Dopełniacz C5a human jest ważnym końcowym składnikiem kaskady dopełniacza. Jest bezpośrednim mediatorem stanu zapalnego i został zidentyfikowany jako nowy biomarker bólu i stanu zapalnego po operacji
Działania biochem./fizjol.
A mixture of C5a (~35%) and C5a having an added methionyl residue at the amino terminus (~65%); exhibits biological activities similar to serum-derived C5a. C5a is a (11.2kDa) proteolytic fragment of the C5 α-chain through the action of C5 convertases in the classical and alternative complement pathway (C4b2a4b, C3bBb3b). C5a is an anaphylatoxin. It acts as an inflammatory chemoattractant. C5a stimulation of human neutrophils leads to STAT3 phosphorylation on Ser727. It mediates IL-8 release from bronchial epithelial cells. C5a anaphylatoxin activity on hepatocytes results indirectly from interaction with nonparenchymal cell via prostanoid secretion.
C5a, in addition to being a direct mediator of inflammation, can induce both IL-8 (interleukin-8) synthesis and high levels of IL-8 release from monocytes. This secondary effect serves as an amplification mechanism for inflammation at sites of infection or trauma. C5a exerts its effect through a G-protein coupled receptor, CD88.

We investigated how complement activation promotes tissue injury and organ dysfunction during acute inflammation. Three models of acute lung injury (ALI) induced by LPS, IgG immune complexes, or C5a were used in C57BL/6 mice, all models requiring availability of both

Obese adipose tissue (AT) inflammation contributes critically to development of insulin resistance. The complement anaphylatoxin C5a receptor (C5aR) has been implicated in inflammatory processes and as regulator of macrophage activation and polarization. However, the role of C5aR in obesity and
Placental malaria (PM) is a major cause of fetal growth restriction, yet the underlying mechanism is unclear. Complement C5a and C5a receptor levels are increased with PM. C5a is implicated in fetal growth restriction in non-infection-based animal models. In a

The host immune response plays an important role in the onset and progression of cerebral malaria (CM). The complement system is an essential component of the innate immune response to malaria, and its activation generates the anaphylatoxin C5a. To test

Microglial cells are activated in response to brain insults; the mechanisms of this process are not yet understood. One of the important signaling mechanisms that might be involved in microglia activation is related to changes in the intracellular calcium concentration
