Targeting Interferon- to Treat Atherosclerosis
The chronic inflammatory nature of atherosclerotic disease is now widely appreciated. Abnormal deposition and oxidative modification of serum lipoproteins in arterial walls stimulates the recruitment of monocytes and their conversion into foam cells. Concurrently, both innate and adaptive immune responses are induced. Cytokines and growth factors produced as part of these responses lead to the ...
متن کاملInterferon-γ: Promising therapeutic target in atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the vasculature and is the primary cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is currently the world's leading cause of death and the numbers are predicted to rise further because of a global increase in risk factors such as diabetes and obesity. Current therapies such as statins have had a major impact in reducing mortality from CVD. Howeve...
متن کاملDevelopment of interferon γ-based immunocytokines targeting renal cancer
Advanced renal cancer is an incurable malignancy in need of novel therapeutic avenues. We have generated interferon γ (IFNγ)-based fusion antibodies (immunocytokines) that target CD70, a putative biomarker of renal cancer. These immunocytokines efficiently labeled renal cancer cells, and, when combined with the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib, killed them by activating a RIP1-dependent necrotic...
متن کاملTargeting T cells to treat atherosclerosis: odyssey from bench to bedside
More than 150 years from the initial description of inflammation in atherosclerotic plaques, randomized clinical trials to test anti-inflammatory therapies in atherosclerosis have recently been initiated. Lymphocytes and macrophages are main participants in the inflammatory response in atherosclerosis. T lymphocytes operate mainly by exerting strong influences on the function of many cells in t...
متن کاملIncreasing Affinity of Interferon-γ Receptor 1 to Interferon-γ by Computer-Aided Design
We describe a computer-based protocol to design protein mutations increasing binding affinity between ligand and its receptor. The method was applied to mutate interferon-γ receptor 1 (IFN-γ-Rx) to increase its affinity to natural ligand IFN-γ, protein important for innate immunity. We analyzed all four available crystal structures of the IFN-γ-Rx/IFN-γ complex to identify 40 receptor residues ...
