Abstract

The two receptors for the anaphylatoxin C5a are critically involved in the recruitment of immune cells and activate these cells at sites of inflammation. The pro-inflammatory function of C5aR1 in these processes is well established, whereas the functional properties of the second C5a receptor, C5aR2, in inflammation remain enigmatic. We recently reported a pro-inflammatory contribution of C5aR2 to the pathogenesis of the prototypical autoimmune skin blistering disease epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA). Deficiency of C5aR2 ameliorated the disease phenotype in an antibody transfer model of EBA and reduced neutrophil migration and activation in vitro. Here, we discuss not only these data, but the crosstalk of C5aR2 with Fcγ receptors, and the effect of C5adesArg stimulation on neutrophils. In addition, we highlight the cellular location of C5aR2, its functional dependence on concomitant C5aR1 expression, and its importance for therapeutic strategies targeting the C5a receptor pathways in neutrophil-mediated diseases.

Multiple Myeloma with Neutrophilia: Two Etiologic Pathways for a Rare Presentation of a Common Diagnosis

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a common hematologic malignancy, with 32,110 new cases diagnosed in the United States in 2019, resulting in 12,960 deaths. While neutrophilia
is also a common entity, it most often arises secondary to other etiologies, such as infection or inflammatory processes. 

The Importance of C5aR2 in Neutrophil Function and Its Impact on Neutrophil-mediated Diseases

C5aR2 serves as the second receptor for the anaphylatoxin C5a. It was identified about 10 years after identification of the first cognate receptor, C5aR1. Initially, C5aR2 was considered a mere decoy receptor for C5a. According to this view, its function was to scavenge excess C5a from C5aR1 and thereby exert anti-inflammatory effects. However, this initial view of C5aR2 had been oversimplified.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are a group of cancers that affect various parts of the head and neck, such as the lip, oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and nasopharynx. In India, it accounts for approximately 30–40% of all cancers, while in the United States, it represents around 4% of all cancer cases. HNSCC is a significant contributor to cancer-related deaths globally. While smoking is linked to HNSCC
