Patent

CA 2421994

Complement is recognized as an important, humoral defense system involved in the innate (nonspecific) recognition and elimination of microbial invaders, other foreign particles or molecules, and antigen-antibody complexes form the body. The present invention makes use of the surprising notion that the handling of lipids by the body, rather than its antimicrobial activity, is the primary and most ancient function of the complement system. Consequently, atherosclerosis as observed in disorders associated with disturbed lipid metabolism (familial combined hyperlipemia [FCHL], postprandial hyperlipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia with low levels of HDL cholesterol, and insulin resistance associated with type-II diabetes and obesity), must be ascribed to either genetic or acquired defects in ancient (activatory and/or regulatory) complement components. Based on this new insight, novel preventive measures and treatment modalities of disturbed lipid metabolism are introduced.

L'invention concerne un complément reconnu comme étant un système important de défense humorale impliqué dans la reconnaissance innée (non spécifique) et l'élimination d'envahisseurs microbiens, d'autres particules ou molécules étrangères, et de complexes antigène-anticorps du corps. L'invention concerne l'utilisation de la notion étonnante selon laquelle le traitement des lipides par le corps, plutôt que son activité antimicrobienne, est la fonction principale et la plus ancienne du système complément. En conséquence, l'athérosclérose telle qu'observée dans des troubles liés au métabolisme lipidique perturbé (hyperlipémie combinée familiale [FCHL], hyperlipidémie postprandiale, hypertriglycéridémie présentant de faibles niveaux de HDL cholestérol, et résistance à l'insuline associée aux diabètes de type II et à l'obésité) doit être attribuée à des défauts génétiques ou acquis dans des composants compléments anciens (activateurs et/ou régulateurs). Compte tenu de cette nouvelle connaissance, l'invention traite de nouvelles mesures préventives et de nouvelles modalités de traitement du métabolisme lipidique perturbé.
