The Murine Factor H-Related Protein FHR-B Promotes Complement Activation
Factor H-related (FHR) proteins consist of varying number of complement control protein domains that display various degrees of sequence identity to respective domains of the alternative pathway complement inhibitor factor H (FH). While such FHR proteins are described in several species, only human FHRs were functionally investigated. Their biological role is still poorly understood and in part...
متن کاملFactor H-Related (FHR)-1 and FHR-2 Form Homo- and Heterodimers, while FHR-5 Circulates Only As Homodimer in Human Plasma
The complement factor H-related (FHR) proteins are hypothesized to fine-tune the regulatory role of complement factor H (FH) in the alternative pathway of the complement system. Moreover, FHR-1, FHR-2, and FHR-5 have been proposed to be dimers, which further complicates accurate analysis. As FHRs are highly similar among themselves and toward FH, obtaining specific reagents for quantification o...
متن کاملHuman Factor H-Related Protein 2 (CFHR2) Regulates Complement Activation
Mutations and deletions within the human CFHR gene cluster on chromosome 1 are associated with diseases, such as dense deposit disease, CFHR nephropathy or age-related macular degeneration. Resulting mutant CFHR proteins can affect complement regulation. Here we identify human CFHR2 as a novel alternative pathway complement regulator that inhibits the C3 alternative pathway convertase and termi...
متن کاملCathepsin H indirectly regulates morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) in various human cell lines
BACKGROUND Cathepsin H is a cysteine protease considered to play a major role in tumor progression, however, its precise function in tumorigenesis is unclear. Cathepsin H was recently proposed to be involved in processing of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4) in mice. In order to clarify whether cathepsin H also regulates BMP-4 in humans, its impact on BMP-4 expression, processing and degrada...
متن کاملالقای آپوپتوز در سلولهای K562 تحت تأثیر یکی از مشتقات خانواده 4- آریل – 4 H کرومن
لوسمی میلوئیدی مزمن (Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia: CML) یکی از انواع شایع لوسمیها است. برای درمان این بیماری ترکیبات مختلفی تاکنون برای القای تمایز و آپوپتوز ارائه شده است. ولی به دلیل مقاومت دارویی سلولهای سرطانی این ترکیبات موثر نبوده اند. یکی از ترکیباتی که خواص ضد سرطانی قوی از خود نشان میدهد خانواده کرومنها میباشند. در این مطالعه تاثیر یکی از مشتقات خانواده کرومنها، از نظر سیتوتوکسیس...
