BSP105
ICAM-1/VCAM-1
Atherosclerosis
Pre-clinical
Vascular stress such as hyperlipidemia, oxidized LDL (ox-LDL), and smoking activates NF-κB, MAPKs, and AP-1 signaling in vascular endothelial cells, inducing increased expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and related molecules, along with endothelial inflammation.
As a result, monocyte adhesion and transendothelial migration (TEM) are promoted, while macrophage activation and foam-cell formation accelerate the accumulation and progression of atherosclerotic plaques.
BSP105 is a recombinant protein derived from the AI-powered BSP™ platform, designed to regulate ICAM-1 / VCAM-1-centered endothelial–immune interactions at the upstream level of these vascular inflammatory responses.
BSP105 is designed to stabilize the vascular inflammatory environment by alleviating excessive activation of endothelial inflammatory signaling.
