The role of C5a receptors (C5aR1 and C5L2) in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is uncertain. We generated an in vitro model of hypoxia/reoxygenation with human proximal tubule epithelial cells to mimic some IRI events. C5aR1, membrane attack complex (MAC) and factor H (FH) deposits were evaluated with immunofluorescence. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction evaluated the expression of , genes as well as genes related to tubular injury, inflammation, and profibrotic pathways. Additionally, C5aR1 and C5L2 deposits were evaluated in kidney graft biopsies (KB) from transplant patients with delayed graft function (DGF, = 12) and compared with a control group ( = 8). We observed higher immunofluorescence expression of C5aR1, MAC and FH as higher expression of genes related to tubular injury, inflammatory and profibrotic pathways and of in the hypoxic cells; whereas, gene expression was unaffected by the hypoxic stimulus. Regarding KB, C5aR1 was detected in the apical and basal membrane of tubular epithelial cells, whereas C5L2 deposits were observed in endothelial cells of peritubular capillaries (PTC). DGF-KB showed more frequently diffuse C5aR1 staining and C5L2 compared to controls. In conclusion, C5aR1 expression is increased by hypoxia and IRI, both in vitro and in human biopsies with an acute injury. C5L2 expression in PTC could be related to endothelial cell damage during IRI.

The complement system plays crucial roles in a wide breadth of immune and inflammatory processes and is frequently cited as an etiological or aggravating factor in many human diseases, from asthma to cancer. Complement receptors encompass at least eight proteins from four structural classes, orchestrating complement-mediated humoral and cellular effector responses and coordinating the complex cross-talk between innate and adaptive immunity. The progressive increase in understanding of the structural features of the main complement factors, activated proteolytic fragments, and their assemblies have spurred a renewed interest in deciphering their receptor complexes.

The complement system is central to the rapid immune response witnessed in vertebrates and invertebrates, which plays a crucial role in physiology and pathophysiology. Complement activation fuels the proteolytic cascade, which produces several complement fragments that interacts with a distinct set of complement receptors. Among all the complement fragments, C5a is one of the most potent anaphylatoxins, which exerts solid pro-inflammatory responses in a myriad of tissues by binding to the complement receptors such as C5aR1 (CD88, C5aR) and C5aR2 (GPR77, C5L2), which are part of the rhodopsin subfamily of G-protein coupled receptors.

The complement fragment C5a is one of the most potent proinflammatory glycoproteins liberated by the activation of the biochemical cascade of the complement system. C5a is established to interact with a set of genomically related transmembrane receptors, like C5aR1 (CD88, C5aR) and C5aR2 (GPR77, C5L2) with comparable affinity. The C5aR1 is a classical G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), whereas C5aR2 is a nonclassical GPCR that tailors immune cell activity potentially through β-arrestins rather than G-proteins.

The complement activation fragment C5a is a potent proinflammatory mediator that is increasingly recognized as an immune modulator. C5a acts through two C5a receptors, C5aR1 (C5aR, CD88) and C5aR2 (C5L2, GPR77), to powerfully modify multiple aspects of immune cell function. Although C5aR1 is generally acknowledged to be proinflammatory and immune-activating, the potential roles played by C5aR2 remain poorly defined.
