C4a is a small protein released from complement component C4 upon activation of
the complement system's classical and lectin pathways, which are important
constituents of innate immune surveillance. Despite the structural similarity
between C4a and well-described anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a, the binding partner
and biological function of C4a have remained elusive. Using a cell-based reporter
assay, we screened C4a against a panel of both known and orphan G protein-coupled
receptors and now provide evidence that C4a is a ligand for protease-activated
receptor (PAR)1 and PAR4. Whereas C4a showed no activity toward known
anaphylatoxin receptors, it acted as an agonist for both PAR1 and PAR4 with
nanomolar activity. In human endothelial cells, ERK activation by C4a was
mediated through both PAR1 and PAR4 in a G?(i)-independent signaling pathway.
Like other PAR1 activators, C4a induced calcium mobilization through the
PAR1/G?(q)/PLC? signaling axis. Moreover, C4a increased stress fiber formation
and enhanced endothelial permeability, both of which were reduced by PAR1
antagonists. In sum, our study identifies C4a as an untethered agonist for PAR1
and PAR4 with effects on cellular activation and endothelial permeability,
thereby revealing another instance of cross-talk between the complement system
and other host defense pathways.
