Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at an increased cardiovascular risk compared with the general population, which is driven, at least in part, by mechanisms that are uniquely associated with kidney disease. In CKD, increased levels of oxidative stress and uraemic retention solutes, including urea and advanced glycation end products, enhance non-enzymatic post-translational modification events, such as protein oxidation, glycation, carbamylation and guanidinylation. Alterations in enzymatic post-translational modifications such as glycosylation, ubiquitination, acetylation and methylation are also detected in CKD. Post-translational modifications can alter the structure and function of proteins and lipoprotein particles, thereby affecting cellular processes. In CKD, evidence suggests that post-translationally modified proteins can contribute to inflammation, oxidative stress and fibrosis, and induce vascular damage or prothrombotic effects, which might contribute to CKD progression and/or increase cardiovascular risk in patients with CKD. Consequently, post-translational protein modifications prevalent in CKD might be useful as diagnostic biomarkers and indicators of disease activity that could be used to guide and evaluate therapeutic interventions, in addition to providing potential novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 has become one of the most important and challenging medical research topics in recent years. The presence of endothelial dysfunction, immune thrombosis, and oxidative stress contributes to complications and requires more extended hospitalisation of patients. In this article, we focused on analysing the impact of oxidative stress on the severity of COVID-19 infection. The study group consisted of 72 patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV enrolled. The patients were divided into moderate and severe diseases according to the SCRI (Simple Covid Risk Index, including lymphocyte/D-dimer ratio). Using the ELISA kit, we determined the level of AOPP and 8-OHdG. Patients with severe COVID-19 had higher levels of both AOPP (P < 0.05) and 8-OHdG (P < 0.05) compared to patients with moderate disease. Albumin levels were significantly lower (P < 0.001), although fibrinogen (P < 0.01), D-dimer (P < 0.001), and TF (P < 0.05) levels were higher in severe patients than in moderate course. AOPP/Alb was also higher among severe patients (P < 0.05). Our data suggest a potential role for AOPP and 8-OHdG in predicting the outcome of SARS-CoV-2 patients. Elevated AOPP levels were associated with increased Dimer-D, TF, and vWF activity levels.

Abstract
Chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, steatohepatitis, periodontitis, chronic kidney disease, and others are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, which persists even after accounting for traditional cardiac risk factors. The common factor linking these diseases to accelerated atherosclerosis is chronic systemic low-grade inflammation triggering changes in lipoprotein structure and metabolism. HDL, an independent marker of cardiovascular risk, is a lipoprotein particle with numerous important anti-atherogenic properties. Besides the essential role in reverse cholesterol transport, HDL possesses antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and antithrombotic properties. Inflammation and inflammation-associated pathologies can cause modifications in HDL's proteome and lipidome, transforming HDL from atheroprotective into a pro-atherosclerotic lipoprotein. Therefore, a simple increase in HDL concentration in patients with inflammatory diseases has not led to the desired anti-atherogenic outcome. In this review, the functions of individual protein components of HDL, rendering them either anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory are described in detail. Alterations of HDL proteome (such as replacing atheroprotective proteins by pro-inflammatory proteins, or posttranslational modifications) in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases and their impact on cardiovascular health are discussed. Finally, molecular, and clinical aspects of HDL-targeted therapies, including those used in therapeutical practice, drugs in clinical trials, and experimental drugs are comprehensively summarised.

Study of Albumin Oxidation in COVID-19 Pneumonia Patients: Possible Mechanisms and Consequences. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231710103.

Abstract
Oxidative stress induced by neutrophils and hypoxia in COVID-19 pneumonia leads to albumin modification. This may result in elevated levels of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) and advanced lipoxidation end-products (ALEs) that trigger oxidative bursts of neutrophils and thus participate in cytokine storms, accelerating endothelial lung cell injury, leading to respiratory distress. In this study, sixty-six hospitalized COVID-19 patients with respiratory symptoms were studied. AOPPs-HSA was produced in vitro by treating human serum albumin (HSA) with chloramine T. The interaction of malondialdehyde with HSA was studied using time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The findings revealed a significantly elevated level of AOPPs in COVID-19 pneumonia patients on admission to the hospital and one week later as long as they were in the acute phase of infection when compared with values recorded for the same patients 6- and 12-months post-infection. Significant negative correlations of albumin and positive correlations of AOPPs with, e.g., procalcitonin, D-dimers, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate transaminase, and radiological scores of computed tomography (HRCT), were observed. The AOPPs/albumin ratio was found to be strongly correlated with D-dimers. We suggest that oxidized albumin could be involved in COVID-19 pathophysiology. Some possible clinical consequences of the modification of albumin are also discussed.

N-Acetylcysteine Inhibits Platelet Function through the Regeneration of the Non-Oxidative Form of Albumin. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11030445.

Abstract
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is able to break down protein disulfides, generating free thiols. This mechanism occurs on mixed disulfides of albumin (HSA) to form mercaptoalbumin (HMA), the main antioxidant species in the plasma. Circulating HSA exists in two main forms: the reduced form (HMA), and the oxidized forms, whose predominant modification is cystenylation (HSA-Cys). Increased levels of oxidized HSA have been detected in several diseases associated with oxidative stress. This study showed that NAC inhibits platelet aggregation by restoring HMA. In addition, the regeneration of HMA by NAC inhibits platelet functions such as intracellular calcium mobilization, reactive oxygen species generation, arachidonic acid metabolites synthesis, and adhesion to the collagen matrix. In our conditions, the exposure of platelets to NAC did not increase GSH levels. However, the inhibition of platelet aggregation was also detected following treatment of platelet-rich plasma with GSH, which, similarly to NAC, reduced HSA-Cys levels. Furthermore, this study showed that cysteine, another compound able to restore HMA by reducing the HSA-Cys content, inhibited platelet aggregation to a similar extent as NAC. The results obtained in this study suggest a new mechanism by which NAC can modulate platelet activation and suggest its possible use as an antiplatelet drug in conditions associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
Understanding how platelets can sense and respond to hemodynamic forces in disturbed blood flow and complexed vasculature is crucial to the development of more effective and safer antithrombotic therapeutics. By incorporating diverse structural and functional designs, microfluidic technologies have emerged to mimic microvascular anatomies and hemodynamic microenvironments, which open the floodgates for fascinating platelet mechanobiology investigations. The latest endothelialized microfluidics can even recapitulate the crosstalk between platelets and the circulatory system, including the vessel walls and plasma proteins such as von Willebrand factor. Hereby, we highlight these exciting microfluidic applications to platelet mechanobiology and platelet–circulatory system interplay as implicated in thrombosis. Last but not least, we discuss the need for microfluidic standardization and summarize the commercially available microfluidic platforms for researchers to obtain reproducible and consistent results in the field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with CKD are at high risk for thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications. Abnormalities in platelet function are central to these complications, but reports on platelet function in relation to CKD are conflicting, and vary from decreased platelet reactivity to normal or increased platelet responsiveness. The direct effects of uremic toxins on platelet function have been described, with variable findings. METHODS To help clarify how CKD affects platelet function, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of platelet activity in CKD, with a focus on nondialysis-induced effects. We also performed an extensive literature search for the effects of individual uremic toxins on platelet function. RESULTS We included 73 studies in the systematic review to assess CKD's overall effect on platelet function in patients; 11 of them described CKD's effect on ex vivo platelet aggregation and were included in the meta-analysis. Although findings on platelet abnormalities in CKD are inconsistent, bleeding time was mostly prolonged and platelet adhesion mainly reduced. Also, the meta-analysis revealed maximal platelet aggregation was significantly reduced in patients with CKD upon collagen stimulation. We also found that relatively few uremic toxins have been examined for direct effects on platelets ex vivo; ex vivo analyses had varying methods and results, revealing both platelet-stimulatory and inhibitory effects. However, eight of the 12 uremic toxins tested in animal models mostly induced prothrombotic effects. CONCLUSIONS Overall, most studies report impaired function of platelets from patients with CKD. Still, a substantial number of studies find platelet function to be unchanged or even enhanced. Further investigation of platelet reactivity in CKD, especially during different CKD stages, is warranted.

Bioinformatics Analysis Reveals Crosstalk Among Platelets, Immune Cells, and the Glomerulus That May Play an Important Role in the Development of Diabetic Nephropathy. Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:657918.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the main cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Glomerulus damage is one of the primary pathological changes in DN. To reveal the gene expression alteration in the glomerulus involved in DN development, we screened the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database up to December 2020. Eleven gene expression datasets about gene expression of the human DN glomerulus and its control were downloaded for further bioinformatics analysis. By using R language, all expression data were extracted and were further cross-platform normalized by Shambhala. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by Student's t-test coupled with false discovery rate (FDR) (P < 0.05) and fold change (FC) ≥1.5. DEGs were further analyzed by the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) to enrich the Gene Ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway. We further constructed a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs to identify the core genes. We used digital cytometry software CIBERSORTx to analyze the infiltration of immune cells in DN. A total of 578 genes were identified as DEGs in this study. Thirteen were identified as core genes, in which LYZ, LUM, and THBS2 were seldom linked with DN. Based on the result of GO, KEGG enrichment, and CIBERSORTx immune cells infiltration analysis, we hypothesize that positive feedback may form among the glomerulus, platelets, and immune cells. This vicious cycle may damage the glomerulus persistently even after the initial high glucose damage was removed. Studying the genes and pathway reported in this study may shed light on new knowledge of DN pathogenesis.

Abstract
Serum albumin is the most abundant circulating protein in mammals including humans. It has three isoforms according to the redox state of the free cysteine residue at position 34, named as mercaptalbumin (reduced albumin), non-mercaptalbumin-1 and -2 (oxidized albumin), respectively. The serum albumin redox state has long been viewed as a biomarker of systemic oxidative stress, as the redox state shifts to a more oxidized state in response to the severity of the pathological condition in various diseases such as liver diseases and renal failures. However, recent ex vivo studies revealed oxidized albumin per se could aggravate the pathological conditions. Furthermore, the possibility of the serum albumin redox state as a sensitive protein nutrition biomarker has also been demonstrated in a series of animal studies. A paradigm shift is thus ongoing in the research field of the serum albumin. This article provides an updated overview of analytical techniques for serum albumin redox state and its association with human health, focusing on recent findings.

Abstract
Fibrinogen, a major constituent of blood plasma, is highly susceptible to reaction with biological oxidants. It has been proposed that fibrinogen plays a role in antioxidant defence, but oxidation of fibrinogen is also known to disrupt normal blood clotting and is implicated in the pathology of atherosclerosis. In the present study, we show that the biological oxidant hypochlorite promotes the formation of soluble high molecular weight fibrinogen assemblies ≥40 × 106 Da, that do not accumulate when fibrinogen is induced to aggregate by other stresses such as heating or hydroxyl-mediated damage in vitro. Hypochlorite-modified fibrinogen is stable at 37 °C as assessed by precipitation assays, and has reduced susceptibility to iron-induced (hydroxyl-mediated) precipitation compared to native fibrinogen. In contrast to hypochlorite-modified albumin, which is known to be immunostimulatory, hypochlorite-modified fibrinogen does not induce RAW 264.7 (macrophage-like) cells or EOC 13.31 (microglia-like) cells to produce reactive oxygen species or induce cell death. Furthermore, depletion of fibrinogen from human blood plasma increases the immunostimulatory property of blood plasma after it is supplemented with hypochlorite in situ. We propose that reaction of hypochlorite with fibrinogen in blood plasma potentially reduces the accumulation of other hypochlorite-modified species such as immunostimulatory hypochlorite-modified albumin. The latter represent a novel role for fibrinogen in blood plasma antioxidant defence.

Abstract
The cluster of differentiation 40 (CD40) is activated by the CD40 ligand (CD40L) in a variety of diverse cells types and regulates important processes associated with kidney disease. The CD40/CD40L signaling cascade has been comprehensively studied for its roles in immune functions, whereas the signaling axis involved in local kidney injury has only drawn attention in recent years. Clinical studies have revealed that circulating levels of soluble CD40L (sCD40L) are associated with renal function in the setting of kidney disease. Levels of the circulating CD40 receptor (sCD40), sCD40L, and local CD40 expression are tightly related to renal injury in different types of kidney disease. Additionally, various kidney cell types have been identified as non-professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that express CD40 on the cell membrane, which contributes to the interactions between immune cells and local kidney cells during the development of kidney injury. Although the potential for adverse CD40 signaling in kidney cells has been reported in several studies, a summary of those studies focusing on the role of CD40 signaling in the development of kidney disease is lacking. In this review, we describe the outcomes of recent studies and summarize the potential therapeutic methods for kidney disease which target CD40.

Abstract
Increased oxidative stress levels play a key role in idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) pathogenesis. To investigated whether advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) and ischaemia-modified albumin (IMA) can be used to monitor oxidative stress in DILI patients and to assess disease severity. We performed spectrophotometric assays to assess AOPPs and IMA in 68 DILI patients with severity grade 0-2 (non-severe group), 60 with severity grade 3-5 (severe group), and 38 healthy controls. The results showed that baseline AOPPs and IMA serum levels and AOPPs/albumin and IMA/albumin ratios were significantly higher in DILI patients than in healthy controls. Besides, in comparison to the non-severe group, the severe group showed higher baseline AOPPs and IMA serum levels and AOPPs/albumin and IMA/albumin ratios. AOPPs and IMA serum levels and AOPPs/albumin and IMA/albumin ratios decreased after treatment in both patient groups. Combining the correlation analysis and areas under the receiver operating curve (AUROCs) analysis results, that IMA outperformed to be one is the most reliable marker to assess disease severity of DILI. Our findings indicated that AOPPs and IMA can serve as key biomarkers for monitoring oxidative stress levels in DILI patients and can indicate disease severity. The IMA outperformed to be one of the most reliable oxidative stress biomarkers to assess disease severity of DILI.

CKD Increases Carbonylation of HDL and Is Associated with Impaired Antiaggregant Properties. J Am Soc Nephrol 2020; 31:1462-1477.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CKD is associated with increased oxidative stress that correlates with occurrence of cardiovascular events. Modifications induced by increased oxidative stress particularly affect circulating lipoproteins such as HDL that exhibit antiatheromatous and antithrombotic properties in vitro. METHODS To explore the specific role of oxidative modifications of HDL in CKD and their effect on the platelet-targeting antiaggregant properties of HDL, we used a CKD (5/6 nephrectomy) rabbit model. For ex vivo assessment of the antiaggregant properties of HDL, we collected blood samples from 15 healthy volunteers, 25 patients on hemodialysis, and 20 on peritoneal dialysis. We analyzed malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), and 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal protein adduct levels. Platelet aggregation and activation were assessed by aggregometry, thromboxane B2 assay, or FACS. We modified HDL from controls by incubating it overnight at 37°C with 100 µM of HNE. RESULTS HDL from CKD rabbits and patients on hemodialysis had HNE adducts. The percentage of platelet aggregation or activation induced by collagen was significantly higher when platelets were incubated with HDL from CKD rabbit and hemodialysis groups than with HDL from the control group. In both rabbits and humans, platelet aggregation and activation were significantly higher in the presence of HNE-modified HDL than with HDL from their respective controls. Incubation of platelets with a blocking antibody directed against CD36 or with a pharmacologic inhibitor of SRC kinases restored the antiaggregative phenotype in the presence of HDL from CKD rabbits, patients on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, and HNE-modified HDL. CONCLUSIONS HDL from CKD rabbits and patients on hemodialysis exhibited an impaired ability to inhibit platelet aggregation, suggesting that altered HDL properties may contribute to the increased cardiovascular risk in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tissue factor (TF) is a membrane component of many cells and a strong activator of blood coagulation. Damage to the cells induces an increase in its expression and concentration in blood plasma. The injury and breakdown of the cells is inseparably connected with the harvesting and preservation of the kidney. PURPOSE The aim of the study was an analysis of TF in the renal vein after of restoration of circulation in the transplanted kidney. An additional goal was to investigate the impact of warm ischemia on TF. MATERIALS AND METHODS The examined group included 61 kidney recipients. Blood was taken from the renal vein in the first minute during reperfusion. Simultaneously, blood from a peripheral vein was also drawn. Apart from tissue factor (TF), I also examined thrombin/antithrombin complexes and fragments 1+2 of prothrombin. RESULTS In blood from renal veins, I noticed higher level of TF, thrombin/antithrombin complexes and fragments 1+2 of prothrombin in comparison with blood from peripheral veins (P < .0048, P < .016, P < .046, respectively). The 29 recipients (47% of the total) with postoperative complications had much higher concentrations of TF than others (P < .019). TF showed a strong positive correlation with the time of warm ischemia (r = 0.53864, P < .05). CONCLUSIONS The donor kidney appeared to be one of the main sources of TF in the blood of recipients. Warm ischemia significantly increased its concentration in renal vein blood. This concentration of TF may be associated with damage to the kidney. TF significantly increased the risk of postoperative complications.

Hyperoxidized Albumin Modulates Platelets and Promotes Inflammation Through CD36 Receptor in Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis. Hepatol Commun 2020; 4:50-65. [PMID: 31909355 PMCID: PMC6939543 DOI: 10.1002/hep4.1440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2019] [Accepted: 09/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Hyperoxidized albumin promotes inflammation and modulates several immune cells in severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH). Platelets mediate inflammation by interacting with immune cells, endothelium, and other cells. The role of hyperoxidized albumin in platelet activation and alteration of platelet phenotype/functions is not known. Quantitative platelet proteomics performed in 10 patients with SAH was compared with 10 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and 10 healthy controls, respectively. Dysregulated pathways were identified and validated in a separate cohort (n = 40). Healthy platelets were exposed to patient plasma or purified albumin or ex vivo modified albumin (human-mercaptalbumin, humannonmercaptalbumin-1, and human nonmercaptalbumin 2) in the presence or absence of CD36 blockade, and platelet secretome was analyzed. Two hundred and two up-regulated proteins linked to platelet activation, complement regulation, lipid transportation, and 321 down-regulated proteins related to platelet hemostasis and coagulation (fold change ± 1.5, P < 0.01) were identified. Blood transcription module enrichment showed an inflammatory phenotype of SAH platelet. Increased level of platelet factor-4, P-selectin, and soluble cluster of differentiation-40 ligand correlated with severity (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score, r > 0.3, P < 0.05) in SAH. Transcripts linked to platelet activation (increased) and granular secretions (decreased in SAH) correlated with disease severity. SNARE (soluble-N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive-factor-activating-protein-receptor) complex proteins (SNAP-23 [synaptosomal-associated protein 23] and VAMP-8 [vesicle-associated membrane protein 3]) were down-regulated in SAH platelets (P < 0.05). In vitro stimulation of healthy platelets showed enhanced activation with patient plasma, or purified albumin-treatment blocking of CD36 blunted this effect (P < 0.05). Ex vivo modified albumin (primarily nonmercaptalbumin-human nonmercaptalbumin 2 [HNA2; 1 mg/mL]) showed high activation and aggregation and intracellular reactive oxygen species production in healthy platelets (P < 0.05), which significantly reduced after CD36 neutralization. Platelet secretome showed reduced inflammatory mediators and increased repair proteins. Conclusion: Hyperoxidized albumin triggers platelet activation (possibly through the CD36 receptor), promotes inflammation and oxidative stress, and contributes to disease severity in patients with SAH.

The effects of citrate dialysate in hemodialysis on polymorphonuclear elastase interaction with tissue factor and its inhibitor. ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2019; 7:391. [PMID: 31555705 PMCID: PMC6736810 DOI: 10.21037/atm.2019.07.57] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2019] [Accepted: 07/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate whether hemodialysis (HD) affects tissue factor (TF), tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), and polymorphonuclear elastase (PMNE) in endstage renal disease (ESRD) patients when eliminating the effects of heparin. Also, to explore the interaction of TF, TFPI, and PMNE throughout a single HD session. METHODS We enrolled 57 ESRD patients who had undergone hemodialysis for >3 months as an experimental group. Plasma levels of TF, TFPI and PMNE were measured by ELISA in 24 ERSD patients on intermittent HD using low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) as anticoagulation (LMWH group) and 33 ESRD patients using citrate as anticoagulation (citrate group) at the start and at 1, 2 and 5 h of the HD session. Meanwhile,28 ESRD patients not on dialysis were enrolled as a control group and fasting venous blood samples were taken in the morning. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the plasma TFPI levels of the LMWH group and the citrate group were significantly higher (P=0.000, P=0.002, respectively) under baseline conditions as well as the plasma PMNE levels (P=0.001, P=0.02, respectively), whereas TF showed no difference (P=0.186). During HD with citrate, plasma TFPI decreased slightly (P=0.012) and PMNE increased significantly (P=0.008) at 1 h. The plasma TFPI levels of the citrate group correlate with PMNE at 2 and 5 h (P=0.001, P=0.008, respectively). CONCLUSIONS ESRD patients on HD have significantly higher TFPI and PMNE levels compared to patients not on HD under baseline conditions, while TF levels were similar between the three groups. TFPI and PMNE are differently regulated, but the plasma levels correlated during HD in the citrate group. It might be possible that PMNE plays a role in anticoagulative activity through TFPI.

Abstract
Prolonged cold storage (CS) of kidneys is associated with poor renal outcome after transplantation (Tx). We recently showed that in rats (Lewis), proteasome and renal function were severely compromised in kidney transplants subjected to CS (CS/Tx) as compared with those without CS exposure (autotransplanted [ATx]).

Secretory phospholipase A 2 modified HDL rapidly and potently suppresses platelet activation. Sci Rep 2017; 7:8030.

Abstract
Levels of secretory phospholipases A2 (sPLA2) highly increase under acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. sPLA2 is mainly associated with high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and generates bioactive lysophospholipids implicated in acute and chronic inflammatory processes. Unexpectedly, pharmacological inhibition of sPLA2 in patients with acute coronary syndrome was associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. Given that platelets are key players in thrombosis and inflammation, we hypothesized that sPLA2-induced hydrolysis of HDL-associated phospholipids (sPLA2-HDL) generates modified HDL particles that affect platelet function. We observed that sPLA2-HDL potently and rapidly inhibited platelet aggregation induced by several agonists, P-selectin expression, GPIIb/IIIa activation and superoxide production, whereas native HDL showed little effects. sPLA2-HDL suppressed the agonist-induced rise of intracellular Ca2+ levels and phosphorylation of Akt and ERK1/2, which trigger key steps in promoting platelet activation. Importantly, sPLA2 in the absence of HDL showed no effects, whereas enrichment of HDL with lysophosphatidylcholines containing saturated fatty acids (the main sPLA2 products) mimicked sPLA2-HDL activities. Our findings suggest that sPLA2 generates lysophosphatidylcholine-enriched HDL particles that modulate platelet function under inflammatory conditions.
