The main PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY cause underlying thrombosis and cardiovascular events is atherosclerosis, an PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY inflammatory disease that can remain asymptomatic for long periods of time. PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY There is an urgent need for new therapeutic and diagnostic options in this area. PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY Atherosclerotic plaques have long been known to contain autoantibodies 1, 2, and PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY there is a well-accepted connection between atherosclerosis and autoimmunity 3. PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY However, the immunogenic trigger and the impact of the autoantibody response PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY during atherosclerosis are not well understood 3, 4, 5. Here we performed a PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY high-throughput single-cell analysis of the atherosclerosis-associated antibody PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY repertoire. Antibody gene sequencing of more than 1700 B cells from atherogenic PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY LDLR-/- mice and control animals identified 56 antibodies expressed by PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY in-vivo-expanded clones of B lymphocytes in the context of atherosclerosis. A PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY third of the expanded antibodies showed reactivity against the atherosclerotic PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY plaque, indicating that various antigens in the lesion can trigger antibody PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY responses. A deep proteomics analysis revealed aldehyde dehydrogenase 4 family PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY member A1 (ALDH4A1), a mitochondrial dehydrogenase involved in proline PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY metabolism, as target antigen of one of these autoantibodies, A12. We show that PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY ALDH4A1 distribution is altered during atherosclerosis and circulating levels of PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY ALDH4A1 are increased in mice and humans with atherosclerosis, supporting the PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY potential use of ALDH4A1 as disease biomarker. A12 antibody infusion into PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY LDLR-/- mice delayed plaque formation and reduced circulating levels of free PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY cholesterol and LDL suggesting that anti-ALDH4A1 antibodies can play a PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY protective role in atherosclerosis progression and might have therapeutic PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY potential. Our study reveals a new auto-antigenic trigger target of the PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY atherosclerosis-associated antibody response and opens new avenues for PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in CVD.
