Abstract

Abstract—Some observations have suggested that the extracellular group IIa phospholipase A 2(sPLA 2), previously implicated in chronic inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, may contribute to atherosclerosis. We have examined this hypothesis by studying transgenic mice expressing the human enzyme. Compared with nontransgenic littermates, the transgenic mice exhibited dramatically increased atherosclerotic lesions when maintained on a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet. Surprisingly, the transgenic mice also exhibited significant atherosclerotic lesions when maintained on a low-fat chow diet. Immunohistochemical staining indicated that sPLA 2 was present in the atherosclerotic lesions of the transgenic mice. On both chow and atherogenic diets, the transgenic mice exhibited decreased levels of HDLs and slightly increased levels of LDLs compared with nontransgenic littermates. These data indicate that group IIa sPLA 2 may promote atherogenesis, in part, through its effects on lipoprotein levels. These data also provide a possible mechanism for the observation that there is an increased incidence of coronary artery disease in many chronic inflammatory diseases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
