A large number of studies have been reported on associations of coronary artery disease (CAD) in human and certain persistent bacterial and viral infections. 1

In 1978, Fabricant et al showed that experimental infection of germ-free chickens with an avian herpes virus induces arterial disease that resembles human atherosclerosis. 2

Criteria Needed to Establish An Autoimmune Etiology. Witebsky-Rose criteria 4
It should be possible to:1. Demonstrate immunological reactivity to a self-antigen.
Characterize or isolate the inciting autoantigen.2. Induce immunological reactivity against that same antigen by
immunization of experimental animals.3. Show pathological changes (similar or identical to those
found in human disease) in the appropriate organs/tissues of an actively-sensitized animal.
4. As in 4 but following passive transfer of auto-Abs or auto-reactive T cells.

Human heat shock proteins (HSPs) are expressed on endothelial cells in response to stressors such as hypertension, smoking, lipoproteins - etc. 5
HSPs offer a target for autoimmunity under such circumstances. 5

Expression Of Heat Shock Protein-70 By Dendritic Cells
In early intimal lesions, HSP70 is over-expressed exclusively by dendritic cells, which suggests that dendritic cells might be involved in the early phases of atherogenesis. 6

Cellular and Humoral Immune Responses to Heat- Shock Protein 65 Are Both Involved In Promoting
Fatty-Streak Formation In LDL-Receptor Deficient Mice

J Am Coll Cardiol 2001; 38: 900-905.
Antibodies and lymphocytes reactive to HSP65 promote fatty-streak formation in mice, providing direct evidence for the proatherogenic properties of cellular and humoral immunity to HSP65.

As reported in VP Watch this week, Lamb et al used a BCG immunization model to assess the role of HSP in the association between infection and CAD. 7

They immunized rabbits with BCG vaccine (n=10) or saline (n=10) and subsequently fed a cholesterol diet for 10 weeks. 7
Plasma IgG specific for mycobacterial antigen A60 and human HSP-60, but not for human HSP-70, rose following BCG immunization, reaching a peak after 8 weeks. 7

Effect of BCG immunization on atherosclerosis in thoracic aorta of cholesterol-fed rabbits
Lamb DJ, Ferns GA. The magnitude of the immune response to heat shock protein-65 following BCG immunization is associated with the extent of experimental atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis. 2002 Dec;165(2):231-40.
![Page 20: 189 hsp 65](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ecc6321a28abae2b8b4647/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The percentage aortic area covered by atherosclerotic plaque was greater in animals immunized with BCG compared to controls.7
The authors did not find any correlation between anti-A60 antibody titers and plaque area. 7
![Page 21: 189 hsp 65](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ecc6321a28abae2b8b4647/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Conclusion:
Immunization with an HSP-containing BCG vaccine, using doses equivalent to those used for tuberculosis prophylaxis, has pro-atherogenic consequences in the cholesterol-fed rabbits.
This effect may be mediated in part by immune response directed against BCG-associated HSP.

Questions:
- Is heat shock protein 65 the main culprit autoantigen for atherosclerosis?
- Knowing the role of HSP-65 in other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, how specific can HSP-65 be for atherosclerosis?
![Page 23: 189 hsp 65](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ecc6321a28abae2b8b4647/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Questions:
Should we look for a single specific antigen for atherosclerosis in all patients?
Or do different antigens exist in different patients or even within the same patient?
![Page 24: 189 hsp 65](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58ecc6321a28abae2b8b4647/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Questions: Do you think that the role of these
autoantigens may vary at different stages of the disease? Do you think that some may contribute to plaque development and others may induce plaque complication?
Knowing that high LDL is necessary for atherosclerosis and HSP only enhances atherosclerosis, is it appropriate to say that HSP-65 may be more important in plaque complication (vulnerability) than plaque generation?
