ABSTRACT
Interleukin (IL)-1ß plays an important role in atherosclerosis pathogenesis. We aimed to investigate the effect of anakinra, a recombinant human IL-1 receptor antagonist, on the progression of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE−/−) mice. ApoE−/− mice (8-week male) were treated with saline (control), anakinra 10, 25, and 50 mg/kg, respectively (n = 10 in each group). Mice were fed a standard chow (4 weeks) followed by an atherogenic diet (35kcal% fat, 1.25% cholesterol, 12 weeks). Atheromatous plaques in ApoE−/− mice and the expression of inflammatory genes and signaling pathways in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RAOSMCs), and 3T3-L1 adipocytes were assessed. Anakinra reduced the plaque size of the aortic arch (30.6% and 25.2% at the 25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg doses, both p < 0.05) and serum triglyceride in ApoE−/− mice and suppressed inflammatory genes (IL-1ß and IL-6) expressions in HUVECs and RAOSMCs (all p < 0.05). In RAOSMCs, anakinra reduced metalloproteinase-9 expression in a dose-dependent manner and inhibited cell migration. Anakinra-treated mice exhibited trends of lower CD68+ macrophage infiltration in visceral fat and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression was reduced in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Anakinra could be a useful component for complementary treatment with a standard regimen to reduce the residual cardiovascular risk.
