Abstract
C3 is the central effector molecule of the complement system, mediating its multiple functions through different binding sites and their corresponding receptors. We will introduce the C3 forms (native C3, C3 [H2 O], and intracellular C3), the C3 fragments C3a, C3b, iC3b, and C3dg/C3d, and the C3 expression sites. To highlight the important role that C3 plays in human biological processes, we will give an overview of the diseases linked to C3 deficiency and to uncontrolled C3 activation. Next, we will present a structural description of C3 activation and of the C3 fragments generated by complement regulation. We will proceed by describing the C3a interaction with the anaphylatoxin receptor, followed by the interactions of opsonins (C3b, iC3b, and C3dg/C3d) with complement receptors, divided into two groups: receptors bearing complement regulatory functions and the effector receptors without complement regulatory activity. We outline the molecular architecture of the receptors, their binding sites on the C3 activation fragments, the cells expressing them, the diversity of their functions, and recent advances. With this review, we aim to give an up-to-date analysis of the processes triggered by C3 activation fragments on different cell types in health and disease contexts.

Abstract
The complement system is an important part of innate immunity and plays an essential role in immune responses. Complement system consists of a series of proteins, its activation results in opsonization and phagocytosis of pathogens. Although the complement system has been studied extensively in vertebrates, considerably less is known about complement in invertebrates, especially in sea cucumber. Here, we reviewed the complement-like factors including Component 3 (C3), Complement factor B (Bf), Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) and globular Complement component 1q Receptor (gC1qR), which had been found in the complement system of sea cucumber. Furthermore, we compared the features of complement components among marine invertebrates and described the evolution of sea cucumber complement system obviously. This review can offer theoretical basis for disease control of the sea cucumber and will provide new insights into immune system of marine invertebrates. Meantime, the complete framework of sea cucumber complement may benefit the aquaculture industry.

Abstract
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an epithelial malignancy with a unique geographical distribution. The genomic abnormalities leading to NPC pathogenesis remain unclear. In total, 135 NPC tumors were examined to characterize the mutational landscape using whole-exome sequencing and targeted resequencing. An APOBEC cytidine deaminase mutagenesis signature was revealed in the somatic mutations. Noticeably, multiple loss-of-function mutations were identified in several NF-κB signaling negative regulators NFKBIA, CYLD, and TNFAIP3 Functional studies confirmed that inhibition of NFKBIA had a significant impact on NF-κB activity and NPC cell growth. The identified loss-of-function mutations in NFKBIA leading to protein truncation contributed to the altered NF-κB activity, which is critical for NPC tumorigenesis. In addition, somatic mutations were found in several cancer-relevant pathways, including cell cycle-phase transition, cell death, EBV infection, and viral carcinogenesis. These data provide an enhanced road map for understanding the molecular basis underlying NPC.

Abstract
Bone marrow examination has become increasingly important for the diagnosis and treatment of hematologic and other illnesses. Morphologic evaluation of the bone marrow aspirate and biopsy has recently been supplemented by increasingly sophisticated ancillary assays, including immunocytochemistry, cytogenetic analysis, flow cytometry, and molecular assays. With our rapidly expanding knowledge of the clinical and biologic diversity of leukemia and other hematologic neoplasms, and an increasing variety of therapeutic options, the bone marrow examination has became more critical for therapeutic monitoring and planning optimal therapy. Sensitive molecular techniques, in vitro drug sensitivity testing, and a number of other special assays are available to provide valuable data to assist these endeavors. Fortunately, improvements in bone marrow aspirate and needle technology has made the procurement of adequate specimens more reliable and efficient, while the use of conscious sedation has improved patient comfort. The procurement of bone marrow specimens was reviewed in the first part of this series. This paper specifically addresses the diagnostic interpretation of bone marrow specimens and the use of ancillary techniques.

Abstract
Diverse receptors, including Fcgamma receptors and beta(2) integrins (complement receptor-3 [CR3], CD11b/CD18), have been implicated in phagocytosis, but their distinct roles and interactions with other receptors in particle engulfment are not well defined. CD44, a transmembrane adhesion molecule involved in binding and metabolism of hyaluronan, may have additional functions in regulation of inflammation and phagocytosis. We have recently reported that CD44 is a fully competent phagocytic receptor that is able to trigger ingestion of large particles by macrophages. Here, we investigated the role of coreceptors and intracellular signaling pathways in modulation of CD44-mediated phagocytosis. Using biotinylated erythrocytes coated with specific antibodies (anti-CD44-coated erythrocytes [Ebabs]) as the phagocytic prey, we determined that CD44-mediated phagocytosis is reduced by 45% by a blocking CD11b antibody. Further, CD44-mediated phagocytosis was substantially (42%) reduced in CD18-null mice. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that CD11b is recruited to the phagocytic cup. The mechanism of integrin activation and mobilization involved activation of the GTPase Rap1. CD44-mediated phagocytosis was also sensitive to the extracellular concentration of the divalent cation Mg(2+) but not Ca(2+). In addition, buffering of intracellular Ca(2+) did not affect CD44-mediated phagocytosis. Taken together, these data suggest that CD44 stimulation induces inside-out activation of CR3 through the GTPase Rap1.

Abstract
Human mesial temporal lobe epilepsies (MTLE) are the most frequent form of partial epilepsies and display frequent pharmacoresistance. The molecular alterations underlying human MTLE remain poorly understood. A two-step transcriptional analysis consisting in cDNA microarray experiments followed by quantitative RT-PCR validations was performed. Because the entorhinal cortex (EC) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of the MTLE and usually discloses no detectable or little cell loss, resected EC and each corresponding lateral temporal neocortex (LTC) of MTLE patients were used as the source of disease-associated and control RNAs, respectively. Six genes encoding (i) a serotonin receptor (HTR2A) and a neuropeptide Y receptor type 1 (NPY1R), (ii) a protein (FHL2) associating with the KCNE1 (minK) potassium channel subunit and with presenilin-2 and (iii) three immune system-related proteins (C3, HLA-DR-gamma and CD99), were found consistently downregulated or upregulated in the EC of MTLE patients as compared with non-epileptic autopsy controls. Quantitative western blot analyses confirmed decreased expression of NPY1R in all eight MTLE patients tested. Immunohistochemistry experiments revealed the existence of a perivascular infiltration of C3 positive leucocytes and/or detected membrane attack complexes on a subset of neurons, within the EC of nine out of eleven MTLE patients. To summarize, a large-scale microarray expression study on the EC of MTLE patients led to the identification of six candidate genes for human MTLE pathophysiology. Altered expression of NPY1R and C3 was also demonstrated at the protein level. Overall, our data indicate that local dysregulation of the neurotransmission and complement systems in the EC is a frequent event in human MTLE.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus lacking glycoprotein gp85 cannot infect B-cells and epithelial cells. The gp85 belongs to the molecular complex required for virus invasion of B-lymphocyte or epithelial cells. Moreover, there is evidence that gp85 is necessary for virus attachment to epithelial cells. Thirty-six peptides from the entire gp85-sequence were tested in epithelial and lymphoblastoid cell line binding assays to identify gp85-regions involved in virus-cell interaction. Five of these peptides presented high binding activity to Raji, Ramos, P3HR-1, and HeLa cells, but not to erythrocytes; Raji-cell affinity constants were between 80 and 140nM. Of these five peptides, 11435 ((181)TYKRVTEKGDEHVLSLVFGK(200)), 11436 ((201)TKDLPDLRGPFSYPSLTSAQ(220)), and 11438 ((241)YFVPNLKDMFSRAVTMTAAS(260)) bound to a 65kDa protein on Raji-cell surface. These peptides and antibodies induced by them (recognising live EBV-infected cells) inhibited Epstein-Barr virus interaction with cord blood lymphocytes. It is thus probable that gp85-regions defined by peptides 11435, 11436, and 11438 are involved in EBV invasion of B-lymphocytes.

Abstract
The hairy leukoplakia lesion (HLP) is a unique example of a permissive infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the tongue epithelium. HLP contains abundant replicating viral DNA and may be coinfected with multiple EBV strains. In this study, characterization of viral gene transcription within HLP biopsy specimens revealed that several genes, usually expressed in latently infected lymphocytes, are also transcribed in the HLP lesion. The BamHI W and C promoters, (Wp and Cp) are consistently active in the HLP lesion, resulting in transcription and processing of mRNAs that encode the Epstein-Barr nuclear antigens (EBNAs) EBNA-LP, EBNA1, EBNA2, EBNA3B, and EBNA3C. The EBNA2 protein has been shown to activate expression of the EBV receptor, CD21. In HLP, CD21 transcription is also detected, usually in samples that contain transcripts for EBNA2. Transcripts encoding the LMP1 gene, the LMP2 gene, and rightward transcripts from the BamHI A fragment of the EBV genome are also detected in HLP. These gene products are invariably expressed in latently infected lymphocytes. This pattern of transcription suggests that genes characteristic of latent infection are also expressed in HLP. The activation of Wp and expression of EBNA2 and CD21 may contribute to the unique ability of the HLP lesion to permit superinfection and viral replication of multiple EBV strains.

Abstract
Glycoprotein gp85, the product of the BXLF2 open reading frame (ORF), is the gH homolog of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and has been implicated in penetration of virus into B cells. Like its counterparts in other herpesviruses, it associates with a gL homolog, gp25, which is the product of the BKRF2 ORF. Unlike the gH homologs of other herpesviruses, however, gp85 also complexes with two additional glycoproteins of 42 and 38 kDa. Glycoproteins gp42 and gp38 were determined to be alternatively processed forms of the BZLF2 gene product. Coexpression of EBV gH and gL facilitated transport of gH to the cell surface and resulted in formation of a stable complex of gH and gL. It also restored expression of an epitope recognized by monoclonal antibody E1D1, which immunoprecipitates the native gH complex but not recombinant gH expressed in isolation. Coexpression of gH, gL, and the BZLF2 ORF restored expression of an epitope recognized by a second monoclonal antibody, F-2-1, which immunoprecipitates the native gH-gL-gp42/38 complex but not the complex of recombinant gH and gL alone. The epitope recognized by antibody F-2-1 was mapped to the BZLF2 gene product itself. Antibody F-2-1 inhibited the ability of EBV to infect B lymphocytes but had no effect on the ability of the virus to infect the epithelial cell line SVK-CR2. In contrast, antibody E1D1 had no effect on infection of the B-cell line but inhibited infection of the epithelial cell line. These results indicate that penetration of the two cell types by EBV involves differential use of the gH-gL-gp42/38 complex and suggest the hypothesis that the BZLF2 gene product has evolved as a unique adaptation to infection of B lymphocytes by EBV.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) adsorption to human B lymphocytes is mediated by the viral envelope glycoprotein, gp350/220, which binds to the cell surface protein, CD21, also known as the CR2 complement receptor. Human epithelial cells also express an EBV receptor. A candidate surface molecule of 195 kD has previously been identified on an epithelial cell line and explanted epithelial tissue by reactivity with the CD21 specific monoclonal antibody (mAb), HB-5a. In experiments to further characterize the epithelial cell EBV receptor, we have found that two human epithelial cell lines, RHEK-1 and HeLa, specifically bind intact EB virions. A 145-kD protein, similar in size to B lymphocyte CD21, was specifically precipitated from surface iodinated RHEK-1 cells using the HB-5a mAb, or using purified soluble gp350/220 coupled to agarose beads. The previously identified 195-kD protein did not bind to gp350/220 or react with two other anti-CD21 mAbs. CD21 homologous RNA, similar in size to the B lymphocyte CD21 mRNA, was detected in both RHEK-1 and HeLa cells. The nucleotide sequence of the epithelial cell cDNA was identical to B lymphocyte CD21. The longest clone differs from previously reported CD21 cDNAs in having additional 5' untranslated sequence. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of RHEK-1- or B lymphoblastoid-derived cDNA verified that most CD21 transcripts are initiated at least 30-50 nucleotides upstream of the previously reported mRNA cap site. These experiments demonstrate that human epithelial cells can express CD21, and that CD21 is likely to mediate EBV adsorption to epithelial cells.

Abstract
The complement system mediates a wide range of important biological functions. The use of modern techniques in protein chemistry and molecular biology has greatly facilitated our understanding of the interactions between the fluid phase and cell-bound components of the system. Structural and genetic analysis has shown that while many of these components are polymorphic, there are major similarities between many of the proteins serving enzymatic and regulatory roles in both the alternative and classical pathways. The regulation of complement activation and Class III genes, on chromosomes 1 and 6 respectively, encode nine of the major proteins in the system. The genetic basis of C4 and C3 polymorphisms is now well established, and further study may reveal functional differences between polymorphic variants of other components. The study of individuals with either genetic or acquired deficiencies of complement proteins and receptors has provided insight into the function of these components, leukocyte adherence deficiency (LAD) providing the best example. An appreciation of the genetics, structure and functions of the regulatory proteins decay-accelerating factor (DAF) and homologous restriction factor has enhanced our understanding of the pathogenesis of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria. The full importance of CD59 glycoprotein, the newest member of the complement family, remains to be determined.
