Are these immune responses associated with cardiovascular disease in humans? Can protective immune responses be selectively activated by a vaccine? Can antibodies be used directly to treat atherosclerosis?,Characterization of epitopes in oxidized LDL by a library of peptide ELISAs,302 peptides, corresponding to the complete amino acid sequence of Apo B-100 Each peptide consists of 20 amino acids with 5 amino acids overlap Modification by malondialdehyde (MDA),Active immunization of apo E null mice with apo B-100 peptide sequences,Immunization with 100 mg peptides at 6, 9 and 11 weeks of age using Alum as adjuvant High cholesterol diet at 10 weeks of age Atherosclerosis assessed by Oil Red O staining of the descending aorta at 25 weeks of age,Effect of oxidized LDL peptide vaccines on atherosclerosis in mice,% atherosclerosis,P0.01,P0.005,0,0,05,0,1,0,15,0,2,0,25,0,3,Control,Peptide 45,Peptide 210,Peptide 240,Fredrikson GN et al,Effect of immunization with MDA-apoB- 100 peptide 45 on specific IgM, IgG, IgG1 (Th2) and IgG2a (Th1) in apo E null mice,*p0.05, *p0.005,Fredrikson GN et al, Autoimmunity 2005.,Immunization using MDA-apo B-100 peptides in mice,Reduction of atherosclerosis by up to 70% Remaining plaques contain more collagen and less macrophages Increase in IgG but not in IgM Switch from Th1 to Th2-specific IgG No significant effects on plasma lipids,Passive immunization strategy,Human IgG1 against peptides 45 and 210 were produced through screening of a single chain antibody fragment library and subsequent cloning into a pcDNA3 vector Apo E knockout mice were given high cholesterol diet from 6 weeks of age Treated with 0.5 mg antibody at 21, 22 and 23 weeks of age and sacrificed two weeks later Effects assessed by ORO staining of descending aorta, Trichrome Masson staining and macrophage immunostaining of subvalvular plaques,Effect of passive immunization with recombinant human IgG against peptide 45 on early atherosclerosis in mice,Schiopu et al, Circulation 2004,Regression of aortic plaque area in antibody treated Apobec-1-/-/LDLr -/- mice,Schiopu A et al., JACC 2007,Recombinant human antibodies to MDA-apoB-100 peptides upregulate ABCA-1 expression in vivo and in vitro,Schiopu A et al., JACC 2007,Recombinant human antibodies to MDA-apoB-100 peptides block oxidized LDL-induced monocyte MCP-1 production in vitro,Schiopu A et al., JACC 2007,Conclusions,The identification of the immunogenic structures in oxidized LDL has made it possible to develop novel therapeutic approaches for treatment of atherosclerosis. Studies performed in atherosclerosis-prone mice demonstrate that both peptide-based vaccines and recombinant IgG targeting epitopes in oxidized LDL significantly reduce atherosclerosis.,Atherosclerosis,Lipid metabolism imbalance Inflammation Immuno-response,Thank you !,
