Complement and Coagulation System Crosstalk in Synaptic and Neural Conduction in the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems

Abstract

Complement and coagulation are both key systems that defend the body from harm. They share multiple features and are similarly activated. They each play individual roles in the systemic circulation in physiology and pathophysiology, with significant crosstalk between them. Components from both systems are mapped to important structures in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). Complement and coagulation participate in critical functions in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. During pathophysiological states, complement and coagulation factors are upregulated and can modulate synaptic transmission and neuronal conduction. This review summarizes the current evidence regarding the roles of the complement system and the coagulation cascade in the CNS and PNS. Possible crosstalk between the two systems regarding neuroinflammatory-related effects on synaptic transmission and neuronal conduction is explored. Novel treatment based on the modulation of crosstalk between complement and coagulation may perhaps help to alleviate neuroinflammatory effects in diseased states of the CNS and PNS.

A new prognostic model for GBM based on coagulation-related genes

“…In order to defend the body from harm, complement and coagulation play an important role. Each plays a different role in physiology and pathophysiology of the systemic circulation, but their functions are interconnected [34]. SERPINA5 regulates hemostasis and thrombosis across multiple organs.…”

Blood-nerve barrier disruption and coagulation system activation induced by mechanical compression injury participate in the peripheral sensitization of trigeminal neuralgia

“…Double immunofluorescence staining confirmed the colocalization of PAR1 and GFAP in the central part of the TREZ, which suggests that PAR1 might mediate astrocyte activation during the pathogenesis of TN. A previous study reported that perinodal astrocytes regulate the proteolysis of NF155 by thrombin via PN-1 secretion (Berkowitz et al, 2021). In addition, a variety of glial cells, including astrocytes, normally insert themselves into the nodes of Ranvier to regulate structural plasticity and signal conduction (Serwanski et al, 2017;Jha et al, 2019;Li et al, 2020).…”

Understanding the contextual functions of C1q and LAIR-1 and their applications

“…In the brain, C1q is required for normal neuronal maturation, as it directs microglia to synapses to be eliminated in the process of synaptic pruning [49][50][51] . C1q expression is upregulated in neuronal injury and early in neurodegenerative disorders such as AD.…”
