Comparative proteomic analysis of kidneys from C3‐/‐ and C5‐/‐ rats following ischemia‐reperfusion injury (IRI) reveals diverse range of renal injury and repair mechanisms. C3 knockout enhanced mitochondrial, metabolic, and purine pathways while suppressing immune and extracellular matrix programs. In contrast, C5 absences affected extracellular matrix

Expression and Role of Anaphylatoxin Receptors on Human Colonic Epithelial Cells
Human colonic epithelial cell lines (T84, Caco2 and HT-29) were used to address the question of whether intestinal epithelial cells can detect and respond to activated complement via the anaphylatoxin receptors, considering the gut is host to large ...

Decoding Undesirable Inflammatory Responses of Nucleic Acid‐Delivering Lipid Nanoparticles
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) enable efficient nucleic acid delivery, but their immunogenicity is a double‐edged sword. This review explores LNP‐driven innate and adaptive immunity, covering lipid components, endosomal escape, and nucleic acid sensing.

Evaluation of the C5a anaphylatoxin and its receptor (CD88) in allergic lung disease
Allergic asthma is characterized by airflow obstruction, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and chronic airway inflammation. We and others have reported that complement component C3 and the anaphylatoxin C3a receptor promote while C5 protects against the ...

Pathophysiological mechanisms of disease severity in COVID-19: An update
The pandemic of COVID-19 has created a confounding global health crisis with more than 25 million cases and 870,000 deaths worldwide. The novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, exploits the human ACE2 receptor and potential CD147 to invade a plethora of organ ...

Background The EGFR is abundantly expressed in prostate cancer (PC). The anaphylatoxin C5a induces leukocyte migration via the C5a receptor (C5aR) by releasing matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) to favor metastasis in the tumor microenvironment.

Expression of C5a receptor in mouse brain: Role in signal transduction and neurodegeneration
In this study we explored the potential role of the complement derived anaphylatoxin C5a and the expression of its receptor in mouse brain. Using in situ hybridization, we found that C5a receptor messenger RNA is expressed in mouse brain.

Different sensitivities of the responses of human neutrophils stimulated with immune complex and C5a anaphylatoxin to pertussis toxin [PDF]
When stimulated with immune complex or C5a anaphylatoxin, human neutrophils undergo an increase in the concentration of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) that precedes the onset of superoxide (O−2) production.

A proton nuclear magnetic resonance study of the conformation of bovine anaphylatoxin C5a in solution [PDF]
The solution conformation of bovine anaphylatoxin C5a has been investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The 1H-NMR spectrum is assigned in a sequential manner using a variety of two-dimensional NMR techniques.

Experimental design of complement component 5a-induced acute lung injury (C5a-ALI): a role of CC-chemokine receptor type 5 during immune activation by anaphylatoxin [PDF]
Excessive activation of the complement system is detrimental in acute inflammatory disorders. In this study, we analyzed the role of complement‐derived anaphylatoxins in the pathogenesis of experimental acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress ...
