Clinical and functional consequences of anti‐properdin autoantibodies in patients with lupus nephritis

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Immunology, 2020
Properdin is the only positive regulator of the complement system. In this study, we characterize the prevalence, functional consequences and disease associations of autoantibodies against properdin in a cohort of patients with autoimmune disease ...

Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy: Molecular Pathogenesis and Targeted Therapy

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2025.
The future of IgAN treatment likely involves combining several therapies to target multiple disease mechanisms simultaneously. Clinical trials are ongoing to evaluate the efficacy and safety of various combinations. As our understanding of IgAN pathogenesis evolves, more targeted and personalized treatment strategies are expected to emerge.

Protective role for properdin in progression of experimental murine atherosclerosis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Genetic, dietary and immune factors contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in humans and mice. Complement activation is an integral part of the innate immune defence but also shapes cellular responses and influences directly triglyceride ...

Complement activation in Hidradenitis suppurativa: Covert low-grade inflammation or innocent bystander?

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic auto-inflammatory skin disease with a complex and multifactorial pathogenesis involving both the innate and adaptive immune system.

Short‐Term Severe Energy Restriction Promotes Molecular Health and Reverses Aging Signatures in Adults With Prediabetes in the PREVIEW Study

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2025.
Severe short‐term energy restriction in adults with prediabetes led to a significant reduction in circulating proteins linked to inflammation, senescence, and protein turnover. These changes, partly mediated by extracellular vesicles, suggest systemic dietary‐induced benefits beyond glycemic control, including improved aging biomarkers.

Synovial Complement Factors in Patients with Periprosthetic Joint Infection after Undergoing Revision Arthroplasty of the Hip or Knee Joint

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2021
The role and diagnostic value of the synovial complement system in patients with low-grade periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) are unclear. We sought to evaluate, for the first time, the usefulness of synovial complement factors in these patients by ...

Unraveling the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Complement Dysregulation by Nephritic Factors in C3G and IC-MPGN

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) was recently classified as C3 glomerulopathies (C3G), and immune-complex (IC) mediated MPGN. Dysregulation of the complement alternative pathway, driven by acquired and/or genetic defects, plays a ...

Endothelial damage and complement dysregulation in fetuses from pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page 829-838, May 2025.
Preeclampsia fetuses show an altered profile of endothelial damage and complement biomarkers, like increased adhesion molecules, prothrombotic state, oxidative stress, and reduced complement membrane attack complex deposition on endothelial cells. Abstract Introduction Our objective was to evaluate the endothelial function profile and complement system

Hybrid mass spectrometry approaches in glycoprotein analysis and their usage in scoring biosimilarity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Many biopharmaceuticals exhibit mixed heterogeneity in their post-translational modifications (PTMs) that are essential for their function. Here the authors use a combination of mass spectrometry techniques to analyse human erythropoietin (EPO) and ...

Exosome‐Mediated Lectin Pathway and Resistin‐MIF‐AA Metabolism Axis Drive Immune Dysfunction in Immune Thrombocytopenia

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 10, March 13, 2025.
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder marked by reduced platelet levels and heightened susceptibility to bleeding resulting from augmented autologous platelet destruction and diminished thrombopoiesis. It is found that the lectin pathway of the complement system, resistin, MIF, and AA metabolism may serve as promising targets for ...
