Human C1qRp is identical with CD93 and the mNI-11 antigen but does not bind C1q.
It has been suggested that the human C1qRp is a receptor for the complement component C1q; however, there is no direct evidence for an interaction between C1q and C1qRp. In this study, we demonstrate that C1q does not show enhanced binding to C1qRp-transfected cells compared with control cells. Furthermore, a soluble recombinant C1qRp-Fc chimera failed to interact with immobilized C1q. The prop...
متن کاملCD93 is Selectively Expressed on Human Myeloma Cells but Not on B Lymphocytes
Background: CD93 has originally been known as a C1q receptor, and many studies have demonstrated that CD93 is expressed on hematopoietic stem cells, B cell progenitors, myeloid and monocytic cells. Moreover, CD93 is shown to be expressed on long-lived plasma cells, and CD93 deficient-mice display an impairment in plasma cell development. Objective: To investiga...
متن کاملMurine CD93 (C1qRp) contributes to the removal of apoptotic cells in vivo but is not required for C1q-mediated enhancement of phagocytosis.
Human CD93 (known as C1qRp) has been shown to be a phagocytic receptor involved in the in vitro C1q-dependent enhancement of phagocytosis. However, binding of CD93 to C1q and its function remain controversial. In this study, we have generated CD93-deficient mice (CD93(-/-)) to investigate its biological role(s). The CD93(-/-) mice were viable and showed no gross abnormalities in their developme...
متن کاملStructure-function studies of the receptors for complement C1q.
C1q is an essential component of the phylogenetically ancient innate complement (C) system and is crucial to our natural ability to ward off infection and clear toxic cell debris (e.g. amyloid fibrils, apoptotic cells). Several candidate C1q receptors [C1q receptor for phagocytosis enhancement (C1qRp), complement receptor (CR) 1, calreticulin (CRT), binding protein for the globular head of C1q ...
متن کاملSoluble CD93 Is Involved in Metabolic Dysregulation but Does Not Influence Carotid Intima-Media Thickness
Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease are complex disorders involving metabolic and inflammatory mechanisms. Here we investigated whether sCD93, a group XIV c-type lectin of the endosialin family, plays a role in metabolic dysregulation or carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). Although no association was observed between sCD93 and IMT, sCD93 levels were significantly lower in subjects with...
