A direct role for C1 inhibitor in regulation of leukocyte adhesion.
Plasma C1 inhibitor (C1INH) is a natural inhibitor of complement and contact system proteases. Heterozygosity for C1INH deficiency results in hereditary angioedema, which is mediated by bradykinin. Treatment with plasma C1INH is effective not only in patients with hereditary angioedema, but also in a variety of other disease models, in which such therapy is accompanied by diminished neutrophil ...
متن کاملBlocking of classical complement pathway inhibits endothelial adhesion molecule expression and preserves ischemic myocardium from reperfusion injury.
Myocardial injury after ischemia (I) and reperfusion (R) is related to leukocyte activation with subsequent release of cytokines and oxygen-derived free radicals as well as complement activation. In our study, the cardioprotective effects of exogenous C1 esterase inhibitor (C1 INH) were examined in a rat model of myocardial I + R (i.e., 20 min + 24 hr or 48 hr). The C1 INH (10, 50 and 100 U/kg)...
متن کاملC1 inhibitor, a multi-functional serine protease inhibitor.
C1 inhibitor (C1INH) is a serpin that regulates both complement and contact (kallikrein-kinin) system activation. It consists of a serpin domain that is highly homologous to other serpins and an amino terminal non-serpin mucin-like domain. Deficiency of C1INH results in hereditary angioedema, a disease characterised by episodes of angioedema of the skin or the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tra...
متن کاملHuman serum-induced expression of E-selectin on porcine aortic endothelial cells in vitro is totally complement mediated.
BACKGROUND Whereas complement is a key mediator of hyperacute xenograft rejection, its role in acute vascular rejection (AVR) is a matter of controversy. AVR is associated with de novo synthesis of endothelial cell-derived inflammatory mediators, including the leukocyte-recruiting adhesion molecule E-selectin. Here we investigate the role and mechanism of complement in human serum-induced porci...
متن کاملProtein kinase C beta2-dependent phosphorylation of core 2 GlcNAc-T promotes leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion: a mechanism underlying capillary occlusion in diabetic retinopathy.
Increased leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion is a key early event in the development of retinopathy and atherogenesis in diabetic patients. We recently reported that raised activity of glycosylating enzyme [beta]1,6 acetylglucosaminyltransferase (core 2 GlcNAc-T) is responsible for increased leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and capillary occlusion in retinopathy. Here, we demonstrate that e...
