Circulating Secretory Phospholipase A2 Activity Predicts Recurrent Events in Patients With Severe Acute Coronary Syndromes

Abstract: A single measurement of plasma sPLA2 activity at the time of enrollment provides strong independent information to predict recurrent events in patients with ACS.

“…Moreover, increased circulating level of phospholipase A2, coded by PLA2GA2, has been reported as a significant risk factor for CAD (17). It has also been suggested to function as a strong predictor of recurrent events in patients with acute coronary syndromes such as myocardial infarction (21). The Pla2g4a gene, coding for a cytosolic form of phospholipase A2, has so far been shown to be necessary for normal growth, as well as playing an important role for pathological stress-induced hypertrophy of the mouse heart (10).…”

“…Human sPLA 2 s have been classified into groups IB, IIA, IID, IIE, IIF, III, V, X, XIIA and XIIB according to their structural properties (Laye and Gill, 2003;Rouault et al, 2003;Murakami et al, 2005;Cummings, 2007). Several of these proteins have recently been proposed either as biomarkers of pathologies (Smith et al, 2003;Mallat et al, 2005;Wootton et al, 2007) or as therapeutic targets (Laye and Gill, 2003;Cummings, 2007;Henderson et al, 2007). These enzymes have the capacity to generate biologically active lipid mediators such as lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and arachidonic acid (AA), which can be further converted into prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ).…”

“…On the other hand, atherosclerosis itself is increasingly recognized as a localized inflammatory condition within the vessel wall (12,13). The pathophysiological significance of sPLA 2 in this respect is underlined by studies demonstrating increased circulating plasma levels of sPLA 2 to be predictive for acute coronary events (14)(15)(16).…”
