Background: Complement C3
Both elevated levels and reduced levels of Complement C3 has been implicated in diseases pathologies (6). Deficiency in Complement proteins can result in autoimmune disorders including systemic lupus erythematosus, which is more often associated with C1 or C4 deficiency and only rarely with C3 deficiency (6). However, C3 deficiency typically results in increased risk of recurrent bacterial infections and glomerulonephritis, characterized by inflammation of the filtering glomeruli in the kidneys (6). Additionally, elevated levels of C3a and C4a is seen in patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (6). Serum levels of C3 are also higher in rheumatoid arthritis cases (6). The complement system has become a target for drugs and therapeutics aimed at modulating innate immunity (7). For instance, compstatin is a peptide that binds to C3, inhibiting convertase activity and cleavage and can be used to treat diseases associated with uncontrolled C3 activation (7). C3-inhibitors and other complement inhibitors are a promising drug candidate for treatment of many diseases (7).
