Abstrakt: Coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, and its life-threatening sequels impose the hugest burden on the healthcare systems throughout the world. The intricate process of atherosclerosis is considered as an inflammatory-based disorder, and therefore, the components of the immune system are involved in different stages from formation of coronary plaques to its development. One of the major effectors in this way are the antibody producing entities, the B cells. These cells, which play a significant and unique role in responding to different stress, injuries, and infections, contribute differently to the development of atherosclerosis, either inhibitory or promoting, depending on the type of subsets. B cells implicate in both systemic and local immune responses of an atherosclerotic artery by cell-cell contact, cytokine production, and antigen presentation. In particular, natural antibodies bind to oxidized lipoproteins and cellular debris, which are abundant during plaque growth. Logically, any defects in B cells and consequent impairment in antibody production may greatly affect the shaping of the plaque and its clinical outcome. In this comprehensive review, we scrutinize the role of B cells and different classes of antibodies in atherosclerosis progression besides current novel B-cell-based therapeutic approaches that aim to resolve this affliction of mankind.
