Definitions

  • Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by flow- obstructing deposits on inner arterial linings.
  • the deposits, or plaques contain cellular waste products and substances such as cholesterol and calcium.
  • the plaques can rupture and set in motion a cascade that culminates in blood clots associated with gangrene, heart attack, and stroke.
  • Immune responses to autoantigens are important components of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis as evident from proatherogenic adoptive transfer of CD4 + T cells from atherosclerotic donors and reduced atherosclerotic lesions in immunodeficient animals.
  • oxidized low-density lipoprotein oxLDL
  • HSP 60 heat shock protein-60
  • ⁇ l(V) chains form ⁇ l(V) 3 homotrimers (Haralson etal, PNAS 77:5206-5210 (1980). These homotrimers are excluded from the interior of type I collagen fibrils (Chanut-Delalande et at, J Biol. Chem. 276:24352- 24359 (2001)) and are instead exposed to the immune system, potentially initiating an immune cascade leading to obliterative bronchiolitis. Oral administration of collagen V reduced delayed type hypersensitivity to alloantigens in rats (WO 2007/120947). [0005] ⁇ l(V) chains are specifically up-regulated in atherosclerotic plaques
  • the present invention arises from the inventors' observation, disclosed herein for the first time, that human and non-human subjects having coronary artery disease, but not control subjects, exhibit antigen-specific cellular immunoreactivity to collagen V. From this observation, the inventors understand that incidence of atherosclerosis and its associated physiological symptoms can be modulated by inducing immunological tolerance towards collagen V or antigenic fragments thereof such that the immune system does not mount a specific anti-collagen V immune response. Relatedly, new methods for diagnosing atherosclerosis involve detecting collagen V in coronary arteries and/or collagen V-specific immunoreactivity.
  • the invention is summarized in that methods for modulating an effect of atherosclerosis in a human or non-human subject having, or at risk of developing, the disease include the step of inducing immunological tolerance in the subject.
  • the tolerance-inducing step includes the steps of administering to the subject collagen V, at least one antigenic fragment thereof or a polynucleotide encoding either of the foregoing, and observing a reduced atherosclerotic burden in the subject.
  • a therapeutically effective amount of type V collagen is administered to a patient having atherosclerosis.
  • Type V collagen, or fragment thereof can be administered, for example, orally, intravenously, intramuscularly, or via any other suitable route.
  • methods for determining risk of an individual for developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease includes the step of determining collagen V specific immunoreactivity.
  • the determining step comprises measuring the amount of collagen V-specific antibodies in a serum sample of an individual.
  • Methods for measuring amounts of specific antibodies are well known in the art and include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometry.
  • collagen V fragments are immobilized on a bead and collagen V-specific antibodies binding to the immobilized collagen V are detected through secondary antibody staining.
  • the secondary antibody can be selective for antibody subclasses, e.g., the IgGl-4 subclasses, such that the progression of disease in an individual can be monitored by measuring different collagen V-specific antibody subclass amounts in samples taken at time intervals.
