage due to oxidative stress and other ...

Increased monomeric CRP levels in acute myocardial infarction: A possible new and specific biomarker for diagnosis and severity assessment of disease

Atherosclerosis, 2015
Monomeric CRP (mCRP) plays an important role in the process of atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Recently, it has been reported that mCRP was associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).The aim of this study was to examine whether mCRP is increased in AMI patients and to investigate the possibility of using circulating mCRP as a biomarker for AMI ...

Monomeric CRP contributes to complement control in fluid phase and on cellular surfaces and increases phagocytosis by recruiting factor H [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death and Differentiation, 2009
Complement forms the first defense line of innate immunity and has an important role in the non-inflammatory clearance of apoptotic and necrotic cells. Factor H is one essential complement inhibitor that binds to the acute phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP).
