drug development | sPLA2s and Lp-PLA2 inhibitors darapladib and varespladib emerge as promising therapeutical options for treating patients with coronary artery disease. Lp-PLA2 inhibition may favorably affect rupture-prone lesions | Homo sapiens |
medicine | combination of sPLA2 activity and cardiovascular reactive protein values is more useful to detect incident risk of coronary artery disease than either biomarker alone. Prognostic value of plasma concentrations and activity of Lp-PLA2 in patients with coronary heart disease | Homo sapiens |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

metabolism | sPLA2s and Lp-PLA2 produce biologically active metabolites that are involved in several phases of the atherosclerosis process | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | sPLA2s (sPLA2-IIA) and Lp-PLA2 are associated with atherogenesis and its complications. Increased levels of these two phospholipases are related with an increase in complex coronary lesions and increase in major cardiovascular clinical events, respectively. sPLA2 may play an important role in atherogenesis by modifying low density lipoprotein particles in the arterial wall, thereby enhancing their aggregation, retention, and macrophage uptake. Cytotoxic compounds from Lp-PLA2 play an important in plaque vulnerability, Lp-PLA2 has a predominantly proinflammatory role in atherogenesis | Homo sapiens |
