Background: Complement C3a
The C3a/C3aR pathway is often referred to as a "double-edged sword" because it has both anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory functions (2,3). For instance, its anti-inflammatory role includes pathogen elimination and reduced interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) expression and cytotoxicity in natural killer cells (2). By contrast, complement C3a is an anaphylatoxin and plays a role in inflammation by prompting histamine release from mast cells and increasing permeability of the vascular system (2-4). The C3a/C3aR pathway has also been indicated in a number of diseases including Alzheimer's disease, asthma, and kidney disease (3). Patients with various kidney diseases tend to show higher levels of complement C3a in the plasma and urine (3).
