Background: PLA2G2A
Secretory Phospholipase A2 is an enzyme that hydrolyses the sn-2 ester bond of phospholipids, generating non-esterified free fatty acids and lysophospholipids (1‑3). PLA2G2A is a calcium-dependent phospholipase expressed in many cell types participating in inflammation-associated cellular responses, including platelets, neutrophils, and mast cells. It may function as an enzymatic component of the host defense mechanism. For example, human tears contain a high concentration of PLA2G2A, a principal bactericidal factor against Gram-positive bacteria in this fluid. It may play a role in cell proliferation through binding a receptor on the cell membrane. PLA2G2A has been shown to have pro-atherogenic properties both in the circulation and within the arterial wall (4). It is an acute phase protein expressed in response to a variety of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Circulating levels of sPLA2G2A are higher in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients and are associated with increased risk of future CAD (5).
