摘 要:摘 要:补体系统是机体免疫防御机制的重要组成部分,参与免疫识别和防御。近年来,系统研究发现补体除免疫调节外,还具有参与生殖发育、成骨、组织和器官再生等重要生理机能的作用。多项研究报道了补体活化和各种肝损伤/ 再生的关系,对此进行综述,以期促进对补体多样性功能的了解。
Abstract: Abstract: Complement system is known as highly sophisticated immune defense mechanism and effector arm in host defense against serial infectious agents, such as cellular debris, apoptotic cells and foreign intruders. For recent decades, the traditional perception of complement in immunity has been drastically challenged by accumulating evidence for novel and unexpected functions. Generally, complement is now known to be involved in metabolism, reproduction, osteogenesis, tissue regeneration and stem cell biology, etc. In this review, recent discoveries are referred to discuss the previously under-appreciated role of complement in liver regeneration induced by various pathogens. The unintegrated effect of complement on regeneration priming and pro-inflammation modulates the balance between liver regeneration and injury, which determines the pathological process.
