Properdin: emerging roles of a pattern-recognition molecule

Annual Review of Immunology
Claudia KemperDennis E Hourcade

Abstract

Complement is an innate immune system that is a first line of defense against pathogens and facilitates elimination of apoptotic and injured cells. During complement activation, the complement convertases are assembled on target surfaces and initiate their proteolytic activities, a process that marks targets for phagocytosis and/or lysis. The complement alternative activation pathway has been implicated in a number of autoimmune conditions including arthritis and age-related macular degeneration. Properdin, a plasma component that is also released by activated neutrophils, is critical in the stabilization of alternative pathway convertases. Recently, it has been shown that properdin is also a pattern-recognition molecule that binds to certain microbial surfaces, apoptotic cells, and necrotic cells. Once bound to a surface, properdin can direct convertase formation and target uptake. New studies are now focusing on a role for properdin in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This review examines the new properdin findings and their implications.

Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity

Antibody-dependent cellular toxicity refers to the lysis of a target cell by a non-sensitized effector cell of the immune system as a result of antibodies binding to the target cell membrane and engaging the Fc receptors on the immune effector cells. Find the latest research on antibody-dependent cellular toxicity here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Alternative Complement Pathway

The Alternative Complement Pathway is part of the innate immune system, and activation generates membrane attack complexes that kill pathogenic cells. Discover the latest research on the Alternative Complement Pathway.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
