Important roles of C5a and C5aR in tumor development and cancer treatment
Bioengineering, School of Life Science, Anhui University, 230601
The complement system is part of the body's innate defense immune system, which can identify and eliminate invasive pathogenic microorganisms to maintain normal life activities. Complement Component 5a (C5a) is an active anaphylatoxin produced after complement system activation, closely related to tumor formation. C5a is highly expressed in a variety of tumors, and combines with its Complement Component 5a Receptor (C5aR) to increase the proliferation and migration of tumor cells. This review will comprehensively elaborate the important role of C5a/C5aR in the process of tumor genesis and development from the three aspects of signal transduction pathways related to tumor, C5a/C5aR and tumor formation, and C5a/C5aR inhibitors and tumor therapy. Finally, the principle of complement inhibition is used to inhibit tumor metastasis, reduce the rate of tumor diffusion, and control the trend of tumor deterioration.
