This study aimed to elucidate the role and mechanisms of Complement C5a receptor 1 (C5AR1) in driving the malignant progression of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). C5AR1 expression was assessed in ATC tissues and cell lines. Functional assays evaluated the effects of C5AR1 knockdown on the malignant features of ATC cells. The interaction between C5AR1 and miR-335-5p was confirmed using a luciferase reporter assay and Fluorescence in situ hybridization, and the impact of C5AR1 knockdown on the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 1/2 signaling pathway was examined. In vivo studies evaluated the effects of C5AR1 modulation on tumor growth and metastasis. C5AR1 levels were elevated in ATC tumor samples and associated with poor survival in ATC patients. C5AR1 knockdown impeded ATC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. MiR-335-5p was identified as an upstream regulator of C5AR1, which negatively modulates C5AR1 expression. C5AR1 knockdown diminished TLR1, TLR2, and myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88) levels, while C5AR1 overexpression activated this pathway. Blocking TLR1/2 signaling abrogated the oncogenic effects of C5AR1 overexpression. C5AR1 silencing inhibited tumor growth and lung metastasis of ATC cells in nude mice. C5AR1 contributes to ATC tumorigenesis and metastasis by activating the TLR1/2 pathway, and is negatively regulated by miR-335-5p. Targeting the miR-335-5p/C5AR1/TLR1/2 axis represents a potential therapeutic strategy for ATC.

Background: Ischemic stroke (IS) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Herein, we aimed to identify novel biomarkers and explore the role of C-type lectin domain family 7 member A () in IS.
Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened using the GSE106680, GSE97537, and GSE61616 datasets, and hub genes were identified through construction of protein-protein interaction networks.

Unlabelled: Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is a common small RNA virus that is highly neuroinvasive. Emerging evidence indicates that the complement fragment C5a and its receptor C5aR1 are important drivers of neuroinflammation. However, the potential role of the C5a-C5aR1 axis in EV-A71 encephalitis remains largely elusive.

Article Synopsis
- Glioblastoma (GBM) is a common and aggressive brain tumor, and recent studies emphasize the importance of ferroptosis as a treatment strategy.
- * Researchers found that the Complement C5a receptor 1 (C5aR1) is upregulated in glioma tissue and linked to poor patient prognosis.
- * C5aR1 promotes GBM progression by inhibiting ferroptosis, stabilizing the antiferroptotic factor GPX4, and through the activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, making it a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

Article Synopsis
- Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play a crucial role in the immune response, but the processes behind their formation, known as NETosis, are not fully understood.
- This study investigates the downregulation of two G-protein coupled receptors, C5aR1 and LTB4R1, in neutrophils from low birth weight newborns and how they affect NET formation.
- Using various laboratory techniques, researchers confirmed that inhibiting these receptors reduced extracellular DNA release and proteins associated with NETs, highlighting their importance in the regulation of NETosis.
