Lp-PLA2Lipoprotein-associated Phospholipase A2 • Ca2+ - independent phospholipaseA2 • 45-kDa proteinwith 441 amino acids • Synthesized by inflammatory cells: monocyte-derived macrophages, T-lymphocytes, mast cells • Lp-PLA2 in circulationbindswithhighaffinityto lipoproteins, primarily to low density lipoproteins (LDL) • Lp-PLA2 catalyzes the hydrolysis of platelet-activating factor (PAF) • Lp-PLA2 is involved in hydrolysis of oxidized phospholipids associated with lipoproteins

Effect of changes in levels of Lp-PLA2 activity on CVD outcomes: LIPID study CVD death, MI, stroke, UAP, revascularization 2.0 0.5 1.0 Adjusted for age, gender, stroke, diabetes, smoker, hypertension, total-c, HDL-c, prior ACS, revascularisation, SBP, atrial fibrillation, eGFR, BMI, dyspnoea, angina, WBC, PVD, aspirin, fasting glucose, triglycerides, ApoB, ApoA1, and change in LDL-c White HD et al., J Am Heart Assoc 2013
LIPID Study: Results • Reduction in Lp-PLA2 is a significant predictor of CHD events even after adjustment for • treatment • 23 baseline risk factors • 7 other new biomarkers (i.e. NTproBNP, troponin I, Lp-PLA2) • reduction in LDL-cholesterol • Change in Lp-PLA2 may account for a substantial proportion of Pravastatin effect in reducing CHD events White HD et al., J Am Heart Assoc 2013

Summary • Lp-PLA2 is a specific marker for vascular inflammation and is a circulating measure of the progression of rupture-prone plaque • Elevated Lp-PLA2 plasma levels and activity correlate with a doubling of risk for cardiovascular disease • Lp-PLA2 levels can be used to identify patients who require more aggressive treatment, including lipid-lowering therapy • Lp-PLA2 – risk factor and therapeutical target ?
