Summary
[Homo sapiens] PTX3 is a multifunctional soluble molecule involved in inflammation and innate immunity. It is a unique factor H (FH) ligand in that it can bind both of the two hot-spots of FH and can participate in the localization of functionally active FH.
[Homo sapiens] PTX3, an essential component of humoral innate immunity, and immunoglobulins share functional outputs, including complement activation, opsonization and glycosylation-dependent regulation of inflammation.
[Homo sapiens] PTX3, an inflammation-associated long pentraxin, plays key roles in innate immunity, female fertility and vascular biology. PTX3 octamer contains two fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) binding sites and this quaternary organization is required for the anti-angiogenic function of PTX3.
[Homo sapiens] PTX3 is produced by innate immunity cells (e.g. PMN, macrophages, dendritic cells) and it interacts with several ligands to play an essential role in innate immunity, tuning inflammation and matrix deposition. PTX3 provides a paradigm for the mode of action of humoral innate immunity.
[Homo sapiens] PTX3, serum amyloid P component (SAP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) belong to the pentraxin family of pattern recognition molecules involved in tissue homeostasis and innate immunity. PTX3 heterocomplexes with mannose-binding lectin (MBL) to trigger cross-activation of the complement system.
[Homo sapiens] PTX3 production is up-regulated in response to serum amyloid A, and contributes to the inflammatory pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
[Homo sapiens] FCN3 and PTX3 are soluble oligomeric pattern-recognition molecules that interact with each other and act synergistically to activate the lectin complement pathway.
[Homo sapiens] PTX3 forms a complex with components of neutrophil extracellular traps in septic patients.
[Homo sapiens] Sputum PTX3 level are lower in cystic fibrosis patients due to proteolytic cleavage by Aspergillus fumigatus.
[Homo sapiens] PTX3 acts as an extrinsic oncosuppressor gene by regulating Complement-dependent, macrophage-sustained, tumor-promoting inflammation.
[Homo sapiens] PTX3 plays a non-redundant protective role in orchestrating tissue repair and remodeling by interacting with fibrin and plasminogen.
[Mus musculus] Ptx3 production is up-regulated in response to serum amyloid A, and contributes to the inflammatory pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. (Demonstrated in human)
[Mus musculus] Ptx3 forms a complex with components of neutrophil extracellular traps in septic patients. (Demonstrated in human)
[Mus musculus] Ptx3 acts as an extrinsic oncosuppressor gene by regulating Complement-dependent, macrophage-sustained, tumor-promoting inflammation.
