Migration and proliferation of aortic endothelial cells (AEC) are critical processes involved in angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, and postangioplasty restenosis. Activation of complement and assembly of the C5b-9 complement complex have been implicated

Complement activation is involved in the initiation of inflammation and antibody-mediated demyelination in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). We investigated the role of MAC in apoptosis in myelin-induced EAE in complement C5-deficient

Sublytic C5b-9 alters the molecular phenotype of myotubes by inhibiting muscle-specific gene expression. Here, we showed that C5b-9 induced c-fos mRNA and transcription. Using c-fos promoter-CAT constructs and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EM

Activation of the classical complement system is known to play a central role in autoimmune demyelination. We have analyzed the role of complement component C5 in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) using C5-deficient (C5-d) and C5-suffic

Proliferation of aortic smooth muscle cells contributes to atherogenesis and neointima formation. Sublytic activation of complement, particularly C5b-9, induces cell cycle progression in aortic smooth muscle cells. RGC-32 is a novel protein that may

Apoptosis of oligodendrocytes is induced by serum growth factor deprivation. We showed that oligodendrocytes and progenitor cells respond to serum withdrawal by a rapid decline of Bcl-2 mRNA expression and caspase-3-dependent apoptotic death. Sublyti

Summary: Assembly of C5b-9 on cell membranes results in transmembrane channels and causes cell death. When the number of C5b-9 molecules is limited, nucleated cells are able to escape cell death by endocytosis and by shedding of membranes bearing C5b

Interferons and chemokines play a critical role in regulating the host response to viral infection. Measles virus, a member of the Paramyxoviridae family, induces RANTES expression by astrocytes. We have examined the mechanism of this induction in U3

Sublytic complement activation on oligodendrocytes (OLG) down-regulates expression of myelin genes and induces cell cycle in culture. Differential display (DD) was used to search for new genes whose expression is altered in response to complement and
