    Title translation Role of Complement in Kidney Diseases - New Aspects.
    Abstract Complement is a central part of the immune system. In the human body, complement is responsible for recognition of infectious microbes, for coordinating the adaptive immune response, controlling homeotic reactions and for the non-inflammatory removal of modified self-cells and infectious microbes. Complement is also closely linked to another proteolytic cascade, the coagulation system. Defective activation and altered complement regulation drives pathology of several severe human kidney diseases.This manuscript summarizes the latest developments on the role of complement in kidney diseases, on new complement inhibitors and on recent complement targeting therapies. In particular focusing on diseases (1) atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, (2) C3 Glomerulopathy, (3) Anti Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody Mediated Vasculitis, (4) IgA Nephropathy, (5) Membranous Glomerulopathy, (6) Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, (7) Transplant rejection and (8) COVID 19 Infection-Triggered Kidney Diseases. More excitement is generated in this field, as more and more complement mediated diseases can be treated. Several complement targeting compounds are approved by the EMA and FDA and an increasing number of new candidates are in late phase clinical trials. In addition, clinical guidelines are developed for Diagnosis and Therapy of complement mediated diseases, new biomarkers are evaluated in clinical studies, and diagnostic guidelines are in development. The recent Covid infections showed a clear link of complement in thrombo inflammation, which ultimately results in kidney damage. These aspects have increased further the focus of complement inhibitors in COVID infections.

    Abstract Paul Ehrlich was a pioneering Immunobiologist and physician who coined the term 'complement' in the year 1899. He was a leading visionary scientist who worked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Berlin and Frankfurt. He received numerous awards and honors for his substantial contributions to immunobiology and medicine, including the identification of complement, and he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1908 in recognition of his work on immunity. During his clinical work, Paul Ehrlich treated a patient with paroxysmal hemoglobinuria and reported his diagnostic approaches, including those related to erythrocyte lysis and microscopic cell analysis, to the Verein für Innere Medicine/Society of Internal Medicine, Berlin. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria was shown to be a complement-mediated disease; treatment of this disease with the complement inhibitor Eculzimab/Soliris was approved by the European Medicines Agency in 2003 and by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 2007.

    Abstract Genaue Darstellung von Komplement bei Nierenerkrankungen nachgewiesen : Eine fehlerhafte Komplementaktivierung bzw. eine defekte, unpräzise Regulation von einzelnen Reaktionen dieses Immunsystems sind in der Zwischenzeit bei mehreren unterschiedlichen Nierenerkrankungen klar aufgezeigt worden.
    Komplementdefekte sind therapierbar : Die komplementvermittelten Pathophysiologien bei den einzelnen Erkrankungen zeigen häufig eine stetige Überaktivierung einzelner Reaktionsschritte. Das genaue Verständnis dieser Mechanismen, die oft einhergehen mit Entzündungsreaktionen, Zellrekrutierung und Zellschädigung, erlauben eine gezielte Target-Identifizierung und den Einsatz von neuen Wirkstoffen. Aktuell gibt es eine Reihe von therapeutischen Wirkstoffen, die in die Komplementkaskade eingreifen. Mehrere Wirkstoffe sind schon für den therapeutischen Einsatz zugelassen, andere befinden sich in fortgeschrittener klinischer Erprobung und sind auf dem Weg zu einer Zulassung. Bei den Wirkstoffklassen für Nierenerkrankungen handelt es sich um monoklonale Antikörper, Nanobodies, die von der variablen Domäne von einzelsträngigen Lama- oder Kameliden-Antikörpern abgeleitet sind, kleine chemische Verbindungen, RNA-basierte Moleküle, sowie rekombinante Proteine.
    Diagnostik von Komplement-Erkrankungen : Aktuell werden Leitlinien zu unterschiedlichen Aspekten der Rolle des Komplementsystems bei Nierenerkrankungen erstellt. Viele der für die Komplement-Diagnostik relevanten Untersuchungen werden häufig nur von Speziallaboren angeboten.
    Präzisierung von Biomarkern in klinischen Studien und Diagnostik-Leitfaden : Die Identifikation von selektiven krankheitsspezifischen Biomarkern ist hochrelevant. Sie sind für die präzise Diagnose und für das Monitoring nach einer (komplement-)gerichteten Therapie von größter Bedeutung.
    Komplement-Infektionen – Covid und Nierenerkrankung : Bei COVID-19-Infektionen hat sich gezeigt, dass das stark aktivierte Komplementsystem zur Thromboinflammation und Schädigung der Niere beiträgt und einen erheblichen Faktor bei dieser Infektion darstellt.

    Abstract Pathogenic platelet factor 4 (PF4) antibodies contributed to the abnormal coagulation profiles in COVID-19 and vaccinated patients. However, the mechanism of what triggers the body to produce these antibodies has not yet been clarified. Similar patterns and many comparable features between the COVID-19 virus and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) have been reported. Previously, we identified a new mechanism of autoimmunity in HIT in which PF4-antibodies self-clustered PF4 and exposed binding epitopes for other pathogenic PF4/eparin antibodies. Here, we first proved that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (SP) also binds to PF4. The binding was evidenced by the increase in mass and optical intensity as observed through quartz crystal microbalance and immunosorbent assay, while the switching of the surface zeta potential caused by protein interactions and binding affinity of PF4-SP were evaluated by dynamic light scattering and isothermal spectral shift analysis. Based on our results, we proposed a mechanism for the generation of PF4 antibodies in COVID-19 patients. We further validated the changes in zeta potential and interaction affinity between PF4 and SP and found that their binding mechanism differs from ACE2-SP binding. Importantly, the PF4/SP complexes facilitate the binding of anti-PF4/Heparin antibodies. Our findings offer a fresh perspective on PF4 engagement with the SARS-CoV-2 SP, illuminating the role of PF4/SP complexes in severe thrombotic events.
