脂蛋白相关磷脂酶A2(Lp-PLA2)是一种非钙依赖性磷脂酶A2,由白细胞分泌,与动脉粥样硬化斑块中循环低密度脂蛋白和巨噬细胞相关。直到最近,Lp-PLA2在动脉粥样硬化中的生物学作用还存在争议,但现在大多数证据表明该酶具有致动脉粥样硬化的作用。LP-PLA2产生溶血磷脂酰胆碱和氧化非酯化脂肪酸两种促炎介质,它们在动脉粥样硬化病变的发展和坏死核的形成中发挥重要作用,导致更脆弱的斑块。这些发现为一个潜在的新的治疗靶点-选择性抑制Lp-LPA2打开了大门。最近,动物模型和人类研究都表明,选择性抑制LP-PLA2可以降低血浆LP-PLA2的活性、斑块面积和坏死核心面积。本文综述了LP-PLA2抑制剂的最新研究进展。
Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is a calcium-independent phospholipase A2 enzyme secreted by leukocytes and associated with circulating low-density lipoprotein and macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques. Until recently, the biological role of Lp-PLA2 in atherosclerosis was controversial, but now the preponderance of evidence demonstrates a proatherogenic role of this enzyme. Lp-PLA2 generates two proinflammatory mediators, lysophosphatidylcholine and oxidized nonesterified fatty acids, which play a major role in the development of atherosclerotic lesions and formation of a necrotic core, leading to more vulnerable plaques. These findings have opened the door to a potential novel therapeutic target, selective inhibition of Lp-LPA2. Recently, both animal models and human studies have shown that selective inhibition of Lp-PLA2 reduces plasma Lp-PLA2 activity, plaque area, and necrotic core area. This article reviews the most recent developments with Lp-PLA2 inhibitors.
