Abstract:
The complement system is an important part of the innate immune system,including more than 50 secretory proteins and membrane-bound proteins,and it contributes to the clearance of apoptotic cells and invading pathogens to limit inflammatory immune responses and maintaining brain homeostasis.Complement activity is strictly regulated to protect cells from random attacks or to prevent the deposition of complement proteins in physiological cases.However,overactivation or abnormal regulation of the complement cascade in the brain can lead to neuronal damage and brain dysfunction.Recent studies have pointed out that changes in complement molecules exist in patients with psychiatric diseases and play an important role in the occurrence and development of diseases by regulating the function of neurons and glial cells.Therefore,summarizing the latest research progress of complement system in psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia,autism spectrum disorder,major depression,bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder can provide new ideas for preventing and controlling psychiatric diseases caused by abnormal activation of complement system.
