Beta 2‐glycoprotein 1 as a molecular‐therapeutic target in APS‐related pregnancy morbidity
Therapy | ß2GP1 relation | Mechanism of action | Effect | Model | References |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
TIFI peptide | Mimics Vth domain of ß2GP1. | Competitive inhibition: prevents binding of ß2GP1 to target cells. | Dose ‐ dependent inhibition of ß2GP1 binding to trophoblast. | In vitro. Cytotrophoblast cell culture. | [95, 96, 97] |
Reduce growth retardation and fetal loss rate induced by aPL. | In vivo. Murine model, pregnant C57BL/6 mice. | ||||
1N11 monoclonal antibody | Monoclonal antibody to ß2GP1. | Decreases antibody binding to ß2GP1 and impede interaction between ß2GP1 and apoER2. | Prevents alterations of early trophoblast migration and proliferation. | In vitro. Trophoblast cell line HTR‐8SV neo. | [98] |
Reduce increase in fetal resorption induced by aPL. | In vivo. Murine model, female Balb/c. | ||||
MBB2ΔCH2 | Non‐complement fixing antibody to ß2GP1. | Competitive inhibition: prevents binding of aß2GP1 to ß2GP1 domain I. | Reduce fetal resorption frequency and increase fetal weight. |
In vitro. BeWo and HUVECs In vivo. Murine model‐ female BALB/c mice. |
