中文摘要: 课题组前期研究发现,冠心病患者血浆IL-35水平显著降低。预实验表明,重组IL-35可显著延缓动脉粥样硬化(AS)进程。因此,我们提出IL-35负向调节AS进程的假说。本研究将动态观察AS进程和IL-35水平变化,并采用上调或阻断IL-35、过继转输iTr35等方法进行干预,阐明IL-35负向调节AS的机制。本研究的顺利进行,可望为AS进程免疫功能的受损及调控机制提供新的实验依据,并提出以IL-35为靶点恢复免疫稳态、防治动脉粥样硬化的新思路,具有一定的理论价值和创新性。

英文摘要: We found that the plasma interleukin-35(IL-35) levels in patients with coronary artery disease were siginificantly lower than those in the control group. Our preliminary study showed that recombinant mouse IL-35 treatment of ApoE-/- mice ameliorated atherosclerosis development. Therefore, we hypothesized that IL-35 may become a novel target for the treatment of atherosclerosis. The change in IL-35 production and the development of atherosclerosis will be dynamically investigated in this sstudy. In addition, different approaches will be used to up-regulate or abolish the effect of IL-35 to clarify the exact role of IL-35 in atherosclerosis. This study is deem to discover novel experimental evidence for the impaired immune function and regulatory mechanism in atherosclerosis, providing a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of atherosclerosis.
