IgG1 Is the Optimal Subtype for Treating Atherosclerosis by Inducing M2 Macrophage Differentiation, and Is Independent of the FcγRIIA Gene Polymorphism.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, it has been established that atherosclerosis is an autoimmune disease. However, little is currently known about the role of FcγRIIA in atherosclerosis. Herein, we sought to investigate the relationship between FcγRIIA genotypes and the effectiveness of different IgG subclasses in treating atherosclerosis. We constructed and produced different subtypes of IgG and Fc-engineered antibodies. In vitro, we observed the effect of different subtypes of IgG and Fc-engineered antibodies on the differentiation of CD14⁺ monocytes from patients or healthy individuals. In vivo, Apoe^-/- mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks and administered injections of different CVI-IgG subclasses or Fc-engineered antibodies. Flow cytometry was used to assess the polari
