**Background of Recombinant CFH Protein**
Complement Factor H (CFH) is a critical regulatory protein in the innate immune system, primarily responsible for controlling the alternative pathway (AP) of the complement system. This glycoprotein, composed of 20 short consensus repeat (SCR) domains, acts as a soluble inhibitor to prevent excessive complement activation on host cells and tissues. By binding to C3b, glycosaminoglycans, and other surface markers, CFH accelerates the decay of the C3 convertase (C3bBb) and serves as a cofactor for factor I-mediated cleavage of C3b, thus protecting healthy cells from complement-mediated damage.
Dysregulation or genetic mutations in CFH are strongly linked to several diseases, including atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and C3 glomerulopathies (C3G). These conditions arise from uncontrolled AP activation, leading to inflammation, tissue injury, and organ dysfunction. For instance, CFH mutations impair its binding to host surfaces, rendering cells vulnerable to complement attack.
Recombinant CFH (rCFH) is produced via biotechnological methods, often using mammalian expression systems (e.g., CHO cells) to ensure proper post-translational modifications. It retains the functional domains necessary for complement regulation and has emerged as a therapeutic candidate. In preclinical and clinical studies, rCFH has shown potential in restoring complement homeostasis in CFH-deficient or dysfunctional states. For example, it may supplement endogenous CFH in genetic disorders or block pathological complement activation in autoimmune diseases.
Research also explores engineered CFH variants, such as mini-CFH (containing key SCR domains), to enhance tissue targeting or bioavailability. Despite challenges in production costs and immunogenicity, rCFH represents a promising strategy for precision therapies in complement-driven diseases, bridging gaps in understanding disease mechanisms and treatment development. Its application extends to diagnostic tools and drug screening platforms, underscoring its multifaceted role in biomedical innovation.
