Secreted phospholipases A2 (sPLA2s) are present in atherosclerotic plaques and are now considered novel attractive therapeutic targets and potential biomarkers as they contribute to the development of atherosclerosis through lipoprotein-dependent and independent mechanisms. We have previously shown that hGX-sPLA2-phospholipolyzed LDL (LDL-X)...

OBJECTIVE: Increased secreted phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) activity has been documented in several inflammatory disorders. Among sPLA(2)s, the human group X (hGX)-sPLA(2) has the highest catalytic activity towards phosphatidylcholine (PC), the major phospholipid of cell membranes and blood lipoproteins. hGX-sPLA(2) has been detected in human...
