Human umbilical vein endothelial cells synthesize functional C3, C5, C6, C8 and C9 in vitro.

Abstract:

:Human endothelial cells (EC), cultured serum-free, synthesize de novo protein which increasingly bind to agarose beads (an alternative pathway activator), until a plateau phase is reached after 24-48 h. EC synthesize functional C3, C5, C6, C8 and C9, which were detected on co-cultured agarose beads, using relevant polyclonal anti-complement antibodies. Two monoclonal anti-C9 neoepitope antibodies (aE11, poly C9-MA) bound to the co-cultured beads, showing that the terminal complement complex (TCC) (C5b-9) was assembled on the beads. This also suggests that C7 is synthesized. There seems to be a positive correlation between the amount of agarose-bound labelled protein and agarose-bound complement. The results indicate that EC produce and secrete the components for the functional alternative and terminal pathways of complement.
