چکیده
OBJECTIVE Subendothelial retention of proatherogenic lipoproteins by proteoglycans is critical in atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to characterize the recognition and antiatherogenic properties of a chimeric monoclonal antibody (mAb) that reacts with sulfated molecules. METHODS AND RESULTS chP3R99 mAb recognized sulfated glycosaminoglycans, mainly chondroitin sulfate (CS), by ELISA. This mAb blocked ≈70% of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-CS association and ≈80% of LDL oxidation in vitro, and when intravenously injected to Sprague-Dawley rats (n=6, 1 mg/animal), it inhibited LDL (4 mg/kg intraperitoneally, 1 hour later) retention and oxidation in the artery wall. Moreover, subcutaneous immunization of New Zealand White rabbits (n=19) with chP3R99 mAb (100 μg, 3 doses at weekly intervals) prevented Lipofundin-induced atherosclerosis (2 mL/kg, 8 days) with a 22-fold reduction in the intima-media ratio (P<0.01). Histopathologic and ultrastructural studies showed no intimal alterations or slight thickening, with preserved junctions between endothelial cells and scarce collagen fibers and glycosaminoglycans. In addition, immunization with chP3R99 mAb suppressed macrophage infiltration in aorta and preserved redox status. The atheroprotective effect was associated with the induction of anti-CS antibodies in chP3R99-immunized rabbits, capable of blocking CS-LDL binding and LDL oxidation. CONCLUSION These results support the use of anti-sulfated glycosaminoglycan antibody-based immunotherapy as a potential tool to prevent atherosclerosis.

Induction of anti-anti-idiotype antibodies against sulfated glycosaminoglycans reduces atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
OBJECTIVE The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is associated with the early retention of low-density lipoproteins that are trapped in the extracellular matrix of the arterial intima by interaction with glycosaminoglycan side chains of proteoglycans. Mutant mouse/human chimeric antibodies of the murine monoclonal antibody P3, which react with N-glycolyl-containing gangliosides and sulfated glycos...

The tetra-branched peptide NT4 selectively binds to different human cancer cells and tissues. NT4 specifically binds to sulfated glycosaminoglycans on cancer cell membranes. Since sulfated glycosaminoglycans are involved in cancer cell interaction with the extracellular matrix, we evaluated the effect of NT4 on cancer cell adhesion and migration. We demonstrated here that the branched peptide N...

Fibronectin (FN) is one of the essential component of the extra cellular matrix and their important role is as regulator of cellular activities and also fibronectin is an important scaffold for maintaining tissue. Fibronectin conformational changes expose additional binding sites that participate in fibril formation and in conversion of fibrils into a stabilized, insoluble form. In fact fibrone...
