Serum autoantibodies as biomarkers in atherosclerotic disease
Atherosclerosis-related diseases such as acute ischemic stroke (AIS), acute myocardial infarction, and chronic kidney disease remain major global health burdens, yet the potential role of autoantibodies in these conditions has only recently begun to be recognized. This review summarizes the methodology and characteristics of atherosclerosis autoantibody biomarkers reported in our previous studies. In our earlier research, we performed a large-scale screening of serum autoantibody markers for atherosclerotic diseases, such as AIS, using expression cloning and protein array methods, and identified 106 antibodies. Among these, 34 markers were selected as potentially useful diagnostic markers, with serum antibody levels found to be higher in patients with atherosclerosis-related diseases than in healthy donors. The autoantibody markers were highly sensitive, with elevated levels observed not only in patients with AIS but also in those with transient ischemic attack, a prodromal stage of AIS. Thus, the autoantibodies may serve as predictive markers for AIS. The potential use of autoantibodies as targets for prevention and/or treatment is also discussed in this review.
