Abstract
Background. The activation of complement is involved in monocyte recruitment in tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE), while the role of the cleavage product of complement C3 in this process needs further research. Methods. The expression of complement components in pleural biopsy specimens of TPE patients was measured. The concentration of cleavage products of complement was tested in TPE by ELISA. Moreover, the colocalizations of C3b and CR1, C3d and CR3, and CXCL12 and CXCR4 in monocytes and pleural mesothelial cells (PMCs) isolated from TPE were determined by an immunofluorescent assay. Monocyte chemotaxis assay was analyzed via transwell chambers. Results. Three pathways of the complement system were activated in tuberculous pleurisy. In patients with TPE, C3 lysis was more active than peripheral blood in pleural cavity. Tuberculous protein Mpt64 and anaphylatoxin C3a could significantly promote CXCL12 production in human PMCs isolated from TPE. C3b-CR1, C3d-CR3, and CXCL12-CXCR4 were colocalized in PMCs and monocytes from TPE. The recruitment of monocytes into TPE mediated by PMCs could be inhibited by anti-CR1, anti-CR3, and anti-CXCL12 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Conclusions. Complement activates strongly in TPE, and PMCs induced monocytes to the pleural cavity through C3a, C3b, and C3d.

IJCP is a general medical journal. IJCP gives special priority to work that has international appeal.
IJCP publishes:
Editorials. IJCP Editorials are commissioned. [Peer reviewed at the editor''s discretion]
Perspectives. Most IJCP Perspectives are commissioned. Example. [Peer reviewed at the editor''s discretion]
Study design and interpretation. Example. [Always peer reviewed]
Original data from clinical investigations. In particular: Primary research papers from RCTs, observational studies, epidemiological studies; pre-specified sub-analyses; pooled analyses. [Always peer reviewed]
Meta-analyses. [Always peer reviewed]
Systematic reviews. From October 2009, special priority will be given to systematic reviews. [Always peer reviewed]
Non-systematic/narrative reviews. From October 2009, reviews that are not systematic will be considered only if they include a discrete Methods section that must explicitly describe the authors'' approach. Special priority will, however, be given to systematic reviews. [Always peer reviewed]
''How to…'' papers. Example. [Always peer reviewed]
Consensus statements. [Always peer reviewed] Short reports. [Always peer reviewed]
Letters. [Peer reviewed at the editor''s discretion]
