| Objective(s): Excess intake of a high-fatty diet (HFD) together with zymosan administration mediates vasculitis response which leads to impaired serum lipid levels and causes arterial stiffness. In the development of new cholesterol-lowering medications, PCSK9 inhibitor (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) is an emerging therapeutic. The goal of the present study was to see whether anti-PCSK9 mAb1 might prevent vasculitis in C57BL/6 mice by blocking TLR2/NF-B activation in HFD and Zymosan-induced vasculitis. Materials and Methods: Protein-protein molecular docking was performed to validate the binding affinity of anti-PCSK9 mAb1 against TLR2. Under the experimental study, mice were randomly allocated to the following groups: Group I: standard mice diet (30 days) + Zymosan vehicle (sterile PBS solution of 5mg/ml on 8th day); Group II: HFD (30 days) + Zymosan ( single IP dose 80 mg/kg on day 8th); Group III: HFD+Zymosan + anti-PCSK9 mAb1 (6 mg/kg, s.c. on 10th and 20th days); Group IV: HFD+Zymosan+anti-PCSK9 mAb1 (10 mg/kg, s.c. on 10th and 20th days). Results: In comparison with the low dose of anti-PCSK9 mAb1 (6 mg/kg), the high dose of anti-PCSK9 mAb1 (10 mg/kg) together with HFD and Zymosan inhibited vasculitis more effectively by decreasing aortic TLR2 and NF-B levels, reducing serum TNF- and IL-6, and up-regulating liver LDLR levels, which down-regulated serum LDL-C and improved serum lipids levels. Histopathological studies showed that anti-PCSK9 mAb1 treatment reduced plaque accumulation in the aorta of mice. Conclusion: These findings indicate that anti-PCSK9 mAb1 has therapeutic potential in reducing HFD and Zymosan-induced vascular inflammation. | ||
