    • Associations between complement pathways activity, mannose-binding lectin, and odds of unprovoked venous thromboembolism 

      Høiland, Ina Isabella; Liang, Robin Amanda; Hindberg, Kristian; Latysheva, Nadezhda; Brekke, Ole-Lars; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-30)
      INTRODUCTION: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) originates in the valvular sinuses of large veins in a local milieu characterized by stasis and severe hypoxia. This may induce complement- and coagulation activation, which potentially increases the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the activity of the complement pathways, the level of mannose-binding ...

    • Complement activation assessed by the plasma terminal complement complex and future risk of venous thromboembolism 

      Høiland, Ina Isabella; Liang, Robin Amanda; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Pettersen, Kristin; Ludviksen, Judith K; Latysheva, Nadezhda; Snir, Omri; Ueland, Thor; Hindberg, Kristian; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-28)
      <i>Background</i>- It remains uncertain whether activation of the complement system, assessed by the soluble terminal C5b‐9 complement complex (plasma TCC), is associated with future risk of incident venous thromboembolism (VTE).<p> <p><i>Objectives</i>- To investigate the association between plasma levels of TCC and future risk of incident VTE in a nested case‐control study, and to explore ...

    • Plasma levels of mannose-binding lectin and future risk of venous thromboembolism 

      Liang, Robin Amanda; Høiland, Ina Isabella; Ueland, Thor; Aukrust, Pål; Snir, Omri; Hindberg, Kristian; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Garred, Peter; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-20)
      <i>Background</i> - Animal and observational studies have suggested a pathophysiological role for complement in venous thromboembolism (VTE), but the initiating mechanisms are unknown. Mannose‐binding lectin (MBL) bound to altered host cells leads to activation of the lectin complement pathway, and both high and low MBL levels have been implicated in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular ...

    • Role of Mannose-Binding Lectin and Complement Activation in Venous Thromboembolism 

      Liang, Robin Amanda (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-12-17)
      The complement and coagulation systems are two interrelated plasma protein cascades. Evidence from observational and animal studies has proposed a role for the complement system in the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but the exact mechanisms remain obscure. The aim of this thesis was to investigate whether activation of the complement system impacts the risk of VTE and to investigate ...
