Abstract
Complement 1 inhibitor (C1INH) serving as a multifunctional factor can participate in the regulation of complement cascades and attenuate the activation of various proteases. In this study, we obtained EcC1INH cDNA and the tissue-specific analysis indicate that the highest expression level of EcC1INH mRNA was detected in liver. Moreover, Vibrio alginolyticus challenge can significantly increase EcC1INH mRNA expression in liver and kidney. N-terminal domain of EcC1INH could decrease LPS binding activity to cell surface, while loss of positively charged residues (PCRs) Arg21, His22, Lys50, Arg61 in N-terminal domain of EcC1INH can significantly reduce its interaction with LPS. Furthermore, LPS injection experiment indicated that the binding of EcC1INH N-terminal domain to LPS can antagonize LPS-induced inflammatory signaling pathway and attenuate the production of proinflammatory cytokines in vivo, indicating that EcC1INH was involved in negative regulation of inflammatory response.
