sPLA2-IIA Augments Oxidized LDL-Induced MCP-1 Expression in Vitro Through Activation of Akt

Background/Aims: Group IIA secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-IIA) has an important role in atherosclerosis. In this study, we explored whether sPLA2-IIA overexpression could promote atherosclerosis in normal environment alone or with other inflammatory factors. Methods: Human aortic smooth muscle ce...
