Summary

This review explores how immune factors, specifically autoantibodies against oxidized LDL, cardiolipin, beta2-glycoprotein-I, and heat-shock proteins, contribute to atherosclerosis development in humans and mice.

Background:

Atherosclerosis is a complex disease influenced by multiple factors.
Immune system involvement in atherosclerosis is increasingly recognized.
Autoantibodies may play a role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the role of specific autoantibodies in atherosclerosis.
To examine the association of autoantibodies with human and murine atherosclerosis.
To highlight immune factors in atherogenesis.

Main Methods:

Literature review of studies on autoantibodies and atherosclerosis.
Analysis of autoantibodies targeting oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL).
Examination of autoantibodies against cardiolipin, beta2-glycoprotein-I, and heat-shock protein 60/65.

Main Results:

Several autoantibodies, including those against oxLDL, cardiolipin, beta2-glycoprotein-I, and heat-shock proteins, are associated with atherosclerosis.
Evidence suggests these autoantibodies contribute to atherogenesis in both human and animal models.
The immune response is a significant factor in atherosclerosis pathology.

Conclusions:

Autoantibodies targeting specific antigens are implicated in atherosclerosis.
Understanding these immune mechanisms can offer new insights into disease progression.
Further research into autoantibody-mediated atherogenesis is warranted.
