The endothelium plays an integral role in the maintenance of vascular homeostasis. However, oxidative stress associated with reperfusion of ischemic tissues activates complement, resulting in a loss of vascular homeostasis and a pro-inflammatory state. Complement activation following ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is associated with myocardial infarction (Hill and Ward, 1971), atherosclerosis (Vlaicu et al., 1985), intestinal ischemia (Fruchterman et al., 1998), hemorrhagic shock (Spain et al., 1999), sepsis (Lubbe et al., 1994) and pulmonary injury (Mulligan et al., 1996). However, the mechanisms of complement activation following oxidative stress have not been fully elucidated.
