Atherosclerosis is a condition that is increasingly contributing to worldwide mortality through complications such as stroke and myocardial infarction. IL-1? plays multiple direct, local roles in the formation and stability of the atheroma by eliciting the production of additional cytokines and proteolytic enzymes from macrophages, endothelial cells (EC) and smooth muscle cells (SMC). We therefore tested whether an anti-IL-1? antibody, XOMA 052, might inhibit the secretion of pro-atherogenic cytokines from macrophages in vitro and affect a positive outcome in the Apolipoprotein E-deficient mouse (ApoE(-/-)) model of atherosclerosis in vivo.
