Here we demonstrate that C1q is deposited in wound-healing skin in the absence of C4 and C3 and that C1q mRNA is locally expressed as revealed by real-time PCR and in situ hybridization. C1q was found to induce permeability of the EC monolayer, to stimulate EC proliferation and migration, and to promote tube formation and sprouting of new vessels in a rat aortic ring assay. Using a murine model of wound healing we observed that vessel formation was defective in C1qa(-/-) mice and was restored to normal after local application of C1q. The mean vessel density of wound-healing tissue and the healed wound area were significantly increased in C1q-treated rats. On the basis of these results we suggest that C1q may represent a valuable therapeutic agent that can be used to treat chronic ulcers or other pathological conditions in which angiogenesis is impaired, such as myocardial ischemia.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24591625?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostinis, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tripodo, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gismondi, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stabile, Helena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bossi, Fleur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guarnotta, Carla</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garlanda, Cecilia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spessotto, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santoni, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghebrehiwet, Berhane</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardi, Guillermina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tedesco, Francesco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">An alternative role of C1q in cell migration and tissue remodeling: contribution to trophoblast invasion and placental development.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

We discovered that C1q was widely distributed in human decidual stroma in the absence of C4 and C3 and was actively synthesized by migrating extravillous trophoblasts. The cells expressed the messages for the three chains of C1q and secreted this complement component that interacted with the proteins of the decidual extracellular matrix. Solid phase-bound C1q promoted trophoblast adhesion and migration, and cell binding to C1q resulted in activation of ERK1/2 MAPKs. Ab inhibition experiments showed that the receptors for the globular head of C1q/p33 and α(4)β(1) integrin were both involved in this process and were colocalized on the cell surface following binding of C1q to trophoblasts. We also found that C1q(-/-) mice manifested increased frequency of fetal resorption, reduced fetal weight, and smaller litter sizes compared with wild-type mice. C1q deficiency was associated with impaired labyrinth development and decidual vessel remodeling. Collectively, these data suggest that C1q plays an important role in promoting trophoblast invasion of decidua and that defective local production of C1q may be involved in pregnancy disorders, such as pre-eclampsia, characterized by poor trophoblast invasion.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20810993?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
