Complement Activation in the Disease Course of Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Its Effects on Clinical Outcomes

Aline H. de Nooijer et al.

Summary: In COVID-19 patients, activation of the complement system is associated with disease severity, mortality rate, and thromboembolic events. This suggests components of the complement system could serve as potential prognostic markers and therapeutic targets in COVID-19.

Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of icatibant and C1 esterase/kallikrein inhibitor in severe COVID-19: study protocol for a three-armed randomized controlled trial

Eli Mansour et al.

Summary: This study aims to explore the mechanism of increased bradykinin in the lungs of COVID-19 patients in developing pneumonia and respiratory failure, with three arms of randomized clinical trial designed for different treatment regimens. The results of the study may help alleviate lung inflammatory response in severe COVID-19 patients, positively impacting disease severity and mortality rates.

Interleukin-6 Receptor Antagonists in Critically Ill Patients with Covid-19

Anthony C. Gordon et al.

Summary: Interleukin-6 receptor antagonists tocilizumab and sarilumab were found to improve outcomes, including survival, in critically ill patients with Covid-19 receiving organ support in ICUs according to an ongoing international trial. The efficacy of these treatments has been confirmed, with patients benefiting from the therapy.

SARS-CoV-2 suppresses anticoagulant and fibrinolytic gene expression in the lung

Alan E. Mast et al.

Summary: In COVID-19 patients, extensive fibrin deposition in the lungs and altered levels of circulating blood coagulation proteins suggest impaired local pathways that limit fibrin formation and promote clearance. Analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples revealed decreased transcriptional levels related to fibrinolysis and increased levels related to coagulation, indicating enhanced coagulation propagation and reduced fibrinolysis as drivers of lung coagulopathy in COVID-19 patients.

Complement Activation in the Central Nervous System: A Biophysical Model for Immune Dysregulation in the Disease State

Nicholas Peoples et al.

Summary: This article discusses the importance of regulating complement in the nervous system and suggests that dysregulation may lead to neurological diseases, calling for research into the mechanisms of dysregulation through biophysical and chemical principles. Additionally, it describes the potential effects of complement dysregulation on central nervous system diseases, particularly Alzheimer's Disease, and how these concepts provide new research avenues for neurodegenerative processes.

Mannose binding lectin gene 2 (rs1800450) missense variant may contribute to development and severity of COVID-19 infection

Alpay Medetalibeyoglu et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of the MBL2 gene B variant on COVID-19 patients. Results showed that patients with the BB or AB genotypes were more likely to develop severe illness and require ICU treatment. However, there was no significant difference in terms of mortality rate or secondary bacterial infections.

Complement levels at admission as a reflection of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity state

Brandon Michael Henry et al.

Summary: Complement system hyperactivation in COVID-19 patients is associated with hyperinflammation and thrombotic microangiopathy, but failed to accurately predict disease severity. Complement inhibition should be further investigated for potential benefit in patients with hyperinflammatory and microangiopathic phenotype.

The role of the lectin pathway of the complement system in SARS-CoV-2 lung injury

Mineia Alessandra Scaranello Malaquias et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the role of MBL and ficolin-3 in the complement system activation in COVID-19 patients compared to H1N1 infection and control groups. The findings showed higher tissue expression of proinflammatory cytokines in COVID-19 patients, with particular emphasis on MBL and FCN3. Additionally, certain genetic polymorphisms were associated with high MBL tissue expression in COVID-19 pulmonary samples.

Complement Overactivation and Consumption Predicts In-Hospital Mortality in SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Gyorgy Sinkovits et al.

Summary: Uncontrolled complement activation is associated with advanced disease severity of COVID-19, with patients more likely to die when accompanied by overactivation and consumption of C3. These findings support the potential use of complement inhibitory drugs in the treatment of COVID-19.

Plasma Lectin Pathway Complement Proteins in Patients With COVID-19 and Renal Disease

Nicholas R. Medjeral-Thomas et al.

Summary: This study investigated the increased susceptibility of non-white ethnicity and chronic kidney disease to COVID-19, finding that lectin pathway activation may influence the severity of the disease. Unique associations between recognition molecules of the lectin pathway and COVID-19, including severity, were identified in patients of Asian and White ethnicity.

Defective NET clearance contributes to sustained FXII activation in COVID-19-associated pulmonary thrombo-inflammation

Hanna Englert et al.

Summary: The study shows that increased expression and activity of FXII are found in lung tissues of COVID-19 patients, and NET accumulation leads to FXII contact activation. Additionally, insufficient DNase contributes to NETs accumulation, exacerbating FXII activation.

SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia and proteomic trajectories inform prognostication in COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care

Clemens Gutmann et al.

Summary: Prognostic characteristics for ICU COVID-19 patients can be determined using blood samples, with RNAemia and pentraxin-3 identified as predictors of 28-day ICU mortality. Additionally, galectin-3-binding protein is found to interact with the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein and exhibit antiviral properties.

Transcriptomic Signature Differences Between SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza Virus Infected Patients

Stephanie Bibert et al.

Summary: The dysregulated immunity in COVID-19 patients plays a key role in the severity of the disease, including defects in IFN responses, reduced toxicity-related molecules in NK cells, and increased neutrophil degranulation. Additionally, differences in gene expression patterns are also determinants of COVID-19 severity.

Lectin Pathway Mediates Complement Activation by SARS-CoV-2 Proteins

Youssif M. Ali et al.

Summary: Early and persistent complement activation is crucial in the pathogenesis of COVID-19, leading to a series of pathological events that trigger severe inflammatory responses to SARS-CoV-2. Research targeting MASP-2 suggests that the LP pathway of the complement system could offer a therapeutic window for treating severe COVID-19.

Summary: The study conducted in a hospital in Switzerland showed that the in-hospital mortality of COVID-19 patients is influenced by factors such as age, male gender, immunocompromising condition, and chronic kidney disease. Patients without comorbidities have a very low in-hospital mortality rate regardless of age.
