Phospholipase A(2) in vascular disease.
Secretory phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) can be proatherogenic both in the circulation and in the arterial wall. In blood plasma, PLA(2) can modify the circulating lipoproteins and so induce formation of small dense LDL particles, which are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease. In the arterial wall, PLA(2) can hydrolyze lipoproteins. The PLA(2)-modified lipoproteins bind tight...

متن کاملLipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2, Vascular Inflammation and Cardiovascular Risk Prediction
Circulating lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is a marker of inflammation that plays a critical role in atherogenesis; its inhibition may have antiatherogenic effects. Studies from the West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study (WOSCOPS), Monitoring Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Diseases (MONICA) and Rotterdam cohorts have shown that Lp-PLA2 is an independent predict...
متن کاملPhospholipase C Isoforms, Cytoskeletal Organization, and Vascular Smooth Muscle Differentiation.
The function of differentiated vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in vivo is the regulation of contractility. Following injury or disease, however, VSMC lose their contractile function and take on a synthetic, proliferative phenotype. This dedifferentiation is generally accompanied by a change in the expression profile of phospholipase C isoforms.
متن کاملHEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Secreted phospholipase A2 induces vascular endothelial cell migration
Secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) regulates a variety of cellular functions. The present investigation was undertaken to elucidate the potential role of sPLA2 in endothelial cell (EC) migration. Bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) exposed to sPLA2 placed in the lower compartment of a modified Boyden chamber displayed increased migration compared to cells exposed to vehicle. The effect of sP...
